Because he can't do almost anything in the court. He was lottery pick only because his physical attributes, but even there is he few years away. He needs to become much stronger for starters.

How many minutes of the 3 games have you actually watched? lol


All. He made 2 dunks in first 2 games and few weak screams. In game 3 Poirier looked like all star player in comparison to him. And no, he didn't play only against Gobert and Towns, he played against Wolves reserves too.

Bar is set extremely low for him and that would be ok, if Kidd is not starting him.

Point is, Mavs will have rookie C starter and Powell as backup. Far the worst centre lineup in the league.

Thanks for the conversation.

Guess what there's team with absolutely crap backcourts or wings.

If Bob was an owner he would clone himself for the players, trainers, GM, and everyone else.

No, I would employ competent people to build and run the team. No exactly Cuban's thing though. Esj would be great for writing motivational speeches.

Nobody in Nba is waiting anymore like Dirk had. You could see where Luka's loyalty is in Madrid.

This is an all time great comeback. Hate to tell you I want the team to succeed every year but I understand that not always feasible and there's 29 other teams trying to win.

You must have missed where I said I'm not a Cuban guy AT ALL.

Again do better.

Yep probably. But i also think Mavs went cheap on them with forcing McGee in a package with THJ and no additional draft picks.

I don't trust too much on that story... It would have been too stupid even for Cuban and Harrison, probably the source was close to Mavs FO.

I'm for "I'm Phoenix and we drafted Ayton before Doncic, i will never trade him to Mavs"

I like how you take the sports but in Europe we prioritize the goal... and if you want to win (i remember that Luka and Kyrie are here for this) then a starting rookie C with Dwight freakin Powell like back-up is a moron move.
We have different mindset. Happens.

And yes, i have read your post but it doesn't show your real attitude but just empty words, like all of your opinionated posts.

But you won. Congrats. Again.

If we want to talk about empty posts how about saying Cuban is dumb daily several times a day for starters. Sorry this isn't Europe, but you are following a team in the NBA and if you cant grasp some of the concepts after years that sounds like a you problem.

Last year's concept was, give McGee 3 years deal and promise him starting role and this year concept is, draft 5/5 college player, who has 0 already developed basketball skills, and give him starting role? Great concepts. :D

And here comes Bob acting like ever said giving McGee a 3 year deal was a homerun (please find the post). The team isn't going to do what you always want them to do which seems very hard for you to grasp. This will be twisted into pro Cuban I'm sure like it always does, but the franchise has done a lot better than most since he's taken over (You'll come up with something) Since your a fanboy you likely don't remember what the team was before he purchased it. I live in Detroit where the Pistons made the ECF six straight years since Cuban took over and they have a losing record in that same timeframe.
