Trade Flagg, rehire Nico, move to Las Vegas. whatever else is needed to continue the dumpster fire.
25:26 ……I was just told by Bobby Marks that the Mavs DID NOT HAVE ANY CAP SPACE.
Can you get him on to clarify that statement.
dallas gets nr 1 pick, like last year, just to mess with the ideas the owners have.
Dumonts and Mark Cuban are both CLOWNS. Disgusting humans. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
29:09 ……I think unquestionably they can get Hartenstein for the MLE.
He’s only played 104 games for OKC in two years and he hasn’t developed beyond his 10-10-4 one steal one block persona. Thats who he is.
Still a lot better than what we got but clearly that means Gafford would be gone.
Three center is the max.
Four is overkill.
But it would be fun to be one of those teams that occasionally gets 20 offensive rebounds a game lol.
You guys need to stop with the Luca nostalgia. Youre blessed to have Cooper instead of Luca. You forget that nobody likes to play with a ball hog, regardless of what they say in public. Especially if its an out of shape, often injured, whiney to the refs, non-defense playing…individual.
36:19 ……I’ve never heard anyone grease the wnba quite like Nick does.
I guess we’ve finally found their demographic.
Mid 30’s lesbians from Ohio who are motivated and diverse.
I just hope we can get one of those picks 1-5. I think any of those guys could go 1 or 2 in most drafts.
Idea for an episode. What do we do if everything goes wrong: we lose the coin flip and then get jumped 3 times and end up with the 11th pick? Tankathon has Philon, Lendeborg and Steinbach as 11=13. Ament is 10. Who are we picking? Need more info on the bottom of the lottery since they could be what we end up with.
1:19 ……I look forward to the Wings winning the title next season and countless dozens of homeless people showing up to their victory parade on
Botham Jean blvd 😂……the players and the three lock on sports personalities can then meet at the 7/11 for $4 chicken sandwiches and slurpees 😊!!!!!
Nick and Issac…why don’t we GM? We clearly have a game plan. Slightly can be head of medical staff
You guys have too many sisters 😂😂😂
One thing I was wondering about the Mavericks is our coaching staff. We should have never let Sweeney go. These two assists that Jason Kidd has has not impressed me at all. Just a good old boy syndrome. What do y’all think?
NBA Draft Date: Wednesday, June 24, 2026
Starting to love the idea of Hartenstein.
In the most recent game against the clippers DJJ finishes over him and Holmgren on the first bucket then Hartenstein comes down and lays down a vicious pick that leaves Jones
Ears ringing.
The Mavs haven’t been tough in a while. Even during their championship run with Luka.
Cooper would love a FINISHER on picks
Instead of this soft pick/run to the basket crap that’s popular now.
He’s a crushing rebounder as well as a wildly underrated passer and finisher around the basket.
Dallas needs to make teams hate playing them, especially San Antonio and Houston.
I’m tired of them being the p*ssies in the state.
Let's trade Patrick Dumont for Sam Presti.
Another thought. Mavs did not want to pay Luca.
I would like to see somebody quantify the effect of high turnover and losing in sports. First you have to find out which causes the other.
Please don't use Chris Farley on your thumbnail
Isaac- Azzi won the title in 2025 with Paige.
so i was just wondering does Dwight get a brand spanking new 3 or 4 year deal
As long as the team is run by these owners, I feel confident they will find all the wrong off season moves to make.
I think the Mavs are going to be pretty good next year, but I don't think they're going to make a bunch of changes cuz bad teams tend not to make a lot of changes. When it comes to free agency playoff teams get a massive advantage in the NBA cuz these players don't want to play for bad teams. The Luka Mavericks went into free agency with a ton of cap space and nobody signed. They all went to playoff teams. If you look at the last three playoff cycles, only two players out of the top 30 went to bad teams. Now I think the apron era can help them but we will be players last resort . Hopefully they can land them a really good player. The Mavericks new front office may want to make a lot of moves but reality might hit them in the face just like it did Don Nelson's front office.
