Gotta make sure he's at full strength for that season finale against the Spurs
The fool will get plenty of rest starting next week.

Two weeks too late.
Cuban makes it so hard to root for the Mavs. It's gotta be enjoyable for non-Mavs fans to watch this thing crash and burnChoppinDs40 said:Cuban is far worse than Jerry.Zachary Klement said:The Hoops Collective Podcast goes after Cuban!

Cuban is a cheap joke. Getting to be like Jerry Jones for me.
Jerry can get ANYONE to sign and play here. Cuban is not only a complete clown, he can't attract talent.
He's easily the worst Dallas sports owner.
Who are the biggest FA adds Jerry has attracted in recent times? I can't think of anyone big off the top of my head, but could easily be missing someone.ChoppinDs40 said:Cuban is far worse than Jerry.Zachary Klement said:The Hoops Collective Podcast goes after Cuban!

Cuban is a bum. He is lying all over the place about Brunson.

Yeah, that's actually just an anti Cuban narrative. The last big free agent the Cowboys signed was Brandon Carr in 2012.
The cowboys are known for drafting well recently, which is a bit different than the NBA strategy for good teams.
They made the Amari Cooper trade a few years ago and just this year spent low round picks on Cooks and Gilmore.
Mavs have tried making trades and they haven't worked out. They drafted Josh Green who is decent, but better players were drafted after him. Mavs don't typically have a first round pick, which is fine in the NBA as long as you are getting FAs, which the Mavs aren't.
signing big FAs isn't the name of the game in the NFL. Resigning your tip draft picks is... and we've done pretty well there (Zeke aside).
Oh, for sure, the Cowboys clearly have a much better process when it comes to drafting, trading for, and retaining players. I can think of far more hits than misses. Taco, Zeke, and Amari Cooper are the only screw-ups I can really think of in recent memory. Compared to hits on Micah, Zack Martin, Dak, CD, etc. and even though drafting Zeke so high and paying him so much was a mistake, it isn't like he was a complete bum.ChoppinDs40 said:

It is wild how poorly the Mavs have drafted, with the exception of Luka and Dirk.

2022 - Hardy was a good pick for where we got him.
2020 - Josh Green has been fine, but would rather have Tyrese Maxey or Desmond Bane. Tyrell Terry was a complete whiff and had multiple guys on NBA rosters taken after him. Same for Tyler Bey.
2018 - Brunson was obviously an incredible pick. So was Luka, of course.
2017 - DSJ was taken ahead of Donovan Mitchell, Bam Adebayo, and Jarrett Allen; three all stars.
2016 - AJ Hammons was taken with a throwaway second-rounder.
Then on top of that, none of the trades we've made have worked; whether it be KP, Seth Curry, or Kyrie.
Then we are incapable of signing free agents. Just a complete disaster.
No Shane Larkin shout out?
Sitting half the team tonight….bull***** I get the protected pick issue but still.
For the record, Tim Macmahon is an absolutely clown and it really sucks he's our primary Mavericks media source.Goldie Wilson said:Cuban makes it so hard to root for the Mavs. It's gotta be enjoyable for non-Mavs fans to watch this thing crash and burnChoppinDs40 said:Cuban is far worse than Jerry.Zachary Klement said:The Hoops Collective Podcast goes after Cuban!

Can't leave off Josh Howard, but yea we have just mostly missed on draft picks. However if you look at it objectively, for most of Dirk's career we were drafting eihter 20 or higher or not even in the 1st round.Zachary Klement said:It is wild how poorly the Mavs have drafted, with the exception of Luka and Dirk.

On that note, we were losing those draft picks in mostly failed trades, and that should be something they are criticized for as well.
When was the last time no Texas team was in the NBA Playoffs?
Has it ever happened?

I hope noone shows for the game. Team not trying to win, Im not interested either!

Unfortunately we have a chance if Luka is playing and Chicago is resting at least DeRozan and probably others as well.
Likely no DeRozan, LaVine, or Caruso.
This year would be the first time ever.Iowaggie said:

Kid and the GM and the owner should all be fired. Tonight's decision was stupid as ****.
I hope they stumble into a win and somehow OKC loses.
How do you explain **** like this to your kid that has been following this team all year long. "Sometimes you don't want to win".

Really? I'm upset they aren't trying hard enough to lose.
So because tanking is hard to explain to kids, it's bad strategy to do it? The mavs best chance at having a better team in the future is to keep their pick this year.
I just started watching. So Luka played in the first half and now we won't play him in the second half? I'm watching AJ Lawson and Frankie Smokes try to create offense.
This team is incapable of properly tanking. This is the worst down-the-middle play ever…

"Hey guys you have to score or else the Mavs are going to play with 4"
Kid says, "WTF are you guys doing? I said don't shoot"

Why did Luka play the first quarter? Either sit him or play him, I don't get it.
Is there some selfish reason that he had to play 1 quarter, like hitting a points milestone or something? Does he have a new girlfriend who was at the game and has never seen him play? Makes no sense at all.

This organization has gone full rahtard. It's kind of amazing.

The Mavs had designated this game as Slovenia night so Luka played 1 qtr
Reggie Bullock is playing. Jaden Hardy is not playing.
Hardy is celebrating the guys on the court as if Hardy has been a superstar in the league for years and he has been mentoring these guys who are finally getting a chance.

Ah ok thanks for the info.
Jason Kidd's answers today where he couldn't explain the approach and said he wasn't involved in the decision was a good look
Harp, Followill, and Skin talking about AJ Lawson as if he could be a rotation player on the Mavs next year is peak announcers who aren't used to watching tanking teams.
Great job by this lineup of Theo, Lawson, Wright IV, Holiday, and Bullock of allowing Chicago to come back from down 10+ to now lead.
We did it guys. We really did it.
#10 pick. Well done. That said, I don't anticipate any lottery luck and look forward to Nico drafting the next Bill Wennington.
Great loss guys. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory finally feels so good.
So we don't have the 10th pick locked up yet, I don't think. What are the reverse tiebreakers here.
I was so looking forward to talking **** to rockets fans for years to come. Mavs served us a giant portion of dog**** this year.
