  1. AD did not request a trade…because Rich Paul asked every team and none of them were willing to offer him an extension if they traded for him. Now he’s going to try to force the Mavs to give him that extension.

  2. The summer makes the most sense for
    AD. 5-6 teams might take a chance on him given his deal is only two years BUT he will find out no one will extend him at any price RIGHT NOW.
    EVERY TEAM 50-100/M under the apron will consider him given his upside.
    One will break down and do the deal
    (AD FOR a #1 and “something”).
    Chances are it will be a team willing to lie to him and “promise” an extension “at some point in the future”.

  3. Give AD the extension
    this is their fault
    And you’re not getting a player as good as AD in a trade

  4. There is absolutely no speculation about Kyrie coming back this year. He is terrible. No one cares. NBA is over midget guards. Kyrie is an old overpaid midget guard. Couldn’t trade him if you wanted to either.

  5. Only 2 players I woukd trade him for, Jason Tatum or Luka and Luka ain't happening

  6. I told you all before the best way to tank is keeping AD and sitting him, and all the evidence has shown with every injury they're sitting him more than he needs to sit. There was even a slip that he'd have surgery and be out the rest of the season until his camp probably realized that'll hurt his extension argument. I hate to say it, but discerning anything from a "tanking" year is futility. This is not defending AD's durability, yes he always gets "ouchies" as Gilbert Arenas put it. However, next season there's ZERO incentive to tank, and I have a strange suspicion AD will play a lot more games wherever he is (i.e. 55-65 it's AD after all).

  7. Hiii Nick! Is pelicans an option to dump DLo and hardy. They seem like a team that'll do anything to at least improve their standings this season.

  8. Happy Gday my boy! Been listening to y’all show almost 2 years now. From Bham, Al. Keep doing your thing your thing

  9. Probably propaganda created by the exact teams who are trying to get AD at a discount. I personally pushed for a trade but I’m good as long as we get a lottery pick. I understand now the team and Kidd don’t believe in losing on purpose.

  10. I’ll say it before and I’ll say it again Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving should never play another game for the Dallas Mavericks especially Anthony Davis even when they’re healthy keep them on the bench or at home until you can find a trade for them. They’ve been playing really great lately at home and can push their way into a plansituation and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Either way this whole talk about tank is bullshit. It never works. Look at it from the standpoint of no team ever win a championship.

  11. HBD! I'm exhausted by this season. I want to win, but I'm okay if we lose out and get a top pick in the offseason…

  12. Rich Paul’s name will keep popping up and you guys and other accts will keep repeating… it is what it is

    Happy birthday

  13. Bro, at this point, who really cares about the AD situation? They can handle that in the off-season. Right now, we’re playing great basketball, and that should be the main focus, but instead, it’s all about AD. every other day.
