U can see Kyrie’s development in Cooper with how he works his triple threat, gets to his middy and his overrall patience now. Handle too ofc
Watching Coop drop 30+ pt double doubles while getting 3 blocks and 2 steals is more beautiful than watching Luka respectfully. Him with Kyrie will be a wet dreammmm
How tf is it fun to play for these players To get destroyed every game. WOW cooper made 30 points or whatever on a trash ass team that plays zero defense. I cant tell if its "tanking" or they just suck. Either way how is anyone watching this shit team anymore?> When its a automatic L how is it worth buying a ticket to go watch trash on display. LOL i still truly believe this team is still headed to LAS VEGAS I'm like 80% sure yall still blind sided with all these " trades" and tampon mark Cuban sells the team so he does not take any " heat" for the team moving because they want a arena with " casinos" as i am sure 99% don't even realize Las Vegas is already building massive " arenas" that can welcome major sports teams. I would be very shocked if that does not happen, just on how everything went down.
All right man I'm tired of hearing about Luka. I'm planning my FLAGG right here. We're going to stand on Business Baby.
Tyus Jones under J Kidd could be spooky for other teams
Marvin Bagley could be the stretch big we’ve always wanted. Itll clear the paint for Coop to average 40 a night!!
Ahhhhh Hell, we gonna be alright. Good tank game. Wait till next year. We have Kyrie back, the new guys will be settled. I’m super excited.
Cooper is like a Japanese Anime Character that levels up every time he gets beat. These numbers may be his averages by the end of the season.
Kidd and Kyrie will make Jones a super point guard.
Been saying it. This is a good team just need ky to handle the ball and we win a bunch of these clutch games
Christie is cool, he just needs to get stronger, but he's still young. I think that'll really help him on defense.
I noticed Klay seemed a lot more happy on the bench.. seems like he really wanted to stay in Dallas.
Going exceptionally well.
Being very competitive while losing lol.
Get that top 10 pick, get everyone healthy and start over in October.
If we are kicking ass then go get a great
Player at the deadline.
The formula for success.
Can the mavs wait until the offseason to sign Nembhard and Cisse?
Love naji, man
I laugh when i see people comment on Cooper and say his stats are empty and any rookie could do this putting up 20 plus shots. Well if that is the case why don't more rookies do this?
I was thinking Cooper might become a 30 point a game dude in like Year 3. And it's happening as we speak in his rookie year!! That's wild.
Yall boring and lame AF
Imagine if Flagg and Paige Bueckers got together and had a kid. What kind of basketball player that kid would be!
No, the people are right. Bring back Maxi.
Flagg, Christie, Naji, DLIve and Kyrie sounds pretty good to me. Let it Ride.
Hearing them talk about the moussa vs ryan question is so frustrating, like bro how is it even a question??? Why would you waive ANYBODY but dwight fucking powell!??????? That man is POINTLESS on a basketball court and has been nothing but POINTLESS for 3-4 years now. Dump powell and sign these two goung guys who could both be off the bench pieces for a contender in the next 2-3 years. Swear to god everybody forgets weve pointlessly kept this loser for fucking years
I was skeptical that Flagg could live up to the enormous hype he's had since he was literally about 15 years old and especially coming into the NBA I didn't think he could easily justify that level of hype, but holy shit this kid is a freak talent. Its almost not even believable that he not only lives up to the hype but often EXCEEDS the hype. Crazy.
, I’m never a big tank guy but ,man after these moves, the only way to fully repair the whole Luka thing is to TANK TANK TANK . Need a top 4 pick and we will recover
I’d like to keep bagley as much as our centers stay hurt
Monta NOT WEIRDLY.
The draft lottery last year came down to the Spurs and Mavs. Initially it appeared that Coop was disappointed the Mavs won the lottery because it’s reasonable for him to dream about teaming up with Wemby. But, if the Spurs had won the lottery, Coop’s game would not be nearly as well-developed as it has been with the Mavs and Kidd. The Spurs have strong guards and with Wemby, it is highly doubtful that Coop would have ball handling and offensive opportunities with the Spurs anywhere close to the opportunities he’s had with the Mavs. He may hate the losing, but his game is way ahead of where it would be if he had been drafted by the Spurs. In the long run, he’s going to be a much better player because the Mavs are a mess at the moment. If the Mavs get lucky again and get a high pick this summer, they could be an attractive destination for top free agents very soon, especially since they are in a much better financial situation after trading AD.
the mavs withaut luka just suck
Man up there looking like Jesus
The Mavs traded Luka for Khris Middleton, I guess.
After trade deadline this Dallas will become the Washington Wizards of the West.
Flagg alone means nothing. Owners must be held accountable.
Luka trade by AD was like a criminal action. Thanks Nico!
What I remember the most about that first game was the utter panic in some circles that Flagg wasn't going to be very good, based on one game….
27:14 …..If Lively doesn’t make it back then maybe you consider Bagley, who wouldn’t be ok with being the 5th big man off the bench.
Don’t think he would settle for 4/M either.
You’d think at least double that.
