Probably close to the best case scenario for the Mavs.

Probably close to the best case scenario for the Mavs.

Are you serious?


I dont understand humans I guess.

Because you just signed arguably THE most cancerous player in the league for three years.

And thats the best case scenario?

Having cancer is better than not having cancer?

I dont get it.

I dont understand my fellow humans.

I'm lost.

Kyrie doesn't even fit the team. I have a feeling Mavs will try to trade him before deadline if chemistry doesn't work out

[FultzNationRISE]

He can and almost certainly WILL do something to tank his trade value within weeks of the start of the season. Hell maybe even before the season starts. He'll be such an obnoxious, disrespectful attention wh0re that nobody will want him, but as long as he keeps it jusssst within the bounds of not getting outright suspended, the Mavs will have to pay him for the next 3 years after sending him away from the team after 2 months.

I'm embarrassed for the Mavericks organization, that they would slap their fans in the face this way. Kyrie openly disrespects everyone, everywhere he goes. Cities, coaches, owners, sponsors, teammates, fans, ethnic groups, everything in sight. He spits on everyone's face, and collects a check to do nothing but be cancerous.

But hey if the average season ticket holder in Dallas wants to spend their money to go cheer for a guy who openly looks down on them, they can go ahead. Ive been to the occasional Mavs game when I visit people in Dallas, I will neverrrrrrr go to a Mavs game while Irving's on the team.

What a joke. And it's shocking how few ISH posters even seem to care. Like it doesnt even register with them theyre being treated like dirt and taken for suckers, supporting a team that puts money in this guy's pocket.

Wild.

Zero to do with Lebron.

Irving is a piece of shit person. And dudes on ISH making $60-100k in their jobs wanna cheer for him to make 100 million and constantly, OPENLY scorn them and their loyalty as fans.

Just embarrassing for everyone involved.

Personally I’m excited to see how a hardcore black Israelite like kyrie works with a conservative orthodox Christian like Luka. Mavs might achieve world peace if it works out.

I am sorry but I really don't think a one ring Robin should get 40mill a year , and has never carried a team.

Mav's just shot themselves in the foot.
Their arena revenue will do outstanding , but that is as far as this teams goes.

Low key, if you’re a white guy surrounded by blacks for a prolonged amount of time, you will turn conservative. Unless you’re a cuck like Rex Chapman.

[Real Men Wear Green]

If they can get some average bigs and a defensive wing they should be a playoff team. Wouldn't expect much more but everyone can't play for the championship.

A superstar still needs goid players around him to compete. Dallas had nothing in the paint. Doncic being a capable rebounder is good but on a good team he shouldn't be the best rebounder. Irving is a great scorer but the team needed other things badly so the paying didn't lead to success. Now they have a whole summer to make a real team.

I am starting from this point right now...I would never have made the trade for him in the first place.

But having Kyrie at 40 million per year is a contract that can be moved without much hassle at all if need be...and just losing him in free agency...or doing some shit sign/trade...would probably be the last straw for Luka. We still might lose Luka...but I don't see how he'd stay more than another year if we trotted out the shit fest lineup we'd have without Kyrie.

I wish the Kyrie trade never happened. I wish Cuban wasn't such a dumb**** chasing stars and had just extended Brunson two years ago and we had a really good team....

But, if you don't understand why Kryie on this Mavs teams is better than no Kyrie...you simply don't understand the realities of the NBA.

Cool...and where were they going with no Kyrie and no team around Luka? They ****ed this up two years ago by not extending Brunson...then made the Kyrie trade...which was bad imo. Now though? There was no other option. Kryie at roughly 40 million a year is a must...he can be traded if need be.

You don't get him back...Luka is gone. Still might be, but gone for sure if the Mavs went into the season without Kyrie or some star (which wasn't happening).

[90sgoat]

More so because his character flaws are too obvious for him to have found god.

Brunson is more consistent but you guys would never win with him. Given the lack of supporting help, Luka needs peak Kyrie popping off outplaying MVP talent H2H to win. They don't have elite anybody else... if they're gonna win they're gonna need an unreal effort from those two.

So Brunson on less than 15 million a year with Luka...it was impossible to build a title winning team around that?

What are you talking about? They made the conference finals with a flawed team...they definitely could have made a couple moves...most importantly adding a better center and that team would absolutely have been right there.

It's amazing to me how you have already forgotten what Luka/Brunson did less than 2 years ago.

They did well but Brunson will command big money soon too. And he doesn't have Kyries ceiling which is the only thing that could allow you guys to win.

You guys got trounced by Chef and the Dubs two years ago. You were nowhere close to a title. At least Kyrie gives you a ceiling chance.

Nowhere close is way too strong of a statement. I think they were very close...I think they were a Clint Capela away from being as good as anyone.

I don't think you understand what the Mavs could have had. They could have had Brunson and DFS both on 4 year / 55 million dollar contracts. They got DFS done...and completely ****ed up the Brunson situation...twice actually. Should have done it before the 22 season...that was already bad enough...but they didn't do it mid year either apparently as well. Do you know how ****ing good that would have been?

Brunson/DFS making like 28 million per year combined...with Maxi on a good contract. Josh Green on his rookie deal. And some contracts, in terms of salary matching, to trade like THJ/Widdie/Bertans...there is absolutely no universe in which that isn't everything you'd want.

You just don't know what you are talking about.

Sounds like a bunch of mid ass help. :lol

Brunson is nice... that's about it. It takes a lot of help to win in today's league. It's a ceiling league. That roster you just laid out isn't winning jack shit.

Kyrie hasn't been that guy since leaving Cleveland. He's either been injured or underperformed in every playoffs since he left.

You are severely under-rating how good just Brunson/Luka/DFS is on their own...but also not understanding the cap / roster flexibility around them. Again, you have to pretend 2022 didn't happen...go back and look at that team. It is way better than you are remembering. THJ didn't even play in the playoffs either...and Josh Green wasn't ready...he got way better this past year.

They were missing a center. Maxi is fine is spots, but they basically didn't have a real center for the playoffs. Powell was unplayable most of the time. Forget improving some of the other spots...just give that team Capela, and they are absolutely right there with the contending teams. Add a better center combined with everyone getting better...especially Josh Green. It's close to the ideal team you'd want around Luka that is realistic.

Again, you don't know what you are talking about. I think you legit forgot they made the conference finals in 22. LOL

Bro... your squad barely made it there and got destroyed once you did. You were underdogs against the choking suns and got killed by the Warriors. Would've got killed by the Celtics even worse.

Making the final 4 does not mean you have no chance in the future when you improve the roster....especially when you have a 23 year old Luka and a 25 year old Brunson.

Again, just admit you forgot...or admit you don't know what the **** you are talking about. THJ didn't play in the playoffs. Josh Green is a real asset that would have been ready this season. They could have definitely flipped some salary and a future first for a guy like Capela this season at the deadline.

Luka/Brunson/DFS/Widdie/Green/Bullock/Capela/Maxi....that is absolutely a title contending team.

Kyrie averaged 21/5/5 on 44/38/100 in that series.The previous year against Boston he averaged 25/6/3 on 50/40/90 splits. Average those both out and it's very good help. Durant shit the bed in their last year together, and specifically in that Game 1 which was a tone setter game in Boston. KD blew that series in that one game because I watched it and the Nets made a big comeback and had the Celtics shook. I don't see Luka shitting the bed like that.

[tpols]

Care to mention how he played the rest of the series? Or are we going to cherrypick legitimately his only great game of the last 6 years :lol That's a Harden stan move.

It's not cherrypicking to use the years in which Wade was actually the player everyone thinks of when you say "Dwyane Wade". Kyrie has been in his prime for a while now and hasn't come close to that level of playoff play. Even at his best in Cleveland it wasn't close considering the defensive chasm.

That doesn't help your position. If a guy has better playoff averages than kawhi or Wade that means he was pretty good.
