Nico was playing chess lol.

Nico stumbled into looking like a savant or genius on this one. Boy did he ever get bailed out big time. Flagg coupled with Davis and the pieces they have should get every Mavs fan excited. Flagg could well be Larry Bird like and lift this team to huge heights. Lakers will be in the downhill slide conversely.

Rolando Blackman is so clutch. He buried those ping pong balls just like he was shooting threes again . Always liked him.

No, sorry. Nico still looks like a complete moron. He’s literally the complete opposite of a genius.
You should have had Flagg plus a whole host of other players and high draft picks.
(Please see the 2019 OKC Thunder- LA Clippers Paul George trade for comparison of what a genius trade looks like)

I wouldn’t do it. I’d do AD straight up and a second rounder….Flagg to me is like top tier trade piece he’s not a throw in.

Wow. You definitely didn’t catch the sarcasm in that post.

He is obviously trolling and making fun of Nico.

No one in their right mind would make that trade. (Except of course Nico)

Look at this fool trying to compare blood clots that required surgery to getting slightly slapped in the face and leaving in a wheelchair ........ pretty much explains all your others DA takes.

I don’t assume sarcasm anymore after some of the posts I’ve seen over Luka. It’s almost like a sick cult.

So far I’ve been right on everything and it burns you lol. Now I’m telling you In Nico We Trust and you still don’t trust the process.

Rolando saves the organization …

You see the vision.

It could be a perfect situation for Flagg when/if the vets get healthy. The potential starting lineup is:
PG: Irving
SG: Thompson
SF: Flagg
PF: Davis
C: Lively

You have size, youth, experience, defense, handles, shooting. That’s a well rounded lineup. And Flagg isn’t pressured to do too much.

Then you got Naji and PJ as your 6th and 7th man….and Gafford.

All of this just to see Nico Draft Dylan Harper or Ace Bailey would be funny.

Kidding a side the Mavs still wont win jack in the future. Next Season is already a punt since Kyrie wont return before January and its highly questionable how he returns from that injury late in his career.



AD is also on the downside of his prime being over 30 and injury prone. Thompsons wheels are almost falling off.

They need to rebuild around Flagg who is just 18 but its hard to see that a lineup of Kyrie, Klay, Flagg, AD and Lively/Gafford will get much time together. Let alone next season.

Exactly. kyrie and AD are 33 and 32. At best they are good supporting cast / role players for a team with a chance to barely make the playoffs. Even healthy, this team isn't good enough to compete against OKC or MN or Denver. Nico really screwed the pooch on the Luka trade robbing the team of the draft capitol that should have come with trading a young superstar. At the very least, that trade should have been AD and 2 first round draft picks.

So, now we rebuild around Cooper Flagg and try to add with a first round pick next year before we go 4 straight years with no first round picks.

It’s May though.

Reports are they are interested in a point guard.

They have plenty of trade for center needy teams. They won’t win the championship in November they may stink by who knows what they look like in March….
Because I don’t see any unbeatable teams right now. T Wolves our biggest threat?

You were not getting AD and two firsts lol. I don’t know what type of player you guys think AD is but he’s widely considered a top 15 player in the prime of his career.

You can’t go 4 straight years without a first rounder…..

They have their 2025 first rounder, 2026, 2028, 30….they are fine.

A.D. and Luka are nowhere near in the same category of superstar or NBA commodity.

At the very least, the trade should’ve been for A.D. plus 2 high first round draft picks.

For NFL comparisons, that trade was like trading a young Patrick Mahomes for Dak Prescott and one first round draft pick a few years from now.
Any competent GM would laugh in your face with that trade offer.

I never said AD and Luka were in the same category lol….what I’m saying is you weren’t getting an All NBA talent at and multiple first rounders. It never happens.

AD is regards as one of the best two way big men of his era. If he could stay healthy he’d be top 5.

I agree id rather have gotten a Paul George type deal with a young player and bunch of draft picks…..but when they were adamant on getting a star that wiped that out.

They tried to get Wemby and Ant…two great two way players and got laughed off the phone. I wonder was there ever a time we could’ve traded Luka for Ant…. He’s exactly what we need.
