  1. Anybody watching tonight? I'm curious how the fans are post-Nico.
  2. Got 4 category 2 tickets to the US game in Seattle, 4 for the round of 32 game in Dallas, and 4 tickets to a random group stage game in KC.
  3. Good to have you ass holes back. I might try to figure out how to watch the game tomorrow.
  4. The thing you’re missing is we are right at the 2nd apron. We suck and have no way to get better after the lottery pick this upcoming year. I think you have to get rid of Klay and at least one big. It’s dumb to carry 4 centers in this NBA.
  5. I won a ticket slot to buy tickets tomorrow. Did anybody do this in the last round? Curious on what to expect when I'm able to login.
  6. The point of trading Klay is to start to hopefully repair your reputation with players and to get Klay off the books for next year. The Mavs suck ass and they are approaching the 2nd apron--meaning they have no room to do anything.
  7. Yup. Not going to have a chance for a pick this high again for awhile. And not because we'll be good...
  8. So new GM's first priorities: 1) Call Dirk and give him a key to the facility. Dude should have an office there if he wants one. 2) Press conference that brings a lot of transparency about what the path forward is. 3) Commit to the tank. They don't need to do a fire sale, but teams will absolutely want a Gafford or PJ for a playoff run this year. I think you have to do Klay a solid and get him to a team he wants to go to and get him off the books for next season. I might be in the minority, but I would not trade Kyrie. Just let him sit out the rest of the year and bring him back next year. I think AD is going to have to come back and play for us to trade him for anything of value. He needs to not be a point forward, though. That made me want to gouge my eyes out. 4) Related to number 3, but if Kidd is not on board with tanking, he should be canned. I've never been a huge fan of his and if he's going to prove to be a stubborn ass hole, goodbye to him. 5) PG is the most immediate need for next year and beyond. Address that with the lottery pick and/or with free agency next summer. All-in-all, they are actually in a much better spot to rebuild around Flagg than they were around Luka in 2018.
  9. Lots of people did. Mark Cuban being the notable one.
  10. If Dumont hires an actual basketball person (Dennis Lindsey would be a good get) there's a scenario where we are back in contention in 2-3 years. Dumont fucked up--big time. But I personally don't have a problem with an owner that isn't a micromanager, he just fucked up by putting trust in a guy that is the worst GM in league history. A lot of the distance from Dirk was created by Nico. The next guy will fix that day 1. If they tank this year, get a decent return for AD, Klay, and possibly Gafford, there is something to work with there.
  11. Is it your contention that the fans caused his firing and not him making the worst trade in the history of professional sports?
  12. I seriously don't understand this line of thinking. This franchise needs to heal and it was never going to happen with Nico around. Dude is a cancer and needs to be removed. He'll never work in the NBA again yet we're supposed to keep him around so the fans can keep yelling at him every game?
  13. That was a brutal collision so I don't have any qualms with him missing this window. But man...I feel like we are holding on by a thread to stay healthy. We cannot afford to be missing both Adams and Pulisic next summer and they're already breaking down.
  14. This cannot be a real picture, right?
