Kyrie to Rockets
Three guys one cup is crazy from a preacher 😂
Owe it to the fan base to start from scratch as fast as possible
If they trade everyone… 100% will not watch any game next year until after the 2027 draft.
Sometimes this team is weird with my other team the Knicks, we needed to tear it all down cause we had no building block… Mavs I hope have there building block Cooper, but they need to build, no rebuild for long periods, build to compete to the highest level you can without hurting your future , having flexibility , assets, and picks, add young guys along the way… Breaking it completely is idiotic.
I’m not trading Kyrie or Naji. 🤷🏼♂️
you shouldn't be attached they were meant to play with luka you should send derrick , naji, Tyler and gaff for jake, dk, Ayton and others plus a pick or 2 its not like any of them want to be there without luka
Love PJ just wish he had a better handle
Klay to the warriors..
I'd rather hold on to Klay and let PJ and Gaf go .. and keep max and Naji and add some depth at a cheaper value plus get some good young talent.. u know what your gonna get from Ky, Klay , Coop and Naji and they good enough to make u competitive with right support roles behind them as your younger guys get experience , prob not winning a chip but ur putting it self in the position in case other teams are injured or don't perform well
They only trading klay
only players i really like are PJ and naji. kyrie too ofc but hes old. but nobody is really untradeable
Morez Johnson would be a great replacement for pj
Keep PJ for his Defense and 3pt shooting.
Trade Gafford and Klay and maybe Naji. Naji and Gafford have pretty high value right now!
Anything and anyone not named cooper or Ky can go
Klay and pj for some young players and if possible picks
8:17 great point. Only trade our players for 2026 1st round draft picks because we get young players to grow with Flagg now.
They All have to go including Kyrie. Bye Bye
The spurs would’ve loved to have Gafford instead of Kornet. A backup center is so valuable in this league. We should trade him for a 2026 1st rounder but if not, I’m fine keeping him.
Let’s get Mamu as our back up forward, also we need more versatility from our center rotation with our best player being a 4
20:35 i would do that trade for sure. PJ, Gafford, and 30 for 11.
Who is this guy with long nasty hair??
A joke😂 LOVE all our guys, but they don't fit anything. Trade them when we get the right offer ❤ If we had 9 & 11 it would take us to another level..😂❤
Been hearing a lot of rumors with Fox. Please stay away from that guy, I swear if they give Kyrie for Fox. I'm crashing out. You're gonna make another west team better, let alone someone in your state. Who knows, if Spurs attached a couple of First, Dallas might actually take the bait lol
Gaff and PJ should each net you a 1st rounder.
I am all for building around Cooper. We need 1-3 co-Stars of the same age group around him. Unfortunately we are in a bad position for a full rebuild cause we are missing 1st round picks. So, I say we trade our vets for picks, as many as we can.
All should be available bc the timeline isn’t ideal. Lack of quality picks they need to salvage as many as possible
Lol we already know after getting rid of Luka and Brunson the Mavs are just DYING to ship off Flagg…Our ne dbag front office despises paying a second contract
Acting like Kyrie, Klay or Gafford will even give a large return is full delusion. PJ and Naji are the only ones with value
I've been saying this ALLLLLLLLLLLLL fucking year. Gafford, PJ, Klay, and even Naji SHOULD be traded. Gafford & PJ are good players on fair deals. Klay can bring shooting on an expiring deal for a team needing spacing but also future cap relief. I wanted to say something when ya'll were like "Dallas COULD maybe trade up to 5….but the Top 4 is out of question" but to that I'm like….says who?
I'm sure 9, Kyrie & Gafford could get us to 4. But yeah, IF Kyrie is off the block….then 5 is as high as the Mavs could get with some mix of Gafford, PJ, Klay, Naji & 9.
Mavs traded porzingis & brunson , now they won nba tittle. Soon every player traded by mavs will win championship. Their front office are always throw away talents got by their talent scouting
How is it possible to NOT make the first episode after the finals about JALEN BRUNSON?
