  1. 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 couldn’t sign or trade any star players and now that there is a chance of this happening, everyone is against it 🤦‍♂️

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Please pay Reaves $100,000,000!!!! The Lakers are the kings of foolish investments.
    Lebron can’t force his way to Dallas. It won’t happen. Thank God for that. Trying to acquire Bronnie is going to be tricky as well.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. 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.

  10. If you’re Dallas you get Bron. Their “young pieces” really aren’t that good. Kyrie and Luka has been a complete failure so far, adding LeBron can only help the situation. If they don’t make a move soon they can kiss Luka goodbye.

  11. 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.

  12. It’s definitely a leverage move, but LeBron could pull a Rob Gronkowski type move and say he’ll retire if he’s 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.

  13. Lebron CAN go to Mavs if he really wanted to . At the end of the day it’s ALLLL about MONEY and LEBRON HAS MONEY . Lebron the type to negotiate a buy out . He’s 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

  14. And hate to break it to Isaac but dude Mavs don’t have any real pieces ! That’s a YMCA team. They fucked up getting rid of Doedoe and Spencer Dinwiddie

    Greene HAS got better, will get better but his peak won’t be what lebron is at his worst.
    THJ is 🗑️
    Bullock 🗑️
    Dwight Powell ? 🗑️ 🗑️🗑️🗑️
    CWood is a FA

    Hardy can’t get traded

    Exactly what real pieces do the Mavs have ? Lol

  15. Luka, LeBron and Kyrie would probably not get a 'Chip, but it would definitely be entertaining.

  16. 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

  17. Wow. It’s 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.

  18. 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

  19. 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.

  20. 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.

  21. Isaac interrupts himself and trails off too much. Sometimes sounds like he’s got peanut butter on the roof of his mouth. Overall, the pod’s a decent listen for Mavs sickos.

  22. STARTERS
    2023
    MOCK STARTERS

    C- KIA SOTTO 7'3", PF- LEBRON JAMES, SF- JADEN HARDY/A.J. LAWSON, UNCLE DREW, LUKA

  23. 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?

  24. 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

  25. Anybody saying they wouldn’t take Lebron is lying. It’s far fetched but this would be wild if it did happen.

  26. 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.
