The ONLY reason the trade is horrible is BECAUSE you gave up Luka. But I wish everyone would stop pretending like AD isn’t an amazing player who is elite offensively and defensively. Yes Luka is an iconic player and the Mavs will hate this deal 5 years down the line. But AD right now with Lively, Kyrie, PJ, Klay, Max Christie, Dinwiddie, Naji Marshall, Gafford, Exum is a SQUAD.
The Mavs secondary ball handler/initiators is a group of Dinwiddie and Dante Exum. How does Kyrie deal with OKC’s length with no other creators? What about double teams? What about the offensive spacing with AD at the 4?

well, I still remember last year. no one is picking the dallas mavericks to make it to the finals over okc, wolves or any other teams. and when the mavs get to the finals, the tv media, content creators and other media channels are like: "Mavs will win the Finals."
you are comparing duos, why not look who's got the deepest bench in the western conference.. its Dallas. They have 7 guys who can score in double figures in any given night, and still play great defense.
As stacked as the Mavs are, they are questioning if we are contenders? This is the problem when you only look at records and standings. We’ve clearly had issues with that this year. We haven’t had Luka since Christmas! We’ve also had other injuries and even still, most of our loses were very close. Not all, but most! As for Lively being injured a lot, it was mostly freak injuries last year. His injury this year is legit though. At any rate we haven’t Gafford and AD. We will be ok at the 5 until playoffs!

Gafford will dunk all over Jokic slow ass. He never plays good against Gafford, he has too much athleticism. Mavs are better and ready to win now they just need another ball handler.
Their record doesn't reflect their championship contender roster. They easily clear top 3 in the west and they are now built to beat both Denver and OKC when completely healthy. Although playing dinwiddie as your 2nd shot creator feels like a major downgrade from luka and he isn't locking defenders either. Also Kidd completely forgets to run plays for Klay past the 1st quarter and lets dinwiddie play the luka role too much.
@@ghostface3652 exactly the notion that kyrie and ad are second options is crazy because kyrie really never had a chance because of injuries in his first season in Boston they were the first seed then the next season the chemistry was bad because they overachieved with kyrie out and some of the young players like rozier wanted a bigger role and it ruined everything it didn't help that Kyrie didn't develop into the leader he is now but that's the main reason this media driven narrative that he can't be the first option came from but hey everyone has their own opinions.

Exactly!
I have the Mavs going to the finals and I'm not even a Mavs fan

Hard to win a Championship without a top 5 talent. Kyrie averaged 14 ppg in the finals and has never led a team on any type of deep playoff run.
kyrie, Klay, and ad is tough plus role players is a tough squad
I think it all depends on health but there defense is going to be so strong and good they're going to make it tough for a lot of teams in the nba.🏀
I’m a Laker fan. I’m telling you AD IS A MONSTER All NBA. Max Christie is really good and 21. Dallas is very much a contender.

0:19 lmfao grimes is not better than Caleb martin….horrible talent assessment man
No one on the panel called this out. Sad
Christie is great at the wing and a good defender. You watch.
beat okc 3 times and boston without AD, PJ and martin
Plus OKC struggles with size.
NO WAY.......this will be dissaster.
AD years in Laker with Bron never made him fully reached his ceiling. Reason is, LeBron...
It's crazy hearing folks refer to pro athletes as second options. Like they didn't play a huge role in the ring they have.

this people dont know what they're saying 😂

Do you guys noticed that they only were able to beat OKC and Denver while playing without Luka !!!
Let's see how good they do now that okc has their center back
Even with Chet, they're still undersized

I saw Kyrie get shut down against okc & The Celtics. I'll be shocked if they get past the second round.
If lively injury prone...so is chet
Jamal Murray a alpha number 1? Since the fuck when lol that’s a major 🧢
Murray is a great closer but even RW at his age still a better fit next to Jokic than Murray
Get Ben Simmons at PG
No they are both 2nd options
Gotta stop with bs ESPN narratives

Grimes is def better than Martin. Wish we would of kept him. Like him alot
They arnt even going to win a playoff series😂
They not beating Denver or okc imo but they can cook against any other team in the west
Okc has never given mavs an issue, no matter who’s been out
pj washington single handedly can give the thunder a run for their money lol
