Luka Doncic OWNS The Suns + Dallas Mavericks Trading For Kelly Olynyk? | Mavs News & Rumors

D da where’s my milk dad da oh that’s Devin Booker after he got absolutely bodied by his father AKA daddy Luca once again Devin Booker Luca’s least favorite child shout out to uh Gabriella the much preferred child in the doich family uh all jokes aside Coupe welcome into

Mavericks today how about a little 50 piece chicken tender nuggets whatever you want to call it on Christmas day Merry Christmas what an absolute dominant performance from Luca donic last night it you knew he was going to go off because he just loves the big moment and there’s no bigger moment in

The regular season than Christmas Day the guy just went absolutely nuclear 50 points 15 assists the the crazy thing is he got 50 points and they double teamed him on every play the map said sent a screen and they they would double team him on the screen every single time and

He’d either beat the double team or he’d find the open guy for for uh for an open bucket and that resulted in the 15 assists as well the only thing missing was the the only six rebounds could have got the 50 point triple double but dude it was just another vintage Luca just

The guy’s the best player in the NBA and I don’t care what anyone says yeah I mean look you can debate joic obviously he’s got a strong case you know Giannis has a good case but the guy is just unbelievable night in and night out for me he is the

Front runner for MVP this year and look I don’t think it’s a coincidence that a guy like Derek Jones Jr and Dante exom are having the resurgences they are playing next to LC he just instills confidence in teammates because he gets some good looks now I will say this for

Derek Jones he’s not just taking advantage of open looks he’s like he’s taking dudes off the dribble he’s never done this before 23 again last night we were talking about that before the show it’s like where where did this come from he has never been this player before in

His career I’m not going to lie I didn’t even know he could triple Derrick Jones is making himself quite a lot of money I don’t even know if the Mavericks will be able to resign him given what he’s going to make on the open market this year uh given the

Season he’s had he started out really cold he started out one of six from three and then he really turned it on late third two that was nice late in the third and the fourth uh there can’t say more good things about him man I mean he

Is has made this team go and Jason kid kind of mentioned something I thought was interesting in his pregame press conference yesterday he goes he said even when the Mavs are fully healthy with Kyrie Derrick Jones and Dante xam are staying in the starting lineup yeah

And we can talk about that a little bit more we’re going to have a grant Williams discussion because he’s going to the bench and he already has Tim Hardway got last night um now I will say Grant Williams did hit a big kind of just turnaround 125 footer late in the

Shot clock last night which was a big bucket because uh in the third quarter the Suns retook the lead they were going back and forth in The Fourth Kind so give him credit for that but he just has not been playing great recently but I’m kind of okay with this because maybe

That’ll take the pressure off a little bit and a hypothetical Tim Hardway Grant Williams bench Duo I think could be pretty damn good Coupe so hopefully he can figure it out he hasn’t been playing great recently I also don’t love that they’re trying to like play a lot of

Small ball five with him like you’re asking him to be more than what he is like he’s a 34 guy like let him play in that role um and I get that they don’t trust Dwight pal and Bashan Holdens to play Heavy minutes I think Dwight pal

Played 10 10 or so minutes last night on the back end of of some quarters but Grant Williams is not a five you know and the Suns obviously ran a lineup out there where they had like U Josh aogi or KD playing the five at some point so

They kind of just matched him up but yeah it’s it’s not Grant Williams strong suit to play that even small ball five he’s a four he’s probably really a three but he can play the four as well he’s just struggling for confidence on the offensive end and I think that’ll come

When he gets his role reduced playing less minutes and he’s able to really contribute in the in the uh minutes that he plays yeah I’m not going to panic I mean he came out of the gates on a heater he’s just in a bit of a cold

Stretch right now and luckily guys like exom and DK Jones have been so good it’s been able to kind of cover up for the fact that Williams hasn’t been great very nice to get Derrik Lively back last night Coupe I mean he’s just he’s he’s a

Really damn good player man like I I’m comfortable with him as this team starting center even in a playoff situation he makes the team go 20 and 10 you know Luca found him on a couple of those passes you were talking about earlier where you’d get double team

There was one late in the game that kind of iced the game where you thought he was going to swing it for an open three and he looked that way and he kind of fired a no looker in the paint and Lively slammed it home he also cleaned

Up a Miss Derek Jones uh layup waight in the game for a put back slam I mean he just knows his role he knows exactly who he is the Tyson Chandler comp has I think played out and then some I think he’s going to have more ability overall

Throughout the course of his career he’s he’s been fantastic you can argue whether it’s him or Kyrie who the second most important player is on this team it there there is a debate to be had there I mean I believe he also leads the NBA in field goal percentage I’m just

Looking at this 8 for9 last night he’s like 74 75% the year if Chad holgren didn’t exist man he’d be rookie of the year I think he should be he I think he should be Team all rookie but he won’t be considering how they vote with the

Bigs and all that he’s been he’s been absolutely awesome for the Ms and has been a revelation yeah at minimum he’s what third or fourth best rookie got hren wanyama haime hakz and dive I mean those are probably the top four right now he’s been awesome man he’s been Fant

I will say getting back to the Grant Williams trying to play him at five some even when Lively plays it’s still is obvious you need another Center like you need someone who can play 15 to 20 minutes we’re talk about another Center here in a couple minutes but I just I

Did want to hit on this the Suns always have a guy whether it’s Damen Lee whether it’s Grayson Allen whether it’s chimzi metu chimzi metu who just destroy the Mavericks this I don’t know this off the top this has to be Grayson Allen’s career high game right I mean it’s up

It’s up there he had 19 points in the third quarter and singlehandedly sparked the sun’s comeback I mean he was carrying KD in book last night he really was him and by the way him side note him and Luca tying the Christmas Day record with eight three-pointers made each uh

Both had chances to to get nine plus Grayson Allen pissed me off ever since he played at Duke see that guy piss tzi metu definitely had a career I literally messaged Koopa I was like I don’t know who this is and he’s dominating the maps

Yeah out of USC he’s been in the league for I would say handful years 4ish years now yeah he you know what 23 of 19 congratulations to metsu good Christmas I mean seriously you’re not lying though they combined for 55 Booker KD combined for 36 yeah it was the the Suns always

Find a guy who torches the Ms and this year just so happen to be these two guys well speaking of torching how about Luca donic getting to 10,000 points the fastest player since Michael Jordan to do so fastest active player to do so which that includes some guy named

LeBron James 10 games faster than LeBron James the guy just keeps racking up the accolades man yeah I mean look if he has a healthy career I mean and and he wants to play into his mid late 30s I mean he’s going to be the next 30,000 point

Score like he he’s just he’s going to get is it too is it too early to call a Sure Fire Hall of Famer if he retired tomorrow is he a Hall of Famer probably not but he he’d be in the discuss I’ll put put it this way by the time he’s 30

He’s for sure if not 28 I mean he’s the guy is unbelievable we are so spoiled that we got to go from Dirk to Luca I think about it all the time it’s just absolutely incredible look I think he’s the MVP of the league but let us know

What you guys think will LCA win 24 NBA MVP type y for yes Type n for no I think he’s the front runner right now you still have guys like embiid and joic who are up there but I I think it’s this guy well and what’s so impressive about Luca

This year is he came out the gates in better shape it didn’t take sometimes I I’ve compared him to like Peak Zeke in the past where like Zeke it would take him a month to like kind of shed that offseason fat and then he would just start cooking for the Cowboys it was

Kind of the same for Luke it would take him 12 to 15 games well this year he was ready from day one playing through some some you know bruise I mean he’s got the tape every night on the shoulder like he’s clearly got some Nicks and bruis is

Going but it is what it is and I thought the the broadcast made an interesting point last night Coupe that Jason kid talked to him and we’ve seen it on display they’re playing faster this year and I think that’s leading to him taking less physical damage because when you

Not get hit as much in the half court because their offense last year was literally ISO Luca let him go to the basket and he would get hacked every every single play yeah absolutely I think that’s Tak Les body blows this year big part of the map success so far

This year has been the uh to B up the pace let us know yes or no on luuka win an MVP and listen take the more than on Luca just about every night it was 36 and a half last night that was covered through three quarters uh priz picks.com

Kelly o Lin a name we haven’t talked about a ton recently uh he could fit the bill and especially for a Utah team that’s kind of regressed this year after being a somewhat surprising 500ish team last year yeah they don’t seem to be a factor in the Western Conference and

There’s some talk that Lori marinin may even be available at the deadline so it seems that they’re open for business and Mark Stein had a report that Kelly oen could be one of the most likely guys to be traded and here’s what he said he said oenux is playing this season on an

Expiring $12.2 million deal which has helped thrust him into the upper reaches of the list of players most likely to be traded this season what a sentence that is he scored 27 points in 35 minutes for the Jazz as a starter in Utah’s recent win in Detroit’s recent win in Detroit without

Several regulars so he’s a guy at Harrison that the maps could be looking at and I think could be affordable as well yeah I mean we were kind of joking in the some of us in the office for that jazz Detroit game it’s like if the if

The Pistons in tonight they may never win again because Utah had a bunch of guys out well nothing like Kelly o Lena hitting you with 27 I don’t know when quick side not I don’t know when that win’s coming for the Pistons they’re off I don’t know it’s unbelievable but as

Far as Kelly oen goes I’ve always liked his offensive game because he can stretch to the three-point line he’s a good screen Setter he can pop he can roll um he’s not he’s not going to protect the rim for you but he’s at least a playable backup center

Is does he check these two boxes is he better than ran Holmes yes is he better than Dwight pal yes there you go and what he can do too is in certain situations you could play him next to Derrik Lively you could play him at the

Four play the four as he can stretch to the three-point line so it’s an intriguing one C cooked up a trade idea ran in a second that the salary matches will the Jazz receive a better offer than that maybe but if I’m the Mavs this is definitely my open offer yeah I’m not

Giving up a first um you know maybe would I would I throw in I don’t even know what I’d throw in here that like I Jaden Hardy I wasna say hasn’t done much but I don’t think I’m moving him for o Len I don’t think so either yeah the the

Asset to give up in this trade are very limited that’s why I would say if they want a second round pick you throw them ran Holmes to match the salary as well this is about the limit that I would go for maybe I throw in that second second

Maybe but yeah I mean it’s it would probably be a rental situation like Kelly O’s not a guy you’re expiring deal you’re not going to bring him back rashan Holmes actually I believe is on the books for next year that’s where I wonder if I’m Utah like is one second

Round pick worth having homes for an extra 18 months yeah if they’re going to stink though maybe they think it is for the extra second round pick I don’t know but this is kind of what I would do if I was the GM not saying the uh Jazz would

Accept this trade but this would be my offer too then what do you guys think should the Mavs trade for Kelly Lin type t for trade or you can type P for pass I would like it I do think there’s a lot of backup bigs out there uh to explore

And it’ll be interesting to see what type of backup big that is I think I would preferably like a guy who gives you a little bit more defense but trade deadline about 10 weeks away the maps will trade for a big right I you got to think so I mean unless something

Unforeseen emerges with one of these players but like is Dwight pal randomly going to be a guy that is an average Defender is ran Holmes going to rewind the clock to 2020 I I just I don’t see it and I don’t think anybody else on

This roster is going to be able to fill that void so you’re going to have to go do something I will say this I don’t think I I don’t think you have to rush it necessarily like a few weeks ago I was like man you they got to do it now

Yeah I’m I’m with you I think D live is healthy I think you can get through the next couple of months but if you’re serious about winning at least one playoff series got to go find something you got to get someone that can give 15 to 20 minutes a night because you’re

Just not going to have it with what you currently yeah I think I think the timeline has shifted a little bit to where they can afford to wait a little bit especially if Lively is healthy and he can play 36 minutes a night which is

A lot to ask of a big by the way but he’s young so that that’s okay he’s Jeffrey cooperstein I am Harrison grah by the way merry Christmas happy holidays hopefully you guys uh spin it with some loved ones hopefully you watch some late night Mavs like cop and I did

We were texting last night like we did not stay up this late to lose luckily they did not shout out to Daddy Luca uh as he gets it done again go Mavs
