It's absolutely incredible how Jazz were suppose to be tanking and somehow ended with a more balanced roster than freaking Mavs who wanted to contend

I've been pretty gung-ho about getting a bunch of them. Few others like Mavrelous too. Then there were others that kept trashing the idea of trading for these guys because they were so called "corpses."
Literally any of those players would be a big help right now.

They are playing amazing basketball. Move the ball really well, particularly when Conley is in the game. They are my 2nd most watched team right now because it's a joy to watch them.

This game was a prime example of what we are in for this season. I do think we will make moves by the deadline. There is going to be a lot of movement in the league and if the Mavs are not involved I’m going to have to side eye the FO. We will not have success depending on Luka so much. If our shots aren’t falling we look extremely bad and that shouldn’t be the case.

Felt like luka didnt even try to get into his postup spot this game. The ones he took weee further out, no wonder they were short

We were linked with Markannen two seasons ago and we could have got him reasonably cheap considering the contract he got from Cleveland. However we didn't pull the trigger because of concerns with his fit next to KP. Just another disappointing FO decision.
We've also been linked to Olynyk for what seems like years and yet it's never eventuated. Instead, we give out bloated long term contracts to guys like Powell, THJ and McGee. We can only blame ourselves unfortunately

Jazz, Nuggets, Pelicans, Suns, Blazers and Grizzlies all won yesterday, not a great outcome.
Feels like Luka struggles against ORL in FL, last year was one of his worst games there, with awful attitude, 2 years ago he was really limited by Aaron Gordon, and THJ and Burke had the game of their lives there.

Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

The problem is these same players wouldnt be nearly as good playing with Luka. He just has the ball too much and that wouldnt change if the Mavs had some of those players. That will only change when Luka starts to play differently, until then the Mavs will not be serious contenders.

Oh yeah, it's all Luka's fault... Well, we can trade him and take a player who shares the ball with Bullock,DFS, Kleber, Powell ecc ecc

You build around lukas game, not adapting luka to roleplayers.
Taking the ball out of lukas hands, kidd tries that every 2nd half this season. Thats when he scores like 3-10 points and isnt involved. While 1st half he handles it and can score 30. Its insanity to even discuss limiting your best player. Nets, should they take the ball out of kyries hands and have him play offball to seth and harris?
People here just like to complain. I find it amusing

You want to bet Dallas will never win a Championship as long as Luka is there? How much?

Mavs actually drafted Olynyk.

Oh yeah.... With Bullock, DFS, Kleber, Powell, McGee, THJ ecc ecc it's impossible to win the ring.
You are right, Doncic will never win a title in Dallas.... Just like LeBron in the first stint in Cleveland.
Same argoments.
Well... I don't remember nobody tell those bull now

Luka is not LeBron. He can barely walk after 9 games of the season. The only real comparison between them is horrible FT shooting. LBJ is basketball god for Doncic. He will have to start eating less and stop drinking beer and rakija in the summer.

Luka hater here
You are right, physically LeBron was/is years ahead of Luka but talking about offensive basketball skills Luka is better than him.
Well, LeBron needed Bosh and Wade for win his first titles... Give them to Luka and then we can start to discuss.
