"It was surprising more than anything. Nico’s my guy. He played a huge part in getting me here & wanting me to fulfill his vision that he saw. It was definitely tough. Me & him had a conversation. Me & (Mavs governor) Patrick (Dumont) had a conversation. It’s the business of basketball."

  1. Great statement to win over the fan base that couldn’t be less interested in you… putting fuel on the flame!

  4. Gotta be a weird feeling knowing you’re the return in what’s considered the worst trade in league history and everyone wants a guy fired because he wanted you instead.

  9. Alot of people are like “nobody is gonna hate on AD, he didn’t ask to be traded here he didn’t ask to be here”

    Nah. I disagree. Plenty of reasons to hate on AD. Coming into the season fat and being publicly buddy buddy with the Dallas devil is enough for me

  10. Man, ADnp is a PR genius! How is he going to make himself and his brittle, out of shape primadonna lard ass even less likable? Maybe he can talk about how he LIVED IT, like Kobe and ”his guy” the Tunnel Rat?

  12. Read the room. Get street clothes tf out of Dallas. You have been a winning player for 1 year in your career. BYE

    What an idiot

  13. The sooner we trade this guy for some picks and a couple usable role players that actually show up and contribute the better.

  14. That entire locker room was brought in by Nico except Powell so this shouldn’t be that surprising of a quote

  16. I mean if I was him I wouldn’t want to be here. We didn’t exactly accept him with open arms and a warm welcome. That’s neither his fault or the fans fault though. We all got dropped into a shockingly terrible situation. He deserves a fresh start somewhere that wants him and we deserve to not have to be reminded about what happened every time we see him. And if he’s saying Nico’s his friend, he knows what he’s doing. He saying he wants out as much we want him gone.

  17. Does this mean Anthony Davis is stupid in addition to being injured? Because anyone with a functioning brain cell is not surprised by his firing.

  21. AD is in a very awkward spot. He’s a HOFer but he’ll be forever linked to the worst trade in NBA history

  23. Man…..maybe don’t give praise to possibly the most universally hated guy in nba history…..while on the team he just destroyed.

    I don’t hate AD or anything but he just has to go.

  24. I was rooting for him at first, but I really don’t think he could care less about the fans and doesn’t want to be here. I’m ready to move on and rebuild around Flagg.

  25. Every time this fat, overpaid bum who has done nothing in his career without Lebron opens his mouth I hate him more. The fact that Street Clothes says this the night after Luka drops 43-13-9, a better statline than he has ever had is just more salt in the wound. Have him rehabilitate his trade value (if this piece of shit is even capable of that) and then get him the *fuck* outta here

  26. Man this guy should have had better media training. How the fudge are they keep saying the wrong thing to the media and fans.
