Let’s
Go MAVS
If they are going to keep Kyrie, then they are not fully rebuilding! I’m not saying wanting Kyrie to leave. I think they still feel like we have a chance to compete. That’s how I feel! Why blow everything up and suck for 4 or 5 years? Might as well be competitive! We don’t have any picks🤷🏾♂️.
By the way, Miami is not a bigger market than Dallas/Ft. worth! Only Chicago, NY and LA are larger!
Masai ujiri should trade to the bucks .at get the 10 pick … Yexel lendeborg and Mikel brown is good addition in mavs roster
they owe luka 130 million trading gaff, pj, naji and livley for 3 first and salaries would be a fair end to making things right they were got to play around luka if you ask them they would say yes
Kyrie's agent who is his step mom said Kyrie wants to compete for a championship next season. He's not staying on the Mavs.
Of course they wouldn't give anything away about Kyrie, saying anything different could reduce his trade value. Kyrie is not staying in Dallas unless there isn't a trade offer that comes in that they like enough.
KY is gone. Like Massai said Mavs are not trying to win soon and Ky's timeline is not on Coopers so it makes sense for everyone. Might get him for a 1/2 season to show his recovery status b4 a trade for picks or young talent.
Welcome home mama bear issac
Nick playing guitar while Isaac gave his pastor-esque send off for Kidd quotes was PEAK comedy
Man that was emotional 😅
Is that Glycerine by Bush I hear Nick playing??? Sure sounds like it…🎶
Truly the best locked on podcast lol
I'm dreaming but if the Rockets want Kyrie you have to trade me Amen Thompson 🤷🏽♂️
Nick and Isaac are the best of Locked on podcasts
Just trade him, the team is going nowhere and the fans are out of their minds.
Look @ Fox & Wemby you need an experienced guard there while the younger guards grow or whoever the younger player they draft that will play that position. Keep Kyrie just to see how he looks like with Cooper. I mean Kyrie & Cooper will be getting all the shots and basketball usage. Hopefully that’s a good combo.
coach is only as good as the player
wtf I love it lol you guys never disappoint 😂😮😢
Now Kidd has lots of time to touch it, rub it and hold it
I believe he’s staying until the trade deadline to prove he’s healthy and his trade value is built up and then he’ll get traded
Bro, do you even listen? In his introduction interview, Masai said he wants to see Kyrie and Cooper together on the court. We all see the changes the organization is making, but you need a veteran leader in your locker room. Kyrie is that guy. They know there’s only one Kyrie in the world, and it would be foolish to trade him when he still has a few good years left to play. Cooper is only 19, and yes, this is his team, but having Kyrie Irving’s leadership and championship experience will only help Cooper as a player.
Kyrie is big on respect if the front office said anything that suggested that he going to be shopped he would have requested a trade by now and make it known he’s not happy lowering his value
If Warriors offered #11 for Kyrie wwyd?
Let's say that the rockets came and said hey we're willing to give you a future first rounder and Reed Shepherd. I'm not saying you do it I'm just asking what the thoughts are
All of the drops are dead, shabang! 😂
I think there should be a vote to keep a couple of the very, very best drops. Like an “in memoriam”. Nick, you already set the precedent for this by keeping some Isaac drops during the time he was gone. Also, Kidd in particular will be a Mavs legend long past him being gone. I understand you don’t overwhelm the your sound board and keep it tight and topical. But still, I think you should keep some drops. You could even have the raccoon squad vote on what to keep. It could be a way to keep things fun during the offseason
Kyrie is a win-now player. The Mavs are win-later team. If you can trade him for win-later assets of similar value, you do it.
This is completely obvious.
