I'm a Castle guy but 20 turnovers in less than two games is crisis-level stuff

@hilogarces I think they've got a good chance. And if they're winning even at halftime, with as desperate as OKC should be tonight, I'm picking them to win the title right then and there
English
The top 4 picks all made the first team, and the only guy on either team outside the top 14 picks is Raynaud. Pretty chalky draft so far
Ron Harrod Jr.@RonKnowsSports
Here are the NBA’s All-Rookie teams: First team: Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel, Dylan Harper, Cedric Coward and VJ Edgecombe Second team: Jeremiah Fears, Collin Murray-Boyles, Maxime Raynaud, Derik Queen and Ace Bailey No Ryan Nembhard.

@bobbykaralla Seems premature, we haven't even seen AD and Kyrie together yet. Give it time, you'll start to see The Vision(TM)
English
Beginning to think that trade was a pretty bad idea.

Prior to Luka Doncic being traded on February 2, 2025, Jason Kidd had a .563 win percentage with the Mavericks and a NBA Finals appearance in 2024. After the Doncic trade, Kidd had a .339 win percentage 😲

@CayceL Yeah, if you think Cracker Barrel's marketing is a worthwhile or instructive analogy here, I don't know what to tell you
English
@TravisRW When Cracker Barrel’s marketing agency made a dumb mistake, they were fired 5 weeks later.
Nico traded the franchise cornerstone in secret, the superstar who just took them to finals, who has the most jerseys worn. Fans literally protested for weeks. The team has been horrendous.
English
Dumont moved more swiftly on AD, Nico, and Kidd than many would have.
He will forever own the trade, but his error arose largely from naïveté, not a more egregious sin. People can learn. Even billionaires.
I’d shake his hand and say, “You f*cked up, but now you can fix it.”
English
@CayceL Yes, it is swift to have cleaned house that quickly. "Within a month" is fantasyland silliness
English
@rckfortyone For me, I don't care one way or the other what he says. I care what he does. Actions > words, etc.
English
I need to hear him say the words “I made a mistake” first.

The full reset from the Nico stench is the best part about this. But also very important is the signal this sends about the level of empowerment Masai has. Kidd was just extended and had real money and years remaining. And yet Dumont signed off. Great sign.
English
@TravisRW Yes. I was already back with Masai but now I’m enthusiastically back.

Luka will be back in Dallas by July 2029. I’m on the record.

What sort of Toni Braxton-style scandal will tear apart the Spurs locker room in 2033 after 3-4 more titles?
Fun to ponder.
English
Such a weird take to say he "shouldn't be doing this yet." He was the #2 overall pick and in many drafts would have gone #1. He is supremely talented, has an excellent team around him, and gets to go against the opponent's bench a portion of the time
The Ringer@ringer
'He shouldn't be doing this yet." @BillSimmons praises Dylan Harper's performance in the playoffs and believes he could be a first team All-NBA player in the future.
English
Hahahaha.
See you in a few years, Luka.

The Lakers promised Luka Doncic (before he signed his extension) that they would give him a locker room full of similar players to the Mavericks roster he went to the finals with, per @DanWoikeSports (nytimes.com/athletic/72720…)
English
@hilogarces True. I was also really surprised by it, personally. Didn't seem like something he'd do
English
Pretty wild that this many people are justifying Vic's elbow because he's getting beat up in the series. He is a young guy that lost his cool and threw a reckless dirty swing that could have been way more dangerous if it was someone shorter than Naz. Wemby deserves a lot of heat.
English
Plus, in virtually every single draft ever, there are a few guys drafted between 8-30 (or whatever cutoff you want to use) who end up being great.
It's on the Mavs' new hires to actually find one of those guys. If they don't, nobody to blame but themselves.

I refuse to be pissy about this. I bet at LEAST one of Ament/Mara/Yaxel/Burries goes before pick 9. And that will give us our option of at least 2 prospects I love for the Mavs
English
This. I'm seeing a fair amount of "we didn't go 26-56 to only get #9" energy, which seems odd given that every team drafting above them except CHI had an even worse record than 26-56.
Dustin Dietz@DustinDietz18
If you’re mad online about the Mavs drawing 9, you’re just being mad to be mad. The most likely outcome was 8/9, so not surprising. There should be a good player there anyways. Most important was hiring the Pres/GM, and they seemingly hit it out the park there. They’ll be fine.
