But Luka did break records in that run… he had the three worst playoff series in NBA history for blow-by percentage in three straight series (breaking his own record twice!) The expected value of a Luka 1:1 defensive matchup hovering at 1.6 points per possession last post season 👍
@@DustySides oooh u one of those guys, now talk about him averaging 30+ / 9 / 8 in the playoffs. 35 against the clippers as a one man army. u gonna have fun with luka the coming years lmao i hope u aint no mavs fan
He averaged 4 turnovers and 5 assists (net 1 assist per game) in the finals, jacking up threes at an EV of 0.8 pts per possession while giving up 1.6 pts per possession. You’re giving up twice as many points as you score, but you still think that’s good. What do you expect when the avg adult american reads a 5th grade level tho, right?
I already thought that people are really, really undervaluing what the mavs did here in the short term. They'll be crazy, especially defensively, for the next 2-3 seasons for sure. After that though, what's left? A 36-year-old Kyrie and a 35-year-old AD, both of whom are relatively injury-prone? That's 100% less valuable than a 28-year-old prime Luka Doncic, no matter how bad he is defensively. Steph ain't great defensively, and he definitely wasn't during his best offensive years. They won 4 championships with him though because they invested in him and built a defensive juggernaut around him and his offense. The mavs took the easy way out here because they don't have confidence in their ability to build around Luka. They were already good defensively this year even WITH Luka, and were actually BETTER defensively before he got injured. Long-term this makes no sense and even short term you need to squint at it to make it look good. I don't think the mavs actually end up winning anything or even making it to the finals thanks to the OKC thunder anyways.
This talk about defense wins championships is true but are we forgetting that with Luka we were a top 5 defense last year. Or this year in the beginning we had good defensive ratings? Luka 1v1 is not a good defender but he makes up for it by having quick hands and good a good team defender.
They literally traded a 25 year old top 5 player that's in MVP conversations for an aging PF when they have Washington developing. They would have never made the Finals without Luka. - Harrison calls Luka injury prone because of conditioning, then trades for a guy that has a history of injuries. - Kyrie finally found a home and they blew up the team. - Klay went to play with Luka because he draws doubles and passes to the wing routinely. - They're "focusing on defense" then ate NINETY-ONE POINTS IN THE FIRST HALF AGAINST THE CAVS. There's no way this trade improves the Mavs. This is the same front office that lost Jalen Brunson and Kristaps Porzingis. Are you going to say the Spurs are going to suck with De'Aaron Fox next? It's like you're just grasping for straws to say something different when everyone else can see how bad this is.
@@backyardbuckets829 Are you even sure kyrie would pick up he's player option? No big free agent would ever come to Dallas after what they did to Luka
On paper this is not a bad trade in hindsight, except the fact Mavs should have gotten more draft capital. In reality the chemistry will not be there, Luka was the glue guy, now that he's gone, this team will achieve nothing.
Everybody hating on Nico but simple fact is Luka hasn't been Luka this year. It seems obvious that his commitment both physically and to the team going into the off-season was doubted. Nick pulled the trigger to get a superstar and the piece no one is talking about in max Christy who is a stud! This will be viewed as another genius move by Nico by end of next season IMO! MFFL!!!
Luka has been ran into the ground carrying that team on his back and he is allowed to have a bad season. At 25, a superstar, franchise player, who just took you to the NBA finals, you give up on him??? Embiid never went past the second round and he’s still in Philly. GMs job is to built the team around his best player and make sure they are in the position to fight for the chip on regular basis. Who the hell do you think you are with this team, 2002 Lakers? This Dallas team will not win a championship and will fall apart within the next year and a half. West is too good with so many young teams on the horizon and enough experienced teams like the Clippers and the Nuggets who can still ball. Nah, this was a flop from a lazy and sleazy GM whose ego couldn’t tolerate Luka. I really feel bad for the Mavs.
Chemistry is everything. They already know how emotional Kyrie is and has tendencies to throw tantrums yet they trade Morris and Luka. Gafford and Wash and lively are at their best because of Luka playmaking , now they don't even want to play. Their trust for the management has been broken thinking that if Luka got traded after what he has done for the team, then how about them?
Anyone who says Mavs won this trade (on a team stand point) should rethink their position. they are 1 injury away in getting booted out of the play in.
I agree. I also noticed that in the past week or so, PJ was bringing the ball up the court more, becoming more of a playmaker. I thought we were showcasing Gafford for a trade, but i am so glade we kept our bigs to pair with AD. I loved Luka's numbers, but defense wins championships.
Mav's fans gonna realize how good AD and invaluable he is "when healthy" and he has been healthy for 2 years missing only a few games even Christie have so much potential, people saying Reaves or Knecht would have been better instead of Christie, go look up Christie games when he's been a starter to the lakers, he's a legit 3 and D player unlike Reaves and Knecht
Good stuff but Luka more then his stats. He is the offensive and is a vortex to the defense and that is how this team is currently constructed for Luka. Can you win a championship with AD sure not sure he can with this current roster. The question is does AD have enough prime left? I worry there is not enough play makers. Spencer when over used a ball handler it’s turn over city same with hardy. So mavs will have to rely on exum and Kyrie primary to play make and get all these weapons the rock.. as a die hard mavs fan I hope I’m wrong but the window for sure is only this season and the next if Kyrie opts in….this year is a stretch at best given the injuries and the time left to gel as a team.
How this a genius nba is an offense game now yes the defense is high but the offense sucks. Dallas was successful because of the 2 guard combo luka and Bronson bring them to wcf. kyrie and luka bring them to the finals. If this is old school basketball this is genius but this is not.
They have a 2 man combo with him and AD still. Not only that teams are gonna have to double team both of them still so teammates are still gonna be very open. Davis can play the 5 when they want 5 shooters on the court. They have size, defense, and players who have proved that they are more than capable to score.
Dallas wasn’t successful. You obviously don’t know basketball. Dallas lost because Boston had a 7ft stretch big named Porzingis that nobody could stop when it mattered. Defense still wins championships 🥴🥴🥴

Hot take
@@backyardbuckets829 The only hot take is that this is somehow good for Dallas bruh.
I'm going to get back here when dallas loses in the play-in or gets smoked in the first round
And what do I get if they make the 2nd round a cookie?
@backyardbuckets829 you get the taste of being kinda right bro, isn't that enough?
@expr3sso132 can you at least Venmo me a dollar?
@@backyardbuckets829 can you if I end up being right?
@@backyardbuckets829you can post another video and say..Yupp I knew it
Nico Harrison never won a chip either and never had final appearance without Luka
Well yea…
And vice versa. Making the finals and getting curb stomped like a bunch of g-leaguers isn’t the accomplishment folks think it is.

Then they immediately allow 91 points in the first half to the Cavaliers, it's pretty obvious Luka isn't the problem.

he just said no to the Warriors and we just traded Luka so anything is possible

Exactly💯
We’re not winning shit without luka
Mavs destroyed by the Cavs with almost 50 points 😂🤥
Mav's fans gonna realize how good AD and invaluable he is "when healthy" and he has been healthy for 2 years missing only a few games

Lakers did this for tickets and jerseys.
