RS 25/26 - Mavs vs Pacers (Wed, 8:30 PM EST)

[Dirk]

The Pacers are winless and really banged up.

Not even a week into the season, they are already dealing with injuries to Mathurin, Toppin, Andrew Nembhard, T.J. McConnell, Johnny Furphy, Kam Jones, and Taelon Peter.

[HMFFL]

Pacers are having a rough season.

We should get the win.

Pacers have been spanking us for awhile now...Let's win!

[41Dirk41]

An easy great W for the Nico vision.

[Archx]

All 3 main centers already with injury problems

Dwight Powell and Cooper Flagg era about to begin.

I like Brandon being questionable for personal reasons. Lively will take away street clothes nickname from AD, if he continues like this.

I don't know how is with professional athletes, by I have Achilles tendinopathy too, and still manage to play tennis 5x a week. Don't believe that should be something very serious for AD.

[41Dirk41]

Lively could be a big problem if can't play at least 60 games every season.

[dirkules_41]

Pacers usually dominate us. Both team have no players or chemistry. Pacers in 4.

[41Dirk41]

Powell in the S5? Kidd make that miracle. Please.

If he keeps playing 19min a game and puts up 5 points, 4 boards and 3 fouls then the only problem will be his tanking value. He needs to get his ass in gear - sure no more Luka lobs but surely this can't be it.

Lively is a C, who was drafted as a very good fit with Luka. He's horrible fit with AD.

[HMFFL]

Fair warning to Kidd: AD is no longer in his 20's if you're thinking 36mpg is wise.

Next seasons trade deadline is on my radar. If not this season, we need Lively to be healthy, and show some value, so we can trade him, or feel confident paying his qualifying offer.

Agree.

With one move they detroyed a Finals team, lost the fanbase ( but not in Mr B bar sport), reset the trade value of every player and ruin the ROY for Coop. Impressive. Very impressive.

I think Mr.B came around at this point, not sure it's fair to constantly poke at him But Mavs are now even in a legal battle with the Stars about the arena lol... This franchise has become cursed since new owners took over.

These are some quotes from fans on reddit..

After the whole Luka fiasco, the Mavs don’t have the City’s love like they think they do.
I’ve lived in Dallas my whole life. Mavs can **** off. There is nothing redeeming left in that ownership.


I moved back to Dallas to take care of my grandma. I literally bought my house in a location to be close to her and close to the green line to go to mavs games.
I cannot explain how much I loathe this ownership.


And many more followed by a lot of likes under those comments. So it's clear as a day it's not exactly like Mr.B was saying that people like Nico in Dallas now. But again, i think it's not fair towards him since we all know the truth.

This is why I think DLive will be dealt. What could a DLive/Martin trade return?

Someone around 14 mio salary. Josh Green for example. And I'm sure teams will be thrilled about Martin's 3 years guaranteed money.

So you're telling me there's a chance?

[Super Cooper]

Any interest in Quickly?

Getting Josh Green back? Sure.

Incredible how many bad players have or had good contracts because of Luka. Playing with selfish ball hog can make you good money in Nba.

In our situation he is gold... But i think he can just been a stop gap PG.
