I agree!

Yall are forgetting about Killa Klay. When Klay goes unconscious it’s a wrap for any team. He still had those games last year. Yes, he went 0/10 in the last game, but it sound like the whole season was trash for him…his heart wasn’t in it. We get get Killa Klay back and Mavs are going to be the team to beat next year!

Man Nico got down. I loved DJJ but Marshall is an upgrade. Same for Grimes and Green. Klay is basically getting the Hardaway Jr shots. Championship loading

its been so fun to be mavs fan these past few months and it just keeps getting better

Naji Marshall acquisition is gonna be as impactful as the Klay trade. Naji is a major upgrade from DJJ.

Fair

Luka needs to shave off 2 three point attempts per game and give them to Klay. Luka has a tendency to settle for threes, but Dallas is so much better with Luka attacking the paint and finding shooters. He was clearly injured in the playoffs, so his penchant for jacking up bad three point attempts (rather than driving) was grossly exaggerated. He can get that step back three at any point in the possession, so why not probe for a better shot before taking the three?

If Dallas would open their eyes, they'd realize they have another potential Brunson in Jaden Hardy. When he played minutes throughout the playoffs and finals albeit trash time, dude was a walking bucket, and for a team struggling to put points on the board idk why J. Kidd never took a gamble and inserted the young fella. His bag seems deep imo. But I'm a nobody so idk lol😂

He was the 2nd off the bench most of the playoffs..first guard off the bench but when Luka and Kyrie are playing over 40 minutes a game there’s no minutes left for him

Just FYI… Mavs didn’t get three 2nd round picks for THJ… they GAVE UP three 2nd round picks for Grimes

too be fair i could of scored 20 that night klay scored 37 points in a quarter......jk Klay is great will always be great no matter where he goes. west gonna be tough as hell

Can't wait for this coming season! I'll be there at the AAC for around 20 games as usual and will watch every single other one on TV! Let's go Mavs!

Warriors needed to reduced financial burden taking one big salary out between Curry, Green and Thompson, they choose Thompson, giving him the only option of reducing salary. It wasn’t the reduction what hurts, it was the fact that he was the chosen one. Warriors could have requested a split reduction among three of them, that could have been more fair. But I guess curry considered he is still contributing way more. About Green contribution… I guess Warriors like his punches

Kyrie plays 1 good game and 2 bad games so...KLAY the same...

Nico deserves a lot of credit in making a dollar out of fifteen cents. Grant Williams was not going to work out and he corrected that quick. Grimes looks like a more polished version of what we wanted Green to be. Excellent defender and can make hustle plays. When resigning DJJ was complicated due to him changing agents, he pivoted to Naji. He's also more polished than DJJ offensively. DJJ can jump through the roof but his 3s were not hitting consistently during the Finals. Klay should be a seamless fit.

Naji Marshall can shoot the rock as well!!!

Klays gunna come out and drain em this year 💯

All them boys will be eating, Luka gets doubled more than anyone in the league

just for proof

Jones JR. is a huge loss and although the acquisition of Naji and Grimes softens that blow quite a bit, it doesn't nullify it. Mavs Perimeter Defense is worse, but we didn't lose in the finals because of defense, we lost because we were literally breaking records for horrific shooting. We needed an offensive spark and if we brought Klay in to be our second option scorer, this would be a mistake. But as our likely third scoring option? Tasked with nothing but hitting open shots? Yeah we rollin. Welcome aboard Klay

Nobody knew DJJ was as elite defensively as he was until the season started and he showed it. He averaged like 15 minutes off the bench for the bulls before coming to start for the mavs. I whole heartedly think the physical defensive style of naji will be better throughout the long season/playoffs than DJJs wirey plays style because it tends to wear down opposing player more. Similar to Lou Dort.

The Dallas Mavericks have the Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. It will demolish all the haters. Yes the Celtics shot better by 3 in the finals but they were held to Playoff LOWS!

Mavericks can only improve if Luka takes less shots and becomes a better playmaker. I disagree that argument he had no one to pass it too. The guy has no business shooting 10 3s a game period. If you told me Kyrie got more shot attempts because there is no one else to pass it to then I agree but Luka shooting that many bad shots just hurts the team. why would I want Luka to shoot 10 3s over Luka shooting 6 but in return Kyrie shot 2 more and you split 4 3s between Pj/Green/Djj/Thj? it doesn't even make sense that the answer to a poor Dallas shooting performance would be Luka shoot bad step back shots ruin everyones rhythm and force the others to get only late shot clock attempts.
