You can't trade Davis before he plays some good games.
Okay but realistically who in their right mind would trade for AD right now? If we get him healthy for this season then we can maybe get something for him later. He’s a proven amazing player but without his health there is no trade and no way we can start winning games
Is AD really hurt or is he taking notes from Ben Simmons. Is he unhappy? With a good play maker (Kylie) playing they could turn this around now and win and have a very good season. It’s still early.
I am happy that Cuban has other things to do besides defend Ballmer…😂
Minnesota Timberwolves trade Rob Dillingham, Naz Reid , Donte DiVincenzo, Mike Conley to the Mavs for Anthony Davis
Sorry but there is no smoke screen to be had. It’s quite obvious to everyone regardless what is said what the situation is here. Like there hasn’t been a bigger story in the league the past 9 months. Who do they think they’re fooling?
we need to find another Nico around the league that just loves AD and give us like Cade for him lol
Thank you Mark. Fighters are resilient! It's still early and once we're healthy we'll run off several win streaks.
And now while still minority owner and has again power to say something about next trade?!? But he did not know anything about trading Luka???
AD value is at an all time low. I doubt it will ever pick up again. The guy is made of glass. The Mavs very recently keep saying they want to see how this will play out as they have a solid team when healthy. This is 100% true. AD, Kyrie, D Live/Gafford, Washington, Naji, Klay, Flagg, etc etc… solid but One thing they have in the back of their minds is this may never happen. AD is never healthy (his healthy run withe LA was a fluke), Kyrie is coming back from an ACL injury in his 30’s, Flagg is still too raw and by the time he gets his bearings, the old guns will have retired or may be a shell of themselves. This will eventually be a rebuild no matter how the organization or media spins it now. Eventually, they will trade or let go of everyone not in Flagg’s “timeline”- that means, everyone but Lively and Max Christie.
Where’s the fire Nico ?
the absolute irony that we are in the exact predicament Nico was supposedly avoiding by trading Luka away (huge contract, injured star) 🙃
TRADE AD FOR LAMELO BALL
PLS
Anthony Davis is a depreciating asset. He's 32 and on a three year contract and the last year is a player option (as is Kyrie). They need to trade him before the deadline to get some value out of him. For that to happen, AD needs to play and play well.
As for Kyrie, he's out with a much more serious injury: an ACL tear. He'll probably come back in late February or early March. If he performs well, then he can be dealt in the off-season.
Add gafford and lively to the list of ppl who can't stay healthy – they just get ignored because of their lower profile
the question is who will you get if you trade AD? which team are you sure 100% that wants him?
Just gotta rip the bandaid off, get the bag of potato chips and a keyring for AD and move on with the young guys.
Cuban no better than Nico
Hopefully Lakers hire Nico as an Assistant GM or something cause he's a Lakers Legend
He also said the same abt luka …..
Only if they keep luka then kyrie doesn't hv to play too hard n be still injury free right now n Dallas at 2 or 3rd seed by now…
AD is not playin with heart to win.. that's why he has to be traded… and cant even play 10 games in a row.. he looks tired.. no heart.. Trade him now and get that Sarr from wizards..
"We can't look desperate to trade AD". I think it's too late for that, everyone has seen where our season is going, his continued injuries, and his value dropping. It's no secret lol
Keep AD up until the trade deadline and gamble he can be healthy a few games to up his value and then DUMP HIS ASS. Dont play him at center, low minutes, NO jumping. Wrap his knees and ankles in 20 layers of bubble wrap up until trade deadline!! Hell put him on court in a back brace, headgear, make him basically in a full batman suit out there
Let me give you Rui exp contract, Dalton, Vando, a 1st and a second round pick for AD
Only one interesting for other teams is Flagg
No one was offering. AD better be on a 1 year contract. No players option. Dallas can eat most of his contract
