What if the duo is Luka Doncic and Jaden Hardy all along? Like ignoring the meme here.

    We should all be excited for Hardy. This Mavs team even with Kyrie has no chance at ever competing unless Hardy and Green are able to become very solid starters. Green being a really good starter is probably his ceiling and that’s totally fine. Hardy has actual star ability, happy to have them both.

    Hardy has been the lone bright spot this entire season, if kyrie re-signs, then getting a lottery pick in the second round, and a superstar for two role players and a first is tremendous asset management. Nico did his job, kidd needs to do his.

    What if we play HARDY LUKA AND KAI.

    Slashers EVERWHERE

    Had an argument with a friend last night that actually believes Poole will have the better overall career, citing a ring as part of the argument, and ignoring the three year age gap and how much Hardy is already just about as good as Poole, putting up better rookie numbers too. (YES IM TALKING ABOUT YOU MATT! THAT WAS A RIDICULOUS CONVERSATION, STAT GUY!)

    LET’S GET A HARDY PARTY STARTED AND WE’LL ALWAYS HARDY PARTY HARD!

    Edit: fixed a word

    We should trade THJ and let Hardy cook. I think he can be 6MOTY next year

  6. Luminous-Savior

    I love Hardy and have rooted for him all year, but if Kyrie re-signs we need a big any way we can get it. If we have to lose Hardy to truely compete for championship over the next 3 years, I would take it.

    Even though I would really hate to see him go

    Hardy will go back to zero minutes per game as soon as Kyrie is back. There are only so many minutes we can give to guards and Kidd really wants to see what we’ve got in Frank.

    Mav sub has no right to say kidd is bad at line ups when every week it’s a different player being hailed as the future third star

  9. looks like he needs to play alongside luka or kyrie, because he shoots way more efficient when those two run the pg. can’t really play them all three together, so if kyrie decides to stay, hardy might not see the minutes he deserves

    Today’s game shows 2 things:

    1. Luka proves that he can cooperate with an elite guard without question. The coop between Luka and Hardy makes me wet.
    2. Hardy is learning fast as hell, unexpected.

    Honestly, I don’t think Hardy can be a Brunson-type player, his vision is unlike Brunson’s (Brunson is a pure guard with elite scoring, while Hardy is an offensive guard with a bit of vision) But if you are talking about a 3rd ball handler from the bench, I believe Hardy can be our Jordan Clarkson. The next thing for Mavs is to find a big wing to cover the defense. So for me, this team must make playoffs to give the pick to Knicks and let us have the 2024-2028 picks back. This is for the trade.

    Hardy has a long way to go in development. And Luka is not the third best on the team that’s crazy talk

  12. musash10

    Kyrie, Hardy, and Luka combined with a defensive 4 and 5 is a championship contender until kyrie gets old. If we can tank this year and pick up like Taylor Hendricks or trade the pick for like precious achiuwa + dereck lively we’d be set for a long time.

  13. KhanQu3st

    It’s possible Hardy is only developing this quickly bc we got Kyrie tho. I do agree that he plays better in Kyrie’s absence tho.

  14. landman2002

    Kidd really screwed Jaden out of rookie of the year, the way he has been playing I could easily see him rivaling Paolo

  15. cvandyke01

    I would like to say he is the best 2nd rounder since Agent Zero but Joker was a 2nd also… Funny that a month ago people on here wanted Hardy to be a thrown in to get some trades done.

    As bad as this season has become, I am starting to wonder if we might actually get lucky and Kyrie gets flipped for AD or a 3 way which gets us Jaylen Brown. A Luka, Jaylen, Jaden, Green foursome would break the NBA. Just need a Center which is what we have been saying about the Maves since 1981

  16. Kidd realizes this and and plays him <15 min some games cause mckinley wright the 7th might have even more potential

  17. dragonwhale

    Hardy is an exciting prospect.. He remind anyone else of a chihuahua? Put his head on a chihuahua and it will be a very ordinary chihuahua.

  18. EATMYBASS3

    Hardy’s game reminds me of Jordan Poole

  19. Idk if it was for future all nba or all star, but someone made a post about this rookie class and I called Paolo, Murray and Hardy. Mavs got a steal. Really like Hardy, hope everything works out for him

  20. MFFL12_17

    You can tell Hardy is a special kind of offense threat. The sky’s the limit for this kid.

  21. Technologhee

    We accidentally did a mid season rebuild in a year we should have been contending.

  22. TelosKairos

    He’s exactly why you don’t do the max kyrie deal. This club is laden with good young guard talent.. hell all they have are good point guards and Maxi, and they get killed in the paint every single game regardless of the opponent. Mcgee didn’t work. Buy him out, sign Wood, get a big who can defend.

  23. question2552

    very reactionary take: Low key the way Hardy is playing I wish we had gone for a center instead of Kyrie. I will walk this back if we get to the playoffs and somehow Kyrie + Luka duo dominates. if not I think we should sign and trade him in the summer.

  24. Try-Imaginary

    That game was the first time I saw Hardy play. Wow, he is going to be good. (already is)

  25. Yesboi227

    Honesty , if we can I would trade kyrie to get jaylen brown next season. I know kyrie won’t go to celtics, but there can be a 3-way trade

  26. Quirky66103

    Bro, that would be straight up amazing!!! I mean, imagine Luka Doncic and Jaden Hardy playing together on the Mavericks!!! That would be epic as hell! If that happens, then the Mavericks would definitely have a much better chance at winning the championship.

    Jaden Hardy is one of the top prospects for the 2022 NBA Draft and his talent is insane. Pairing him with Luka Doncic would be a deadly duo. They could create some serious magic on the court and make some highlight reel plays that would go viral in no time!

    But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, fam. We gotta wait and see what happens in the upcoming draft. If the Mavericks do end up getting Jaden Hardy, then we can definitely start getting hyped up for the next season. For now, we just gotta cross our fingers and hope for the best.

    In the words of Shia LaBeouf, “just do it!” Let’s hope the Mavericks get Jaden Hardy so we can all witness some basketball awesomeness!
