Dallas Mavericks 2024 NBA Trade Deadline Preview + Luka Doncic Making HISTORY | Mavs News & Rumors



Dallas Mavericks 2024 NBA Trade Deadline Preview + Luka Doncic Making HISTORY | Mavs News & Rumors

We are nine days away from the NBA trade deadline and you’re watching Mavericks today by chat sports he’s Jeffrey cooperstein I am Harrison Graham we got to talk about this game last night CP we’re going to get to some other stuff kind of the Mavs roster outlook before

The deadline how things shake out but my goodness this was a wild one I mean they were down 77 to 61 at half time I literally text you I’m like 77 effing points I mean what is this team doing ridiculous and they shot 60% in the

First half and they were down 16 when you score 60 plus at halftime and are down by double digits much less 16 that’s a chance that’s just the modern day NBA but hey they had a hell of a third quarter I think they held the magic to just 12 points in the third

Quarter uh Jason kid went to a zone defense there to start the second half and it really flustered the magic and but let’s let’s not get it twisted we all know the reason they won this game the guy on the screen right here 4 5 9

And 15 he’s for the second time in his career had a 45 and 15 game he’s done it in the last five weeks only NBA player or only player in NBA history with multiple 45 and 15 and he’s done it in a five-week period here I mean the guy’s

Setting records like every other night it seems like uh he he was Sensational got to give Tim Hardway his flowers he he had another one of those heater games he had kind of been in like a mini slump the last few games and uh he kind of

Does that right like he go in these little funks for two or three games and then he’ll just drop 30 plus I mean he had the 41 point game on MLK day uh drops 36 here uh they needed all 36 of them because it wasn’t Luca wasn’t this

Wasn’t going to be a 73 Point Luka so he needed he needed only 45 and 15 you know who’s counting here but but he needed someone to run with him last yeah when Kyrie’s out he’s missed his fourth straight game I would be surprised if he played tomorrow night as well so that

Would make it five they need someone to step up and be that second scorer and Tim is done it basically lead this entire stretch here he’s been awesome like you said he was he was cold for a couple of games but other than that I mean he’s been really good for this team

This year and good year kind of after all the trade rumors in the offseason about Mavericks need to move and whatnot he’s kind of answered those and then some and by far for Jaden Hardy his best game of the year I mean I up to this

Point I would argue that he was more impactful last year for sure uh but 20 and seven on eight and nine shooting I don’t think anyone expects him to do that all the time but like there’s no reason that he can’t a guy that averages 10 points a game off the bench

Absolutely he we were remember we were talking about him being the Sixth Man coming into this year well be I assumed that Tim was going to get traded and I thought Hardy was going to assume that role as six man but he’s been a good the last couple of games these really

Starting to be aggressive on the offensive end which is something he really hasn’t been this season all he needs to be I mean that’s he he’s a scorer and the Seven assist thing is intriguing to me I mean absolutely if he can do more of that where he’s dishing a

Little bit like he’s not going to average haven’t died but he can give you two or three a night I mean he can be a piece for this team man I know his name’s going to be involved in a lot of trade rumors over the next week or so

But I think he can be a piece for this team uh whether it’s to go get a bigger player or whether it’s to be involved in Jason kid’s rotation going forward if nothing else you want him to play well for the next week because you want that

Trade value to go up if you do go make a splash so that was good to see and D live shout out to D live you just did a short on this named to the rising stars uh game congratulations to to him I mean one of his better games

Also 8 of n 20 11 I mean and he got whacked in the face W Carter inadvertently more or less punched him in the face and he uh he was bleeding all over Wendell ended up getting a flagrant one no harm no foul I think Carter tweeted after the game Adam and

Told him my bad and Lively said it’s all good so no bad no bad blood there but this team continues to just need Derrik Lively in every game I think he played 40 minutes last night as well so he’s been tremendous man I mean you can’t say

Enough good thing I like he’s an all rookie type of player man there’s no doubt about it the only problem is is that the other rookies in his position are chatt and Victor yeah I mean that’s why I say I said caliber but like he’s more than worthy of being at the rising

Stars challenge whatever they’re calling it these days so I think future allar is definitely a possibility for him so uh and look we continue to talk about when he’s not out there it it shows so it’s good Dwight pal was wearing goggles last night because he has an issue with his

Eye and he likes to get hit in the face a lot and then Lively hit in the face last night so goggles Lively it continues maybe maybe mask Lively it could be tomorrow mask Lively so we’ll see what happens they have a big game against Minnesota tomorrow so if you go

Mask Lively do you tuck the hair like under the mask some uh no hair would go around the mask I believe yeah I think it goes around I’m intrigued by mask Lively look but uh he was tremendous and uh I I I just wanted to throw it back to

Luca here for a this stretch for Luca has been unbelievable I mean look at this 73 points 10 boards s assists 28 10 and 17 in a loss mind you on the second night of a back toback in 46 minutes 43 minutes last night 459 and 15 I mean

This and he didn’t win Western Conference player of the week by the way that’s a joke it was Deon Booker it’s insane to me I just worry like I know he’s having to play more because Kyrie’s out right now but like well you you read

My mind because I this is kind of where I wanted to throw this discussion to he can’t keep playing this many just too much like I look he’s clearly better than James Harden I’m not making the comp but we saw this in Houston where absolutely he would play these crazy

Minutes and then he’d be gassed by the playoffs now I know Luca two years ago he was awesome throughout the playoffs I get all that but like it’s just not it’s not even just about this year like it’s not a sustainable career model where you’re playing 40 plus a night and it

It’s not just that he’s playing the minutes it’s that he’s playing the minutes and the usage rate the charts like he everything runs this guy oh by the way he’s still your best rebounder basically so just it’s too much they need Kyrie to get back soon

Man and God knows when he’s going to be back call me crazy his first game back just sit Luka like give them a I’m serious I know they need to play together because they have not done none of that in the year and a half they’ve played together but here’s actually what

I would do if I were Luka I would just not go to the all-star game I would go to Mexico for a week go Cabo it take whatever find NBA gives you whatever it is you can afford it I he needs some sort of rest and hopefully he can get it

Soon with Kyrie back I don’t like I said I don’t expect Kyrie to play tomorrow night but hopefully he’s back sooner rather than later yeah I remember when uh he was going to play through that injury and uh Kyrie himself said he was going to play through the injury and now

He’s about to miss five straight games not to be if you love what luuka and the Mavs are doing right now especially Luca hit that like button how can you not I mean I I just can’t get over the 73 point the 73 and they almost lost

I they needed 68 of those 73 it’s it was insane I tweeted this it was one of the great it was the greatest individual performance I’ve ever watched live I wasn’t in person for it but it was just ridiculous help us get to 200 likes on

Today’s show if you like what Luca is doing for the Mavericks hit that thumbs up icon pum the likes pump up the likes all right more to get into here in just a little bit but uh we do have priz pick as our sponsor listen daily Fantasy Made

Easy you’re not playing against Pros you’re not playing to get sharks it’s just you versus the stat projections you can play NBA you can do college basketball you can crossover sports with your picks you could also get going on Super Bowl Sunday here in about 12 days

That’s going to be fantastic uh Patrick Mahomes they got a little gim for you uh to hit the yeah Mavs fan as well uh hit the more on the passing there it’s a gimme half a yard obviously Isaiah Peko has been a touchdown machine this year I

Like him to find the end zone dvo Samuel is a great player but the Chiefs defend receiver really well at those corners but they don’t always defend running backs well out of the back field I like Christian mcaffry to have a big game receiving the football price.com CNS use

In the description all right Coupe uh we’re not really talking about specific trade rumors today but just kind of an overarching look at where things sit uh will the Mavs make a Trade N days away till that deadline and I do think you and I are in agreement that if a trade

Does not occur there’s a clear seal like I think the absolute best case scenario is probably the second round yeah I would say so without a trade if they don’t get an impact guy here in the next 10 in the next nine 10 days at the trade

Deadline or even in the buyout Market I don’t see this team going further second round yeah um today I just kind of wanted to break down kind of like the tiers that this roster is in right now so let’s start with the Untouchables I think these are your three these are the

Guys that will not be moved under any circumstance obviously Luca I think Kyrie is obviously still in that category and Derek Lively is in that category for me as well given his well Kyrie’s in it too because a it’s not that no teams would want him but if you

Traded him you’re not getting an upgrade like his value isn’t high enough where you can upgrade there so you’re not trading him and then and um Derek I I mean unless the Sixers decided to trade Joel and B but like yeah he’s he’s Untouchable based on what you could get

So uh I in complete agreement with that assessment and then these are the guys who I view as key pieces they’re not Untouchable but the Mavs would need a pretty big Hall in order to part with these guys at this point in time given how important they are to the team yeah

Dante exom and Derrick Jones two absolutely great free agent signings for the Mavericks um both of them are kind of struggling with injuries right now and they’re in and out of the lineup but they’ve been really important what makes them so valuable is just how how little

They cost for what they produce like if you’re if you’re trading them like I mean you either got to get some like pick compensation to then flip for another trade or that it has to be a part of like players like an All-Star almost and that’s definitely true with

Tim like at this point we’ve been hard on Tim in the past but like he he’s too important to tr I think it has to be for an All-Star absolutely he’s simply too important to this team right now and what they’re doing especially with Kyrie

Irving out Tim is the is the guy that has stepped up time and time again yeah then omx he isn’t necessarily critical to what this team is going to do this year but in terms of valuable asset he he falls into this category like you’re not just going to dump him for nothing

50 games into his care and I do still think he’s a critical piece in the future I have full belief in omx as the player he’s just not quite there yet the tools are there yes absolutely and they’ll keep developing him in the G League this year and I think he will be

A key part of this team uh in the future at least tradeables uh Grant Williams good sign he’s been playing better last couple of games so certainly not to what you know you’re hoping for consistently but maybe at least the point where you could flip him uh Jaden Hardy same deal

He’s playing better um I still love his potential but you’d have to be willing to flip him for for a clear rotation piece uh Josh GR kind of same deal just on a higher level like he’s a solid rotation player but like if you can upgrade I think you do and then Seth

Curry he’s probably more in that like salary filler type of mold but you know there might be a team that views him as a valuable sniper Off the Bench he just with the positional backload and inconsistent play out of him he just has not really found a rotation spot here

Yeah I think if the Mavs are are to make a deal at the deadline I think it’s going to involve one of these four guys more so likely the top three like you said Seth Curry is probably more of a salary matcher at this point but I think

Grant Williams and Josh Green still do have value throughout the league as well as Jaden Hardy because I mean look we saw he can he can score in a hurry and a lot of teams are looking for scoring he’s cheap too like there’s a lot of

Value there with h what bringing him on board does uh we mentioned Seth Curry as a potential salary guy definitely applies to uh these guys especially like a ran Holmes uh but even Cleveland pal I mean CBA we talked about off camera like he’s not thick enough to be a center

He’s too slow to play four so it’s like the Brothers cooked he too many injuries man it’s a shame too because like he was a damn good player for this team for a while and they signed him to that extension thinking he was going to be

That guy ended up getting hurt last year and really hasn’t recovered ran Holmes is absolutely cooked we know that he has I believe a player option for next year which I would assume he picks up and oh yeah we know Dwight Pal’s Dwight pal so

That’s all I got look I mean Dwight pal like Dwight pal is a great number three Center is but he’s he has to be the backup here and that’s a problem if if the difference between getting a trade done was 4 million and Dwight fou was the guy they wanted the Mavs are

Throwing him in there hopefully I say hopefully I I would think so um and then this is like the tway SL who care Marie Morris is the new Theo pins and he just at least can play a he can play a tick if you absolutely need him uh actually

The few times Lawson’s played he’s actually been all right I think AJ Lawson has a little something to him he he could be a guy Coupe that like if there’s some major shakeup at the deadline like where he like finds himself some more minutes you know what

I’m saying see that like if there’s a volume trade where you bring in one guy and ship out two or three like he could be a guy that gives you more M and Jason kid has shown shown that he will play AJ lson in certain games when the Mavs are

Short-handed he’s been in the rotation early and often in games before I’m not exactly sure how many more games he’s eligible to play cuz you have the 50 maximum on the two-way deals but I like AJ Lawson and I actually do think he has some value of these four yeah no doubt

About it all right what do you guys think will the Mavericks make a trade before the deadline yes or no I do think they will now it could be as little as like some you know 5 million guy off the bench but the Mavericks are typically

Pretty active Coupe like I I I if I had to guess 72% chance they make a trade yeah I would think I think they’re going to make a trade as well if I amended this and said are they going to make a major trade I would probably say no but

I do think they will make some sort of move whether how minor it’ll be remains to be seen and if they don’t make a trade they will do something in the buyout market like there will be a new player on this team within a week of the

Trade de I love a Gordon Hayward to the Mavericks rumor on a NBA trade deadline I’m in I’m in I’m in on that let’s make it happen all right uh he’s Coupe I’m Harrison shout out to Luca the guy’s been tearing it unbelievable uh we will

  1. The whole team needs help not just Luka he could help by not crying all the time and play some defense but I love Luka no matter what!

  2. Ok, I’m getting frustrated with the Kyrie situation now. If he has missed half of the games then logic says if we make the playoffs there is a good chance he will miss games.

  3. Have you noticed Lula’s rebounds have gone down some? I guess he is more focussed on D and also Lively helping g more has caused it which is a good thing

  4. People’s expectations were too high on Grant. I think I heard is fulfilling his role and we need to move other pieces especially to strengthen the 4 spot

  5. I hate when players decide when they want to play well when its close to the trade deadline its a good thing and a bad thing

  6. I've been a Tim Hardaway supporter for a while now. I honestly can't understand how Dallas Mavericks fans are so quick to suggest that we need to trade him away. As I've said time and time again Tim Hardaway is our SOLID 3rd scorer when Kyrie Irving is healthy. Trading him away will NOT fix anything because we need better defense and rebounding.
