What a sad story...
The fact Weaver is still not fired, tells the story of the FO and ownership.


Yea crazy. But they have a darn good player in the making in Ausar. He was one of my faves going in to the draft. Duren is nice, but Cade has been rather disappointing and everyone knew Hayes was a terrible pick the moment they made it.


Ausar and Cade are star material... I like them very much.

They need vets and a different Locker room mentality, it's almost useless draft good rookies every year in that situation.

They had the money to sign Brunson, and they were the ones that allowed the Kincks to dump salary dirt cheap to snatch him, imagine Brunson/Cade backcourt.
Weaver should be fired...

The bloodbath in the west continues, Wolves aren't going away, they are the new Grizzlies, Nuggets will pull it together, they are too good not to, but after that, 3-10 are interchangeable, every game matters.

Things are getting serious now.
Mavs are tied with Clipper at 5/6 spot and half a game ahead of the Pelicans at 7th, Mavs play the Clippes, Rockets, Spurs and Suns on Christmas day, bad stretch and Mavs will be in play in territory, west is really unforgiving this year.

One can hope they come back rested and close to what they were in the good days...

Problem is that they won't bring what Mavs desperately need, scoring outside Luka, paint D and rebounding.

The backup or stopgap big trade got a lot harder to do with NY now losing Mitchell Robinson for the year. NY can offer so much more for many of the guys we want.

What is the thought process you have when you say this?

Like how are the Pacers even dragged into this? Yeah the Spurs are down but just started their rebulid.

The Pistons haven't won a playoff game since 2008.

There's literally no connection here whatsoever.

The amount of nonsense that comes from you is hilarious.

You just throw teams into a sentence with no connection then toss in Cuban into the equation. Lol

Man, you were the first to throw in the mix other teams (lottery team of course) when someone try to criticize Cuban... You are tasting your own medicine.

I know it's bad, i'm sorry for you.

Locked on Pistons tonight ,he was pissed off . He said if he wakes up tomorrow and there's not a firing or a trade he was going to lead the media in calling for the firing of Weaver or Monte Williams . He said Cade Cunningham was on the verge of tears after the game and management was breaking the spirit of their young players.
He called out the owner to quit being indecisive and make changes now ,It was pretty fuc*ing dramatic.

We have a lot of good vets for their locker room... Powell, kleber, curry , Morris, we can resign Pinson and Boban for them ecc ecc

Cade and Steward will be nice here.
