Mavericks' Master Plan: Landing LeBron James | Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges

Show Notes

Norm Hitzges is back with another hard-hitting, insight-packed episode of Just Wondering — and this time, he’s laser-focused on all things DFW sports.

⚾ The Texas Rangers hit the All-Star break with more questions than answers. Injuries, inconsistencies, and a tricky trade deadline loom large. Is Chris Young ready to roll the dice?

🏀 Then there's Cooper Flagg — the teenage phenom already drawing LeBron-sized expectations before he’s even played a minute. Norm pumps the brakes with some wise words for fans eager to crown him too soon.

🏈 And it wouldn’t be a DFW episode without a little Cowboys drama. Norm lays into the ongoing Micah Parsons contract saga, sending a not-so-subtle message to Jerry Jones (wherever he is — yacht, bunker, alien spaceship… who knows?).

From behind-the-scenes strategy to front-page speculation, Norm delivers it all with his signature sharp wit, backed by Fluent Financial and Bob’s Steak and Chop House (because great sports talk pairs well with great steak).
