  1. Would have loved a KD vs LeBron 1st round. No guarantee they meet up later.

    Going for the Nuggets this postseason as Jokic faces too many stupid people taking pot shots at him. Reminds me of 20 years ago when people were calling Dirk a soft Euro.

  2. Crazy part are there are still Mavs fans online that say 'F**K TEAM TANK. I will never root for my team to lose."

    Kind of wonder what world someone like that lives in really.

    Nash walked without compensation (then 2x MVP)

    Chandler walked without compensation (DPOY next year)

    Brunson walked without compensation (all star)

    Kidd, Mashburn, Jackson traded for pennies on the dollar

    It’s always been a shit show. Cuban just got lucky with Dirk. If Dirk busted, we would be talking about the worst franchise in history.

    Every move in a vacuum made some sense. The story goes with Nash is the Maverick team doctors said Nash's back was f**ked and it was all downhill from there. How much of that is true I don't know.

    Brunson struggled in the 2021 playoffs against the Clippers. Lots of people were saying two years ago maybe he was a regular season player and the Mavs could get him for cheap. Midway through the 2022 season Brunson decided he was out of Dallas though. Jalen said his goodbyes to all the players after the 2022 playoffs ended. He was gone by that point.

    Ultimately comes down to after that 2011 chip Cuban no longer cared about championships. Sure he didn't want the Mavs to suck or be personally ridiculed but he cares especially about the money aspect now. On the flipside you see an organization like Golden State where even after 4 freaking chips they are still willing to go all out to spend.

    I still am completely baffled as to why the Mavs thought trading their depth for Kyrie was a good idea.

    Never have been a Kyrie fanboy but in theory- Mavs were locked into a fairly mediocre uninspiring roster and have no great secondary assets like the Suns had in a Mikal Bridges to trade for a truly elite disgruntled superstar. Settling for being a 5th or 6th seed with Luka is unconscionable to most Mavs fans which helps dial up the desperation. Dinwiddie and Finney-Smith are both 30 years old so no real hope either might turn into a perennial all-star. Could have been a step back to take two steps forward type situation. 

    At this point the Mavs have to pray Kyrie signs a 4 year max (lulz) and then can flip him for a better asset in 2024 or so.

    Believe most casuals overrate how valuable a 'walking bucket' alone is in today's NBA. Even awful teams can fill it up these days against bad defenses. Getting strong vibes of an even worse version of the Lebron first Cavs stint.

  4. Mavs are like 25th in defense and rebounding. Not exactly a head scratcher on what they need to do to improve in the offseason. Free agent crop is weak so are options are like Kyrie or Fred Van Vleet.

    Finney Smith has kinda sucked since he's been on the Nets. Defense has regressed some and bricking threes lately. Plays Houston tonight though. Good vibes opponent.

    The Mavs...smh.  Oh yeah, and Kyrie has been playing through plantar fasciitis.

    Playing with Kyrie vibes am i right 

    I know Luka sued his mom in the offseason and doesn't seem that close to his dad either.

    insane stat of the day:

    The Boston Celtics when shooting 40% or more from three: 26-0

    The Boston Celtics when shooting less than 40% form three: 21-22

     

    Boston takes around 42 three point attempts per game, Golden State 43 attempts. Most guys can't see the floor these days unless they can help compete in the 3 point contest.
