    Mavs have made a plethora of bad decisions under Mark Cuban’s watch dating back almost 2 decades…the media just lets him off the hook

    Kyrie has been great for the Mavs so far…hasn’t caused any distractions and is averaging 27, 5, and 6 on 51/38/95 splits with a 128 offensive rating

    Mavs have a +5.7 net rating with Kyrie on the court…no one else in their regular rotation is anywhere close to being that high, not even Luka, and the Mavs have a -7 net rating with him off

    Mavs just can’t defend a soul…gave away what was left of their already bad defense for Kyrie

    they could’ve had Brunson on a 4/55 deal, and decided to make the Kyrie trade in an act of desperation to put a star next to Luka

    they’ve pretty much sealed their fate with this trade…give Kyrie a long-term deal and hope that they are the organization he chooses not to go rogue with, or lose him for nothing

    Kyrie one of the most overrated players in history. He has to thank Lebron for legitmizing him dude has done nothing except collect too lotto picks in Cleveland.

    waste of a trade. funny how getting rid of your best defensive player in DFS who is so versatile on that end, can have such an impact. People really need to realized very good role players like DFS do make a significant difference on the overall balance of a team.

    They can have Silas back, too.

    I would throw in every pick we have from now until 2027 and every player for Luka

    Luka Doncic I just don't trust him as a Player, No Self Discipline, Self Accountability, No Leadership. Always whines and cries to the Referees and Doesnt run back defensively.

    Sued his own Mother, Luka is a Lost Soul, Sold his Soul (Tattoo of Illuminati)

    Now they're going to try and dogpile Luka when Kyrie has been a flaming pile of toxic waste that irradiated every organization he went to while posting literal neo-Nazi rhetoric on Twitter. Okay, sports media. We know what you're really looking for here--anything that creates more drama is better for your ratings, right?

    Mavericks have too many Yes Men and Friends for Mark Cuban instead of having a Working Environment.

    Remember the Woman got Se*ual Harassment Charges in the Front Office. The Mavericks Culture must be Frat. Mark Cuban Imprint is on the Mavericks Organization.

    Doncic has a lot of deserved question marks right now. As good as he is, or should be, Dallas shouldn't be this mediocre even with a trash supporting cast. However Cuban is low key one of the worst owners in the league, he just happened to have Dirk and lucked into Doncic.

    However Dallas was gonna make the playoffs and possibly even advance a round before Kyrie got there, now they won't even make the play in. His ability to disappoint literally everywhere except next to LeBron is amazing.

    To be fair to Doncic, if you have a trash roster, the results will be trash. Look at James and that 2015-2016 roster. Just couldn't carry them quite far and just made it 0.500. What a shitty season.
