This man is the face of the fandom, I do not care
The amount of cooking done was immense… they fired up the grill… they reached deep into the spice cabinet… there was truly a meal prepared…
I think if you look at what Nico has done with what he started with since becoming Mavs GM it's incredible. The dude could be a draft genius. If you look at the Value of the team now compared to when Jalen Brunson first walked, it's kind of insane what he has been able to do. Luka is still only 24, there is time to get this right.
My guy is tatted the hell up damn 😂
Nico really did an incredible job. They basically traded Bertans for Richaun Holmes and a first round pick lol. The Mavs got 2 young defenders with incredible potential and a veteran big. I’m not sure how good Holmes will be for us, if he’s at least decent, I wouldn’t mind starting him and then have Lively come off the bench to get him developed.
Mavs did really well yesterday mark cuban was on scilocyben seeing shit 😂
I liked the Warriors pick, this guy with the polish name, very savy, reminds me of Brunson.
I think as long as the front office are able to acquire solid, talented players and Luka sees with his own eyes their able to contend for a chip year after year, he’ll stay.
"Young Pieces" are overrated in the NBA, but "Rookie Contracts" are not, and we got TWO of those now (plus only paying Green & Hardy a combined 10m for next season).
Things are looking up again 😎
A+ mavericks grade
yea I hate the cowboys too, infuriating team to be a fan of (im not anymore fuck them)
nico watched your offseason video slightly and took inspiration. Thank god for being the hero of the mavs fanbase
BERTANS Contract – 33m for next 2 seasons
HOLMES Contract – 25m for next 2 seasons
The history of Mavs front office moves makes fans pessimistic. We're still reeling from the Brunson debacle. It's gonna take some time to get over it. I'll believe they've turned the corner when Powell isn't the starting center any longer. Nothing personal against Powell he seems like a great guy but he's just not that good.
Nico's had two great drafts in a row. Last year he turned #24, two 2nds, and four benchwarmers into CWood and Hardy. Wood didn't pan out of course but it was a good low-risk, high-reward move and we ended up with our preferred draftee anyways.
2023 comes around and he turns #10 and Bertans into two great prospects (one of them being our preferred draftee, yet again) and Holmes, another low-risk high-reward player. A whole new frontcourt overnight in exchange for one of the worst contracts in the league.
It's good to have a GM who respects the draft and recognizes the value of rookie-scale contracts. We have an actual, legitimate young core now and DEPTH. If we get a Bruce Brown/Grant Williams type player with the MLE, this offseason will have been a total success.
Holmes was the starting centre for the kings until they signed Domantas. He played only 1 game over 20 minutes last year and had 16/11. If he is not traded he will be in the rotation and play 20+ minutes. Plus guess what, he is the best centre we have had in the team for a long long time.
Hi slightly biased
Can these players be traded? I'm not sure how it works, if you're committed to the draft picks or they need to be traded before picked
fantasy league fan who likes to GM
hhahhaha.. dude wait until season how jkidd utitlize just because you are watching highlights
it does mean it will be good for dallas
delusional fan
it depends on how jkidd utilize the rookie. and the rookie adapt to dallas culture
A+ … i really needed this draft to restore my faith in this franchise. im most excited about prosper who we got for free just for taking on Holmes who i think will be better than powell. Blessings! cant wait for free agency to start.
I still can’t believe our Mavs pulled that off. What a night
Finally something to cheer about!!! Plus, I'll never switch on my Cowboys. Win, lose, or tie, I'm a Dallas sports fan til I die.
I’m calling him OMP (olivier maxence prosper)
Slightly you're 1 of the gods of this Mavs podcast Sht
SB u make being Mavs fan so fun
I was talking mad shit about Nico thinking he’s gonna cost us Luka but he’s cooking now, I was wrong
I'm stoked about our draft. Definitely a big W
Mavs front office really killed it.
“Do you know how crazy that shit sounds?” 😂🤣😂🤣fr
OK, I get it, it wasn't a massive failure.
Lively was clearly, clearly the worst among the top 20 picks, and it might be 6 or even 7 years before he's better than Ben Simmons offensively.
OMax is another project who clearly is not ready for pro sports.
Losing Bertans, who is a very capable regular season guy and not holding out til the trade deadline was a bad idea, bad bad.
Holmes is not exactly washed up, but he is closer to McGee levels of usefulness than he is to Hardy.
So instead of a 10th pick/or trade that nets us a solid win-now player who meshes w Luka and Kyrie, we got nobody who will be impactful, and we can't package THJ and Bertans anymore.
And yes, Capela for Atlanta's offer was superior to what we wound up with.
I'll repeat, it (last night's moves) wasn't a complete fuck-up, but it does nothing to get us closer to Denver-levels of competency.
C-
This was an amazing job. I like both these guys. But even if someone doesn't i can't see how you don't appreciate what they did. We only had one top 10 pick. And we got two top 20 guys and added a serviceable big who we can flip too.
Why are everybody happy that we got omax (who will be in the gleauge all year) for another horrible contract and one of the worst centers im the nba right now
Great solid draft. Lively being mentored up by Chandler will be great for his development. Omax will be really solid for the defence. DFS but with a higher motor and bounce. Fans being negative even before summer league sounds pretty silly.
This pick made possible by some clever late season tanking
😂😂😂😂
No match in sotto
Last time Holmes started, he averaged 14/8. Good rim protector. He starts instead of Powell. If we can grab Grant Williams to rotate with Maxi. We are looking good
The Mavs might be good enough to make the play in this year 😂
Finally some good Mavs news!
Mavs did good if they were trying to get younger. However, younger does not mean better.
Mavs still need to get better.
If all Dallas did was move Bertrans and take the 12 pick, I would've been ecstatic. But then they turned around and got a second FRP as a result of moving Bertrans. Both picks directly addressed needs, and left the team in a better position going into free agency. I'm not saying the Mavs went from a fringe playoff team to championship contender… but they certainly went from uncertain about how they were going to put a competitive team on the floor in 2023-24, to now having a pretty solid young team. You need drafts like this if you have any hope of building a perennial contender.
We can only know if it was a good draft after 2 years so lets wait
Your videos have been so good recently
