They could make the play in and could even beat the thunder in the first round if ad and ky get healthy
If kyrie played we win at least 9
What about trading this year first round pick to Charlotte for Kon Knueppel?
I am getting a little sick of hearing how Cooper is 18. Listen, Luka was 19 and Dallas, with a much worse roster, won 33 games his rookie year. It is constantly moving the goal posts with Dallas. Bottom line, the team is not good. So, you have two choices. Stick with this current not good team or start making trades and begin rebuilding. Either way, it is going to take at least 4 years and probably seven or more years to build a team that might contend. The West is completely stacked.
Dirk nowizki was 33 when he won dallas one and only championship….young prospects rarely get drafted on teams that have 2 stars, somehow we got some of these mavs fans talking about trading stars for picks lol. They literally want this team to be the charlotte hornets or washington wizards…you better count your blessings to have a number 1 overall pick paired with legit stars on the team
Sit down with Kyrie and ask him what he wants? lol. Get rid of him as soon as possible. Kyrie and his contract are a disaster. Just like AD, they are not assets, they are liabilities you would be lucky to get rid of. Take anything to get rid of these losers.
Nico really screwed this thing up. This team is sooo bad.
Team "Keep Kyrie"
Trade them all except Cooper. Get the guys to order situations
Kyrie, AD, Clay, Afford, Washington, Russell they all need gone and the mavs need to take the model of OKC!!! Get as much draft capital as possible !!!
Everyone talking about trading Kyrie for picks are just dumb. The 76ers tanked and traded for picks and they have gone NOWHERE!!
Kyrie has missed 84 out of 212 games since the Mavs traded for him. He is part of the problem not the solution. Thank him and trade him.
yall right trade all the black people give the dallas mavericks weird fans what they want
Are you seriously trying to insinuate Kyrie is as loved by Mavs fans as Luka? Mavs identity was lost with the Luka trade, so they're not risking losing their identity by trading Kyrie. The whole "Loyalty never fades away" thing is over and done with. It's time to build a new identity around Flagg and whoever they draft after this season.
😂😂😂mavs are dumb u need defenders if kyrie is gonna stay
Kyrie should NOT be traded…
Nah, trade Klay, Kyrie, AD, Gafford and completely start over with Flagg as the centerpiece. They will not win in the next 3 years, so get all the draft capital you can. BLOW IT UP!
Kyrie is pretty much out the door.
That cap is dope Isaac.
If Kyrie asked for a trade to go contend elsewhere I think it would be fair but it would be so heartbreaking that guy is so deserving of having his jersey retired by the mavs. I don't think it would happen but I'd want his jersey retired anyway.
Kyrie next step is retirement (he has no option).
He is on the end of his career, and all NBA is aware of that.
RIP Kyrie (retire his jersey on Cavs).
I’d like to season Kyrie, Cooper and AD play together. We have never seen it
WE LITERALLY COULDNT GET OVER THE HUMP WITH AD FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS HE WAS SOLID THO JOKIC DESTROYED HIM
The future is now old man – Dewey. Anyone over the age of 28 (except Powell the goat) can honestly go, try to gather up as many picks you can and build
Gotta keep him
They should blow it up and do right thing get some picks for him and trade him to a team he wants
I absolutely agree with you
Ngl most of the folks saying trade kyrie probably not even a maverick fan.
Easiest likeable thumbnail 🔥. Lk Isaac definitely wearing the meta glasses 🎥 . Thick ass coke bottles 😂. Mavs should roll the red carpet out for Kyrie organization wise. Keep him around the design and counselor role long term. Not unlike dirk. Quality plays raise the ceiling and average. Good take Isaac 🤝 “pivotal moment in the franchise”. Can we get some b-roll clips 🎞️ while you all make your points? 👀
Mavs shouldn’t waste AD btw.
I think I'd personally love to keep Kyrie id be confident with trading one of our centers with what we've seen from Moussa Cissé. And trading ad has to happen and klay. I think trading those 3 players id be confident we can trade others but trading lively or kyrie would hurt especially Kyrie. I would like to trade gafford before lively but with the right return for lively I could deal with it but itd still hurt
Tear it down and rebuild. The last thing you want is to have AD on your team after the trade deadline. Kyrie? Why keep him, he isn't going to be here when they win a championship.
duhhhhhhh
Kyrie convinced me to embrace him and I wanted to watch him win a ring with Luka and retire as a Maverick. But Nico fucked up the timeline so badly that at this point, if the Rockets offer Tari Eason, Reed Sheppard and a pick for Kyrie, they have to take that deal
Love Kyrie, want him to come back but want him to be completely healed. The Luka Kyrie magic was real 😢
I think Kyrie would be the best Mentor for Coop
I would love for Kyrie to retire with the Mavs that would be awesome, now about AD I don't care when his healthy he is awesome but when you are 98.9 % made out of glass u r not good for us sorry but AD need to go, making millions sitting on court side view. DAMN I WANT A JOB LIKE THAT 😂😂🎉🎉
Chris Paul recently signed a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the LA Clippers
just sitting on the bench in L.A.
would hv been a much better signing than Russell
Paul averaged 8 assist a gm last yr
last night every player played…the whole tm had like 10
not to mention the turnovers
Spread the msg fam great 👍 job
Pretty sure Kyrie wants to play with AD. You guys really don't know what Kyrie is about if you think doing wrong by AD is the solution. Give them a chance, then think about trades in the offseason.
I love Kyrie and hope he retires a mav. The franchise really needs to get back to doing right by their star players. They’ve done a lot of damage. Kyrie is a beloved vet, a leader, and a great mentor for Cooper already. I think he’s valuable in so many ways. But I agree, if he wants to go to a contender I am totally fine with that.
