Never thought I would be rooting for failure but that is kind of where my head is at. I want not just Nico gone but things to get so bad Dumont wants out. They won't get swept by them. They won't win, don't get me wrong. But Dallas is all up in OKC's head. They don't want to see them. With or without Kyrie and Luka(they won 3 of 4 this year anyways, and the 3 they won were without Luka and one without Kyrie I believe)

Kidd went to his playoff rotation. Brandon Williams going off followed by Dante Exum coming in to control the game made him expendable.
April 17Apr 17 And for some reason, when the playoffs start, Kidd turns into a top 5 coach and just seems to hit a lot of the right buttons...it's fucking crazy.
April 17Apr 17 I think it’s most likely this team would take a couple from OKC, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this was the year OKC swept Dallas if they were to meet. I can’t muster any emotion for OKC but I’ll be supporting them this post season. Will probably join some watch parties I’ve been invited to in the past by rabbid OKC fan friends and coworkers.

April 18Apr 18 The Mavericks are actively shopping for land, development and deals in/around Dallas for the new arena and entertainment build. They 100% aren’t moving to Las Vegas. It’s fan delirium and conspiracy. That said, Go Lakers. I hope Luka gets a ring this year.

The difference between us is that I’m not gonna let my political leanings convince me of something that isn’t true. You're the one who went CR, dipshit. I called her a vile cunt, because she's a vile cunt, specifically for allowing this bullshit trade. You're the one who came in "akshually just nico" and went full CR. As for the topic at hand, I'll bet you $100 right now that Nico is not fired this offseason, because I believe she instructed him to do it or at least was happy to let him go to LA.

Nico not getting fired this offseason is not fucking evidence of your tin foil hat conspiracy theory.

It’s not tinfoil hat stuff, owners tanking their franchises to support a move has a long history in pro sports. If that’s not the reason, it’s something else to curry favor with the league. There is zero chance it was Nico didn’t like Luka and therefore made the worst trade in pro sports history. If he was unloading he would have gotten something in return. Nobody is incompetent enough to believe the return here was anywhere close to value.

I could see a chance of a sweep, but i think it's much more likely the Mavs snipe at least one game, and make them work for 2-3 more IMO. If they had Kyrie i'd like to see it more..

There is more than enough high quality reporting over this entire fiasco that the picture of how this went down is pretty fucking clear unless you are wearing a tin foil hat. And that is besides the point that it flat out wouldn't make sense economically considering a Dallas franchise (top 5 market) is inherently more valuable than a Vegas franchise.

April 19Apr 19 defense wins championships. our new superstar flopping and not getting back on D. sacramento fucking sucked, like us.

April 19Apr 19 Pretty fun watching the mavericks get butt fucked on one tv and the rangers getting blanked on the other. God why did you make me a Dallas fan
April 19Apr 19 Pretty fun watching the mavericks get butt fucked on one tv and the rangers getting blanked on the other. God why did you make me a Dallas fan Just hold on for the Cowboys. 2025 is the year
April 19Apr 19 If defense wins championships then why would you trade for Kyrie? Clearly he is not a defensive stopper. He is a great offensive player. Why then the change of philosophy after making the finals? None of it makes any sense.
April 19Apr 19 I can’t be mad at these players. They play hard. Lol at Nico side eyeing the TV Cameras when AD went to the bench hurt again.
April 19Apr 19 ha Davis cant even last more than one playoff game anymore. Nico can eat a bag of dicks. he is such a moron.
April 19Apr 19 Legler is funny. you can't really evaluate the trade because Kyrie got hurt and AD got hurt.....uh, yeah Tim, that is the problem you dumbass, they are 33 year old NBA players with a history of injuries.
April 19Apr 19 Fun fact: The Mavs allowed 120 points zero times in 22 games played in the 2024 playoffs.
April 19Apr 19 He’s looking around thinking:“I’m the smartest guy in this arena. My mom was right! I am a good boy!”
April 19Apr 19 gonna be hilarious when AD finds out how hard it REALLY is to drag this group of spares to a Conf Finals much less an NBA finals. Jason Kidd is a fucking awful coach as well. Luka was covering for his ass constantly. The glasses aren't working.
April 19Apr 19 Just now, Bozo_Casanova said: Fun fact: The Mavs allowed 120 points zero times in 22 games played in the 2024 playoffs. Well yea, how were teams supposed to dribble around Luka’s big fat beer gut?
April 19Apr 19 your final reminder...Anthony Davis has won exactly one playoff series without LeBron James on his team.

April 19Apr 19 Yep, while I’ve always been a spurs fan first, living in Dallas for so long turned me also into a Mavs fan. But now, they are as dead to me as the Rockets. Eff em.

I will actively root against them. I sort of made my peace with this last night. I am and will remain a Mavs Fan For Life, and I really like a lot of these players. But this organization is not the Dallas Mavericks anymore. They are Las Vegas Sands Corp, and I don’t have any more of a bond to that than LAs Vegas Sands does to us or to the city of Dallas.

Eff em. Just out of curiosity, is the Rockets part just due to being a rival or was there a specific move that made them dead to you? Just asking because "dead to me" isn't usually something I think of as part of a rivalry but also can't think of any super-traumatic player transaction like Luke trade.

Mavs and Rockets aren’t the same. Here is a better rating system that is more reflective of how I feel 1. Passionate about them - Spurs 2. Don’t even think about them - Rockets and most other NBA teams 3. Root against them - Lakers, Celtics 4. Wish for nothing but failure - Mavs
April 19Apr 19 The biggest L from the Luka trade that doesn’t seem to get any chatter is that Derek Lively looks like an absolute spare offensively (shades of Dwight Powell) and looks lost offensively without Luka (and to a lesser extent Kyrie) doing all the hard work for him. He really benefited greatly from Luka and it opened up his game to be a dangerous offensive and defensive threat which is amazing for a 21 year old not yet in his prime, but now he looks like it’s first time dribbling the ball since high school when he has to do more.
