  1. I give Nico a B. Also, while DFS, Dinwiddie and JB were good and you'd rather have them over just Kai ( which is a little skewed because you'd have to add whatever free agent we get with DFS and Dinwiddie contracts off the books this summer to Kai's side) Kai is the bigger draw and would attract quality free agents. You can hype up JB, but remember this is mavericks JB who wouldn't be what he is today playing with Luka running the show.

  2. We should have tanked in March. Now we have to sweat it out for the tenth pick. I like the Kyrie trade if we can switch him out for Deandre ayton. Let’s have guys who are under 25 who can get better. We aren’t a serious contender next year. Time to rebuild now that we’ve lost Brunson, Dodo and Dinwiddie.

  3. Kyrie has played his best basketball. In 2-3 years we will be looking at a diminishing asset. Better to trade him a year early instead of a year late…..which we always do.

  4. They didn’t draft Middleton.
    He was a 2nd round pick by Detroit and was moved for Brandon Jennings. Does anyone on this channel do any research at all? Milwaukee, like Dallas, got lucky and drafted a stud and then built their team with free agents and cheap trades. And then they moved there picks for Holiday.

  5. NICO C, like that he isn’t afraid to shake it up and make power moves. ROI. However with that approach you’ll have swings a misses

  6. when the grizz were set in their playoff spot , mavs knew grizz would sit players against OKC. What do you know OKC won their games. I honestly think the played it out until that point, why beat kings? I mean who tf is Kevin O'Conner? media can say whatever the hell they want i guess.

  7. Players believe in possibilities whereas management looks at probabilities. It was possible for the Mavs to make the playoffs, but the chances were close to 0%. This is why players should not play GM.

  8. What is real reason Donnie was replaced? Nico seems to be Marks yes man and Cuban is turning into Jerry Jones

  9. I give Nico a C. Great that he managed to get another all star to Dallas but I'm still not confident if he has the ability to actually build a competent roster and make those moves around the edges. I really fault Cuban in going out hiring a gm with no experience when you are on the clock with Luka.
