But we would be tanking flags 2nd season. Not good.
Naji is “the knife” & a good two way player & seems like a glue guy who plays well with Coop . Naji has been playing very well —- but yeah, the package & * 2 first rd pics would be interesting—
I highly suggest folks check out warriors fan content post the last game with Kuminga's return to playing.
It's crazy emotions and any idea is on the table. relatable to Mavs fans making you think the sky isn't falling or similar experiences
lol, so you think we should trade a very talented injury prone player for a less talented injured player… great plan
Why would you want to help the Warriors to get off of Jimmy's contract if they ain't offering 3 first round picks? It don't make no sense.
gotta get a minimum of 2 first if you're throwing nahi into the mix!
😂😂😂 YOU FAKE MAVS MEDIA FAN LOSERS ARE SOO DESPERATE
I woud trade Kyrie to Houston as well if we can get something valuable
Kuminga, Podz, Moody and Butler <-> Davis and Klay
Not sure if the money works but I think both teams get what they want
Get rid of Caleb Martin plain n simple
I hate both trades
That is playing scared…keep AD, Kyrie, Flagg, Washington, and Lively….
Give them AD and Klay for Jimmy plus 2 FRPs. Then get kuminga plus 2nds for Gaff. Then we go full tank mode for the rest of the season.
Start building the team during the draft. We back contending after next season. EzPz
Really if no other team is biting on for AD, then just go with Kuminga.
It's a low pay, high reward risk with Kuminga, if he don't fit with Cooper, let him walk next year and that's basically 20mill off the books.
AD + Klay for Jimmy + JK + all of post Curry picks. Let's do it!
Don't trade gafford…if they want AD and Naji then fine, but need 2 firsts for that
We have to get at least 2 firsts if we're giving up more than just AD
That second trade is a no for me. So we’re trading for a 37 year old that is cooked for AD and giving up Naji and Gaff for pretty much an expiring contract and one 1st??
AD for Kumiga and a 1st rounder of their choice. They have to add more to match salary’s.
AD for Jimmy plus 2 firsts of their choice.
This is probably the worst episode I’ve ever seen you do. Those trades especially the second are the worst I’ve seen this entire season. God awful
I like the trade, but i think it might still be there in the offseason
Well if they are healthy (Hits commenter on head with sock) homie don’t play that
A trade AD for Jimmy actually works out well for you all who don't want to look stupid for saying AD and Kyrie wouldn't be a championship team and Nico never gets proven right. It's win-win for you minus the Mavs ever winning anything.
So u want to trade a 32 year old for a 37 year old a 1st round pick that might not pan out?
Sending Naji, Gaff, and AD and only getting 1 pick is one pick short. Dallas should get a protected 1st from the Pacers in 2028 or 29…and then I do it.
No klay thompson- too old
I'm not giving Naji to Golden State Hardy Martin or DLo
I love Isaac, but he's TURRIBLE at trades. He always has the Mavs on the short end, barely getting value. The trade he proposed here had the Mavs trading their biggest non-Coop asset and two very good rotation players on GREAT contracts (I'd say Naji has a top 10 value contract) and only receiving a badly injured player on a MAX contract, Kuminga (a player he only sees as an expiring contract) and ONE 1st that may fall in the 20's. I'm not saying that's Luka trade "bad", but it's akin to something Nico would've negotiated. I'd need at least one more 1st and would rather have Mathurin than Kuminga.
The bottom scroll says "For AD free episodes" and I read that AD as Anthony Davis hahaha
Ok I am just going to say it.
Anthony Davis is not getting traded! We should focus on the reality and this is the team along with our draft pick (20-25 pick).
Wait, why would you want Jimmy Butler and/or Kuminga? Makes no basketball sense
This "need" to get rid of A.D is no longer basketball related at all. Nice hoodie
Issac just hate AD… To take on dead money next year just to get rid of AD 😂
Thank god Isaac isn’t the GM
Warriors are giving up two first round picks with street clothes.
Do warriors know AD gets injured every other week?
That is a terrible trade, giving up Naji and Gaff for Kuminga and Jimmy Buckets who just blew his knee out.
I love watching Cooper Flagg play. I salute the incredible young talent.
