2025-26 NBA Season

That was definitely some backtracking after the fact trying to save face.

In the days and weeks following the trade, you were absolutely celebrating it and saying how smart of a move that it was. There are many here that can certainly corroborate this as well.

Ok you are backtracking now. So you initially said we won the trade lol. Now you’re saying I celebrated the move.

You’re clearly doing what you are accusing me of but if you are saying that I celebrated the move I did. I thought the move made total sense. Never denied that and I won’t now. And the only reason I did was because we got Flagg by trading Luka. And he wasn’t even directly involved in the trade.

You can’t anyone to corroborate what you are saying I literally gave you quotes from February lol. Go to the thread I just did and it took 4 minutes.

They are 5-15 because of injuries. AD is injury prone so can’t excuses that but Kyrie is much needed.

AD is not a long term answer to rebuild neither is Irving

Of course not. This was for short term. It was stupid but it was a short term plan. Nico was never gonna be here to see long term success.

It’s hard to be totally irrelevant in the NBA but Dallas has managed it .

Irrelevant in regards to what? You can’t be irrelevant with Cooper Flag

You sound like 7-10 no playoffs record MM in 2024 and being happy with absolute garbage of a record having settled in Maverick land .

It’s hard to miss the playoffs in the NBA but this group is headed there

I never said I was happy. You said “relevant”. I don’t care whether we are relevant or not. Relevance has no impact on winning which is why I asked what you meant.

This team is missing Kyrie. Our best player. We aren’t very good.

Even with Luka last year we weren’t good.

I’d love to be the worst team in the league and get a top 5 pick to go along with Flag. We are nowhere near as good as the Thunder. I think we should be trading a lot of these guys who may have value. I suspect the value on AD is low right now but if he can string some games around maybe we can get a nice haul for him.

Luka and Kyrie went to the finals .

I’ll give you another analogy. The Rangers won the WS 2 seasons ago last 2 yrs haven’t made the playoffs . Irrelevant team .

Now the GM is talking shedding payroll in what the 4th largest market in baseball with two not one billionaire owners . You have to compete for championships and you can’t do that without making the playoffs

Really no point in keeping CP3 around if you don't have a young base he can mentor, or don't have a shot for the NBA Finals.

I don't blame them for letting him go, I'm just more curious as to where he'll end up in what was supposed to be his farewell tour season.

Well Rangers for sure are irrelevant. I don’t think Mavs are that. Now do they suck? Yes.

Suck irrelevant it’s the same . Rangers at least finished .500 last season . Mavs won’t

Was reading that NY Knicks were the favorite last year when the rumors started spreading, and Giannis gave them exclusive negotiation rights, but now it's open for anyone.
