Need a win to build on the good effort. Grayson Allen is coming off a career high, let's hope he doesn't injure Coop.

The Suns have been playing good. Won 3 straight and 5 of their last 6 games.
Mavs are favored by 1pt.

Every game needs to be a blowout loss so it will force ownership to sell.
Sell the team, Dumont.

That is not going to happen. I actually think Dumont likes his role now. After fireing Nico and admitting his mistake he kind of humbled back to earth do his own kind of rebuild and trying to get the fans back.

Agreed. Making owners sell the team is hyperbole. Fans act like owners can be fired lol.
Nico definitely got rid of the dry powder.

If owners could be fired Dallas would have run Jerry Jones out of town a long time ago.

Dumont went from a hands off owner to reviewing medical records, what a tale...

Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

No Booker and Luka rivalry, so Cooper Flagg needs to punch Booker in the face, so there is a new rivalry.

Let Coop push Booker, then have Naji fill in. I like Naji as Coop's backup in all instances lol

Already making good decisions post-Nico. An AD Achilles rupture would be a nightmare.

Rivalry or no rivalry, someone needs to punch Booker in the face.

We Saints fans are happy Jerry has held the reins so firmly since Jimmy lol. Talk about Hubris. Maybe he'll bring Nico on?

Rooting for a loss here. Mavs need a high pick in the draft.

Gawd, watching watching Martin on the court is painful. He makes me miss Rigaudeau.

PJ out with shoulder injury. Organic tanking baby! Let's get a high pick.

It is even more painful to know that he is under contract for few more years, and we trade away Grimes to get him...............

Ideal outcome IMO, competetive losses, PJ was risking this so they took him out with the shoulder injury.

If the Mavs land any of the top 3 picks, then I think it's good. That draft pick + Flagg with Christie and Lively if they're still here will be part of the future core. Flagg is just turning 19 next year, and the rookie they'd draft will also be 18. That's a solid core.
