You guys are wrong. If you surveyed every Mavs fan at the beginning of the year and asked, “you can win a championship this year, as long as you trade away Luka.” Most would say no. There is more value to having a guy to watch for 10 years than to have one chip.
this Ja hate coming off the heals of 25 and 11 with 3 steals when it’s been well documented that this new french offense is running the least amount of P&R’s this season and is putting Ja in unfamiliar spots is absolutely insane.
To add on to Drew’s point, I’ve been a Mavs fan for 29 years and I am currently out on them. I find myself actively hoping they fail because that means Nico failed.
Nico did. But actually it was other media and fans who said it. Mavs fans defended Luka till the end. Now it makes me sick seeing all the previous fat shamers turn a 180 and act like we were saying it. Fuck this hypocrisy
Mavericks can still contend. Nothing will fill the void of losing Luka but it will still be a great team. Need another ball handler outside of Kyrie tho
for what the play in? Who are they beating out to even make the playoffs? 11th seed right now with no true point guard. That makes most their players useless
@ So who doesnt make the playoffs then if the Mavs make it? Current standings - OKC, Memphis, Rockets, Nuggets, Lakers, Clippers, Wolves, Kings, Suns, Warriors. You have to get rid of 3 of those teams.
Ant highlights are better than green’s. I’m sure yall are forgetting about that poster over Gabe Vincent that should’ve counted. He’s had at least 5 of the best 50 dunks of the past 25 years.
As a broken hearted mavs fan, even I know AD is a top ELITE defender. Top three two way player, maybe only behind Gianni’s in that category. Nobody can stop joker, nobody can stop Luka, both make top defenders look average.
As sad as my king Luka looks, compound that times 1000 and you see how Mavs fans feel. He gave us his all, I’ve never seen a trade that ripped out millions of fans hearts at once. Like imagine if millions of fans were just dumped by their favorite gf. It’s not like anything else.
To the point where the mavs would be okay if we win a ring with this unit, I disagree as a mavs fan. Luka meant so much to the city of Dallas and the way it went down was such a backstab to the fans and our Slovenian golden boy. We will be happy to win but it won’t be the same, the joy we got from watching Luka torch the league and talk shit with our city on his back… it will never be the same
That would be so ungrateful which makes your take kind of hillarious. It’s a hypothetical you don’t have to worry about though. Mavs aren’t winning anything with the current trade package they got for Luka.
"Who's Luka co-star gonna be when LeBron retires?" Buddy, it's the Lakers. We don't have a hard time acquiring superstars. The amount of cope from the non-Lakers fans is crazy.
If there’s no argument for AD ever being top 5, yall got to keep that same energy for Joel Embiid. Embiid was put in the top 5 but he’s been a consistent playoff dropper. Personally, I never put Embiid as a top 5 player. AD has been a playoff raiser for most of his career, the only time AD was inconsistent in the playoffs was in 2023 but you can’t say the same thing about Embiid. If AD is overrated, then Embiid is overrated. AD is more underrated than overrated. There’s too much BS narratives about AD like him being injury prone but he’s been healthy the last 2 seasons and there’s narratives that AD can’t be a #1 guy but he puts up #1 production in the RS & PS before
1:18:25 why is dehl’s acting like Tatum is untouchable 😂😂 if luka was on the table his ass could definitely get traded, Tatum isn’t top 3 like Luka, let’s not be bias
You guys don't understand, this guy has been awful since the start, kept doing moves after moves overpaying and burning assets, and got some results guess thanks to who? To Luka f'ing Doncic. It's not that hard to build a team when you burn through EVERY SINGLE pick, including future swaps, Jalen Brunson, Kristaps Porzingis and on and on. But Luka carried the Mavs and this fool got convinced it was him. Smh
Luka wasn't healthy? The Mavs defense was bad? Dallas is a small market team? How are these idiots able to talk basketball for a living? It's insulting to real basketball fans. Joel is the only decent one here.
Most folks are ignorsnt, they think Dallas is a small market. I’d assume they don’t understand anything about markets, population, and how they correlate. Mavs are #4 media market and will pass Chicago within the decade to be #3. These guys think Boston is a bigger market haha 🤣
Why are we assuming Dallas makes the playoffs? They are the 11th seed with no alpha. Klay becomes useless and team morale is down. Which teams are they leapfrogging to get in the playoffs? only 8 make it.
AD is the alpha. He was the only reason LA was good don’t be a moron. Is he Luka? No, do the fans care anymore ? No, it’s Nico’s team and who cares about making the playoffs when your alphas get hurt every other game.
Go to our sponsor snhu.edu/pickaside and learn how you can get started with a Sports Management degree
its Malcom X, Tupac, Riv, and Durk im rolling with it 😂💯

100%
Nah fr they don’t know Dallas at all
Thanks saved me the time of watching this one
We need a live stream of Riv reffing.
this Ja hate coming off the heals of 25 and 11 with 3 steals when it’s been well documented that this new french offense is running the least amount of P&R’s this season and is putting Ja in unfamiliar spots is absolutely insane.
4:56 lmao i actually was gonna take classes at snhu thats funny asf
W!
3 hour pod? Yall on demon time.
Finally i’ve been waiting for you guys to drop after this Luka trade
I’m glad you guys didn’t spend long on the KD going back to the Warriors reports because it recently came out from Shams he doesn’t want to go back
He misses Kyrie.
*rubbing hand together like Birdman* I was waiting for this
Riv, Durk, Pac & Malcolm is crazy 😭😭😭
I’m comfortably watching the pod…. I pan up and I see a unsolicited pic of riv lmaoooooooo
To add on to Drew’s point, I’ve been a Mavs fan for 29 years and I am currently out on them. I find myself actively hoping they fail because that means Nico failed.
Shoutout to African American LEGEND DURKIO
15:02 🤣🤣🤣
Mavs told Luka he fat lazy and not worth a super max contract when you got guys like “Jaylen brown” making $300 million
Nico did. But actually it was other media and fans who said it. Mavs fans defended Luka till the end. Now it makes me sick seeing all the previous fat shamers turn a 180 and act like we were saying it. Fuck this hypocrisy
I thought that was Brittney Griner on the screen at first 😭
Dallas is a top 4 media market Laker fan dude
🔥🔥🔥

@ you’re underrating Kyrie and AD
@ So who doesnt make the playoffs then if the Mavs make it?
Current standings - OKC, Memphis, Rockets, Nuggets, Lakers, Clippers, Wolves, Kings, Suns, Warriors. You have to get rid of 3 of those teams.
@ keep in mind there are 30 games left, and the Mavs have to figure out their chemistry
Mavs at least play - in over GSW
Mavs just gave the Lakers a ticket to appeal the European masses, Slovenia is Lakeshow now, and Luka also played for Real Madrid basketball team.
Ant highlights are better than green’s. I’m sure yall are forgetting about that poster over Gabe Vincent that should’ve counted. He’s had at least 5 of the best 50 dunks of the past 25 years.
Even if Luka is 260-270 dude is just physically big, he is 6 foot 7.
Comfortably better than AD cmon bro? you can say he better but it’s close dont do that bro
As a broken hearted mavs fan, even I know AD is a top ELITE defender. Top three two way player, maybe only behind Gianni’s in that category. Nobody can stop joker, nobody can stop Luka, both make top defenders look average.
Yall just talk on her never heard so “yeah I heard you, but”😂😂😂
Sneed and mcduffie was the corners for the chiefs in that sb what is Joel talking about
They didn’t break out yet. That secondary was below average that year
Dehls stay salty about SGA

45 70 😂😂😂😂

Greeting nerds and virgins!!
I can't even follow what they are saying. I'm too distracted. How isn't he passing out from heat exhaustion wearing that jacket.

The Mavs weren’t better before or after the trade
