It's Arrested Development.
They are doing this to justify the move to LV
here since romo, not watching games rt now, but still watching locked on mavs.
You would still be complaining with 4 first round picks. If you trade for another star you aren’t getting a ton of picks. Normally, At best it’s role players and a few picks in a trade for a star. Though I would never trade him
You only get four 1sts if you sign and trade. LA got Luka on a one year rental and are going to have to try and resign him. If he was locked up for 4 years, it's a totally different deal.
So the Mavs screwed up because things got personal and they didn't want Luka to get the supermax from ANYONE, not just the Mavs.
Love hearing a shoutout to Mavs legend Tony Romo!
If you are a Mavs fan you should be celebrating that Lakers (Luka) winning. Dallas is going to tank now so there is no rivalry, Luka was loyal to the Dallas and wanted to spend his career there. So the more success Lakers have the more Nico looks like a fool. Which is what you want for a guy who betrayed someone who was loyal to your city.
Nico treating fans like employees
Dude Cuban is ridiculous. Sure having 3 additional unprotected 1st round picks would be better…. But Luka is significantly better than 99% of the of all player that go top 5 in the draft. Cooper Flagg likely won’t be as good as Luka… Wemby likely won’t be as good as Luka… Luka is a proven playoff winner at 25 years old. Players like that don’t grow on trees
Man, I am really sorry and sad for everything that happened. I really enjoyed listening to you three almost every day. Since I am from Slovenia, my fandom shifted with Luka to Lakers. Never thought that would happen…I wish you three could go with him and take over LockedOn Lakers. Anyway, keep up the good work.
The Lakers has won last night and they are #2 in the West. Luka has completely changed the Laker's offense and it's one of the hottest team.
Poverty Franchise
The Steve Nash pain was a slow burn that became more and more painful overtime with back to back MVP seasons, this was a nuclear explosion of pain that erupted overnight
U don't trade a player like Luka Doncic. EVER. but if you do, I want the WHOLE LA LAKERS ROSTER in return. Plus their 1st and 2nd round picks for the next 20 years. Then u have a deal 🤝
I'm not a Mavs fan at all, but started watching since the Luka trade and have been very impressed by this show.
Patrick Dumont needs to get in shape first if he wants to be the face of the Dallas Mavericks. "If u ain't in shape and don't work hard, u can't be a part of the Dallas Mavericks"
Mark post trade has NOT been here for fans, the shouting in that game doesn’t bother me, the lack of communication does. Hes still part of the org and loves to talk on twitter or now blue sky yet after the trade he was nowhere to be found. At this point, whatever Dirk thinks is what I think, Cuban was too little too late.
Also mark knows la didn’t have 4 firsts so that wouldn’t make sense.
I really hope Cuban wasn't getting any of the hate. I think it's straight up criminal that the owners kept him out of the loop until it was too late. He still owns shares in the team right? How do you keep a minority owner out of the loop in a decision that has ultimately cost him a fortune?
And I knew from the start that Cuban would've been against it because of what had happened with Nash. How Cuban's analytic guys were saying that Nash was done, his body is just gonna break down (and it did…just not as quickly as they estimated), and ultimately a contract was NOT worth it.
Well, Cuban learned from that. And sure, whoever is saying Luka's body is gonna be finished by 31 absolutely could be right. But since many NBA GOATs don't get really going until age 27 (LeBron, Shaq, Jordan, Jokic and many others were 27-ish when they got their first championship & planted their flag as GOATs) sooooo AT LEAST gimme until Luka is 27 before we jump ship on his conditioning & whatnot.
Anyway, it doesn't matter. YOU NEVER TRADE A FACE OF THE LEAGUE!!!! I said it on Day 1, when you do something like that it opens you up to a Sports Curse. And in the month since, how the fuck are the Mavs NOT cursed?
Nico is already a Laker Legend
MAVS are on a downward spiral without Luka’s court leadership.😮
The thing about tanking in this situation is this front office DOESN'T WANT this team to improve or be good. They want the bury this team into the ground and out of here. So even if they had a chance to get cooper, they would trade that chance away.
When Mark said… didn’t want his kid to make the mistake…. It was a knock on PATRICK for taking his job 🔥
Sorry Mark Cuban, but y'all need to stop your bullshit temper tantrums & more importantly, start respecting A.D. Your team management expressly solicited the Lakers to get the best defensive player in the NBA, and got exactly who they wanted in return for a player they were shopping on the premise of what they believed to be a flawed work ethic & poor physical condition. Wtf did you expect? You got one great First Team All NBA player, one very good 21 y.o. Max Christie, who will be great & one unprotected 1st Round draft pick (TBD), who might be better than all of them. You got plenty in return for a Luka Doncic. One player cannot be worth an entire team & the blatant disregard & disrespect for the players that now wear the Mavs uniform, is frankly disgusting & I hope when A.D. returns, that you feel the shame you so richly deserve. Kobe Bryant was traded for one player. ONE PLAYER!!!! Michael Jordan was selected AFTER Sam Bowie. Get over yourselves & try to appreciate the team & the players you have who, in spite of your offensive remarks & disrespect, deserve better.
Luka HOOKA 😅
There IS a best-case scenario for the Mavs, but it won't be likely. All players except Kyrie come back in full health to start next season, Max Christie blossoms into a star, they luck out in the lottery with a great pick, and Kyrie comes back healthy and rejuvenated after all-start break in time for a playoff push. Like I said, best-case, but not likely.
Mavericks fans should wear lakers 77 uniforms the rest of season in protest…
If i were a mavs fan, I'd have been sad but understanding if Luka had been traded for good value.
But for this dumb deal PLUS continually trash talking the star putting up huge numbers on his new team… while AD got injured then Kyrie…
I wasn't even a mavs fan and now I'm pushing for Luka success because this is BS.
Unfortunately, HOPE is all the Mavs have right now.
I just want to say my first podcast I listened to was when you guys were doing a draft profile on DSJ. I listened to it on the way to my summer class at utd, I was here then and I’m here now. Thanks for giving me something to listen to on my way to work.
nico wanted a brotherhood all euros out!!!!!
You guys deserve better team to cover
Honestly Cuban so annoying like shut up you sold the team
