Gonna laugh if the Mavs are stripped of their first-round pick cuz Kidd couldn’t shut up
Jason Kidd opened his mouth and done fucked up
Jason Kidd to the league office: “Hit me”
Any punishment that isn’t the Mavs losing their draft pick entirely is useless. A fine will just be a slap on the wrist.
drug test for the coach
drop them to 14th lottery odds please. bump the rest of us (okc, bulls, raptors, wolves) 1 spot up
oh yeah they’re cooked
58 picks in the draft this year if Adam takes theirs away.
Saying you are blatantly tanking out loud is moronic, as I’d expect from the organization and Kidd (still funny how there’s an investigation into tanking for one game, some have been tanking for half the season)
Full circle for the Mavericks. They start the season complaining for an investigation and end the season with one.
Such a poorly run franchise.
simply hilarious
Kyrie shouldn’t have to be around such a toxic environment.
Lmao Cuban manages to get away from years of sexual harassment going rampant in the team’s front office, only for a comment from Jason Kidd to get him cooked. Karma a bitch you know he will be seething
I think most they will lose is like a pair of seconds tbh but it would be hilarious if they take their first rounder lol
Would legit be funny if Kidd costs the mavs a pick on his way out
With clear draft protections more common now, I wonder if they’ll change the odds for each so it won’t be so obvious which pick you would get based on where you are.
Tbf, it would be hilarious if it did impact their lottery odds this year.
If you want to tank, just don’t make it too obvious. Don’t go tell everyone I am tanking
NBA Investigation team is Luka Doncic’s father
Tanking the last few games to intentionally miss the play in so they can lock up like the 10th pick in the draft (with a pretty slim chance at getting a better pick) is something I can’t even wrap my head around. Embarrasing decision making.
Better investigate Portland and Utah too
REMOVE THE PROTECTIONS SILVER
Obviously, the funny outcome would be taking the pick, but inb4 they take second-rounders.
NBA big mad that they lost out on all that sweet Luka/Kyrie playoff ratings. /s
Kidd is a fucking idiot
The Mavs are finished
Bruh literally half the league is tanking, we tank 1 game and get an investigation?
LMAO
The whole situation has kind of been clown show, that said…
are they doing the same thing for Portland, Utah or other franchises that have not exactly been trying to win the last few weeks?
If you’re so mad about what the Mavs did, then change the incentives that made it a smart move.
Dame hasn’t played in a ton of games and Portland has been resting everybody and no one cared (just an example). This shit is so dumb.
Btw If it was my choice they would have won yesterday and played everybody but acting like the Mavs are the first to do this is moronic.
This whole “you can do something, but we fine you if you talk about it” nonsense investigations have got to stop
Mark cuban lol dude forgetting this is not shark tank
The first rule of tank club is don’t talk about tank club.
as a certified mark cuban hater this last week has been nirvana
…could the NBA take away their 1st round pick?
Meanwhile Blazers are just trying to casually stroll away while whistling like, “Don’t mind us, nothing to see here…”
if we’re gonna investigate this why don’t we give fans refunds for all the resting going on right now? i get they’re locked into seeds and id wanna sit them too but fans are literally paying hundreds to see their favorite stars play. i mean shit i’ll never buy a ticket to the last game of the season again.
If anything, Kidd’s doing Luka a favor. Gives him a very convenient (and justified) excuse to ask for a trade
Shameful behavior!
I think one of the funniest things about this is that kidd most likely won’t even face any internal repercussions for admitting this. Firing him, when Cuban said he was safe just a few days ago, feels like a huge admission of guilt and a lawsuit waiting to happen
Gonna be a quick one. Kidd already snitched.
Imagine if they took the first round pick off them that they tanked for
Luka is 100% out of there, what a fucking sinking ship of a franchise lmao
I understand this is in part because kidd spoke on it a bit further than other team do, but the nba still has to be really careful here, cause there are clearly some other teams doing the same to an even more blatantly extreme level except they didn’t outright say. Fining or taking only the mavs pick is gonna lead to can of worms being opened imo. Cuban won’t let it die that easily and he shouldn’t given what some of these other teams have done this season for a more prolonged period .
