I don't think I'll ever get over Nico purposely tanking a championship window. It was absolutely there for the taking with this roster. 
With how the draft played out, I'm now fully on board with Adam Silver making this call. Lebron is going to retire soon and they need the Lakers to stay relevant. Especially a year with a player like Flagg guaranteed to go #1.

I'll never believe a GM is that dumb to trade someone like Luka for the return we got. Nico is just the fall guy, hence he hasn't been fired. You can go back through the years and see this same pattern play out with teams getting the #1 pick who lost a top talent player.

Just want to say how frustrating it is to watch two teams the Mavs beat last year play in the western conference finals. I think we take either of them and are in the finals without having to play Boston. 

Agreed.

And I still say a healthy Mavs team might beat both these teams, even after the Luka Trade. But definitely before.

Last year's team beats any of these teams in the playoffs. This year's team with Naji and Klay was even better for the two weeks we had everyone healthy.

No question...Naji and Klay with any improvement from Lively, would have made them faves in the west.

19 years ago today Dirk dropped 50 on the Suns, which I remembered, but sometime since then I had forgotten that there was once an NBA player named Tim Thomas. 
 
Yep that was a great game. It was looking like the Suns were slowly taking over that game and series but Dirk dropped his nuts all over the Suns after Tim Thomas did that. Followed up a few days later with a huge comeback in Phoenix to close it out.

And he played for the Mavs.

The fact that Kidd is even entertaining this is pretty telling on how he feels about the front office IMO. You want out of here so bad you’ll go work for Dolan? 
 

Im pretty neutral on Kidd. I wouldn’t be devastated if he left and they got draft capital for him.

Nico has shown to be a great steward of draft picks.

Dirk was a killer. He got a "soft" label placed on him thanks to previous Euros and 2006 Finals/2007 We Believe Warriors...but the man would literally kill you with his game.

His post up game was so good. 

One of the best ever to do it at 7 ft.

Knicks wanna talk to Kidd might even trade a couple picks for him

Do it.  Give me the Washington first rounder that will NOT convey and turns into two 2nd rounders, both of which will be stupid high.

Man there's so many established coaches out there too...

I'd take Mike Malone(who helped develop Jokic) in a heartbeat. The coach that won a title in Milwaulkee too(can't spell his name and not looking it up).

The REAL issue is who's making the hire?  If it's Nico we might be fucked.

But if it's NOT Nico it's really fucking fucked.

Just fire Nico god dammit.
