Dallas Mavericks Trade Rumors On Dereck Lively & O-Max Prosper + Shaq Says SGA Is Better Than Luka?



Dallas Mavericks Trade Rumors On Dereck Lively & O-Max Prosper + Shaq Says SGA Is Better Than Luka?

Welcome into Mavericks today I am Jeffrey coery wanted to come at you guys with a little mailbag sent out a community post ask you guys to put in your best Mavericks questions and I’m answering them on today’s show so without further Ado let’s Jump Right In this one coming in from Daniel Thompson

He said I saw rumors about being about teams being interested in Derek Lively could you see the maps trading him in a package at the deadline absolutely not Derek Lively will be on this team for the foreseeable future unless you’re getting someone that’s an absolute NBA superstar like I’m not I they’re

Obviously not going to trade for Giannis but that’s the only type of deal that Derrik Lively would be involved in he’s been an absolute godsend for the Dallas Mavericks this season without him I’m not sure where the Mavericks would be uh whenever Lively doesn’t play the Mavericks are absolutely lost on the

Defensive end and they get severely outrebounded they get outrebounded with him but he mitigates that impact so well here are his stats so far in his rookie season in the NBA averaging almost nine points almost eight boards 73.5% from the field as of last night that led the

NBA in field goal percentage for qualified people so I believe he’s still that and almost a block and a half a game as well drik Lively has been absolutely Sensational and you can just tell like right when he leaves the game and right when Dwight Powell or whoever

Else comes in whether it’s Maxi kleo whether it’s Mar Morris uh Derrik Lively has been an absolute stud for this team and you can just tell the impact that he makes on this team when he’s in the game versus when he’s out of the game I’ve absolutely loved what I’ve seen from

Lively this season I think even Jason kid would admit that he didn’t expect this so far from Derek Lively I mean he this is a guy that averaged Five Points and I think less than five rebounds at Duke and he’s coming in taking the NBA

By storm I think he’s been one of the best five rookies this season however I’m not sure he makes all NBA because you have guys like Chad Holmes Gren Victor wanyama who are in the front court that are going to be uh taking up those spots but I really love what I’ve

Seen from Derrik lley so far and he’s been great for this Mavs team he’s also been a perfect pick and roll partner for Luca donic when that when those guys run the pick and roll you get Lively going to the rim Luca has so many options

Whether he wants to kick out take it himself he can throw up the alleyoop to Lively it’s been an awesome combination man and I’ve absolutely loved what I’ve seen from the rookie big man So Far So Great Derek Lively’s rookie season so

Far A B C D or F I think it would be you’d be hard pressed to find anything other than an a now you could say the injuries you know bro that down a little bit maybe give him a B+ but for me it’s certainly an a as far as Derrik Lively

Goes I think he’s been fantastic so let me know down in the comments this will be the pin comment by the way on today’s show so when you get hit with YouTube ad break go on down get your comments in ABC D or F this one coming in from Sean Spence CP

Did you see Shaq say he would rather have sgaa than Luca oh brother yes I did and I tweeted it out as well go give me a follow on Twitter at jeor coup 27 I did see this what are we doing here Shaq I think he’s just trying to be a

Contrarian here obviously Luca is the better player we can we’ll take a look at the stats comparing the two but it this is always an argument it’s like is this player better than Luca is that player better than Luca the answer is frankly no they’re just not here are

Their stats from this season l averaging 33.6 points 8.3 rebounds 9.2 assists 48.2% from the field almost 38% from three which is a career high number for him and not to say shay gild just Alexander isn’t a great player 31 points per game uh 5.7 boards 6.3 assists a

Great 55.2% from the field only 32.4% for four I think that’s what separates them on the offensive end especially Shay is much more of a of a driver he’s not a great three-point shooter with Luca you have to respect all aspects of his game and I like I said I just think

Shaq really wanted to be a contrarian on here they did it with Shay they did it with Trey young they did it with John marant they’re doing it with the next guy everyone wants to be compared to Luca and you just can’t compare to him

He is the best guard in the league you could say he’s up there with Steph Curry obviously Steph Curry’s great better all time whatever but right now I think Luca is the best point guard in the NBA and I don’t think it’s particularly close you guys let me know though who is the

Better player is it Luca donic or is it Shay gilis Alexander type 77 if you think it’s our guy Luca and type two if you think it’s Shay I don’t even think it’s really a contest man I mean I think Luca is one of the top three players in

The league right now and if you ask me it’s Luca all freaking day we’ll get to the rest of the mailbag in just a moment but first I wanted to give a shout out to today’s sponsor prize pics go to prize picks play daily fantasy sports it

Thurman shout out to my guy Tristan why don’t we see more omx and would he be involved in any trade the Mavericks make I don’t think omx I think the Mavs would be very hesitant uh to put omx in any trade that they make omx is a very

Valuable part of this core going forward he’s spending time in the G league right now honing his crap and I think once the Mavs feel he’s ready he’s going to come into this rotation he’s going to make an impact I really love what I’m seeing from omx Prosper right now and I think

He’s going to be a guy that the Mavericks rely on heavily going forward he’s a guy that has Elite NBA length and athleticism and once he figures out how to play some actual basketball omx is going to be a force to be reckoned with I think the Mavs made a great pick in

That draft and they ended up trading down uh to get omx as well so I really love what they’ve uh what they’ve got in Derrik Lively and in omx so I I don’t think omx will be involved in any trade unless it’s for an absolutely Mercurial

Town be sure to subscribe to the channel youtube.com/ maverick TV might be going live for the NBA trade deadline not sure yet but if if you guys subscribe give us some more subs maybe we will so our boss has told us we have to get to 26,000

Subs before we get to the NBA trade deadline and if we do we’ll be going live on the channel so stay tuned lock it in we’ll keep you up to date with all the latest Maverick news and rumors leading up to the 2024 NBA trade deadline which is almost what 2 and a

Half weeks away now it’s January 19th at time of filming trade deadline February 8th so we’re getting close man we’ll see what the Mavericks end up doing this one from Trent shout out Trent would you give up a first round pick in a package for Caruso or

Drummond I really like that deal for the Mavericks Caruso gives you the defender that you need the wing Defender who can guard twos and threes can even guard undersiz fours he gives you the tenacity he gives you the leadership in that locker room I really like kuso and

Obviously we know about Andre Drummond the Mavs tried to get Andre Drummond this past offseason they thought they were going to get him then all of a sudden Drummond opts in do his deal and the Mavericks don’t get him first round pick for him though I’d consider it I honestly would

Consider it if it was protected I think I would much rather do that but I would definitely consider consider a first round pick for Caruso and Drummond I think the Bulls are going to be very active at the deadline they’re desperately wanting to get off that Zack LaVine contract they I think they’re

Going to try to do something with Andre germond so we’ll stay tuned for that but if if the Mavericks are dealing with the bulls Caruso and German would be the two guys that I’d really want obviously Demar dzen Off the Bench would be great uh I have no interest in Zack LaVine he

This is here’s a stat for you Zack LaVine has the lowest winning percentage of any basketball player in the NBA right now with minimum 500 games played I don’t want want that guy on my basketball team sue me if you think I’m wrong I just I don’t think that guy can

Help you win whatsoever but kuso and Drummond I would definitely consider giving up a first for that although I would like to find a better deal here’s the last one coming in from Eden Wayne shout out to Eden can the Mavericks sign bismack bibo I mean he’s a better he’s

Better than pal as a Defender and a rebounder as I can see absolutely I think the Maverick should sign bismack biombo when he got released I was all over that I why not sign this guy he is better than pal he is better than ran Holmes I think he would provide the Mavs

Much needed rebounding in defense he would only have to play 10 to 15 minutes a night and he’s a guy that the Mavs could get on the cheap obviously because he is now a free agent so I I would love bismack on this team and I think he

Serve a great purpose for the Mavericks because we all know that they’re lacking in that backup big spot we talked about a guy like Andre Drummond earlier bismack would be a guy you could get without giving up any assets whatsoever I’m very interested to see I bet bismack

Waits until after the trade deadline to sign with the team but if if the Mavericks don’t have interest in bismack bbo they’re just not doing their jobs that’ll be it for today’s show thank you so much for joining me on today’s show be sure to go ahead and hit

That thumbs up icon if you want more Mavericks videos we’ll be back next week with more content so stay tuned we’ll see you guys Soon Oh

With the 2024 NBA trade deadline creeping up, Mavericks trade rumors are hotter than ever. Michael Scotto of Hoopshype said the latest NBA trade rumors surrounding the Mavs focus on Dereck Lively, who NBA teams have asked Mavs GM Nico Harrison about in potential trade packages. However, the Mavs have shut down those rumors, and Lively will not be moved ahead of the deadline. Andre Drummond and Alex Caruso have been mentioned in Mavs trade rumors previously, but would they trade a future NBA Draft pick to get those guys in Dallas? All of these questions are answered on today’s show!

  1. We just need to give Omax time!!! Giannis didn't pop out of the gates as a superstar! In a year or two he'll look very very good.

  2. Green was ahead of Omax at this stage and he played for a coach that doesn't play rookies.
    I'm not saying he won't be great, just that some were calling him a bust at this same time (Though a lot of that had to do with Cubes and his drunk gambling buddy drafting him over better players)

  3. Shai deserves to be starting (instead of Steph) in all star besides Luka this year but no, he isn't better than Luka.

  4. Bismack while not great, showed he was better than what we had(prior to lively) just last year. Why they didn't get him or Saric and decided to keep Morris is another one of those unsolved mysteries.

  5. 77 is by far the better player. This is not even close. The fact that SGA is ahead for MVP rankings is criminal.

  6. Bro stats do not matter he moves the ball and plays with a flow that suites the team everyone eats while he’s doin his thing. Not to mention there first in the west

  7. "Winning percentage" is a crap statistic to judge an individual player on…..just like +/- is a crap statistic. Nerd stats

  8. Without dlive mavs look like the same team as last year im glad mavs was able to draft him mavs got this pick right

  9. O max has good defensive upside, not so sure about the other side of the floor. If you get Vanderbilt, Okoge, type of player i would consider it a win, problem is he does not fit the timeline for the mavs

  10. Luka is my favorite player in the NBA and I'm a MFFl, but Luka is not top 3 if I'm being objective. He's no.4 on my list, I would objectively take Giannis, Joel Embidd, and Jokic over Luka
