Nico is quietly building something in Dallas...

"Quietly"

He is building something alright. Building it on a foundation of sand.

Grimes is def better. That Caleb playoff run was him just getting hot over a small sample size.

Imagine you’re on the Mavs right now.

You are definitely just waiting for the call you just got traded.

What an atmosphere that must be.

Good point. Caleb Martin should have stepped up and carried the team when Embiid/PG/Maxey missed 100 games combined over half the season :lol:

That was 2 years ago...as of this season Grimes plays less minutes but scores more points on better FG%...the only reason this trade was made is because Martin has a contract and Grimes is a FA...Grimes looked good in Dallas...I think Nico is Just trolling now...right now I'm Just waiting for the news that he's trading Kyrie for FVV and Lively for capspace :crazy:

Nico about to F this league up!

If the Mavs go on to win a championship you have to build this guy a statue in Dallas. He saw the vision when nobody else did.

Calling him a winning player based on one small sample size of one playoff run when he has never been able to even come close to replicating those shooting numbers is no different than calling him a losing player based on a larger sample size of him completely forgetting how to finish within the arc.

Only if they win a championship and Luka never wins a ring in his career, sure.
If Luka wins two championships this trade still looks like a disaster.

What are you guys clearly salary for? Tanking? Embiids about to comeback so that wouldn't work.

I wouldn't be so sure and the fact we got our own 2025 2nd pick back while not some huge coup or anything is telling of where Morey thinks this season is going

Pretty much a pure salary dump for the Sixers its looking like tho.

If I am not mistaken, it enters in the 200% rule.

As a mavs fan you can just roll over and take the punches. Its so sad. Never seen anything like it. I feel for you. Almost everyone does. There is allot of fan solidarity. Didnt see anything like that either.

I don't like this move for Dallas, very confusing what is going on. Grimes is better now and has more upside.

I feel sad for Dallas fans

True. Shooting splits are the only thing that matter in basketball.

What has Quentin Grimes done again?
