Dallas Mavericks need to trade Kyrie and Davis and start over and build a young team like OKC. Kyrie and Davis will never be the same as the younger players are taking over the league
Kyrie stands, stand up now. We are built a different!
Mavericks went from a two cylinder to a one cylinder engine and it just blew a rod
9:10 😢facts I had to separate myself from the Mavs man slightly smh watching sparingly and sporadically cuz its been a draining season
You should wear the shirt I gave you at the Miami game! Worst Trade Ever keeps on giving.
The best podcast for the most irrelevant franchise
love the Laker jersey 😉
I’m not going to lie, this injury is making me laugh so hard!! 😂 Not because I don’t like Kyrie, love him! He’ll be okay. It’s the comedy of the Nico karma express visiting AGAIN!! Remember the curse of the Bambino??? Bienvenidos a La maldición de Luka!
I am not even a Mavs fan but you guys have become one of my favorite Pods not gonna lie. Pure entertainment
I hate everything
Better Help is printing money by sponsoring Locked On Mavs
Does Luka Dončič 77 and his 6 years means nothing to Dallas MAVS ? 🤢🤮
Who is gonna want to sign here?!?! The reason Klay and Kyrie wanted to be here was because Luka was here. And if the GM and owner treat their players like disposable and replaceable garbage who wants to come here??? Mark Cuban selling was such a horrible decision man, we just didn’t understand how bad.
In some decades this will be looked on as the biggest downfall of a franchise in less then 12 months. This has to be the worst management of literally anything ever.
Lakers fan. I feel awful for you guys. I remember after the Shaq / Kobe fallout, I was just a kid. My dad asked me “How does Kobe for Carmelo sound?” and I think I started crying. This is obviously 10x worse, but I feel so bad for kids in Dallas/Fort Worth area whose hero is Luka.
nick
we can have at least lock on luka on the side
This was a bad season starting Christmas Day with the Luka injury. Downhill from there…Good thing is there is only one way to go from here and that’s up.⬆️ Trying to stay positive for the future albeit the distant future.😂
Time to tank, sit everyone including Klay. Let max get experience, let g-league guys play and sign Kai jones over Kessler.
Worst luck ever with injuries it’s insane. Kyrie crying at the line what a warrior. Caleb Martin can’t play with a sore hip and Kyrie makes free throws with a torn ACL. Warrior.
This is hard, but this video helps me get through.
As Heat fan I feel sorry for you guys , that man Nico deserves to get kick out
Great show Nick, you are wonderful YT, leader and person. I will miss you guys, but I can't watch MAVS content anymore…
Tanking for a 9th or 10th pick just sounds ridiculous to me, Tank for a bench player 😂
I'm not a Mavs fan, but I was so looking forward to seeing what Kyrie and AD could do together
The truth is y'all DID get better in the short-term. Then tragedy. Sucks
BRO NO WAY THEY TRADER LUKA WTFFFF broooo WTFF!!!! 😭 whyy
Hold your head up stop the negative sure it' looks bad but let's give our players all our support at this time that's what they need at this time i will never give up just like them they won't give up.
Life of a Mav
ima Luka AD and Kyrie fan… not a Mavs fan like that bc of Nico so won't be watching til AD or Kyrie back but I'll check in here 👍🏿
SHUT IT DOWN, LETS GO HOME !
NBA Rigged.
Nick you have to move on from the trade, because all of this is because of injury, not the trade, because if Luca was still on the team and these injuries happen, we still would have lost the games that we’ve lost, and we still would be in this situation
Nico harrison comes from Nike where you supposed to think different and all that. Basketball isn’t like that. Legit everyone in the world knew the Luka trade was terrible for so many reasons. But this guy was like I’m gonna think different and do it. I just wish he had people in his corner to tell him this is the stupidest decision in the history of basketball. It’s unfortunate cause the mavs have no future. They r so cooked it’s not even funny. I rather be the 76ers cause they at least have maxey.
Words will never be able to describe how much I fking hte Nico Harrison. That twt ripped the soul out of the Mavs I've loved my whole life. The Mavs are dead to me, they died in sadness in a midnight trade with the dark side. Thanks for all the hype vids, Nick. I wish there was a way to know when you're actually IN the good ol days.
I know it's a freak accident by I still kinda blame the minutes increase. Just in terms of having him out for over 30 min a game increasing the odds of a freak accident. Especially for someone who gives it their all every minute like Kyrie.
AD might as well sit out the season.
Not gonna lie, I was a Celtics fan until the Mavs were born. Still like the Celtics, so I have always hated the Lakers. Nico made me a Lakers fan. Not really, but even though we will never have him back for 10-15 years the Lakers will always be must see tv because of Luka. LFFL Luka fan for life. I hope I can forgive Nico one day. I'm just not sure.
Can we get a 2nd channel called Locked on Luka now?
AD can’t be the only star on a team and it be successful. Luka is like iverson or Cleveland lebron he can be the only star on his team and still be exciting and successful. If Ky went down and luka was still here it would bad but still OK
Doctors & Scientist don’t know shit they all are liars n scammers. Flat Power 🗺️
I’m 38 and been a Mavericks fan since 13 and I never liked the Lakers but since the trade I haven’t felt the same I knew shit wasn’t going to be the same since Mark sold his share of the team 🤦🏾♂️ worse move ever followed by more terrible moves I dnt even want to hear or watch about basketball for the rest of my life the hell with it!!!
Kyrie got Injured because the Earth is Flat 🌎
Fan from SLOVENIA, felt awful after the trade, loved locked on, loved slightly, loved Isac and our common view of the lakers and lebron,… And now I am a laker fan, cannot leave our nations treasure behind…. Yet I still loved the team which was assambled around Luka, and to see Kai torn his ACL today was just another gut punch, after the trade,… still listening to you guys every morning at work, just got used to it the last couple of years,… Brothers Kamenetzky just dont hit the same, I am lost for words, dark times…
Why is everyone pretending that Luka isn’t playing terrible right now and hasn’t played terrible for the majority of the season? Before you say he’s not… he is.
I don't know what future you guys are talking about, you traded it away weeks ago. I love Kyrie and feel bad for him, but come on, even if the current Mavericks were fully healthy, they wouldn't make it far in the playoffs. Last year, the Mavericks made it to the finals because they had two players who could create for themselves and others, and they were both clutch. But even a fully healthy AD will put up great numbers for himself, but will he make anyone around him better? Has he ever shown any clutch gene in his career? The answer is no. So, all Dallas Mavericks fans need to switch to Lakers Nation and watch the magic happen with Luka. A fully healthy Luka will lead the Lakers to the finals this year. Add LeBron James to the mix, and you'll see amazing things happening in the upcoming months.
I’m gonna crash out 😭😭😭😭
And it will be because of Nico Harris that the Mavericks will win a championship and then none of you wanna kick him in the gut right now we’ll have the right to root for the Mavericks because you are not rooting for the team you’re rooting for one player who cannot win a championship on his ownHe has to have a team around him.
Luka future don’t look good if he stays fat 😂
And he never would’ve tried running through the lane at full speed into a 7 foot tall 280 pounds Center with a double team by DeRozan if he wasn’t overextending himself to try to help the team. Most of their injuries this year have happened because guys are trying too hard to do things beyond reason to make up for someone else being hurt or gone. It’s all about the load, not because the wear and tear made his knee more susceptible, but because he’s playing tired and pushing himself so he makes mental mistakes that can turn out to be disastrous.
