    Hope Slightly will never be traded to another Locked on podcast bc he’s the only reason I still Watch Mavs content 🤲🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

  9. @antykwanty

    Sad day for me. I love you guys. I love Mavs players, but I hate the organisation. I can't watch it any longer.

    I wish you all the best. I think Mavs content creators are one of the best ones which is another blow for me, but others are not as good.

  11. @gpierce85

    Can I interest anyone in a Christian Wood reunion? He is at least a Big body who has some offensive potential and can clog up the middle and try to alter shots at least. Plus who knows??? maybe he comes in and clicks with Kyrie better than he ever was able to with Luka. Would be massive if he did and we get AD, and Lively and Gaff back. We would be a massive lineup. And if Wood clicked with Kyrie and the offense thats a huge bonus and boost rotation wise. On a vet min contract too? Count me in…

  12. @Taiwaneverything

    The only good thing about all these injuries is that the benchies get a lot of burn. This will prepare them for next season, where it all will come together…. O-Max, Hardy, Williams, Kessler they all will grow immensely in the coming weeks, hopefully.

  13. @jumbokevin

    It's wild Dante Exum is not getting more minutes especially when Kyrie and Klay are out
    27 PTS in only 24 Minutes
    11/13 FG = 85% FG
    2/2 3PT = 100% 3P

  15. @ethanmiles821

    I cheer for the mavs but at what cost 😞 this was luka’s team man… i guess it wouldn’t matter if none of our centers were healthy

  18. @AnthonyWilliams840

    Starting lineup intros should be this from now til the end of the season.

    “Mavs fans on your feet. Let’s hear it for the starting lineup for your Dallas “Small Ball” Mavericks”

  19. @Thisisrance

    I’ll keep reposting on pods that I watch until Nick, Isaac,
    and Slighlty admit they were wrong on the pod and issue a public apology to AD, Max, Nico, and myself. Or will they block me for having an opinion? Signing Luka to a supermax would’ve been the equivalent of franchise suicide. Their pessimistic outlook, has added to the negativity surrounding the franchise, and their biased opinion on Luka’s conditioning and decline in production post-trade either shows a lack of awareness or a fear of repercussions.

  20. @dpend

    No first, second or third string centers for the next month to six weeks hahahaha what a joke of a season

  21. @AaronLovesWrestlingPodcast

    One thing I noticed is that Lakers gave Luka the Royal treatment his debut.

    Mavs didn’t do that for AD.

    Why weren’t there free AD shirts in the seats?

    Goes to show the difference with the management

    Mavs management is horrible.

    I love this team, but the management sucks.

  22. @mj8607

    Luka would have carried the game so Gaf wouldnt have gotten injured. Blame snake Cuban, Nico and the dumbont

  24. @정민영-b1c

    I think maybe we need to start thinking about a smooth tanking. Most optimistic outcome would be going into play in tournament. 10th seed, players coming back right before playoffs, get 8th seed and play against thunder and play locked in 100%. Not afraid of any other team in the west outside of Thunder, if of course we get back Lively, AD and Gafford going into the playoffs. Get into the late lottery and get a high upside pg/wing.

    kobe: 7.6, 15.4, 19.9

    giannis: 6.8, 12.7, 16.9 , 22.9

    sga: 10.9, 19, 23.7

    dirk: 8.2, 17.5, 21.8

    brunson: 9.3, 8.2, 12.6, 16.3, 24

    max christie: 3.1, 4.3, 9.3 and i know its still this season but given the chance to have a bigger role, that jumped to 17ppg. i know its just a small sample size but if he keeps getting chances he'll still be around 13-14ppg which is another consecutive jump in scoring.

    what these players have the most in common, besides not being that highly touted coming into the draft, they were absolute GYM RATS. i see that in christie. when i watch his demeanor and the way he plays on BOTH sides, i think he has the ability to become a superstar. next year is going to be huge for his career, because you either have it or you dont by the 3rd/4th year of your career. and next year is his fourth. im looking forward to it.

  33. @genatch

    Christie is a 22 year old Klay . Great defender excellent shooter , still improving . Exactly same body and height. Probably even stronger mentally. Lakers will cry for this trade. This is the Mavs I wanted to see . A TEAM , not Luka ball.

  34. @alexcamp9320

    Exum gave it to em but the league needs to investigate what’s going on with Hardy. The party’s been raided by the cops

  36. @swenpintat7331

    Jason Kidd is dead for me now on his comments in the press conference over the player we traded ! (Luka ) without Luka u would have been gone years ago ! Fire Nico and Jason Kidd

  38. @rjii3264

    I see us being a powerful play in team by the end of the regular season or we string together enough wins to be 6th place.

  39. @iswish_41

    The tone you two are taking regarding the protests and people complaining during games is kind of suspect. Have some 🥚 and critique management.

  40. @guillermofiscal4897

    I've been watching the Mavs for a while, and it's crazy seeing Mark Followill Skin and the gang going through the luka trade..the announcers, the crowd, everyone still trying to get over the hard breakup..die hard mavs fans can almost understand each other's feelings. I myself didnt even like Luka, I was always yelling at the tv for him to stop whinning and to get back on defense but i figured he would eventually get over it and knew that the city loved him..

  42. @duty-bounddead6788

    All of these injuries are a bad omen. Trading away Luka is the modern day “Curse of the Bambino.” History tells us that the Mavericks won’t win another championship for 86 years. 😢
