The Dallas Mavericks Need To Make A Trade RIGHT NOW

The Dallas Mavericks Need To Make A Trade RIGHT NOW

Three words on your screen change is needed welcome to Mavericks today it is Harrison Graham and Jeffrey cooperstein and Coupe obviously a lot of trade rumors a lot of chatter the last couple of weeks leading up to the deadline and you know that’s kind of going to be a

Part of this show but this team right now CP I I think we got to take an episode today to just talk through some of these issues they’re just not playing good ball right now yeah we love all the trade rumors and we love about what the

Mavs can do but we had to take a moment and take a look at what they are doing right now and last night was just not a good showing on all fronts by the Dallas Mavericks it was really embarrassing they played a first 15 to 18 minutes

That were really good and after that they got smoked and Phoenix ran them out of the gym so just a few takeaways that I had from last night as well um number one it starts with this Luca needs need to be mentally tougher man there’s a lot

Of talk about how he got that fan thrown out or tossed out of his seat from the game and he was heckling LCA all game and whatnot that’s just part of it I think Luca also needs to be mentally tougher when it comes to the officiating

He lets the officiating get to him and that impacts his play especially on the defensive end where he when he’s engaged is a good Defender but right now he’s just not there on that side of the ball and I think that a combination of the refs a combination of the heckling and a

Combination of the team not playing well is just doing him no good yeah and look um I we were talking about this off camera and I said I actually thought the first you know 30 games or so Luca had turned a corner a little bit now he’s

Always going to be a guy like most Superstars are that about calls here and there but I thought this year he had done a better job of picking his spots on when to do that but you’re absolutely right when you responded and said H last few weeks he’s reverted back

To old habits and I think the biggest reason why is well what’s been happening the last few weeks they’re losing basketball games like they’re not playing good right now so he’s got to step up and be the leader and just find a way to grind through the stretch every

Good team goes through a bad stretch the question is is this going to be a team that is actually a good team and gets back on track or are they going to let this stretch derail their season Luca’s got to be the guy that stops the

Bleeding yeah and I think also it it also has to do with Kyrie being out as well I think Luca feels more pressure to deliver because he’s the only guy on offense who can really score at a consistent level and when teams know that they’re going to key on him like

They did in starting in the middle of the second quarter Fenix put Josh aogi on him and he got up into Luca for a lack of a better term and Luca never really recovered from that throughout the game so he’s got to find a way to respond better to adversity and that’s

Kind of my main takeway from last night is we need Luca to be better are you guys concerned about Luca as a leader type y for yes type in for no not over concerned I I’d say I’m mildly concerned again you got to find a way to navigate

These tough stretches and last night it just seemed to reach kind of a boiling point for this team so let us know what you guys think why for yes or in for no we got to talk Jason kid coup this was a big talking point on Mavs Twitter last

Night there are a lot of memes going around Jason kid after the opposing team goes AR the 260 yeah to two run and he’s just there’s just no emotion and look like you can’t be someone you’re not but you can’t do nothing either if that

Makes sense like he’s got to find a way to leave an imprint on a game when things aren’t going well yeah and he hasn’t got a technical all season long and you know what most of the time you would say that’s a good thing but on a

On a game like last night where your team has completely lost its Marbles and just doesn’t know what they’re doing out there it’s good for a coach to go yell at a ref and go get a technical foul just show the show the team that you’re still there you still care about that

Game and you still have the passion and the fire to go compete whether it’s at a ref or at another player at another coach you want to see some sort of fire I know Jason kid’s a very mild mannered guy but at some point you have to give

The team a spark if they need it that’s something I actually used to really like about Rook Carlile is either in games that had completely gotten away from him and he knew you weren’t coming back or just in spots to defend a player he would kind of intentionally go get a

Techical foul and I I think it does couple things I think one it in a game that’s lost it can give you a b a jolt of energy heading into the next game or two it kind of just shows your players like hey man like yeah that was

You don’t need to say anything though I will be the one who says it cuz I’m the head coach and I I agree I think at times it it’s worth you know the other team getting a possession or a free throw or whatever it is because you just

You got to just send that kind of that you’re there for your guys basically I mean I I look I know I’m a big Jason kid Defender I love a lot of the things he does with this team but that is one of my main criticisms of him is he doesn’t

Show enough emotion whereas sometimes a head coach just needs to plain and simple yeah I completely agree make sure you subscribe to Mavericks today we are your One-Stop shop for Mavericks coverage leading up to the NBA trade today two weeks from today and uh uh changes needed is the uh the theme of

The show so obviously making a trade would certainly be a change and uh we definitely uh agree that needs to happen so hit that sub button we’ll cover everything between now and then number three uh stop just settling for jump shots especially when you’re in this funk right now where you’re not making

That many they they refuse to go to the hole when when things get tough and they they’re a jump shooting team and I get that but at some point you have to go to the rim man like when Luca gets double team he gets very impatient and

Frustrated and he just starts jacking up threes and that’s not his game his game is he’s able to go to the hole drive and kick yes he’s also is a decent three-point shooter but you don’t want him shooting at crazy volumes like he has been over the last week or so and

When when they when the jump shots aren’t falling the offense looks really bad like in that third quarter last night yeah and um look maybe this is part of the construction of the roster and especially when Kyrie’s been out because Kyrie is a guy that you can just

Give the ball to and get out of the way and he’s going to get into the paint with floater game going and all that stuff so I definitely think that plays a role but uh I’m with you like if you’re you know I’d have to go look at numbers I feel

Like this team’s probably shooting at about 30% from three the last handful of games or so like you’ve got to just try to find a way to get easier shots you got you got to do something different when it’s not working and whether that’s going to the whole whether it’s taking

More midrange jumpers whether it’s you know completely changing up the offense and that falls on Jason kid as well where he has to make a adjustments to get this team more easy looks and get them in a rhythm so they but they simply just have to stop settling for jumpers

Especially the ones that Tim Hardway takes I know he’s been very hot lately but when he takes those 19 foot contested jumpers it just boils my blood yeah it’s it’s it’s not good at all what is good as prize picks and making money with prize picks and listen we got

Championships Sunday in the NFL and tons of different uh more or less opportunities to put your money down with to six player entries make some money all weekend long at priz pi.com ATS use the code CLS to get started today couple I like here more than one

And a half field goals made by Justin Tucker you know if he attempts too he’s making them both because he’s Mr Clutch uh and then Travis Kelce listen 75 yards couple touchdowns last week against Buffalo feels like he and Mahomes have kind of recaptured some of that magic

On the record saying you can’t force a move like it’s not just about this year but if you do want to have any chance this year what you currently have isn’t enough especially without Kyrie exactly and that’s kind of the problem Coupe like I I’ll give Kyrie a lot of credit

He’s come in there he’s been a leader something he has not been at points in his career he hasn’t been an off thee Court distraction he deserves credit for all that but the reason I was very hesitant at the time when they traded him is not only does he have offc court

Distractions a lot of the time which again he hasn’t here I full credit but when you have that plus an extensive injury history which that has come to fruition here uh nothing major but like minor injuries for him just continue to pile up he misses two games here misses

Two games there I me we’re going to look up at the end of the year he’s going to have played in like 49 games like it he’s got to be available and you don’t know if he’s going to be so you got to get more fire power in here yeah I and

I’m never a fan of making a move just for the sake of making a move but but I kind of feel like they’re in the same spot last year where that’s what Nico Harrison did with getting Kyrie and I think that might be what he’s going to

Have to do again here two weeks out from the trade deadline I think this team needs a wakeup call and I think they need a shakeup and whether that comes via trade via the buyout Market or whatever I I think something has to be done in order for this roster uh to be

Improved and this rotation to be changed because what what’s happening right now to this team is you can kind of see nid falling apart at the seams and they need to be put back it just happen so fast too cuz like like you said it earlier

Like last night wasn’t all bad I mean they they came out of the gates huming I mean I was very close to texting you and I’m glad I didn’t I was very close to being like uh daddy Luca taking uh down uh Booker and the Suns again but that

Just flipped on its head so quickly at the end of the second quarter and they just didn’t recover that’s a sign of a bit of a soft team at least right now like earlier in the year that that would not have happened but for whatever reason they’ve just hit the skids here

And uh they need some kind of ja up and it’s not just well Kyrie needs to be healthy yeah it’s not that simple they need something else as it’s not that simple and again any move the Mavs make is complicated given what their their status is with the salary cap and

Whatnot so it’s going to be difficult for Nico Harrison to make a move that tan what’s the word I’m looking for that actually impacts this team in a positive way I just hope that move is coming and I hope it’s coming soon yeah no doubt

About it so let us know in the comments name somebody the Maverick should trade for I don’t know how you get it done but I I do think someone like a Kyle kosmo would really help I’m going to go same team but Daniel Gafford I really think

He could help this team and I think you could get him pretty cheap I I just think someone in the front Court someone that can score in that regard because you’re so guard Reliant right now whichs all these jump shots like I know kozma

Is going to take a lot of jumpers but he can get that midi game going he can post up a little bit as well uh rise and shoot over Defender so uh that is someone I would like to bring in here but uh we’ll see what they end up doing

All right Coupe hopefully uh the Mavericks get this thing back on track we of course will be back uh tomorrow with another episode of Mavericks today trade deadline two weeks away so we’ll see how busy Nico cubin and the boys get between now and then he’s Jeffer cooperstein I’m Harrison Graham we’ll

See you next time here on Mavericks Today Oh
