@Raise_The_Flagg @Void_shadow77 0% chance any team would offer a top 5 pick for Kyrie.

@Void_shadow77 We can’t lose a 34 year old too 25 player with 2 years playing in Dallas? I get some of yall want to keep him for nostalgia but if a top 5 pick is on the line I’ll personally escort him to the airport

Would the Clippers be willing to give us the 5th pick for Kyrie and PJ (John Collins is a FA they can resign him for less if he and the Clippers want Mavs don’t want him)

@macrx123 @MavsTPSReport Crazy talk. Mavs are not trading for Giannis. Giannis ain’t even good enough to win at high level in today’s NBA.

@MavsTPSReport It's in talking about o k see I was talking about milwaukee, dallas would trade for their best player Giannis it would cost number nine probably gaffford.Maybe another player and then more draft picks to make it happen

Burries or trade back?

@KishiHoopz You have to take bad salary for all of these guys to get a first. Is it worth it?

3 of Max, PJ, Naji and Gafford need to get traded for future assets

@Bamatab1 @CBAMavs This strong draft. If they won’t want the picks, they should be able to get future firsts back for it

@CBAMavs Isn’t OKC going to have to make some serious roster decisions going into next season? Seems like consolidating those 2 1sts into one would help them, would it not?

I somewhat doubt Presti would do the deal, but I would do a hypothetical 9 for 12&17. That’s unless an unexpected player falls to 9.

@CBAMavs We not doing any trades with OKC that doesn’t return our pick swap. I actually could see Presti trading 12 for a future first. They don’t need more rookies right now.

@_k_3424 Nets do not have a great owner

I don't think Nets fans understand just how much we have going for us. Top market. Great owner. Great coach. Not every team has that. Just let marks work

@mke_buckle Won 10 more games off effort alone

@mke_buckle Ur missing the point. Most teams wouldn’t be that bad if they tried. Look at Milwaukee. Yall are no better than Utah but 15+ more games cuz you tried

my “abolish the lottery” take looking stronger than ever. 4 perpetual bottom feeders have a clear path to competitiveness because they got a pick that reflected where they are in the standings, and people seem to be feeling way worse for the kings and nets than indiana.

@brooklynnets85 Finally! Brooklyn should try

Unfortunately, the mentality has to change. We can't slow build now with no superstar-level prospect. It's time to aim for a 45-50-win consistent franchise that attracts stars from there and pray for a shocking leap, lottery luck with new rules, or an open East… I'm more open to win-now moves that require moving picks for legit players than I was before.

@MavsStan41 We lost 1 spot of tanking. You can’t assume we would’ve won the lottery again had we been 1 or 2 spots lower

Mavs beat the Grizzlies and Bulls late in the season in must lose games and they both jumped up to top 4. Very disappointed with how little seriousness they went about those very consequential games.

@CBAMavs Fine with Memphis getting a top 4 pick. They needed it as bad as anyone. Only Utah of top 4 didn’t deserve a high pick.

Reminder of how hard/shamelessly the Grizzlies tanked

@BigBenUM @Mavs_FFL We lost 1 spot IMO because of refusing to tank properly

@IdeaTwist @Mavs_FFL They only finished 1 game behind Memphis lol and had a 1 game “lead” on them with a week to go. They could’ve and should’ve easily finished higher in the lottery ranks.

We would’ve had the Grizzlies spot…

@BigBenUM @Mavs_FFL Ok doesn’t mean we win lottery tho. Us New Orleans (Atlanta) and Memphis were all similar most of season. Odds were 1 would move up in lottery.

@mke_buckle @HPbasketball This is true for everyone except Utah. Other 3 teams deserved it. Wish it was Sacramento instead of Utah in top 4.

@HPbasketball which is exactly why the “we feel bad for haliburton and they’ve never had the #1 pick before so they deserve it” was always a ridiculous line of reasoning. 4 teams that would’ve been otherwise unwatchable next year just became watchable. Thats good for the league!

(Indiana is going to be great anyway)

@TheGarciaKidd_ Wizards needed it. They were def one of the worst 3 teams. Only Utah i feel didn’t deserve it. Should’ve been Sac instead. I’m glad Brooklyn fell.

Ethical tanking doesnt work

@BillyReinhardt Cry me a river. Nets had Harden, Kyrie, and Durant. They chose to play the lottery game instead of getting talent back in trades

Adam Silver’s NBA lost the plot.

@BrooklynNetcast Refusing to trade for good players when you have a stockpile of assets but gunna complain that you stay bad

The Brooklyn Nets deadass had horrendous rosters two years in a row and got rewarded with 6th and 8th overall picks. How exactly are they supposed to build their way out of this barring drafting an extreme outlier. Lottery system sucks.

@MavsFilmRoom Small market doesn’t matter. Bad lottery luck does tho. Spurs only there cuz of lottery. Mavs would he desperate franchise if we didn’t get lottery luck

I have 0 sympathy for the small market teams that complain about not being able to get star talent Sorry to the Kings and Wizards, but both have pissed away opportunities at stars. Kings traded away Haliburton and the Wizards traded away Deni within the last 4 years The best two teams in the NBA are in Oklahoma City and San Antonio, it’s most of the time just a skill issue
