The Mavs Nightmare Just Keeps Getting Worse…



The Mavs Nightmare Just Keeps Getting Worse…

The Dallas Mavericks are the biggest disaster in the entire league – I mean the Pelicans suck and gave away next year’s pick, and the Nets are one of the worst NBA teams of the decade, and the Kings are really sad again…

But the Mavs situation is SOMEHOW… so much worse than even those teams

They traded away Luka Doncic – beloved by the fanbase, a young perennial MVP candidate, less than a year removed from an NBA Finals appearance – to acquire Anthony Davis which effectively shrunk their championship window down to 2 to 3 years

And in their first full season after the trade – they are one of the worst teams in the entire Western conference.

  1. These videos, DAL is dead, are so silly. Which team (star) would you rather be (have) now and going into the future? DAL (Flagg) or NO (Zion) , LAC (Kawhi), UTA (Lauri) , SAC (?) , MEM (Ja)? Silly ?, DAL will just "move on" and be happy about it. And this is coming from a Lakers fan. Yes, fire Nico, will be fun for the fans.

  2. Isaiah Thomas is still a very capable scoring floor general on offense. Similar playing style to Kyrie.

  3. Funny how the same ppl who are calling the NBA “scripted”. Are the ones who believe Nico is a bad gm. Just don’t understand how ppl , still don’t see, that he is the scapegoat for that trade.

  4. This Was Always Going To Be A GAP Year With Kyrie Out Till January, Develop And Give Reps to Flagg, Tank This Season Out Get A Good Draft Pick In 2026, Compete Next Year, Then Just Rebuild Around Flagg And Whoever You Get In 2026….

  5. They do have their 2026 1st. They can let the unintentional tanking happen this year, find somewhat of a rotation player in the lottery, have Flagg just get experience and show up next year giving one shot to this core. Also maybe if they fire Nico now, a new GM could get some deals in the summer to better retool the team

  6. trade everyone except for Kyrie. build young around Cooper and have Kyrie as the veteran leader

  7. "Nightmare" situation is a FALSE NARRATIVE.

    You have COOPER FLAGG.

    You develop Cooper as your "point guard" and you tank. You keep Dereck Lively II, and you have the ability to trade Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Daniel Gafford, PJ Washington, and maybe Klay Thompson.

    You gain draft assets and create cap space.

    All you need to do to build a great team around Flagg-Lively is develop Cooper into a superstar and find elite 3&D role players while Flagg & Lively are still on rookie contracts.

  8. Mavs drafted cooper Flagg who’s elite in playing as a small forward. Not playing at point guard and being floor general.

  9. If you think the NBA did not rig the draft lottery to get Luka to the Lakers you are foolish. They've done this 3 times alone for LA teams. CP3 gets traded to Clippers from the hornets, boom they get #1 overall for AD. AD gets traded to lakers, boom Pelicans get #1 overall again for Zion. Now Luka gets traded to LA and boom, #1 overall to Dallas. There was a 4th time this happened where a team losing a top player gets #1 overall and it was when Lebron left Cleveland for the Heat and they used it to get Kyrie. Copper was part of this trade. It was AD, Max Christie and 1st and Copper Flag for Luka and Maxi.

  10. I'm not even exaggerating when i say this, this move set back the Mavs by decades. This trade has done irreparable damage and the only way to fix it is through a complete revolution. I think Coop is eventually going to be a good player, but the Mavs will not have the arsenal to back him up, cause they have little to no picks and assets. Their major asset was Luka and they traded him for a bag of chips and a half eaten sandwich.

  11. The Mavs should rebuild around Cooper Flaggg and trade the Klay, AD and etc because they are not winning a championship anytime soon. They don't have a first round pick until 2031.

  12. Sure fire Nico, there’s your scapegoat, but if you think ownership isn’t responsible…😅

  13. Cooper Flagg is 18 years old. You have plenty of time to learn from your mistakes and rebuild around him. Do a fire sale now and restart. That's your consequences from trading Luka Doncic.
