I thought Nico was fired what I’m I missing here
Sure nico knew they wouldnt get into the playoffs thats why he didnt trade the pick … perk is the most stupid „expert“ if ever seen.
Yall keep saying nico. he really doesn't run the show, if nico made the decision to trade luka himself he would've been fired a long yimf ago
Jay please stop saying “world” championship 🤡
The lottery is rigged by the nba, nfl should npt do that
Mavericks have AD at PF. Giannis makes no sense. With traditional centers, and AD, Mavs have a spacing issues on offense, and Giannis, even if he plays SF, can't shoot 3s.
Big coming to the heat
3:30 He cannot win a world championship with a National league team.
Poor journalism
The celtics are a perfect destination for Giannis
Perkins hates Giannis 12 years straight
Nico didnt do crap except to sabatoge the Mavs – we just got lucky, he still needs to be fired
Yes getting cooper flag is amazing but you gotta win the championship first
Lmao, Nico keeps failing up in his career despite disastrous events. Perk acting like Nico grand schemed this lottery pick
Perk getting cooked! Should have listened to what he was being asked
Only thing that matters in the last 20 seconds. Perk is on to something.
Trade number 1 to get him I would
Flag not playing against big boys. Maybe couple years hit the weight room few more pounds but he's not gonna be going to the hole that easy. If you can trade do it. More money but pick flag you better go get someone giannis is a beast
ad will be much better too. Can play a true forward not center too
You all think the draft is like the 80s. Number 1 now wouldn't be a top 10 or 15 then
Stop going to the West people!!!
Cooper not better than luka 😂😂 so even though they won draft still dumb
World Championship? Nico's going to bring the Dallas Mavericks to the Olympics & FIBA World Championships? Now that's asking too much, Jay Will. Hahahaha.
Perk is a moron
Ppl are pushing for Giannis to go to Dallas but were upset when LeBron and KD jumped to other teams. And I am aware Giannis already won a title on his own.
The pick has nothing to do with Nico if it's just randomly chosen, so if that's the case why feel different about somebody simply because they got lucky? 😂 Also, still don't know what he's going to do with said pick
The Las Vegas Mavericks. ESPN playing its part
Perk nobidy is a sure bet, anything can hapoen
Corporate media sucks. Nothing but propaganda
Perk smart as f**k😮
Perks confused look never gets old
To answer the question… it shouldn't change. Nico has nothing to do with the Mavs getting the #1 pick. But he surely did have a hand with shipping Luka out. Sorry Perk.
Acting like you can't draft Flagg and trade the other guys 😂
Let me find out Dallas finna trade that #1 pick and officially become the donkeys of the NBA
Giannis to the Knicks wud be GOLD especially for that Pacers rivalry.
Fixed
Perk so an east coast team is not gonna be willing to give u all they best pieces and they draft stock for Giannis and the bucks are not gonna trade him to an east coast team without the kitchen sink. So I can see him going west.
Perks made some stupid arguments. Did he know how young Luka was when was in the league and what make you think that they’re willing to keep Flags for the next 10 to 15 years, look what they did to Luka, he’s a superstar, Flags just a rookie. And Giannis going to Toronto, that must be the dumbest idea to suggest. Leonard was the lucky trade and playoff ever. Raptors is worst than Bucks why would someone in the right mind go to a terrible team.
Molly 😷
What about klay no one is talking about him with Kyrie and A.D that's a well put together system I think Dallas won that trade Luka is good but his team isnt and there not goin to be smh
Big Perk is a switch hitter hahaha 🤣😂😂🤣 them folks in Dallas draft room blew Perk's Houston mind…. Perk is a maverick preacher Now….An Oakland mind would have said…show me….too many American white boys have shined on the college level only to end up at the end of somebodys bench…. I'm from Oakland CA… I don't believe it….
Coop gone be good but I think he gone be a white pascal sikam good player but not great
If Dallas Doesn’t trade Flagg I’ll be a Spurs fan
Molly are you a for sure bet !!!
How you say that if it’s not rigged lol cuz from the chance la yall just said Nico ain’t do nun that was just luck 🍀 🎉
RIGGED!!!!
Rigged
