I am pissed the Sixers got a Top 3 pick. They already just had Two 1st overall picks in 2017 and 2018. Not are fault they fumbled the bag on a generational team.

At least now we know what Lakers (and the league) actually sent to Mavs in that deal. Interesting :lol:

The Mavericks best offer

Cooper Flagg + Daniel Gafford or Derek Lively + PJ Washington + Lakers 2029 1st round pick for Giannis + Mavericks

Thunder best offer

Jalen Williams + Isaiah Hartienstien + Cason Wallace +24th pick in the draft + 76ers 2026 1st round pick(top 4 protected)+Clippers 2026 1st round pick, Clippers 2027 pick swap option + Nuggets 2027 1st round pick(top 5 protected),Mavericks 2028 pick swap option,Nuggets 2029 1st round pick(top 5 protected)

The Thunder have more assets in terms of quantity. However the Mavericks simply have better quality due to Cooper Flagg. I think the Bucks will likely choose the Mavericks over the Thunder package if it came down to those 2 teams.

there is zero chance of Dallas trading possibly the best white American player since Bird after the Luka fiasco.

come ON.

Cooper Flagg is a unknown that has Superstar upside, while Giannis is a proven Superstar. Why wouldn't Mavericks do it if they have the chance to do so? They're in win now mode and them trading Cooper Flagg for Giannis would makes them a true Championship contender.

You ever been to Dallas?

If the Mavs simply fired Nico tonight I'd bet 95% of the fans would be back in 100%

They really should, franchise saving pick and fan-saving firing combo.

It's insane how many options now Mavs have to actually build a very deep and strong team for the next season. It's wild how Nico got bailed out for the Luka/Grimes trades.

Sixers traded up to #1 in 2017, hop off it.

They won a chip a few seasons which is more than you can say for several older and more popular and historic franchises.

6 years ago.

It's been a pretty steep decline since. Not sure what Masai's doing over there.

The NBA is rigged.

The MAVS trade of LUKA was so dumb, it obvious the NBA made a dirty deal to give them the first pick.

I hope the NBA dies.

Go Jazz
