    So you understand, even though you will still refuse to believe what factually happened because your stupidity and overconfidence is set in stone, here's the exact order of how it went down.

    1) Cuban hires idiotic ego maniac with the stupid idea that it was for player relations primarily and Cuban would still run basketball
    2) Cuban sells team to someone who knows 0 about basketball under the condition Cuban would still run basketball
    3) Idiotic ego maniac gets in the ignorant owner's ear and pushes Cuban out
    4) Idiotic ego maniac trades Luka and rushes it through without opening up bidding because ignorant owner would see the fan and journalistic backlash and know how stupid it was
    5) People on the internet that believe everything is a lie and a conspiracy think Nico was just a fall guy

    Nico Harrison is an overly confident below average IQ idiot who failed upwards by sheer dumb luck. You are him minus the failing upwards part.

    There is article after article out there explaining the situation, explaining that Nico Harrison was a failure at Nike also that botched the Steph Curry meeting all those years ago, and that he surrounded himself with yes men in Dallas and fired anyone who opposed every impulsive thought he had. But instead of reading those articles, here you are, thinking you know, spreading your ignorant bullshit.


    Damn.

    I know this sounds crazy to say but I wouldn't want Davis if I were trying to contend.

    He refuses to want to play Center, yet came into the season wearing a fat suit and cannot hit 3s.

    Sounds exactly like a Center to me.

    I think it's more about the defensive side of things. He's fine with playing the Center role on offense obviously but would prefer roaming around on D and not just protecting the paint and fighting bigs all game which I can understand. Issue is there isn't a prime Brook Lopez on his squad who would make sense next to him offensively, so now you're giving up a lot on the spacing side of things. Giannis is kind of in the same boat which is why the Bucks overpaid for Myles Turner to replace Brook Lopez.

    The problem is a lot of the time there is only one big on the floor. There isnt a center and a pf. There are bigs wings and guards now. There isnt much banging down low. Spacing is an issue with him so he doesnt just fit anywhere offensively again assuming he can even stay on the floor

    Well, a superstar should have at least some basketball IQ about these things. As you said, it's not as if his current team has stretch bigs. Flagg, Washington, Gafford, Lively, Powell... none of these guys can hit a 3, Davis included. Given the circumstances, he ought to be the one asking the coach to play Center to get more spacing.

    A max superstar in his feelings rather than trying to sacrifice to win is not a superstar I would want on my team.

    Bosh did not like playing Center at all, but he did whatever was necessary. That should be the prevailing mindset.

    I don’t give a flying **** what insane team takes on a contract $11million more per year than Luka’s … for a guy that never plays more than a couple handfuls of games in a row before being out again for 6-8weeks.

    Just as long as it isn’t a team I actually enjoy watching:

    Bulls

    Nuggets

    Lakers

    Rockets

    Pistons

    Heat

    Spurs

    Warriors

    Orlando

    Milwaukee

    Minnesnowta

    Serious question:

    Is any owner seriously stupid enough to want Day-To-Davis at this point ?
    He isn’t even Day-To-Davis anymore, **** days. N!cca sits for months, after playing for days.

    I don't think he's in his feelings he just wants to prevent the injuries. He's been the 5 since the 2021-22 season. If Mavs 3 bigs are all healthy they can definitely run some of those 2 big lineups.
