can't believe we ever let a dude with that hairline have so much power. if you're black and have that hairline...when simply shaving bald is a major upgrade, you're a failure. a lot of us wouldn't look better with a bald head...this guy clearly would. Just adds to his reetardation
yep....most of us would die to not look terrible with a bald head. meanwhile, these jokers just walking around taking it for granted and looking as dumb as we do bald with their 7 head hairlinesGuitarsoup said:zgolfz85 said:

Next season is shot also. Not enough people have brought this sad fact up, but the truth is that Kyrie will never be that guy again. He will be a 34 year old coming off an ACL tear the next time we see him on a court. That doesn't mean he has to retire, but we will never see this All-Star version of Kyrie on a court ever again. If deployed properly, he could play out his age 34-37 seasons (assuming he wants to go that long) in a tertiary shooting role and probably still be effective. I would love to see him with Luka in LA.shack009 said:
Also Lively, Martin, and Gafford should not play again this season. PJ and Klay probably not either. This season is shot. Need to get as healthy as possible for next season.
Let Naji and Christie get as much work with the ball as possible, because we'll probably need to see a lot of it next season.
Lots of people going to need to be healthy and playing good ball until Kyrie gets back.
M.C. Swag said:Great summation and 100% agree. 10 years at BEST. Just look at some of these franchises that have been tanking for YEARS and are still nowhere close to contending (Charlotte, Washington, Chicago, NOLA, ect.). The Mavs have to do something that's never happened in their history; get lucky with their lottery slot. THEN they have to get lucky with the talent available. THEN they actually have to make the right pick. THEN they have to do that at least 2 more times. THEN they can maybe conceivably start to contend.Quote:
That leaves the 2032 draft as the first one where you can "tank" and keep your high drafted players. That could still easily become another 5 year process before you hit on a few picks and they mature. Mavs are probably 10+ years from being relevant again.
That string of maybes can take a minimum of 5 years for a team WITH ALL THEIR PICKS. A team like Detroit for instance is JUST NOW starting to get frisky with 5 lottery picks on their roster. A franchise that has been in the lottery 13 of the last 15 years. They just got their 1st drafted all star appearance with Cade (a 'generational' #1 pick they took 3 years ago) since 2017 (Andre Drummond).
Like guys...there's a chance the Mavs are bottom dwellers for 15-20 years.
The Mavericks should fire Nico Harrison today. pic.twitter.com/oPBZC5zsG7

WHO THE HELL WILL WANT TO PLAY HERE?!?shack009 said:
Gotta imagine we will be an attractive spot for any kind of ball handler. Guys like Fultz and Tyus Jones come to mind immediately.

They've seen how this team treats their HOMEGROWN SUPERSTARS
LMAOOOOOOO
Kyrie will be 34-35 before any FA acquisition will be able to play a full season with him. That season, AD will be 33-34. Both have extensive injury histories. On top of that, the FO just completed one of the most bizarre trades of all time that should make any player considering coming here second guess that idea. Klay is also 35 right now and while he is one of the best shooters of all time, this year he ranks 19th in 3PM and 36th in 3%.shack009 said:dave94 said:WHO THE HELL WILL WANT TO PLAY HERE?!?shack009 said:

Yeah, who would want to be the PG for the best group of big men in the league and one of the best shooters of all time…

Yeah. About 2M in space under the tax with 12 players on the roster. Bring in the draft pick (Jeremiah Fears?) and a tax payer MLE and Mavs will be about 7M over the luxury tax with 14 players.shack009 said:Zachary Klement said:

Yeah we can't really afford anything else lol.
If I recall correctly, they had a chance to sign Brunson midway through the 21-22 season as well and by that point, there was more data that pointed toward him being better than the guy we saw in the Clippers series, no?shack009 said:
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.
POINT GOD!Guitarsoup said:Zachary Klement said:

Or HOF PGs. That throwback green jersey would look good for his rainbow.
I still don't think he was going to stay in Dallas without a massive overpay. He was always going to play for his dad, no matter what he may say.Zachary Klement said:If I recall correctly, they had a chance to sign Brunson midway through the 21-22 season as well and by that point, there was more data that pointed toward him being better than the guy we saw in the Clippers series, no?shack009 said:

Knicks didn't hire daddy until June of 2022, unless that was put in motion prior to that. Which makes it seem like playing for dad was not any option when midseason negotiations occurred.Guitarsoup said:I still don't think he was going to stay in Dallas without a massive overpay.

Knicks don't have their 2nd rounder this year because of tampering with Brunson. Shouldn't that be given to the Mavs? There is just one less pick in the round.

That was when his contract started. Remember that Leon Rose was Rick Brunson's agent and is Jalen Brunson's godfather. He has been President of the Knicks since 2020.Zachary Klement said:Knicks didn't hire daddy until June of 2022, unless that was put in motion prior to that.

I did not know that..I feel like I keep up with the NBA, but some of y'all are definitely much more in tune than I am!

Leon is LeBron's agent that helped orchestrate the Decision with Bron and Bosh moving to Miami. You think they decided to do that July 1 2010 after free agency opened up?
