In-fairness though, Dallas has not had a chance to run the dream with a healthy lineup, so it’s a bit premature.


Well when major guys you made moves for in Davis and Irving are injury prone, that goes into the calculus. Davis has has like one relatively healthy season in his past 8. Same for Kyrie if count the season he played 67.

That doesn't even touch on trading away a Doncic.

Trading Luka was similar to but more egregious than trading Chris Webber for old Mitch Richmond and Otis Thorpe.

Davis and Irving both have rings. However, Nico didn't factor in age and injury likelihood. Davis is clearly declining. How effective will he and Kyrie be after the All-Star break?

Nico Harris won't be around to see it. Not even lucking up on Cooper Flagg could save him.


I agree on all points.

Funny thing is that Wizards Mitch Richmond and Thorpe have been better than this version of Davis who has only played 9 out of the 45 games and appeared to have been eating like Dallas Luka this offseason.

They'll be in the convo with the Mavs, NOP, and Kings all falling apart... but I think no

- They have been immensely healthy, and now Green is out for a while.
- Most of their guys are having the best season of their careers. Regression due
- Their top 4 3PT shooters are AVERAGING 43% from 3
- While they beat the Spurs... The Clippers, Jazz, NOP, and Kings are all pretty bad.

Lucky OKC, the gift that just keeps on giving... watch, they will get the #1 pick in the draft.

BTW, anyone notice that ROY Stephon Castle is still playing pretty well sans the the 3 point shooting?
