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.Ā 

2) Press conference that brings a lot of transparency about what the path forward is.Ā 

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.Ā 

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.Ā 

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.Ā Ā 

Ā 

All-in-all, they are actually in a much better spot to rebuild around Flagg than they were around Luka in 2018.Ā

I guess we have to tank this year because this is our only unprotected first round pick until 2031. So that's pretty cool.Ā

Yup. Not going to have a chance for a pick this high again for awhile. And not because we'll be good...

This is a great year to sell off and be at the top of the lotto odds. As long as they don't get fleeced Nico style or take on albatross contracts you should have some decent assets and some cash to throw around in 2027 around a young core of Flagg + high lotto pick. If they do this right, this doesn't have to be as painful as it may have been under Cuban who would have refused to fall out of the 9-10 play in game.

Lots of people did. Mark Cuban being the notable one.Ā 

I haven’t heard any criticism except some jackass at a Rangers game behind home plate incessantly yelling it. Well fuck Cuban. He let the devil in the door, and I’ve been a Mavs fan a lot longer than that jackass owning the team and inserting himself into the equation.Ā

Agreed for the most part, but this ā€œdoing Klay a solid and get him to a contenderā€ - who gives a shit? Ā There is little market for him. Just jettison his ass. The Mavs don’t need to do any more solids for teams or players.Ā 

I really agree on Kyrie (not so much Kidd). Ā This team is at least .500 with him. AD and Klay need to go asap. Cooper, Max, and PJ need to form a core and should be considered untouchable. Kyrie needs to be here through 26-27 and we need to identify 1-2 ball handlers/creators. Prob one through high draft pick and one in free agency.Ā

Fuck Mark Cuban. He doesn't get to say shit about fuck anymore. It's partially his fucking fault for selling the team to a group that didn't give a shit about Dallas, the Mavericks, the team, the fans, Dirk, etc. So yeah, fuck Cuban.Ā 

Cuban is now sleeping on a 25 inch mattress stuffed with $1000 bills instead of the 23 inch one he had before. Winning!
