Timeline of How LUKA and the DALLAS MAVERICKS Rebuilt and Became Title Contenders

[Music] the western conference champions are the Dallas Mavericks they’re going to the NBA finals and going to the finals for the first time in 13 seasons andent are the western conference [Music] champions the emotions of Dirk nitzki what he’s always dreamed of hoping to have another chance after the bitter loss in 2006 an unlikely playoff run capped off by Dallas upsetting LeBron James Dwayne Wade and the favor Miami Heat be proud of the guys we fought ultimately we had too many injuries caught up with us too many injuries but we battled hard we battled unbeliev hard to even get to the to the six seed I’m proud of the guys and uh we gave it all we had you know however long my body holds up and it’s still fun and I’m still able to be efficient and and help uh help this franchise win some games I’ll I’ll be around and if if if the time comes I think my my body will tell me and then it’s time to go there’s no chance that Dirk is a top 10 player and he’s one of my I love watching Dirk nitzki but he ain’t top 10 top 15 You could argue I’m going to say you’re going to lose that argument maybe he’s top 20 but maybe he’s just outside the top 20 with the ninth pick in the 2017 NBA draft the Dallas Maverick select Dennis Smith Jr from North Carolina State University I want to fulfill that 2-year contract I saw nothing um this year that was going to stop it so as of now we’ll see uh how the rehab goes in next few weeks and how the anchor responds but obviously I’m going to work towards another season with the fifth pick the Dallas Maverick select Trey Young from the University of Oklahoma with the 33rd pick the Dallas Mavericks select Jaylen Brunson from Villanova University the Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks have agreed in principle to a deal the Hawks will select Luca donic with a third pick they will send him to Dallas Trey young will go from the Dallas Mavericks at 5 to the Atlanta Hawks at 3 the Mavs are interested in Clippers center DeAndre Jordan the same DeAndre Jordan who jilted the Mavs at the free agent alter three years ago it was a tragic comedy that played out an emoji on Twitter a brutal reminder of Mavs free agent failures going to Bo everything so me to be the player I want I need to work hard every day improve everything you can improve everything every day I would like to to make the playoffs I always put for the team I think every rookie wants to win the Rookie of the Year for Thanksgiving indeed got it here is the corner LCA goes in how did he do it how did he do it that is LCA magic the Maverick’s life whole organization changed when they got Luca donic and it changed the way way what Dennis Smith J’s future was going to be in this league and that more than anything is probably why they’re looking to move on to the way theyve handled this has not been [Music] ideal what do you see as the future of you and Luca together if we do play together long term right away we you know we clicked from the beginning you know we’re both European players you know there’s so many things that it’s just like we clicked right away and I think that’s going to translate on the court also uh this is being reported folks from bleacher report reportedly Harrison Barnes mid game is being traded to Sacramento for Justin Jackson and Zack Randol a league MVP and an NBA champion a 7 foot forward from Germany number 41 jerk nitzki down to eight moves on Hammer at home Dallas it’s got the lead doic throws a sled Hammer don’t sleep on Luca it was a landslide those voters showing an understanding of history after donic put together not only the best rookie season of this year but Luca’s rookie campaign is one of the best we’ve ever seen the result Luca gets 98 of 100 first place votes porzingis was a foregone conclusion they commit 5year $158 million having Chris steps is a good thing but you already had him it’s not like that’s something new right like you traded for him last season he was never going anywhere else though Luka donic is 16th overall do you think he’s going to have the 16th best season I think he could possibly have a better season he’s one of those rookies that came in with the the skill set that we haven’t really seen from a rookie so I think the sky is the limit for him to be one of the best players in the world it’s not a Sprint it’s a marathon you know and I know I’m what I’m capable of going forward but of course you know I always have the expectations for myself super high but I also got to be realistic you know I’m coming back after a long long period of time and as I said wasn’t a bad start Penny Smith got the ball back it’s picked up by Brun oh wow lob the porzingis and just lobed the perfect pass up to porzingis for the jam second look same results here’s what Jerry West yes the logo told the Dallas Morning News this weekend about Luca I’ve been around a long time there’s a difference between Allstars and Superstars a superstar is different and that’s what he is he’ll be the best player Dallas has ever had they’re not going to get out of the first round they’re going to lose to the clippers but I still think porzingis is a piece of the future I think health is imperative for him and him and Luka getting on the same page I do not think Luca at this stage of his career can Elevate the Dallas Mavericks but soon it’s coming me I knew my KN was hurting already but that’s when we did the MRI and it showed that there’s a miniscus I played through it in game two and game three he got worse right before the game I just couldn’t get the knee going and it’s super disappointing super frustrating great season I’m proud of our team how how we fight I think we fight till the end have an amazing team it was hard we gave everything you know we play especially hard in the playoffs like I said you know I’m proud of over our guys at the 18th pick in the 2020 NBA draft the Dallas Mavericks select Josh Green from Sydney Australia and the University of Arizona I think Mavs fans are going to be upset that Seth Curry is gone now you get a defensive Wing in Josh Richardson but this feels a huge need for the Dallas Mavericks by getting a defensive Wing in Josh Richardson are luuka in the Mavs title contenders this season yes they are if porzingis is healthy they’re title contenders Luc is an MVP caliber player porzingis is not far behind and then they have Dorian finy Smith and Maxi kba they didn’t have the great offensive efficiency that they had last year I’m not surprised I think the expectations people thought Luca was going to win the MVP they thought those numbers were going to be there and their team was going to continue to grow it’s just been a very slow growth so far this year we don’t have that chemistry yet that we’re looking for we don’t have our roles clear and we’re just kind of out there playing and we’re a talented group but just a rough night for us and I think we got to start realizing who we are realizing our roles each individually got to get it in here’s Luca gets it away it’s g a donic dagger he wh three as he was stumbling he somehow got it to go this kid is going to go down is one of the greatest alltime players he has an imprint completely on the game he has the pulse of the game he has the flow of the game there’s no holes in his offensive game he’s able to get his teammates going as well he’s probably the most ungard player LCA donic Brilliance from the young man respect from the coaches and this series is over the first round is over the home team finally gets a win the Clippers Advance it’s tough here you watch a guy like Luca donic play the way he [Music] played the christs porzingis Luca donic the chemistry is weird uh awkward they need porzingis to either be that second star everybody gets his durability issues they saw how diminished his Mobility was this season he was a defense of liability the Dallas Mavericks say they mutually agreed part ways with general manager Donnie Nelson owner Mark cubin released a statement he wants to thank Donnie for his 24 years of service he was instrumental to bringing a championship to Dallas the Dallas Mavericks have made it official Jason kid is their new head coach according to reports kid replacing Rick Carlile who resigned after a 13 season career with the Mavs kid very familiar with Dallas he had two stints there as a player just for the whole situation throughout the summer of trying to figure out where I was going to play and not one the organization that was talked about whether if I was start come off the bench it was more so just of my style of play and that they wanted me there Luka donic has been the face of the Dallas Mavericks and should be for some time now my name is Luca and I just signed a 5year $27 million extension so Luca will be in the fold for the Dallas Mavericks you’ve obviously heard a lot of noise about Luca donic and the relationship that he has with Chris St for zigas we all heard in the NBA Circle that there was tension between the two but I would have to say that’s fake news uh I think they both want to compete the Mavericks well we know the big one there he continues to be out he’s out again today with these back spasms after Jason kid told us a week ago that he was fine I don’t know what to make of it but it’s been confusing at this point a foul on Lee here Hardway is down just the way he landed that leg was up that left leg was up and put no weight on that left leg Hardway will be helped all the [Music] floor trading christops porzingis to the Washington Wizards porzingis was brought to Dallas but he could team up with Luca donic porzingis just hasn’t really gotten the footing that they thought he would have coming out of the New York Knicks Luca got in shape and now he’s not a great defender but he does know their schemes but what they’ve done defensively they don’t let teams isolate their worst Defenders their team defense has been really good this is the team that maybe could make a run in the west comes all the way out to the logo here’s the switch it’s Luca against Josh Richardson left side of the floor Lucas three is a ring and bution again going to get down luuka magic for the first time since 2011 when the Mavericks won the title they are advancing in the playoffs they hold off the Jazz and take this first round series in [Music] six we’re going to be seeing this photo for a long time the Phoenix Suns are going to be seeing this for a long time this shot will hang on permanent display in the museum of ass kickings I don’t like losing especially I like this I play like terrible if we say on our season we talk about the season I’m really proud of this team man everybody every player nobody had us here I promise we fought to land but you know I’m really proud of this team with the 37th pick in the 2022 NBA draft the Sacramento Kings select Jaden Hardy from the NBA G leagues team ignite I think it’s a good trade for Dallas Christian Wood’s got a lot of talent he can give you 20 and eight he’s got that kind of potential and Luca needs somebody that he can rely upon to give the ball to [Music] offensively Jaylen Brunson intends to sign a four-year deal with the Knicks worth a little over a100 million runson coming off a career year with the Mavs averaged over 16 points and five assists a game uh no expectations always the goal was the same for me for the team we were trying to win the championship you know that’s the only goal we have to be an MVP of this league you know not a lot of people can say it but it’s a long progress hopefully one day I can win it they can’t win he’s got to empower those other guys instead of waiting on him to do everything those guys like let’s see what Luca’s going to do like no man y’all in the NBA too y’all can play but they’re never going to win a championship the way they play right now because it’s all Luca all the time LCA donic is quote strongly urging the Mavericks to obtain Assets in order to help with a playoff run this season if the Mavericks were looking to build for a playoff run they would have to look no further than the fact that the Mavericks have relied on the star power of [Music] donic well the Dallas Maverick’s making a huge trade tonight Kyrie Irving one of the most controversial names in all of sports is now a Maverick MAV fans have been begging for some support for Luca but boy Kyrie brings a lot of baggage the Dallas Mavericks are the worst place on Earth for Kyrie Irving he’s the best dribbler but the Mavericks have who is better at these things in Luca donic there’s not enough ball to go around this is subtraction by addition and now he’s got it in the back court up ahead to Kyrie he stops he FS a shot now Luca going back to Kyrie a pump fake steps through the defense lost the ball thrown up ahead to Kyle Anderson and it’s all over they finded the organization $750,000 for conduct detrimental to the league violated the League’s player resting policy desire to lose the game in order to prove the chances of keeping its first round pick Chris’s porzingis trade losing Brunson for nothing Kyrie Irving traded you are always on the clock with a player like Luca donic it is hard to see a pathway of getting the kind of players around Luca donic and Kyrie Irving that would make this team a contender again Oklahoma City traded 12 for 10 to Dallas the Mavs getting the 12th overall selection with Derek Lively the Thunder got Cas Wallace and the rights to Davis bons so clearly you are comfortable here what made that decision so easy for you really trusting each other to be the best possible version of ourselves just make this a home for me for the next few years Peace of Mind wise you know you got people that believe You Now Grant Williams becomes the Celtics second homegrown draft pick to get traded this year after Marcus Smart was sent off to the Memphis Grizzlies Williams is set to sign a $54 million deal with the Mavs I believe that if the Dallas Mavericks struggle this year that Luca donic will ask out of Dallas you and kyria together and for some reason that doesn’t work I think the likelihood of him asking out is significantly higher in an unexpected move Dallas Mavericks owner Mark cubin has agreed to sell the majority of his stake in the team the family of Miriam adelon the Widow of Casino magnet Sheldon adelon they’re the prospective buyers of the [Music] team you have to do everything possible when you have a player like Luca donic on your roster as far as finding the most talent to surround him and I know there was two first round picks that went out when you get Daniel Gafford and PJ Washington and that upgrades your roster Lea looking in for Irving Irving for the the win oh my oh my a sthp finish from Kyrie Irving just absur with the Dallas Mavericks now climbing in the standings right now it just seems like it’s kind of Luca’s award to lose every year somehow Luca manages to get consistently better even though his last year was phenomenal Luka 73 points I was just going you know whatever the defense give me they double me all the time so I Tred to make some play Then sometime I would just break the double so just seeing the game probably on the top one of the top you know I’m glad we got to win LCA is going to play through everything I don’t see any scenario where LCA Don just sitting gamees he’s dealing with a knee Sprint he’s dealing with an ankle soreness ankle Sprint and now he’s dealing with this chest sternum issue I don’t think he’s going to be missing time but clearly he’s playing through a bunch of stuff and the final Standing Ovation and Roar from the Mavericks fans here in Dallas Mavericks in the second round the respect Factor after six hard fought games and the Dallas Mavericks for the second time in 3 years are going to the Western Conference Finals the series is over and Dallas is moving on coming back from 17 points down to win the series four games to two enjoy the moment realize how hard you work to get there nothing’s guaranteed in this league especially making it to the finals every year we couldn’t have done it without a collective responsibility us working together every single day practicing hard doing a little thing so we should reward ourselves by playing hard it doesn’t matter if I was hurt how much was I hurt I was out there tried to play but I didn’t do enough I’m proud of every guy that step on the floor all the coaches all the people behind obviously we didn’t win finals but we did have a hell of a season and I’m proud of every one of them when you have a postseason that was as challenging and as long as this was for the Mavs they’re going to use that experience they’re going to come back better and they can really learn with gain experience with and hopefully win a championship win [Music]
