25-26 Dallas Mavericks Thread: The Season of Our Discontent


Recommended Posts

Posted

I still think there was some sort of NBA conspiracy going on. Luka gets traded for nothing at all to the biggest market or at least #2 on a Saturday night just when Lebron is ending his career. They then get gifted the #1 draft pick, was it some sort of secrete handshake behind the scenes. I believe that makes more sense than a GM trading one of the biggest global superstars in the middle of his prime months after going to the NBA Finals. I've never seen anything like it in sports. Either way, fuck Nico. Nothing against Flagg but he will never be Luka.

And fuck Nico for letting Brunson walk for nothing. Another top superstar we let go.

If the Mavs play the Lakers in a playoff series, I'll root for Luka to drop 50 every night and a sweep.

The other thing that has happened is this regime has driven Dirk away. Dirk was in LA to support Luka this week, not at Dallas' home season opener for Flagg. Tells me all I need.

Cool seeing all the original branding/logos at the game. Even the font on the scoreboard had a different look. 
 

Lively is not the same without Luka. With this all big lineup the pick and roll with the late pass/lob to Lively is never going to be a thing. 

The dunk Cooper threw down over the Toronto center was awesome.

Nico wasn’t even here for Brunson. That was 100% Cuban.

My son is at the Mavs game right now.  The old sprites and Stetson logo.  The greens are just legit AF

I have a Detlef Schrempf jersey from that era

 

The greens are the best. I wish they'd wear them more.  I also wish we had Derek Harper and Ro out there

He wound up having a really nice game 😂

I still don't trust that guy. 

Flagg is the mf truth. Y'all may need to tear it down to the studs and rebuild though. All of your timelines are jacked up.

He had just gotten here. I doubt he had any say.

So you guys are saying that the GENERAL MANAGER hired in June 2021 played no role in negotiating an extension with Jalen Brunson before he signed with NY in July 2022? 

If that’s the case, Fire Nico. What do you think a GM does?

More importantly, Brunson wasnt a top superstar in DAL.   No one saw what he has become in NY and he was never going to have the opportunity to be that in DAL with Luka.  Further, he was going to NY no mater what.      That's a totally different conspiracy LOL

No he did not. That was all Cuban. And I’m not defending Nico. Cuban hired him, then sold the team to adelson family. Somehow Cuban has skated on all of his terrible decisions over the last 25 years. Well, hiring Nico and fucking up with Brunson so badly are likely his two biggest mistakes, with a sale to that family a close 3rd
