Man losing to the hornets at home is crazy. Pretty obvious they wouldn't work together though

They just rolled the dice with Kyrie, and from what we have seen so far it is not working at all. They both need the ball too much. It's a shame how they are struggling so much to build a team around Luka, though. They are in his fifth year and don't look much of a contender.

Yep.

Flop duo.

Unfair to blame Kyrie...or really, any player on the Mavs. It is not a good team that is built properly to do anything of note. I do think Kyrie/Luka could work in certain scenarios, but this just isn't one from what I've seen combined with simple logic about what type of players you'd need around them.

I've been warning about this for a few years now and sadly, the Mavs seem to be doing what they've done for the last 20 years or so....which is find a way to not give your all-time great what they really need to win deep in the playoffs.

At least with Dirk we got a well-built 2002 and 2003 Mavericks teams that had a real shot at the title in 2003 before Dirk got hurt. The rest of Dirk's career was more or less a mess in terms of roster construction outside of 2011.

For Luka, it's been way worse so far....although similar. We let Nash walk...just like we let Brunson walk. We aren't building organically and to date Luka has had 0 rosters capable of winning a title.

In Dirk's first 9 years....most would say he had 3 rosters good enough to win with. I would disagree, but he had at least 1. Luka is already in year 5 and he hasn't had one. In today's league...I really worry about him leaving...and, honestly, it would be hard to blame him.

Yep.

They are 6-12 overall since the trade.

Mark Cuban can't help himself. That worn out pimp thinks he's much smarter than he really is – at least when it comes to basketball.

Dallas needs to build a team with guys who can play defense, finish, shoot and play tough, no-nonsense basketball around Luka. T

Irving barely wants to play at all, let alone play defense.

[Lebron23]

Luka and Irving looks like version of LeBron and Wade in 2011 who never plays defense.

Luka gotta develop an off-ball game. That's on coaching and his desire as well as conditioning to do it. His stats will go down but they'll be a better team. He has the body to bully a lot of players.

Miss the playoffs and have a horrible off season.

Starting look like Cuban f*cked up good with the Kyrie trade.

Jason Kidd is also a really bad coach, just throwing kindle to the fire here
