    Dirk going to LA for Luka’s debut. Probably the biggest FU yet to this front office.

    Isn’t trading your star player and having all your good players injured and then raising ticket prices the plot of major league II?

Flagg.  Have you not been paying attention?

That's what's so puzzling about the trade.  How can you mess up that badly when ever else has been so good.

Fire Nico 

AD has a detached retina. How is it possible this guy has so many injuries?

Fucking rumor mill is saying the Mavs are trying to trade for washed up ass lebron

At some point he's going to be washed up ass, but as of last season he is still pretty fucking elite.  Not that I would do it regardless because of the circus he brings.

It seems pretty obvious this was the setup from the NBA. Give Luca to the Lakers, get LeBron back with AD and Kyrie in Dallas playing alongside the #1 pick. LeBron loves the Cowboys too.

Ugh I'd hate it...not because I wouldn't love Bron and the media circus being here for his final year or two(can't be worse than the Cowboys) but because he and the lakers, will act like he's an MVP player still and want multiple picks and players for him.

After 2 years of Kyrie not doing anything stupid he is back talking about vaccines and flat earth.

It’s going to be a fun ride…

I'm out, I don't give a fuck, and won't support that worthless cunt of an owner. And fuck Cuban for selling her the team. Cuban was always an oddball but he was our oddball and even when he made a bad move or two he always was trying to do good for the team, then let it all go. New owner gave away the franchise for nothing. Fuck her, forever.

Not so fast.  Maybe he'll trade the owners.

well. yeah.  

 

that's not the photo i would have chosen.

The Cuban interview on the DLLS podcast is good. Says in retrospect he wishes he put the Mavs out for open bid, and was also upset when he heard about the trade. Other stuff

- the 2006 Championship was stolen

- The NBA made them take out the part in the contract about operational control (Stein pushed back)

- He still has a close relationship with the team, mentions Rick, Ethan, and says Patrick Dumont really wants to win. 

- Pretty clearly there’s no relationship or love lost with Nico

- He’s very excited about Cooper Flag

- The NBA is moving towards more PE concerns than what the fans want

- He makes a good case why expansion probably isn’t in the cards anytime soon 

Oh and I don’t know what Overwatch is, but fire Nico

Well, I’m quite familiar with Overwatch and still think that’s pretty cringe.

Is there no Mavs' 25-26 season thread?

Was given two LL seats (Section 108) by my in-laws for an early birthday present. Apparently they thought I'd care to see Cooper Flagg's first-ever game because it's against my Spurs. My wife and I already had plans for that night and yesterday the tickets came through (somewhat surprisingly) the second-rate resale site they spent too much money through. I've got them listed on StubHub for a total that is less than face value ($381/ticket) but could easily pull them back to TicketMaster.

Happy to listen to offers if somebody would like to go in my stead. If I can't get face, I'll just take my son to the game and grudgingly bail on the concert.

No one has enough interest to start one.  Fuck Nico.

This. Fuck this franchise. Fuck Adelson, and fuck Cuban for selling out to her. I saw they might be moving to Irving anyway. Fuck all of it.

Nope because at the time, we had no idea we'd be getting Flagg. NBA rigs the drafts and they did it for us. It was a god awful trade, fuck Nico. He had zero to do with getting Flagg.

Nope fuck this shit

Arena seems pretty dead. I think people are interested to see Flagg but still not a lot of fire. It’s also 9 pm so maybe that has something to do with it.

9pm home opener vs Spurs would usually be packed and crazy. Fuck them

Dirk went to LA last night to watch Luka. Afaik he's not at the AAC tonight.

Here. Wouldn’t call the place rocking, but it’s full. Got some free tickets to this and Pacers game. I would not pay for tickets. 

O running through AD who’s pressing. Guys aren’t even looking for Flagg. He needs to force the issue more. 

So ummm, we got the Arch Manning of NBA hoops....
ducks

I would counter that Jason Kidd is the Sark of NBA coaches. [emoji1787]

Having the kid run the point is insanity.

Also - fuck the Spurs and that alien that have. That shit ain’t fair. He could score 100.

Yessir. Start D Lo and then Nembhard when ready. Flagg needs to play off ball now. I want a true PG starting with Flagg and PJ at the wings, AD at 4 and Lively at 5. 

This is about what I thought going into the season, honestly. We have zero playmakers in the half court. Teams are just going to prevent any fast breaks and force us to beat them in the half court. I just don’t think building a defense-first team can be a consistent winner in this NBA. 

this team is gonna be awful.  davis is washed up.  kyrie isn't going to be able to save them.

the NBA is so hard to watch.  Flagg gets murdered on that reverse, no call but the earlier pansy ass flop on the 3 gets called.

The offense can’t flow thru Davis. We’ll get rolled in most games. Mavs are very deep with no weak links. Unfortunately the top end talent and playmaking is not there. 

If AD is going to go 7-22, Mavs need to move him this year by deadline. He will stunt Cooper growing and waste time.

but how will we win championships?  Flagg will be gone after the contract runs out. what a shit show.

the Spurs have to be the luckiest fucking team in the history of the draft.
