Maybe Jason Kidd can fill in for Kyrie. Need a guy to handle the ball and he wouldn't raise the average age of the roster much at all

Going from 10-year championship window to fire sale in the span of a month is truly nasty workFriscoKid said:Quote:
That doesn't change the fact that it's still a good roster.
It sucks and it's a complete rebuild thanks to the GM. Sell off everything for draft picks at this point.

The Brunson narrative has gotten out of control in the past month also.
He was borderline unplayable in the Clippers series in 21 and he was all but headed to his dad in NY by the middle of that offseason. It would have taken $20 million+ to get him to sign the extension and the Mavs would have been crazy to agree to that after how he played in the playoffs.
People have let their emotions completely get ahold of them.
No, he was all but gone before the season.
Never mind that it's hard to have a fire sale when all the goods are broken and held together with duct tape.Goldie Wilson said:Going from 10-year championship window to fire sale in the span of a month is truly nasty workFriscoKid said:Quote:

haha i didn't realize it's an NBA rule that a team MUST have 8 active players. I'm curious what would have happened if they were down 1 more man? Like, would the NBA allow them to activate another G leaguer?
All offense intended with the following.500,000ags said:
Fandom since 2000 (since I was 11) and these cretin outsiders just ripped this org to shreds.
If you have been a fan that long, there is NO possible way you could ever consider rooting for the Spurs instead.
Same, and every person I actually know feels the same as we do. They arent ready to just forever give up on the Mavs, but they are definitely done with actively following this season, and are very upset with the front office.zgolfz85 said:
I've still yet to see a single person I know whether on here or real life renewing season tix
I'm sure we all will keep tabs on the team, and if they manage to make the playoffs we will see if we all actually don't watch or not.
(I probably will, just due to the fact that I always watch the nba playoffs..and I DO like the guys on the team that are still there)
I'm watching highlights of Luka, and occassionally catching stretches of their games live, but definitely not becoming a Lakers fan. I think that would be weird for any adult to do....now for kids that are like 8 to 22-23 who Luka has been their guy, maybe couldnt blame them for swapping.
agreed on all. I'll always root for Luka...sucks that it's LAL of all teams that he went to.PatAg said:Same, and every person I actually know feels the same as we do.

I've honestly polled like 20 people I know with season tix....NONE are renewing. I know that's anecdotal, but I have to think ownership and the FO has to be in crisis mode now. Surely they're seeing that kind of sentiment arena-wide, and likely from corporate box owners and sponsors too. What a ****ing comedy of business errors. You absolutely have to fire Nico if you're Dumont and co now. Initially, that would have been silly and viewed as admitting a mistake that you didn't want to admit....but at this point, you have to do it to have a fighter's chance of not losing the city and fanbase for a long time. He has to be your scapegoat.
I'll personally be rooting for the Cavs, loosely. I like their roster, I like the blue collar mentality. They've got a young group that's fun to watch and an ownership group that gets it. The fact they were able to weather the on again off again Lebron eras and get back to top contender status in relatively short order and with youth is impressive. And, I think we're all tired of Boston on top of it.
at this point, anyone but Boston
Yeah, I feel you. I did not pay as much attention to it after he left...he was gone and it seemed like we were still in fine shape. I was also super high on Hardy after the draft lolPatAg said:I wasnt meaning to call you out, but more just quotes and articles that have come out after the fact (including from Brunson himself)Zachary Klement said:I was off on the Brunson thing.PatAg said:Yea, Im not buying the revisionist history.

The Mavs went from always being known for loyalty and the 2011 run, to now being known as the team that traded Luka. Luka was going to be an extension of what made the Mavs great, and now it's this bull***** For Christs sake, this team is owned and run by Sheldon Adelson's (who I already didn't care for) offshoots.
Plus, the Mavs & Spurs hate has morphed into mutual respect over the years. Tony Parker credited Dirk for being the best NBA Euro ever. These two teams gave me some of the best rivalry sports competition of my lifetime.

Yea, but you never change up and start rooting for your rival...500,000ags said:

I don't actively root against the Spurs anymore. I don't actively root for the Mavs right now, so it's just even I guess.
