Watching the Mavs move off Luka Is like watching your 30yr old single buddy dump a 25yr old hottie because she is "too much fun" to go marry a high-end 33yr old woman with kids from two previous marriages because he wants to get serious about life.
Welcome to the meat grinder.
Mid 80’s Mavs, passing on a player who made the trek to Dallas multiple times before the draft when he was advertised as likely being the Mavs draft choice, but at the last moment the Mavs decided to draft Detlef Schremph (who the coach never scouted) instead of Karl Malone.
As a Mavs fan for nearly 30 years, I never thought anything would hurt more than "losing" to the Heat with all those phantom foul calls in the '06 Finals but I was wrong. My Mavs misery ranked:
1. Luka trade
2. '06 Finals
3. '07 Playoffs
4. '24 Finals
At this point, it’s the coaching or the staff. There’s no explanation to our bigs getting this hurt unless it’s “how” they are being told to play.
appreciate the Tarpley reference. He realy did change the course of the franchise. If he never goes out, we remain a playoff team for years, we never have a chance to draft Kidd, prob never end up hiring Don Nelson, no Dirk, and we're not having any of the conversations we are having today. The butterfly effect of that one incident completely altered the history of the Mavs as we know them.
Way to fight through it
They traded kid because of Jackson him and Jackson I think was dating the same celebrity
Hopefully someone reads this. Maybe Luka lied about the severity of the injury? When Pat Dumont says “if you want to take a vacation don’t do it with us”. Maybe he’s implying that the injury wasn’t a serious and Luka should have been back sooner?
MFFL for life baby
We got the old opening?
We doing misery rankings now, real mffl shit 💪
I still think the Luka trade was ordered by Adam Silver. With LeBron retiring soon the League wants to guarantee that the team with biggest international brand impact stays very popular. If Dallas is destroyed he doesn't care .
Nico and AIPAC family may punish Dirk for supporting Luka…..and just sell his statue
Mavericks organisation is very toxic environment.
After trading Luca, I want the remaining part of the Maverick season to just go catastrophically wrong. Maybe the owners will fire Nico at that point. I hate that players are getting injured though. Mavericks just need to sit Kyrie for the rest of the season, because it's only a matter of time before This obscene workload injures him as well.
i agree 2007 is nowhere close
Grat collection of old and hurt okayers
They should give Dirk a position in the Mavs. Maybe the new GM.
Getting Chandler Parsons : )
Ladies and gentleman pj Washington is our starting center…
We’re beyond cooked
Everyone KNEW this would happen. Now the Mavs gave away their future hall of fame player for a two way player that can't even stay healthy. Always Damaged Davis is way beyond his prime and now is just as injury prone as Joel Embed is these days!
Sure would be great to have a tall guard that’s good at rebounding and could take some of the offensive load off of kyrie….
Been listening to you 4 years, Isaac, and this was among your finest half hours. I got 2 laughs which is more than I’ve had over the last 10 days.
