I'm sure if they get a guy like that, they'll do anything in their power to keep such a superstar in their team forever, as I'm sure Mavericks are the epitome of loyalty and all.
Trust me Lakers will see the issues everyone is refusing to see because of his amazing numbers. Once he has played for the Lakers for a while you will see
@@jordanprice172 don't tell me how to be a fking fan. My Mavs Fandom is older than you. My Fandom is middle aged and tired. They traded our boy after taking us to the finals for no good reason, smearing his commitment and work ethic on the way out. That I cannot abide. Continue to support the team if you want to, don't you dare judge me as you do so. I'm out. Fk Nico.
The sad thing is that AD finally got to play with a real center for the first time in years, and he looked outstanding. And then..."I'M HERE!"... until he wasn't.
No season of sports in my entire sports watching history has ever gone as bad as this year’s Dallas Mavericks. From Luka yelling at Gobert to make the Finals, to this.
As Mavs Fan that's done with the Mavs until Nico/Dumont are gone, thank you for shitting on the Mavs. ESPN refuses to call out this organization leadership
@@martiijnno way this is true, Nico sounded confident with AD, the owners trashing Luka. The mavs DIDNT WANT LUKA!! I want to know how u got that assumption though!
@ because no single person with a functioning brain would ever voluntarily make this trade. its just too obvious imo. the fact that they only contacted the lakers (nba's golden child) at a time in which the nba's future was pretty unclear says enough for me. there wasn't really a clear favourite team or player for the future to - as a company trying to sell a product - get behind. i'm just speculating ofcourse but the stars are just aligning a bit too perfectly for the nba if you ask me. i think the league is waaaay more scripted and planned out than the public tends to believe.
Its same as it ever was. Groin pull is pretty standard for ad. No difference both these guys are gonna miss up to half a season every year. Its what they do.
I think Laker fans are in for a rude awakening with Luka. He WILL sustain another big injury this season that takes him out for multiple weeks; mark my words
At this point It's starting to be obvious that the Mavs medical staff is utter garbage considering the massive uptick in injuries and them letting AD play immediately... The entire Nico vs Luka feud happened because Luka was unhappy with them replacing the world class medical staff with what appears to be a bunch of clowns.
Mavs not only traded their best player Luka but also their IQ. From the front office to the coaches to the medical team to the players, how could you allow AD played 31mins out of 34mins in his 1st game from injury, this is purely low IQ. The trade already happened, why rush to prove a point?! Just dumb.
He was just okay. He will need to adapt, Lebron still run things. Look how Westbrook looked in Lakers, that might happen to Luka as well, his stats will go down.
nah luka wasnt even healthy for the playoffs the past couple years, bro was out there with icepacks covering half his body and the oil magnate team owner came out questioning his commitment to winning
I love Ad but we all knew he wasn’t the future for the team when bron is done in the nba pass the torch to Ad but it’s Luka now also it’s crazy how many injuries he’s had he played great but always injured so it’s gonna be ruff for mav fans because how long can he stay healthy without getting a injury and it was non contact injury !! Love Ad wish the best of luck to him and Luka in LA
Whats unfortunate but a little funny is that this is part of the reason why the mavs apparently traded luka in the first place worried about his long term health. I hope AD has a speedy recovery
Mavs gonna go on a winning streak cuz of the the Cone Curs3 😂 nah but in all seriousness it’s going exactly as expected. AD is a great player but injury prone and towards the end of his prime. As a Mavs fan I’ve made peace with the idea that Nico Harrison actually had a good reason for this trade, he simply didn’t. Whether it was politics or ego, the Mavs are being doomed to the shadow realm within the next 5 years
legit question - if A.D. did not have the injury history we've seen from him in the lst few years... and let's say Bubble A.D. continued to be Bubble A.D. since 2020... no injuries, fully available, locked in every night, and hitting jumpers like KAT (40/50/90 kinda stats), and a legit DPOY candidate every single year..... would that have have made the Luka trade worth it?
Idk why the Lakers refused to get a real center when AD was there this year. AD looked amazing back at the 4 with another rim protecting lob threat next to him.
I Lol'ed when reports said Pelinka pulled out the 1st round picks from the trade because he was concerned about Lukas conditioning/ Health. Did he really forget who he was trading? A guy Monickered Mr. Glass, Street Clothes Davis. Pelinka outsmarted Nico Harrison? Yeah Thats Complete BS. NO GM Is That STUPID. This was an obvious call from the higher ups.
You just have to know how to use him. He can still get Dallas to the finals!!! He still looks much better than Luca in his first game! AD took over the game, Luca looks like just another role player with the media hyping him up! Give me AD any day of the week! He looked like he was hooping with high school kids!
Make sure he healthy simple as that, oh BTW also make sure their center is healthy cus they literally don't had any center except young player cus gafford, lively, and Powell injured
I'm not worried in the least AD looked amazing sure he got injured but everyone has been injured this season. Mavericks are also not done making moves after this season they will become berter
I admire your optimism but I don’t think so man. AD showed that he can’t push himself like that without risking injury. Thats why he disappears for games at times. You can’t afford to lose many games in the west and he’s gonna be out for a decent chunk of time. You don’t have many assets to make a ton of moves and free agents are not gonna be lining up to join the mavs the ownership and front office has a terrible reputation right now and the way they’ve continued to bad mouth Luka post trade and throw him under the bus will definitely rub a lot of players the wrong way. And AD will be another year older, with more injuries on his body, and the west will continue to be a lions den. I just don’t see it
Nah. If AD actually plays hard like we need him to, he gets hurt. If he goes half ass, it’ll bring the rest of the team down. I’m fucking sick of watching teams with superstars with such spotty availability
@Nice-sm5hr Brother he played 70 games last year and 40 this year averaging like 25/12/4 with 1stl and 2blks. We don't need him to torture himself just to play to his own standards as much as he can. I don't care if he takes rest of the season offs as long as he can fix that abdominal issue In all honesty on alot of nights he will have to do less with Klay Max and just the threat of AD will give Kyrie more room to operate be it cuts or pick n pops or hand offs. When everyone is healthy ppl will see having Kyrie and Klay with AD sounds like a nightmare. On defense Mavs will eventually have PJ, AD and Gadford or Lively
But the mavs may not even make the playoffs. And then imagine Kyrie walking out (to play for... the lakers for example?). Lakers have years to build a team around luka now, don't worry about them.
@ Kyrie as the primary playmaker has worked for one playoff series his career and that was 7 years ago when he had much less mileage on his lower body I’m not worried about his defence I’m worried about his playmaking
Luca has been playing professional ball since he was 15 so he has 10 years of mileage playing against adults and both of his knees have been bleeding for the last two seasons I'm sure AD will be more healthy than Luca is.
I’m a Mavs fan and yep. Laker fans are in for a rude awakening. Watch how fast they start calling him a bum. Whereas we stuck with him through everything.
Cone, I love you and your content. But you jump to conclusions more often than Ja tries to poster people 😂 Luka could get a torn ACL in his first game (hope not) can't do anything about injuries can you?
The amount of delusional cope I'm seeing in these comments from some apparent Mavs fans is borderline disturbing. I'm not even joking, it's genuinely sorta unsettling.
Man if only Dallas had a guy that could lead this team to the finals averaging 34,9,and 9. I feel like this team could win it all
second highest postseason ppg all-time and they trade him for AD and max christie 😢
I'm sure if they get a guy like that, they'll do anything in their power to keep such a superstar in their team forever, as I'm sure Mavericks are the epitome of loyalty and all.
Loyalty never fades !
Any team would but I don’t think there is such a thing a thing
This season they were 11th before the trade....
Of course the Lakers unload AD and get a generational player. And of course AD gets hurt immediately
Trust me Lakers will see the issues everyone is refusing to see because of his amazing numbers. Once he has played for the Lakers for a while you will see
anthony day to day davis strikes again
@@deathitself6985😂😂 yeah so many issues that they went to the finals on his back.
Don't do drugs kids
@@-kBSplnp who are you commenting to?
Poor AD was tryin his best to cheer up the crowd too. True class player I hope recovers soon and thrive in Dallas
Very true and you have to really appreciate that kinda person 💯
I feel bad for the guy. As a former Mavs fan, we're all just hurting over the one who got away. Ain't ADs fault, we know that. Wish him the best.
He pushed himself too hard and got injured
@bandjolyn former mavs fan? Wasn't a fan then if your a 'former' fan lol
@@jordanprice172 don't tell me how to be a fking fan. My Mavs Fandom is older than you. My Fandom is middle aged and tired.

We are all mad. F Nico.
No season of sports in my entire sports watching history has ever gone as bad as this year’s Dallas Mavericks. From Luka yelling at Gobert to make the Finals, to this.
Nico and the addledsons - whose got the Crack yall
They want the team to go to vegas@@-kBSplnp

So many more that we could add to this list.
@@mundanemorselsmundanemorse7028 none of those teams traded away a consensus top 5 player in their prime for an injury prone , AGING guy
he said "im here" to the mavs doctor.
As Mavs Fan that's done with the Mavs until Nico/Dumont are gone, thank you for shitting on the Mavs. ESPN refuses to call out this organization leadership

"The trade already happened, why rush to prove a point?!"
Because they're...dumb.
Pain. All pain all the time.
Got the full AD experience in one game.
Stop this cookie cutter comment please
@Nice-sm5hr sure
Didn't SAS say the Mavs were gonna be the 1 seed ROFL
More like the 11 seed - I think they likely miss the play in
When Anthony Davis said “Am here!” after a great first quarter, he was telling the Medical staff “Am here!!”
LMFAO
*I'M here
Well Max Christie is underrated. But yeah bad luck with that AD injury.
I actually feel so bad for AD. A 40/20 game would’ve done a lot of good PR.
Luka masterclass tonight?
Probablt

He was just okay. He will need to adapt, Lebron still run things. Look how Westbrook looked in Lakers, that might happen to Luka as well, his stats will go down.
@@Zemlja_je_ravnachill Luka hasn’t played in like 6 weeks it’s gonna take a little while to adapt

Crack is a helluva drug
I want whatever copium you're smoking. That's sounds like some damn good shit!
Bro, Luka just carried them to the Finals last season 😂
@@dddoftttontheyt7770 I’m a Mavs fan and no he didn’t. Sick of people who never watched Dallas saying this
AD continuing to get hurt more at the 4, as is tradition.
Now they've lost AD, Gafford, PJ and Lively.
cone jinx bouta be insane after this

Whats unfortunate but a little funny is that this is part of the reason why the mavs apparently traded luka in the first place worried about his long term health. I hope AD has a speedy recovery
That is what they said. Don’t believe everything you see on TV
It was also big that the mavs gave Luka away for nothing.. big for the Lakers that is
Corruption
It's a racketeering league beholden to the Vegas bingo halls
Welp, he really was there... Until he wasn't
6:27 this photo caused me trauma👀Ouch😔
Mavs gonna go on a winning streak cuz of the the Cone Curs3 😂 nah but in all seriousness it’s going exactly as expected. AD is a great player but injury prone and towards the end of his prime.

We aren’t winning shit lol I want the team gone to Vegas so we can start from scratch
lakers Gms like shiiii they dodged a bullet 😂😂😂
10:37 I think you might be misremembering it. Halfway through the season, especially after the All-Star Break, it was clear that Kyrie was gone
But i thought they got ad because they were worried about lukas conditioning and injury risk?
Do you believe the news too? Consider the possibility that was just a cover story
Kyrie isn't leaving Dallas. He likes AD and wants to play with him.
I'd say fire Nico but it appears that the new owners were onboard. I don't think they were willing to pay the luxury tax after extending Luka.
Of course the owners were on board. They are literally required to sign off on trade made by their GM. They have final say.
legit question - if A.D. did not have the injury history we've seen from him in the lst few years... and let's say Bubble A.D. continued to be Bubble A.D. since 2020... no injuries, fully available, locked in every night, and hitting jumpers like KAT (40/50/90 kinda stats), and a legit DPOY candidate every single year..... would that have have made the Luka trade worth it?
IF that's the keyword IF
Ad always been injured if he plays hard like he did he brakes it was a stupid trade
Idk why the Lakers refused to get a real center when AD was there this year. AD looked amazing back at the 4 with another rim protecting lob threat next to him.
Which shows you how little respect or care they had for him.
Dallas fans going through it damn the eagles win and minutes later Davis is out again
They traded Luka. The mavs are dead to me.
I Lol'ed when reports said Pelinka pulled out the 1st round picks from the trade because he was concerned about Lukas conditioning/ Health. Did he really forget who he was trading?

I mean you got to trim the mark make hay when the sun is shining.
It was good for 7 minutes........
Hope kyrie walks , you cant the luka has him shell shocked and hurt why should he be loyal and re up in dallas
Or maybe he didn’t like playing Luka ball
Hold this L
You just have to know how to use him. He can still get Dallas to the finals!!! He still looks much better than Luca in his first game!
