Maybe we’ll actually get a big this off-season

The moment kyrie leaves, nico is getting fired. Worst mavs trade in the last decade
epicnaenaealert
Because Kidd is a bum fraud and Mark Cuban is a fool who owns a basketball team as a vanity
Luminous-Savior
Before the season started I had the Mavs as a 4 or 5 seed. There were people saying the Mavs wouldn’t make the playoffs, and I thought they were crazy.
I now know they were so wise and I too full of my own hubris to see the truth.

This sub has done nothing but hate on this team all year. Why don’t we deserve this?

Hopefully we tank get our top 10 pick and more likely Kidd gets fired luka is already with it which is why he got that tech
QBert999
A lottery pick is worth a lot more than a play-in game. I think we should embrace it at this point. This season just didn’t work out. Oh well. I’m already looking towards next season.

At this point keeping our pick would be a complimentary thing. Seeing Kidd gone is the true prize.

This is a filthy rotten shame.

it’s all because of Porzingas.

I personally had high expectations for Dallas this year after getting to the Conference Finals last season. This might be one of the worst team collapses since GS between the 2018-19 and the 19-20. They go to the finals then the very next year, they’re literally the worst team in the league.

It is unironically bad karma. Just look at this team’s lowlights in recent years:
– Burned multiple players for no reason (Harrison Barnes, Tyson Chandler)
– Allowed a culture of sexual harassment to permeate the front office for years
– Participated in a crypto scam
– Hired a domestic abuser for a coach and traded for a conspiracy theorist anti-semite (Love Kyrie as a player but it’s true)
This is just the morally objectionable stuff this FO has done without even considering stuff like their generally terrible draft record or the Brunson contract fumble. What goes around comes around, and as a result basically everything that could go wrong this season has gone wrong.

Wait you mean the “doomers” were correct?

I heard the team is moving to Seattle.

Blame the FO, they let Jalen walk for nothing, hired a coach who nearly destroyed 2 franchises, and did absolutely nothing in the offseason or at the deadline to address our dreadful rebounding issues.
I really wish cuban would go away forever, he promoted the FTX scam, hired his friend who has a background in SHOES to be the fucking GM, hired Kidd because he’s his buddy, and is in the process of breaking Luka’s spirit. What a disaster.

Kyrie trade was horrible, please get rid of Kidd
Complexity777
The ones calling us doomers and delusional for saying they should tank months ago are now clamoring for a chance at a top 10 pick lol
Odd_Swordfish_6589
so mavs don’t have a 2nd round pick? Just watched the mia/tex game and that Jordan Miller guy looks perfect for mavs…when I looked up his draft position he is currently listed as maybe not even being drafted, which seems crazy to me..I bet he moves way up..I guess he is sort of old?
But I suppose you would not take him at 10.

– Kyrie wasn’t going to come in and fix problems that have existed years prior.
– Luka, as good as he is, was going to carry the franchise on his back for only so long. We’ve seen his emotions spiral over this season and he’s not enjoying the game anymore.
– A team that struggles mightily and mentally to even get the simplest game skill right, the free throw, wasn’t going to fix the other more difficult problems.
– People wanted to say Wood deserved the treatment by Kidd because of his defense, but Kidd pulled the same mind games with Larry Sanders who WAS good on defense.
Dirk spoke about this when the team was tanking for Luka. He warned against a culture of mediocrity that you don’t want to set in because it’s hard to undo.
Well, Luka came in and drug this team to wins, but I’d argue that it still happened. The team doesn’t have accountability in its player’s performance. Cuban gave all the good community guys on the team contract extensions and made sure they were prominent players, but he didn’t want them to improve and win titles. Dwight Powell is the most egregious example but DFS, Maxi, THJ, Bullock…it’s been the same results.
If you want the Mavs to be successful again, Cuban has to humble himself and go get some basketball people. REAL basketball people. Experienced coaches, front office, etc. that have actually done something in this league. Same for roster. No more nepotism, no more flashy hires. No more acting like you know better than everyone when you just own the dang team and haven’t actually done anything.
At this course, the Mavs could have 5 Luka’s out there, and it wouldn’t matter. It’s a culture and mental thing and there’s got to be a come to basketball Jesus meeting that shakes up the status quo.

Seriously, if Cubes, Kidd & Nico are not at least having conversations about tanking the rest of the way then they are completely irresponsible in their positions.

I’ve accepted it’s done. There’s no energy, no drive, no effort and a lot of frustration. Yep, they’re human, they ain’t robots, so will be very hard to get it together quickly and turn the season around. It’s over, period. Regroup after it’s done and get back to the drawing board.
