Kyrie declined to do an exit interview with the team, while Luka Dončić denied reports he’d request a trade and that he is happy in Dallas.

  1. Lukas got to get in the gym seriously or he won't be what everyone thinks he is. He doesn't have to be a great defender but not many greats don't try on D like Luka does.

  2. Nick deriding Kyrie for not participating in the so called "soap opera" might be his worst take ever. Like one of the worst takes I've ever heard

  3. What if, just what if. Trade Luka to the Knicks for RJ Barret and picks? Brunson played well with Luka and the Mavs front office doesn't know what to do.

  4. I love how Nick cites the Bill Simmons podcast every day it comes out, because I also listen to it that morning.

  5. I love Luka, Kyrie, and the Mavs and was behind them till the end (when they quit).. but commentators are letting the Mavs tanking (losing on purpose to steal draft picks they wouldn't otherwise get) off easy saying it was incentives. Maybe we should let Lance Armstrong have his championships back, and Ben Johnson have his gold medal back. After all, they were just gaming the system to increase their odds of winning. And it's OK because other athletes do it too?

  6. Imagine media personalities getting mad a player won't give them the time of day. He doesn't have to do anything. So dumb.

  7. Lol.. according to Nick.. the reason ppl watch the league is for interviews.. thas y ppl watch Kyrie. Otherwise.. bad business 😂😂😂💀💀💀

  8. Kyrie is so soft, skipping out on an interview because you can’t face the consequences, you wanted out of Brooklyn, you forced your way out, you were talking as soon as KD got out, now KD, Nets, Cavs, Celtics all still playing and you in Cancun,

  9. How are they not showing replays of Nick Wright picking Mavs to win it all and giving him a hard time for such a clown take?

  10. shocker nick crying cause a player didnt bow down to the media and a team that quit on the season lololol

  11. I’m kinda with wildes on this one. The mavs quit and you want me (Kyrie) to go up there and explain it?

  12. another of people killed LeBron for leaving Cleveland the first even though the media knew a the personal issues he had in that organization. He would have stayed if it was all about getting players.

  13. Kyrie made a mistake, Chris, by not going to the press conference? Kyrie has never, eeeeeeever made a mistake. The Mavericks need to let this child go and find the ends of the earth. But don't ever, ever, ever-ever-ever-ever let him back in the building.
