Would you take Porzingis & Kennard's Expiring Deals + a 2026 1st Round Pick an Anthony Davis Trade?
25:35 ……Klay is a no brainer GOT TO GO. Love the guy but he won’t be here when we are a contender again.
His money, shots, minutes and opportunities are better going to someone else this year and next.
Don’t even know who gets his shots but I’d prefer Kelly taking them over Klay.
Bring Tingus Pingus home ! (and Asa Newell)
Naji is 28, as much as I love him, he’s playing out of his mind. We should sell high💔
They "salary dumped" Porzingis while actually adding more long term salary and giving up a second round pick. Dumping him for expirings would actually beat the Porzingis trade haul because it would actually clear salary
Quietly Dallas will trade 2-3 guys this summer before the draft.
Add a #1 and a couple of #2’s and play the lottery.
Isaac wants to trade all the vets, but they may have to spend assets to duck the second apron.
No way
Hawks ain’t gonna give up that pick
Ain’t no teams want AD’s contract especially don’t want KP back
Asa and Kennard? IDK but yes
We can definitely hold out this season and give an opportunity to have Kyrie, Flagg, AD, Klay and Powell on the same court.
Why keep making videos asking Isaac about AD getting traded? It has been clear that he would trade him for a bag of basketballs and a washing machine. I get it, I'm team trade AD, but i think if they were able to also get Newell from Atlanta it would make the trade a home run given the situation.
Dallas will not get better by surrounding Flagg with a bunch of rookies and inexperienced players, but that will jumpstart the rebuild, and it will take a good four years.
Dallas will be better with Flagg, Kyrie, and AD. But there is a very good chance that AD and maybe Kyrie get re-injured again, which would push back the rebuild by at least three years to around 7 years.
Those are the choices Dallas really has.
In theory, Flagg, Kyrie, and AD could go far together, but I just don't see it due to past history.
I still want to see Kyrie, AD, and Coop on the floor together. But in all honestly, I'm not sure it would work long-term. Coop's ready now to be the guy 🔥
Davis has played 29 games as a Mav….
There is no sense for any NBA team to trade for AD. $ 50+ mio for street clothes?🤔
If the mavs want the best for the organization moving forward, they need to take a serious look at Issac Harris for our GM role.
26:53 keep him away from gm, trade him for a first.
I’ll throw the party in victory park if the Mavs pull that trade off
Gafford should be traded
Make the AD deal happen.
Hey Nick. Been looking for jobs on indeed. Would love a job with locked on!!
one thing about Naji is. he can adjust to the situation for what by team need. right now the mavs need him to score and facilitate more. if kyrie and 2026 draft pick come he will be a dependable point of attact defender. you dont see that defense more on Naji now cause he doing a lot more now. but giving him less responsibility he can also exile in the defense more
Nick please muzzle Isaac on AD trade. I had to turn it off again. I love locked on Mavs. Please free us from Isaac’s AD opinions. We all GET IT. He just says the SAME thing every time!! Please get Slightly on, it is immensely better content. And I used to love Isaac!!
Isaac can not be objective!
