Getting rid of ad is the only thing the mavs should be working on.
I like kaminga and think he can be special on both ends, but how does he fit for our roster . We have 4s, no bigs and few 3s
ANYTHING FOR AD is a win. I have Bronnys RC, so I need him to play then I can flip it for more than the $1 I spent 🎉
Coop,PJ,and Naji are all better than Kuminga
I’d rather have rj Barrett
Has Kuminga played well in a win this season for golden state?
He’s not 18 anymore.
He’s in his mid 20’s.
Like Klay they now know he’s mostly worthless.
Let's be real people…. If you could get Kuminga and whatever the hell else GSW throws your way for AD just call it a day. Take the flyer!
We are just a kuminga away tbh
Not trading AD for Kuminga, now I'll give up Naji, Martin, and Hardy, Russell (dlo)… Would trade gafford if they add Moody and Podziemski
Kuminga has a ring. He won a ship with golden state
Kuminga is better than the guy in Orlando he been in Kerr dog house cause he wont just pass to Steph do more research its been happening for more than a year it has nothing to do with being locked in
Everybody Kidd has not played C.Woods and D.lo play no defense or give the effort to play defense in the manner Kidd wants Kuminga plays defense. But we are loaded a wing. Christie Naji PJ Coop he probably wouldn't get the minutes he wants
Trade AD i would take a bag of chips for him please get ride of him
Is Jonathan Luminga the wing version of Jordan Poole? How does GSW keep doing this to themselves?
I'd like to bring in JK
I'd also kick the tires of Gaff for Mathurin.
And add a PG in the Draft/ BAP
Moody and Kuminga would be fun in Dallas
Nooooooooooo. He can’t shoot and doesn’t defend and he thinks he is better than he is..
Not interested any trade tbh. Good vibes and losses are good enough for me since we own our pick.
Mavs is a dying franchise. I think it’s over and it seems all planned.
Man I miss the days when everything was not just about the 3 ball. I enjoyed when players were slashing to the rim.
As a longtime Warrior fan I'm telling you now if u can trade for JK with his talent and being extremely motivated he'll be easily your 2nd or 3rd best player next year.. "not counting AD"
Trade Klay back to GSW for Kuminga
They got 4 #1 picks get some of them with him.
Giving a young player consistent playing time and support can do wonders for making them better, I mean, Zeke Nnaji got screwed over by Mike Malone just because Malone was being a baby about Booth.
Kuminga is Kuzma 2.0
Hope mavs dodge that bullet too.
Why would a player like kuminga go to a non contending team like y'all doesn't make sense 😂
If klay is fine with it. They probably do a swap plus salary for kuminga. If they can’t get anything good for him.
Kuminga and coop would be 🔥
I would trade him for Gafford and have the warriors offer draft capitol
As a Laker fan I'm really going to laugh when can me and get ends up going to the Lakers
Hopefully there is a top 100 list for expiring contracts and Dallas is trying to acquire all those players lol.
This is NOT A 200/M TEAM!!!!
Part of me would love to dump 150 of their 208/M salaries and start over fresh with Flagg and the 7-8 guys who make NO MONEY or have real potential to be on our next contender (PJ, Christie,Lively,etc) then just bring in guys on one year deals (or two yr deals with TEAM OPTIONS) that play defense and play hard every night.
There might only be a dozen guys like that in the league that are available every free agency period.
Use to hate Westbrook but at 3.6/M I love the guy.
Same for Dwight Powell, Exum (when healthy lol), Cisse, BWill, etc.
guys you want to cheer for.
Josh green before he got his extension.
Hardaway (3.6) is another one.
Kris Dunn (5.4), Podz(3.7)…..these guys.
Once we get out of this quagmire we need to rethink how we build a team.
More guys like Micheal Finley and NO GUYS like DLo.
Fundamental differences in attitude.
That’s why I don’t want anything to do with Kuminga unless he’s making 3 mil a year.
I’m starting to think NO TRADES WILL HAPPEN and Dallas will be begging teams with cap space in the summer to take their trash (Klay, DLo, Martin, Hardy).
Three of the four would only have one year left on their deals so it should not be impossible to make that happen.
That along with Powell, BWill and Exum
Leaving should get Dallas under the luxury tax (about 40 or so million).
I’m thinking that’s the play now.
Hardy to the Nets
Klay to the Clippers or Lakers
Martin to the Heat and
DLo to the Bulls
All manageable contracts, better than what might be available in free agency to get to the league minimum cap and
Useful (if unproductive) players with a
Decent history in the league.
At least I hope so.
Free agency options look lousy this summer so hopefully this issue solves itself.
We’d come back with the current roster without our draft pick for four years and try to make the best of it.
It feels like the inevitable end to this tragedy 🎭……
Put Cameron Carr (Baylor) on the radar to pair with Cooper…
Lifelong Warrior fan here. Kuminga would probably be good on the Mavs. He doesn't fit in the ball movement, Steph centric offense. He'd probably be a 20+ ppg scorer on the Mavs. Then a couple of years down the road you can trade him for someong that fits better. (He's better if he can be ball dominant so you probably don't want him long term.)
Dallas are not trading Davis.
I’m after first round picks for our players along with expiring contracts. I don’t want other teams spoiled players
