MFFL here. J7st w8 until next season. If they can get another 5 they can put lively at the 4. That means you can put PJ at the 3 and play an older ky off the bench or rest luka from time to time 😅 th8s team is 1 piece away from a dynasty. Not just a chip. Hardy is about ready to elevate his game too with ky as a mentor. Stacked at every position except the 4. 1ll we need is a defensive 5. Get addams for that tbh.

On the other end, brooklyn was glad to get rid of him. That's what it honestly felt like they were doing; getting rid of him. Kyrie was probably right when he implied he didn't feel respected there. Personally as a boston resident I was happy when he left Boston. Cause I felt like we did NOT deserve a player like kyrie. Boston fans treated him like trash after 1 disappointing post season, and it made my stomach turn. Kyrie is EXCELLENT. And I'm glad he landed in a place like Dallas where the fans, his teammates, and even the local media over there all appreciate him simply being there. It really is a blessing. I'm gonna be honest... my dream finals this year is mavericks beating boston in the finals. Cause boston's gonna kill tatum if he disappoints. And he might want out. We don't appreciate the good things we have in life. Time to wake up.

I'm so glad someone is highlighting these truths. Mavs are suddenly younger, more athletic and more versatile than we've ever seen in the Luka era, and gave up relatively little to accomplish it: - Kyrie was considered damaged goods - PJ and Gaff were hidden gems on terrible teams - DJJ was boiled down to a dunk contest guy You compared PJ and DJJ's versatility to Reggie Bullock but I'm comfortable going further and including some of our other past "3&D guys" like our beloved Dorian Finney-Smith. Any time either of those guys (or really anyone) put the ball on the floor, I expected a turnover. Not anymore. Love the age point too but it's not just their age - most of them are under contract for multiple years so Mavs should finally have some continuity with the same young core for the first time in what feels like decades. Great video. Keep grinding ✊

It also took patience to land Gafford. Last off season they were looking at Ayton and Capella. Two worse players with horrible contracts and they were trying to squeeze Josh Green out of the deal. Instead Nico stayed patient, got a younger, better, cheaper option at the trade deadline instead of a panic move to start the year.

This is peak Kyrie Tyrone Lue even said that he wished he had this version of Kyrie back in Cleveland. Saying the difference was I think that Cleveland version Kyrie was focused more on scoring, forcing shots, while this version of Kyrie is letting the game come to him, flowing within the game, not forcing anything. And on top of that, Kyrie been playing amazing defense and playmaking So glad he's a Mavericks 😭😁

Glad you mentionend Kyries defense in game 2. He played like he's on a mission. I'm not the biggest Kyrie fan, but he's great with Dallas and you have to respect his game. Great player.

I'm just glad that the team is finally clicking.. when Kyrie got traded, Luka probably felt overwhelmed.. he's the leader of the team but now someone who has the same resume comes in.. hence why there were times where he and Kyrie keeps passing the ball to each other waiting for the other to shoot.. but I'm glad Kyrie voiced out his role in the team.. he's the veteran.. can still be the leader but more of a supportive leader than the alpha.. Luka embraced that head role and now both of them looks so happy and comfortable with their roles.. add in some young talents and man I'm just glad they are contenders.. I still don't expect them to win the chip.. I want them to since they're my second favorite team after the Bucks.. but if they keep this up I expect a chip from them soon..

I was thinking Mavs fans would eventually get sick of PJ missing 3s but I guess he has bought himself some more time. Tonight a friend of my wife's bought me some packs of hoops and I got a green Grant Williams 😂

Even then the Mavs were already way better. We were just completely injured untill the start of February. That did cost us at least 5-10 wins and was the main reason for our defensive problems. For over 2 months we missed at least 2 mostly 3 starter/role player. And they also changed every other week. Means no consistency whatsover. Our starting lineup changed basically every other game. The Trades did just put us over the edge from a good team, to a possible contender. Together with finally having a healthy and consistent starting lineup.

If they manage to get a ring Luka and kyrie going to shut the whole NBA for good

Damn right! I just can't understand how or why everyone overlooks Jones JR. The guys has become an over achiever. What every thing has in common is Nico Harris the Dallas GM. He knows everyone who has ever played the game and is still alive from working at Nike. I couldn't believe he took the job at Dallas, or even why he took the job. He knows all the young players at Dallas and across the league since they were kids. I didn't think he had a chance with the Dallas roster and trade capital. Now I can't believe what he's accomplished. Great Video, including Jones JR.

that DJJ signing was a steal. Fits well into Jason Kidd’s defensive schemes while not totally being a zero on offense. Something that he must have been looking for in the likes of DFS and Reggie in the past.

I love the mavs but their only reliable offensive players are luka and Kai. Their role players are dismally unreliable.

Our two headed Center is the best in the league, 20ppg, 13.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 3.3 blocks. Plus they never get tired and never foul out. Plus Lively is only 20 and learning from the best.

What’s the music? 4:34

All credit to GM Nico!

The great thing is that Kyrie can finish his career at Dallas (which he will if they keep winning). That gives them security for the next 2-3 years before they have to find a replacement point guard. All the other guys are young so no worries there if they keep performing. They could legit go for championship with this team and do minor tweaking/trades in the following years to keep the team strong.

All I's gotta say is: Kyrie - God the Father Luka - The Son Gafford - The Holy spirit

tbh, as a Mavs fan, don't blame the media at the end of last season, but LOOK, thank goodness we're not phoenix or the clips. Think we look a little better now

Mavs definitely made some great moves. Only player that I really don't want to see back this next season is THJ. Between being horribly streaky and his dad running his mouth saying Lukas teammates hate him, the Heat can have that bum and send us Duncan Robinson.

It is so sad to see that the one time Luka has a legit team around him, a team I can totaly see winning it all in right circumstances, he gets injured to the point he is barely rven running up and down whole PO long. Like what are the chances? Hope next season they keep healthy because this is a legit team in every aspect.

Luka taught kyrie to chill and have fun with it

Woj hating on every team that's not his pistons 😂i can't blame him tho im biased towards my fav team to

The thing is, some of the bad FO move from Dallas is due to old regime of Donnie Nelson 1. After Luka's rookie season Donnie feels like he should make a splash on that off season trading for an injured KP giving knicks a slew of their 1st, we all know how a returning from injury KP and a KP that thought he's the number 1 in dallas pan out to the org 2. Not extending brunson is a tale of 2 story, one he was abyssmal on those clippers playoff series making the FO not giving him that extension immediately and second he flourish and develop more on that 2022 season due to KP being traded making him the second option full time, he was going to NY after that season the writing is all on the wall specialty when his father got hired there 3. The new GM Nico Harrison's tenure so far has been spectacular so far, he was making moves with depleted asset since a lot of their picks are owed to NY A. He manage to cut the large KP contract into spencer and bertans which in turn are used to trade for Kyrie and get the pick swap to the thunder for DLive B.
