If you were thinking "what? we got max christie for a second rounder and a fat slovenian?", then wait for what Anthony Davis* will do to Kristaps.

*if he is healtht to play. Waiting for Nico's medical report.

What is going on with PJ? 3rd game out, because of personal reasons.

AD will not play

Mavs trading Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis because of player health concerns doesn’t add up.

Was more like "he fat, he gone" :D And now that recent videos and pics are coming out from Lakers practice, people are like "wtf Nico talking about this ain't 270 pounds". It's absolutely hilarious to read those comments.

Much-needed morale-boosting win. Christie is nice.

Still f*** you Nico

Just a short and quick message to congrate you guys on a very good win (the final margin really flattered us in the end) especially coming in a very painful and hurtful week for Mavs fans.

Klay was amazing. And that Christie kid looks a gem.

Best of luck for the rest of the season folks.

Jason Kidd almost blew the game in the end. The starters were tired because they were defending. You got to go back to your bench int hat 4th quarter and let them match the Celtics energy. We found a way to hold on but Kidd has to be better in the future. We're missing some guys so we shouldn't have that problem when healthy. Game ball - Klay Thompson.

I'm just happy we got the win even with the bad 4th. Everyone played well. Christie is looking very good in his 1st 2 games. Kidd playing him 30 minutes in his 1st 2 games shows he really likes him too. He's really hustling out there and seems to have good IQ on both ends.

Also Exum in his limited minutes that he could play was VERY good. He's been getting better and better.

Shows how much better this team is with anything close to a pure point.

Max Christie is surprisingly good.

Technically the trade is AD and 2 first round picks if you think about it. Max is very young and could count as a first rounder.

Christie looks very good, I remeber when the Lakere signed him for that deal, my 1st response was "who??"

Basically this, Christie looks like a potential future star, he's only 22 in a few days.

With that being said you just don't do what Nico just did. You just don't.

Not a future star but a solid starter for sure... But we gave up a 25yo franchise player :lol:

Mavs have to win 2 titles, Christie has to turn into an all star, and 2029 pick has to be a lotto pick for me to forgive that total idiot for making that decision.

What I just said was must have a good chance of happening in Nico's head when he made that decision.
