  1. This is Fing BS. I've been a MFFL. NO MORE. Cuban and Trash management have ruined the Dallas Mavericks. Such disrespect for the fans in Dallas. Goodbye NBA.

  2. Oh stfu. It's business. Smart business. Doesn't look good, but it's a marathon, not a sprint. So many whiny Luka DRiders trying to talk about everything but Luka because they're mad that they can't watch Luka play basketball anymore this year.

  3. I think if y’all wouldn’t traded you would’ve had a chance because before the trade Dallas Mavericks was 5th

  4. Once Kyrie and Luka become friends who make each other better it's the Mavs will be amazing

  5. Reason is simple. Mavs has 0 chance for a deep run even if they somehow get in the playoffs. But in that scenario Kyrie will get a lot more leverage going into the off season negotiations. From a team building perspective mavs has a lot to lose if they keep fighting and win.

  6. Let's see if the Mavs double down on the Kyrie mistake by signing him to a long term deal at top dollar. If they were smart they'd use the money to get some quality role players to surround Luka with. This draft is supposed to be stacked so they should be able to land a quality rookie ASAP.

  7. Terrible owner, terrible front office, terrible coach and a superstar player who doesn’t play defense.. What could possibly go wrong?

  8. Imagine when Kyrie gets that 💰 in the off-season , forget about it 🤦‍♂️

  9. I think Mavs just need a defensive big men that's why Mavs should get Rudy Gobert in off season since KAT and Rudy Gobert experiment are failure

  10. The Mavs are on ESPN as much as the Cowboys are recently. Mavs have never received this much national coverage since losing to Golden State in 2007. I remember most of the coverage in the 2011 playoffs going to the teams the Mavs destroyed on their way to the championship!!!

  11. Lol, Luka should ask to be traded to OKC. Sam Presti will surely find players suitable alongside him.

  12. This is disgrace for sport and nba. This is nothing!!! If nba was sport, bucks would eat grizzlies and grizzlies should play the last game for second spot and home advantage. Dallas should be punished for obvious tanking. Idiotism erste klasse.

  13. Not sure what people are upset about. The Mavs just gave themselves a 3% chance at Wembanyama and a 14% chance at a top four pick. They'd be lucky to make it through the play in tournament and they have zero chance of making it past the second round. I like the move.

  14. Dallas needs to fire Kidd right away. That man is incompetent. He's just stubborn about defence. No schemes, no system, no roles. NOTHING. Just stubborn talking about defence. You have to do something too!
