Lmao luka played no defense and got tight at everyone else
Porzingis and luka didn’t work
Bro.. Brunsons knicks are 10-12 and Lukas mavs are 10-11. Brunson isn’t making the knicks any better, y’all overrate him so hard. Spencer does the same numbers as him. Porzinglass isn’t worth the high maintenance on those legs. Mavs will be fine they just need to make an extra move and play better defense. All their loses were very close and just bad late game plan by the coach. They will get the kinks out earlier than later
lets act like luka isnt part of the problem… he doesnt play defense and is heavy ball dominant
People really trying to rewrite history. Brunson was consistently inconsistent, barely even a starter and on absolutely no other teams radars until his break out in the last 1/3rd of the season. It sucks we didn’t just re-sign him in the pre-season, and the FO is terrible in Dallas, but that one is a bit understandable.
While I respect KP’s take on Luka not being an MVP so far, him wondering what everyone’s deal is when it comes to Luka has me baffled. He doesn’t see how good he is. He just thinks he’s another great player when he’s a top 3 talent in this league and is only getting better.
Bronson yes. Porzingis no
Kendrick Perkins is a hater wow its a shame how he hates luka😱🤬🤬🤬
I absolutely LOVE! Luka da Don but BRUH!!!! he's a ball hog!! They can't play without him not moving the ball..smfh
The mavericks have taken half of the league for granted at this point
Luka is not a leader at all!! He is just a scorer and thats it……. 1:07–1:14 was horrible, how he gonna get mad at his teammates because he did a lazy closeout switch? Leaders lead from the front!
its okay Luka can have this mvp numbers
It seemed wild to me at the time that coming into this season people were super high on the Mavs and I just remember thinking they were gonna suck and wondering why people were buggin xD
Luka is too good this is the problem, Luka is in essence the Mavs offense.
he creates space and opportunities for other players, when he sits on the bench Mavs quality drops.
When Luka is tired he needs to rest, his usage is too high
How to solve this? with another elite player (all star game level) put together Jannis and Luka or Jokic and Luka or even Zion and Luka and you will see
However I hope Luka leave for another franchise
K Perkins with the passive racism with a question about the love affair with Luka. Let’s be honest, he’s saying people love Luka because he’s white.
Perk is right. The team is losing. MVPs need to be able to carry their teams above the 11 seed.
Perk jumped off a Luka train mid journey
Truth. As a Mavs fan- I’m retrospect now- they should have kept those two and developed them into the team
Now the Mavs just trying to emulate that lol
Porzingis and brunson for granted? Porzingis wasn't producing and brunson wanted too much. Getting rid of them were easy calls to make.
The Porzingis trade never made any sense long term and still doesn't. He was everything they paid for and then some. The front office imploding the way it did hurt them in more ways then one.
Bad take. KP was an injury ridden money pit. Brunson is NOT worth 27 a year and he was going to leave anyway. Apparently. I promise you there are way worse problems than losing them.
I am happy with Wizards KP6. Very super
I don’t ever agree with perk but im with him on that. This luka dilemma gotta stop
At 1:10 I love Luka but what're you doing complaining when that was your man.
The mavs have good pieces i don't see the big deal. They're just dragging Luka into the spotlight to create drama and stories.
Wizards giving the ball to KP. He scores 41 points. JB running offense for the Knicks and having an All Star season. Mavs would rather keep Bullocks and THJ over KP and Brunson! GM should be fired!
Perk speaking facts and Zach tries to deflect by just saying luka is a better player…ok that wasn’t the question. Why is luka being given MVP consideration with a team record like that but guys like Trae young never got MVP consideration last year? 🤔🤔 The agenda for luka 🤷♂️
How is luka a better passer than trae young when luka has the ball more and averages less Assists and a worse assist-TO ratio 🤔😂 make it make sense
luka doncic is james harden. he is a TERRIBLE offball player. he doesnt know how to let others eat and set the table for him. he micromanages the game similar to rockets harden and mvp westbrook. look at how porzingis and brunson are thriving.
Brunson is average.
They need to try and trade for Lavine or some sort of package of Vucevic and Lavine/Derozan
