The Mavs lost alot of games that they should’ve won, especially the one against the T-Wolves. With Kyrie being a part time hooper after the all star break, and then the Mavs started slumping bad, I think people started to see the writing on the wall. Why risk an injury in the play in games, then in the playoffs just to lose, and then give the pick to the Knicks with the possibility that Kyrie walks. Let’s say Kyrie walks anyways, Mavs still have a top 10 pick to use as value to trade or draft a stud. I feel bad for the fans since they were probably hoping for the best considering that they were in the WCF just last year, and beat the 1st seed in a 3-2 comeback in their own home court
Pretty bullshit how the Knicks get a pick taken away from “tampering” with Brunson and the mavs only get a fine for laughing in the commissioners face about the play in. In the long wrong however I believe this to beneficial to NY mavs “should” be out the top ten next year so thx anyways. Also if I’m Dolan I’m just telling thibs to rest starters against Dallas next year lol
Gilbert Arenas had the best idea that I’ve heard to fix tanking… “Make the last place team ineligible to land a top 3 pick… so the best they can do is #4.”
Bet you’d see teams fighting right til the bitter end in that case.
They didn't get fined because they talked about it. They got fined because even a 2 year old could recognize what the mavericks were doing. And they kept saying we seen this before. When? I never seen a team who had a chance to make the playoffs just tank like that. Before this it was all teams who were out of playoff contention who would tank.
Why not take the pick away they tanked for ? fining a Billionare a million dollars is like me giving a homeless guy a dollar on the corner of an offramp.

5:33 — now why you had to go ask Chuck that, Ernie?! 🤣🤣 Y'all KNOW what's next!! And it ain't good for you, Chuck!!
Chuck is dead on the money.
Ernie is such a boss. When it rained ping pong balls, he didn’t even FLINCH.
Shaq and everyone's reaction at 5:27 XD, you can clearly tell the producer said something in their ear tell them to egg on Chuck
So throwing a game only costs $750K, gamblers are salivating. This league is a joke.
I love this show
Jason kid should have kept his big mouth shut
That's not gonna even effect Cuban shoukda suspended him for a year and taken draft picks for the next decade
Their next draft pick got an extra 750k cap hit
Luv these guys 😂
Dang they almost had to reboot Kenny.
Mark Cuban probably pulled out a 7
$750,000 bill and paid this fine. That’s pocket change to him 😂.
They better win the finals next year doin allat 😅
5:35 my boi shaq got his mind on da gutter 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Weak “punishment”. Fine a MILLIONAIRE and see if he cares 😂 he will make that 700k back soon enough I bet. All that investments and whatnot
I hate y'all, man😂
i know Chuck never won a title..but he sure took those balls like a champ

Without kyrie they make the playoffs 100%… I think this plan was in place a while ago
Cuban would just reach on the side of his Sofa and probably get that dough.
Half the league did the same the last games this fine is bs
Here's an idea….get rid of protected picks!!!!!
The play in teams should get higher chances at a top pick than the tankers.
My first thought was what about all the other teams that did the same thing thw whole season?
The only way to fix the lottery is make where nobody knows where they gonna land at.
🥋
NBA should take the pick if they're really trying to do something.
SMH but the NBA allowed all the stars to sit out so that the lakers can win games smfh
This was so dumb too cause they were 5-38 or something with both of them so they were gonna lose anyway 😅
give them a smaller piece of revenue sharing. All they care about is money, take it away.
Look at the Raptors, didn't tank and now they aren't going to get any better any time soon
5:38 It was at this moment he knew …
They turned Charles into Captain Kangaroo!😂
Kyrie is to blame…everywhere he goes it's non stop bullshit
reminds me of Mister Moose dropping ping pong balls on Captain Kangaroo
Lovie Smith 🤣🤣🤣
tanking is TRASH
Joe Dumars is 100
750,000 for a top ten pick. That is the correct decision.

Who cares? Teams been doing it all damn season
lol!
No protected picks, either. If you trade a 1st rounder, you trade the pick
Dallas potentially cannot even get their own pick, because if they fall at 11th pick Knicks own it.
