I’m sick of Tim McMahon
It's going to come out one day that Nico got a massive bonus in the shadows or something for trading Luka to the Lakers.
I just started game of thrones. This is the best pod ever
I'm sorry Mavs fans, we're just gonna have to eat a lousy return for AD. He's not getting any younger & his contract only gets worse. We CAN NOT allow this contract to be a fucking albatross around Cooper's neck during these formative years. We NEED to be a team that is flexible & can go in any direction in a snap. Cause honestly, we don't even know how good Cooper can be or what type of game he's gonna have. Shit, I don't even think we can say he's done growing. Sure, he's likely to not grow any taller but he could fill out like Giannis and grow muscular. Or maybe he becomes a lethal 3pt shooter and like 98% of his shots are dunks or 3s.
We really have no idea what type of players you are gonna need around him. So we should be flexible. Though I feel fairly certain you're gonna need a 1 and a 5. And maybe Dallas already has a 5 you want him playing with. So if you happen to get a pretty good (and young) PG for AD that could work too. But you gotta back off that 2nd apron and get away from AD's money.
Give us kyrie and gafford for Austin reaves
I'm not making any trade until we get an actual GM in here
Feel so bad for AD man. He didn't deserve any of this
I honestly don't know what the best option is. but if we do trade him we actually need to get full value for him.
Trade AD for AR and RUI HATCHIMURA.
He’s not at top 10 player.
Luka got traded for Max Christie. I'm just sick over it.
So traded AD for nothing you guys have a platform and are using it to make the Mavs bad and trading what's left like AD for nothing won't be following you if AD is traded because of the pressure of the Mavs content creators
Fire Jason! Fire Jason! Fire Jason! Fire Jason!
AD for Lakers AR?
If you’re just trading him for picks, you might as well shot Kyrie as well! Just getting picks just means we’re completely rebuilding around Flagg!
16:54 I can't tell if the Bush/J Cole reference is on purpose, but I love it either way.
Lakers beat Utah and had a blast doing it… so entertaining… kid from Utah can score.. I’m still pissed and finding myself wanting them to do poorly which is sad after cheering for them for so long .. Dirk fan for life
Ironically, mavs are a worse defensive team now than when they had luka. All while having the worst offense in history.
Thank you for bringing up the games played thing. I've been counting that shit down since like Cooper's 11th game and AD still ain't come back yet. And I agree. WHAT?? That shouldn't be possible FIFTEEN games into the dude's career. What are we even doing??? This is ABSURD!!
Why??????
It would be stupid!
Can’t imagine a decent return and we’d have to take back a bunch of salary.
They better be expiring contracts and a shi*load of picks. If not then what’s the point.
pls trade him back to lakers for dalton knecht, basically luka for dalton
AD career is ruined by being traded for and linked to Luka
WTF was that intro??? 😅
Thank you Nico 😂
Dude is never available when teams need him the most.
Dumont trades Luka for low value 😡
Dumont trades AD for low value 🥳
Fans 🤡
What I hate more than anything is that all of this happened…for nothing.
AD needs to go to a place where he can be that 4th or 5th option so when he gets injured it is a blip but when he is there it is just great
AD for Zion + picks who says no, its time to get fatter and fatter
Best intro music yet
As both a Canadian FIBA longtime Referee and both loyal Raptor fan and also a Maverick supporter here is best AD trade value. Poeltl, Immanuel Quickley with 2 Draft Picks 2026 for AD and the Canadian G Nembhard.
Nico did his friend AD dirty.
In retrospect, the Supermax $345 million is going to seem like a good deal…..😊
Man getting expiring contracts ONLY for AD is wild. Part of me wants the Mavs to play him to raise his value at least to get a 1st rd pick.
David Locke is great and very humble. He never mentions that hes the president of " Locked on" empire
They could trade Anthony Davis and Cooper Flag for Luka Magic and Dallas could fix the damage has been made😊😊
@ Nick Looks 👀 for like a little tiny bit of daylight of reality is finally hitting you i’m been try to share with you. AD is street clothes and D’Angelo Russell. Don’t play defense, hot 🥵 and cold 🥶 shooter bony as hell, can’t jump not fast 💨 not quick 👀👀 dribble too much. 👀👀 Must I go on bro? It’s a lot of trash 🗑️ on that team. Irving is the man, but I got news 🗞️ 📰 for all of you. He’s kind of up in age and coming back from a serious 🧐 injury 🤕 like that. He is not going to be the same and he will dissipate. His skill will diminish quickly. He’s gotta be retired maybe another 2 or 3 years. He’s gonna be 34 years old in March 2026 😲
Winter is coming!
3 injuries since he's been a Mav AND – it's the story of his career. He didn't just happen to catch a weird bad streak. He literally falls down on the court once or twice every game. How long until the NEXT injury?
Nico destroys the Mavericks because he wants to take revenge on Cuban
Man I hope listening to all the noise is not influencing this. Come on AD, come back and prove these people wrong. Make them put some respect on your name. At least come back for this season to improve your trade value.
AD was supposed to come back vs Miami, but he won't even travel w the team.
Instead, on the morning of the next Miami game he will be listed as out for the season.
I'm not really sure how the Mavs come back from this, he's owed 54 million, there's no way to recover from that, and his team is going to refuse any trade.
AD for Fox seems like a fair trade for all
if they trade AD the terrible trade they made becomes an all time joke of a trade. The only thing that could be more hilarious is if somehow he ended up back on the Lakers.
