I dont understand why people kepe bringing Gren into this. Green and DFS can play at the same time because DFS is so versatile he can play the 4. No one else on this team can other than Maxi.

Ok Cowboy, holster your republican colts and focus on basketball.

Why would we bring DFS into this? Well...
1. because it turns out he was a part of this deal
2. he was somewhat expandable due to Greens play. The word "expandable" doesn't occur too often when it comes to talking about the other starters. And if Brooklyn wants a 3&D wing then it's down to Bullock (who surely they don't want), DFS or Green. And that's an easy decision to make then for the Mavs. Plus salaries obviously also have to match


If you are going to be condescending, then read first. I said bringing up Green, not DFS. of course DFS was part of the deal. But now we have no one to play PF. The FO couldnt even ask for Yuta instead of Morris. So if they wouldnt take Wood or Bullock, you walk, considering you're giving up an unprotected first when Luka may not even be here.


I would say it's a lot easier to find someone to play decent at Pf, then someone, who can bring you wins, when Luka is injured or on the bench. And Kyrie is a lot better fit to play together with Luka on the floor than Dinwiddie was. Dinwiddie was not playing better D than Kyrie either, so there is no loss there. Yes, you never know what you will get from Kyrie, but that was calculated in his price already.

Fact is, DFS is NOT a better defender this year than Green and had too many off games on offense to make up for his defense. He's also a very poor finisher around the rim and can barely dribble, unlike Green who is also 8 years younger. Mavs have to develop their own talent in order to progress and maybe create some future assests for themselves.

Baby killing liberal? Never heard that before. It's weird since NRA has republicans so far up in their ass that you can't even send your kid to school without a body vest. But whatever...

DFS' flexibility is severly overblown, when he was playing center, he didn't move the needle at all. Even when Rick tried to switch positions with him, it was more than evident that this is not it, so he stopped doing that. Green can pretty much cover the same ground as DFS while also be productive on offense. Don't get me wrong, DFS was obviously very useful and a great guy but i'm not going to complain now that he's gone.

I don't like the fact that they traded Dinwiddie because he was a great 6th guy and could score on his own and Mavs will have some depth issues now, plus problem on center position is far from being resolved. They are trying to trade Wood aswell (for some reason) and that scares me even more.


For some reason? The guy is on his 7th team, so maybe there's a reason many Nba teams and folks know that box scores dont show

But Kyrie is a anrcisst and lunatic, he's poison. No one ever questioned his skill, its everything else about him. Luka is already immature, so brinign Kyrie next to him is foolish.

Not to mention Morris who is a punk like his brother

Seriously, the absolute least the Mavs could have done here is say if we're giving up DFS instead of THJ or Bullock, at least give us Yuta instead of Morris

Couldnt even do that, Nico go away

Would they bet their life on someone like Irving? Most likely no. But that's what our FO did.

Love Nash but Kyrie has already won more titles and puts up better numbers and is a respectable defender unlike the Nash we had.

Nash has never played with a top 2 all time player like Kyrie. You can’t say “rangz!” to make the argument he’s better….then Derek Fisher must be better than both Nash and Kyrie since he has more rings.

Kyrie defensively is very bad. I don’t think he’s any better than Din on that end. But we’ll see.

Its a depth issue. This team already has guys who should permanetly stay on the bench in Pinson, McGee, and Frank. Now we have a 4th.

Let's hope some team will take THJ away from us and free out that 11 jersey to Kyrie:)


:lol: maybe that’s why Kyrie’s number isn’t known yet!

Better get that deal done before Wednesday. Kyrie will be set to play.

That's exactly why I don't like the trade for you guys. They bet on the wrong "star". Probably couldn't have chosen a worse one to be Lukas pairing. Hopefully better trades are incoming to round out the roster.

As it stands I'm not a fan.

We didn't like Nash's defense back then, hence why we chose Harris instead.

But Nash is a good friend and a true professional. Also a HOF.

If Kyrie doesn't act like a child, he can be compared with the great Steve Nash on basketball level. But when does Kyrie not act like a child in the past years?

You don't want to be on the other end guarding him. He'll show you what 27 PPG looks like.

This is true but how much will he give up on the other end?

People complained about Din’s defense all the time but I think Kyrie is even worse.


You’re wrong , engaged Kyrie plays good defense and offense wise your games gonna be bananas with him and Luka taking turns

So you’ve got honeymoon month ahead and Mavs will be amazing to watch, what’s after that only Kyrie knows and don’t try to understand :lol:

Did you guys watch Luka's vibes this year? This trade was a must do.
At least Mavs have a chance now.
Yeah, Kyrie is a nutjob, yeah, he's an ingrate who stomps on hiatorical symbols, woke child with narcissictic views, but he's crazy talented, has been under attack and is coming with me vs the world attitude after what happened to him with the vaccine and with the movie.
Kyrie level talent doesn't hit the market under normal circumnstances.
Defense wins draft lotteries!

Cuban helped fund the movie Loose Change guys so he is pro conspiracy theorist and that makes him the only GM in the country who would take on Kyrie.

Though Kyrie is looking like a genius now for not allowing himself to be injected with the clot shot and all conspiracy theory's surrounding the Covid 19 scam have pretty much come true so if the odds are in your favor you go with the truth since it is about to explode on the MSM anyway since they are just starting to let the cats out of the bag.

Sorry guys if you got vaccinated but you need to study more the vaccine is deadly and there is a DOD report I heard says 1 in 40,000 who took it will be left alive in 7 years assuming you got the real vaccine since many countries are suing our pharmaceutical giants claiming they were sent fake vaccines. Victoria Newland even admitted on video that the bio labs in Ukraine are real so we are to blame more than China. The democrats did this to us all since this was their funded project so they will go down in history as being way more worse than the NAZI's and will end up being hunted down for war crimes just like we hunted down the NAZI's after ww2 only nobody is going to give them a place to hide like they did Hitler. They are toast and so are the leaders in other countries where they are known to have participated in the plot which is coming out soon.

The league probably offered Kyrie the chance to take a fake vaccine and he probably refused because of his integrity so that has to be factored in as a good thing not a bad thing.

When athletes are dropping dead everywhere else in the world because they got vaccinated and they are not doing that here in the states then the odds are they never got the real vaccine and instead the team doctors just used saline just like the politicians where doing in public. I sure hope that all of you who got vaccinated did not get the real vax. As an ex medical rep I heard what was in the vax and I wisely avoided it. Now the death statistics show I was justified in doing so. Want to learn more about it search for covid science library on telegram

As for Kyrie, his game is something Luka will need to adapt to and I am okay with this trade it gives Luka someone that can lead the offense when he is hurt or on the bench so his career is going to last longer now because Kidd will be able to rest him and he will be fresher in the 4th and not have to rush back from injuries and risk getting reinjured.

Wood may be thinking he needs to get paid but he has to slot in at the 3rd best guy on the team spot now so what that pay slot will have to be determined depending on Kyrie's new contract. Hopefully we can keep him since his defense has improved a lot and he is on a pace to be 4th in blocked shots since Kidd placed him into the starting lineup. He can play 3 through 5 so his versatility is very unique as well.

The three give us a good core to build around and with young talent in Green and Hardy maybe we get lucky and take the ring this year. We have Max coming back and Powell is okay off the bench. I would hope that Kidd can coach McGee into being a better player so we can count on him somewhat. Green may start now and Hardy, Bullock off the bench is decent as well. If they make a trade with THJ then hopefully we can get another rotation worthy player that fits better on D.

So back to basketball

Is it set that Green si the starting 3, or would that be Bullock?

Who cna we realitically target via trade to round out the starting 5? We need a PF and C? Dont think Dallas should keep Wood with irving as we need betetr guys in the lockeroom
