May 13May 13 Is it fair to say that the Mavs need a guard more than a small forward? If so, Nico trades #1 to Spurs for both their picks. Spurs take Flagg. Nico trades the picks for a veteran guard and small forward, probably KD. Hahahaha
May 13May 13 we need to find out what kind of after game suds Cooper likes...I understand stand he may have acquired a taste for beer in college..,

May 13May 13 I honestly don’t know, is Cooper Flagg considered a generational type or just another really good player? I didn’t know anything about him until late in the cbb season.

I read somebody call him the most “complete prospect” in a generation, because his offensive game is much more refined at this point than Wemby’s and he’s a good defender, especially as a help side guy. Wemby has a higher ceiling, mainly because he has a higher ceiling than everyone. Another thing to consider with Flagg is he just turned 18, he reclassified to go to Duke a year early. Which makes him holding his own last summer in workouts with the men’s national team even more impressive, he was a 17 year old kid.

May 13May 13 Some good points on why we need to fire Nico The Dallas Mavericks STILL need to fire Nico Harrison - now more than ever
May 13May 13 Nico was holding 7/4 off suit. flop brings 6 A K turn 3 river 5 Nico makes the nut straight of course silver was the dealer.

He can be the secondary on the PnR. Distributor. Decent shooter in college. Unlimited energy. And that's just on offense, which is the weaker side of his game. He is so good on defense.

Flagg, who I’m glad to have, is 7-8 years from his prime. He can probably contribute immediately and hopefully he’ll be the next Grant Hill, but there’s more than a little bit of a Great White Hope vibe around this kid. My point is that we can’t trust Nico to manage this situation if Cooper Flagg exceeds all expectations. How can we trust Nico if he doesn’t?

Hopefully that prevents Nico from overthinking this gift of a pick. It was more of joke than anything. I know he is a very good defender. I am expecting him to be a very good defender in the NBA but it is another level of play so you never know. if he is the 3 he shouldn't have an issue.

Nico has already stated he sees this as a 3-4 year window and he's out. It would be criminal to let him trade an absolute bailout for this franchise by using it as capital to bolster a 2-3 year window. It's the perfect opportunity to oust this bozo and let the more qualified candidates lineup.

May 15May 15 Assuming Nico doesn’t fuck it up and Mavs draft Cooper, the big question is who runs point until Kyrie returns. Different scenarios I have seen/heard being thrown out: Just roll with Brandon Williams Sign a vet free agent like Schroeder, Tyus Jones, Malcolm Brogden Make a trade: Colby White (would love) Derrick White (hate the contract), Anfernee Simons (not really a PG but I like him). Most likely assets to be used in a trade would be Gafford, PJ, Hardy, picks, and possibly Klay depending on the deal. Somehow Dwight Powell’s expiring won’t be used in a deal and he will remain a Mav I like Gafford but he seems the most logical to move. PJ is streaky on offense but I love what he has done as a Mav and would hate to see him go but he now seems the odd man out. I like Klay as a player, not attached to him as a Mav. I definitely stopped watching/caring after the Luka trade and I really have missed it. I hate the owners/Nico and pisses me off they lucked in to the # pick but I like having a little hope again for the team. Starting 5: Ky (when healthy), Klay, Cooper, AD, Lively
May 15May 15 Author We're 13 million over the first apron. Whatever we do it's going to involve shedding salary. I wonder if we bring back exum for 3 million again. Hardy basically didn't play at the end of the season even when healthy so I can't imagine he'll be here in October. I've said it before - Gafford for Reaves straight up solves issues for both teams. I'd rather keep PJ than Klay. Send him to LA also.
May 15May 15 Klay would have absolutely been helpful if we had kept the roster in place. Look at Klay's numbers when Luka came back in December. He had one dud game against Memphis, but after that and up until Luka got hurt, he shot 51% from 3 and averaged 18 points per game. That was all while averaging only 25 minutes per game.

Starting 5: Ky (when healthy), Klay, Cooper, AD, Lively My dream scenario is to Trade AD(they won't) and keep PJ to be the 4(his natural spot). Flagg/PJ/Lively is damned good defensively, rebounding, and even scoring to varying degrees. I would absolutely take Colby White and even White(even with that contract) to keep them afloat until Kyrie is back. Even a guy like Schroder fits too...I'm sure they'll find some ball handler between now and the season. When Healthy Ky/Klay/Cooper/PJ/Lively and still a decent bench with Naji and the like. I don't think they'll sit klay...but if they get a Derek or Colby White player, it's probaby Ky/White starting and Klay/Naji/Omax/Powell off the bench. I'm probalby missing guys but that's still a very solid team with a mix of young and vets and a future. Who absolutely could contend next year if Flagg is close to what they think. But yea, the'll keep AD, trade Gafford/PJ and probalby get a guard back to hold the fort and maybe some future assets and roll with Ky/Klay/Cooper/AD/Lively and a good bench(still good IF everyone is healthy. a legit threat. 6 hours ago, Dbeasy said: Mavs need to boot Klay. He’s worthless. And they need to fire Nico for signing him. Man WTF for his salary and asked to do WAY more than he was expected, he was perfectly fine. I hope they don't feel they HAVE to start him, but they probably will. 3 hours ago, LurkingHorn said: Klay would have absolutely been helpful if we had kept the roster in place.

That was all while averaging only 25 minutes per game. OH yeah Klay, at his salary, was a good player for them, considering he was asked to play more, and do more, than he was supposed to. GOD I wanted to see this team fully realized with Luka. Even with the Lively/Gafford injuries, and even with Ky being hurt...they still make the playoffs and give the Thunder a run.
May 21May 21 Just want to say how frustrating it is to watch two teams the Mavs beat last year play in the western conference finals. I think we take either of them and are in the finals without having to play Boston.

May 21May 21 I don't think I'll ever get over Nico purposely tanking a championship window. It was absolutely there for the taking with this roster. With how the draft played out, I'm now fully on board with Adam Silver making this call. Lebron is going to retire soon and they need the Lakers to stay relevant. Especially a year with a player like Flagg guaranteed to go #1. I'll never believe a GM is that dumb to trade someone like Luka for the return we got. Nico is just the fall guy, hence he hasn't been fired. You can go back through the years and see this same pattern play out with teams getting the #1 pick who lost a top talent player.

June 1Jun 1 19 years ago today Dirk dropped 50 on the Suns, which I remembered, but sometime since then I had forgotten that there was once an NBA player named Tim Thomas.
June 3Jun 3 19 years ago today Dirk dropped 50 on the Suns, which I remembered, but sometime since then I had forgotten that there was once an NBA player named Tim Thomas. Yep that was a great game. It was looking like the Suns were slowly taking over that game and series but Dirk dropped his nuts all over the Suns after Tim Thomas did that. Followed up a few days later with a huge comeback in Phoenix to close it out.

June 7Jun 7 The fact that Kidd is even entertaining this is pretty telling on how he feels about the front office IMO. You want out of here so bad you’ll go work for Dolan? Im pretty neutral on Kidd. I wouldn’t be devastated if he left and they got draft capital for him.
