Brunson, DFS, and Dinwiddie are 3 key role players that helped the Mavs go to WCF! Mark Cuban is so dumb for not keeping these guys.
Oh and another problem luka and Kyrie need a differently built team around them. They have no defenders around them and no other truly good shooters and like 2 other decent scorers
I love how the microphones are part of the look now as if TV forgot that clip on mics exist 🤣
It's not on Luka or Kyrie is on the roster be hind them, indont get how they can hit the nail on the head about the FO at the start then blame Kyrie for the losses and not that they had a gutted team with two injured stars after the trade
Yall are missing something. Dont say that they went from the wcf to missing the play in amd its because brunson left. Even without brunson theabs were 4th innthe west before the trade. Its them losing brunson, finney smith and dinwidie all together
The front office and Mark Cuban are doing a horrific job.
Brunson was a big loss. Dallas’ past mistakes (KP trade, Dennis Smith Jr. debacle, and Harrison Barnes trades) are inexcusable. I hope they can sign Kyrie and Kyrie is happy in Dallas. I think Dallas is a wonderful city for Kyrie and Jaylen Brown. And paired with Luka, the trio can work exceptionally well. And Luka, needs to focus on the NBA or his country’s national team… no one can sustain both well long.
As rich as Cuban is he is cheap and can't rate talent
Steve Nash (Cuban "aww he's washed up") Nash "hold my beer 2 MVP's later" now in HOF.
Let Kristaps go now he is doing well for the Wizards.
Makes excuses about Brunson not realizing his defence, leadership and lets him go now he is balling out in New York
Mark Cuban is to blame for all of this
Irving might now resign and go to La or somewhere else
Luka might finally get fed up and ask for a trade
Then Dallas back to the basement
They acting like Jalen Brunson is gonna be half the player Steve nash is lol watch in the playoffs
Luka is a spoiled baby man
Loving the longer clips thank u ESPN
Not holding Luka accountable is ridiculous!
Always smearing Kyrie because he didn’t take that experimental drug
The Mavericks were the 6 seed in a good west each year even before Brunson was there. The only difference was they dont' have Kristaps anymore. When they had Kristaps they were on pace for 50 wins each season. Brunson was still a villanova. It was just KP, Doncic, Hardaway and Seth Curry.
Cuban and the Mavs aren't that far removed from the Voulgaris/Nelson/Carlisle beef, just saying. Cuban is somewhere between Croce and Sarver. There's way too much involvement at times, poor decision making with all-star talent in their prime, penny-pinching and ego at the wrong times, and way too many sexual harassment allegations.
I'm predicting one more Kyrie gaffe, no significant free-agent signings, a below .500 record, and a Luka trade demand, all before All-Star break next season, and possibly before Christmas.
Commas are important ESPN… the title implied that Mark Cuban was also exiting. There should have been a comma after Cuban.
No one wanna talk about how the Kyrie trade killed this team. Giving up depth for a guy who missed multiple games leaving the mavs with even less depth and then Kyrie stunk it up during a bad stretch
if i had the team ill make a winner
I dont even need money there a lot thirthssreee
good players
Stop with the nash thing.he never even made it to the finals after he left.mavs did
You guys got to stop saying “a hit dog gunna holler”. First it’s cruel to hit an animal. But second if you mouthy talking heads criticise people, and then they respond to your criticism, that’s their right. That’s exactly what you want as a pundit. But then you demean them with this imbecilic phrase? It’s stupid. It’s demeaning. Just stop.
no matter what that have kyrie n luka they good you have to bulid around that
its GM job to fix it sthey job
Any team you can see were it failed if you pay attention
You can’t have two alphas on a team. Two black holes, ball dominant players never work!
Kyries the problem get rid of him
Since the nbas been playing a positionIess ,3point era, I know 1 thing for a fact !! There is still a need for designated guards forwards and centres to structure a game plan and or run an offence. You can’t have 5 point guards, playing non stop ISOs and pick and rolls each trying to get in as many reps as possible . There is simply nothing in this universe stopping any head coach from giving players their specific roles each night so a team can remain in control of itself. And there is nothing stopping a coach from bringing back “the low post “ forward and centre to the tactics?? I don’t get the narrow mindedness the teams
without a good coach ,2 allstars and aren’t good enough yet to win in this 3 ball era ,just go ?? Righteo make some changes this game. Learn some half court plays , set some screens, get a big down low in the key at each end for some easier buckets or def presence and only one or two dominant ball handlers each night . Someone needs to be in control of a game at a times especially when they are teams in the lottery race.
