    I honestly don’t think anyone knows what the hell Nico Harris and the new ownership is really to and what their true objectives are.

    I don’t trust his statement that they are trying to win now with AD but I also can’t say that it’s not entirely true. What is it about AD that they had to have him and only him I have no idea, but in a rational world AD does not make sense without a Kyrie type of guard and good wing depth.

    So I assume Kyrie is at this point untradable but who knows. Even if he is, Kyrie is still Kyrie and at any point he can literally just decide he’s just not into basketball anymore and go do anything from going to burning man for a month to being named the Secretary of Treasury (which oddly he’d be better than most of the random weird goons nominated to run our country right now).

    So no I don’t trust the Mavs front office and certainly not their new ownership right now and I really really don’t trust Kyrie even though yes he would be an upgrade over FVV from a talent standpoint.

    If I’m Stone it’s worth staying in touch with Nico but I’m not burning up my phone to make a deal by any stretch.

    what would we have realistically offered for Luka?

    Fred, Cam, Tari, + 3 first round picks?

    The Luka trade was perceived as a win now move for the Mavs…

    They might barely win the Play In.

    That is Win now to me.

    Even with Luka the Mavs were up and down in the standings.

    The Lakers were up and down.

    I don't see it changing with AD.

    Luka? Rox would have offered half the team and all the picks and it would be worth it.

    Its a dumb idea though cuz the Mavs went to the Finals last year. Its actually better to trade Kyrie for younger guys so you extend Doncic and Lively window rather than bet on Irving and AD to beat Nuggets, Celtics, Bucks and even Kings who should be much better now with Lavine.

    laugh at the Lakers deal but I’d trade all that for AD.

    Yeah AD on this team would be insane ngl. But tbh any superstar player when you add him to a 2nd seed would be insane lol.

    It's true that Luka Doncic can't seem to lay off the deep dish Super Supreme pizza (his conditioning has always been a puzzle), but he isn't a player you trade. One of the best players in the league, gifted to the go**amned Lakers.

    I really want us to trade for LeBron.....that way Bronny follows.




    Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha I couldn't say it with a straight face.


    I remember when LeBron said Bronny was better than half the players in the league.
    While looking at Jalen Green side-eyed. Bronny couldn't hold Jalen's jock strap now
    and before heart problem.
