If it was real, would you want Luka, Kyrie, & Lebron on the Mavs at the same time?
You ainât mffl if you want to take dusty old lebron
Lemme guess… LeBron wouldn't be a good fit đ
How are mavs fans so against the team acquiring the 2nd best player of all time ??? Even at 38 Lebron is still a top 15 player in the league. First the narrative around Dallas is that they couldnât sign or trade any star players and now that there is a chance of this happening, everyone is against it đ¤Śââď¸
NOOOOOOOOOO…
This is like when the Cavs brought Shaq to Cleveland.
Kyrie might be a worse GM than LBJ.
Yes please. This would be magnificent. A real super team with 3 real allstars playing at a high level. Not just name recognition like Cp3 who i respect but lets be honest, paul is on the downside. Lastly nobody seems to want to say this so i will. Kyrie shared a history lesson about his ancestors before they got off the slave boats. The ADL, yall know who that is, came after Kyrie. They hate Kyrie. So why in TF would Kyrie got to Hollywood, he left the New york area to get the hell away from those crazies. Now everyone floating the idea that kyrie want to go to Hollywood where the crazies are thick as honey. Stop this ok. Kyrie not going anywhere near Los Angeles ok. Bron to Dallas, book it.
Trading for Lebron would be pick idioticism. I agree that it is a leverage play. I fully expect Mavs to re-sign Kyrie to a max contract and then trade him away at the trade deadline.
*On today's 2nd show!
Two pods for the price of 1 day in Europe.
Does James play defense?
No?
Then they don't need him.
Sign and Trade Kyrie/10th pick, 27 / for AD.
It would be if Dirk started espousing the benefits of a 1939 German-styled economy. Lebron is beyond the pale. His support of the Chinese
Governments political structure for financial gain is sickening.
Please pay Reaves $100,000,000!!!! The Lakers are the kings of foolish investments.
Lebron canât force his way to Dallas. It wonât happen. Thank God for that. Trying to acquire Bronnie is going to be tricky as well.
Matty healy is actually a cool dude, surprisingly. You should watch his adam freidland show appearance. Adam freidland is a very talented young lady.
Toss the Brick idea back to the left coast. On the other hand if you want to ruin the Mav's: invite the failing King of buckets. I will no longer be a Mav's fan if something like this happens.
I'm gonna post this because I just wanna help the channel but fermented cabbage with a bunch of hot salsa in a taco can be good and it's really good for the gut. This is coming from someone who had to deep dive because of stage 3B colo-rectal cancer. Don't rule it out. Sorry. I could've just written "a comment" and done the same thing.
Giving up any real assets for a 39 year old LeBron is a MISTAKE. At best you're getting a good (not great) player for 1 year
D I S G U S T I N G. Such a relief there's no way it can happen….this coming season. Stay TF away from LeBron. Send Kyrie to L.A. for the young depth of the Lakers if need be.
If youâre Dallas you get Bron. Their âyoung piecesâ really arenât that good. Kyrie and Luka has been a complete failure so far, adding LeBron can only help the situation. If they donât make a move soon they can kiss Luka goodbye.
No comment
Mavs get Cam Johnson, Royce O'neal, Cam thomas
Lakers get Kyrie
Brooklyn gets DLO,Beasley ( Dallas 10th pick, Lakers 17th pick & Lakers 2029 1st round pick)
It's win win for everybody, Mavs gets Kyrie to sign 4 year 220million, then mid season Kyrie request for trade, Mavs hand will be forced.
Itâs definitely a leverage move, but LeBron could pull a Rob Gronkowski type move and say heâll retire if heâs not in Dallas next year. A little different since Gronk threatened it to avoid a trade, but LeBron could do it to force a trade to a specific team.
Who is going to play defence in dallasđ¤
Lebron CAN go to Mavs if he really wanted to . At the end of the day itâs ALLLL about MONEY and LEBRON HAS MONEY . Lebron the type to negotiate a buy out . Heâs the type of player who would take less than his buyout that way lakers save money and Then come over here or B trade Maxi, Bullock, THJ, and that top pick
And hate to break it to Isaac but dude Mavs donât have any real pieces ! Thatâs a YMCA team. They fucked up getting rid of Doedoe and Spencer Dinwiddie
Greene HAS got better, will get better but his peak wonât be what lebron is at his worst.
THJ is đď¸
Bullock đď¸
Dwight Powell ? đď¸ đď¸đď¸đď¸
CWood is a FA
Hardy canât get traded
Exactly what real pieces do the Mavs have ? Lol
Luka, LeBron and Kyrie would probably not get a 'Chip, but it would definitely be entertaining.
Homie just donât wanna have to cheer for bron đđđ
this is for sure a Kyrie leverage play. Haynes said dallas tried to trade for lebron last season, but he was ineligible. Even if dallas offered Luka, the Lakers by rule couldn't trade Lebron
Wow. Itâs crazy how stupid it was to go into the Kyrie business. If the Lakers actually want to unload DLO onto the Mavs in order to get Kyrie, and Kyrie plays along, tell Kyrie to go pound sand and let him deal with whatever the free market gives him.
Itâs a leverage move
Mavs fans thinking one way that Bron won't come to Mavs, It's a leverage play but think again
Bron likes Kyrie, Luka
Bron loves Jason Kid & Jared Dudley
Bron went ST Vincent ST Marrys school only because one of his buddy couldn't get to the other school, So Bron sacrificed a good school to go play with his buddy
Bron's next year is a player option, Mavs can renegotiate the deal
This is a leverage play from Kyrie to get to L.A. "I really want to play with Lebron. Oh, he can't come to Dallas because that's literally impossible unless you trade the entire rest of the team and he's not a free agent? Oh how about I just come to Los Angeles…"
Also, the story about the Mavericks looking to trade for Lebron earlier this year is complete nonsense or somebody in the Mavericks front office is an idiot. Lebron had a no-trade clause in his contract because he just signed his extension, so it literally couldn't happen.
We cant even afford a decent center, we are not getting Lebron
THIS IS WHY I LOVE LOVE LOVE ISAAC!!!!! AGREE %100!!!
And to assume Luka would like this, I think, is short sided. Are you sure Luka wants to be 3rd fiddle. The confusion on who's team it is would be a thing. And who takes the last shot and who plays the worst Defense Kyrie, Lebro , or Luka. This would be a disaster for everyone involved.
Isaac interrupts himself and trails off too much. Sometimes sounds like heâs got peanut butter on the roof of his mouth. Overall, the podâs a decent listen for Mavs sickos.
Iâll love to see Issac on the media day interview!!đđ
STARTERS
2023
MOCK STARTERS
C- KIA SOTTO 7'3", PF- LEBRON JAMES, SF- JADEN HARDY/A.J. LAWSON, UNCLE DREW, LUKA
SOOOO WOODS WON 3 GAMES FOR THE MAVS SINGLE HANDLY SO TELL ME WHAT ROLL PLAYER THE MAVS HAVE THAT CAN DO THAT? WOOD DIDN'T SCORE 20 IN A 3RD QTR WHILE LUKA WAS PUTIN UP BRICKS? WOOD DIDN'T BLOCK A SHOT AGAINST THE LAKERS TO SEND LUKAS 50 POINT GAME INTO OVER TIME?
Yes, with Luka shoulder to lean on for LeBron. All LeBron needs to do is focus more on the small stuff and let Luka run the show, he can't do that with AD who needs LeBron to be in his prime
Giving up josh green and jaden hardy for Lebron isnt worth it imo
Anybody saying they wouldnât take Lebron is lying. Itâs far fetched but this would be wild if it did happen.
Nick asked lebron does he want to join your raccoon squad MFFL
Maybe LeBron brings Draymond with him then im all in for it đ
LMAO! I told everyone to be prepared that Kai might leave. This is another proof. Powerplay from Kai to the Lakers organization. I think he'll sign with the Mavs but this is a different type of mental games with the Mavs FO.
Loved Bron. But heck no not doing a trade that involves draft picks and young players
With all due respect… Isaac looks ridiculous just hating on lebron all the time, not to mention unprofessional.
