  1. Thats exactly what they did, it was a PR move to fire Nico to appease whiny casuals. Damn all this losing, just try to win! I cant say the tank plan isnt logical but I just prefer hooping & winning!

  2. Most important question about this season is figuring out who plays well next to Cooper.

    Its all about building around Flagg.

    If somebody doesn't fit, they have to trade him.

    PJ, AD, Gafford, … are hugh question marks.

  3. Why do they have to give Anthony Davis an extension? Why can't they let him play it out and leave. Raptors took a rental on Kawhi and it worked out and he left. Why not let AD and Kyrie play it out next year? If they win good for them, if not start the rebuild with Cooper

  4. The only reason AD is not getting a surgery is because he’s tryn get paid 🚩🚩Id say trade him for Anthony we can possibly get
    Jakob Poeltl and Bruce browns and a late first round pick or something

  5. In theory, Dallas could win with this team. I am a Luka fan. I will always root for Luka. But I will absolutely admit, that end to end, right now, Dallas probably has better players and potential players. LA gutted their team for LeBron and AD to win that title in the bubble and they are paying the piper now. The good news is they have $150 million freeing up soon. However, Luka makes up for all of that. 14-2 in clutch games and 17-0 when leading at half. Eleven games above 500. LA has no business being 11 games above 500 in a stacked West, but that is the Luka effect. Now, that is the real question for Dallas too. Does Dallas really want to gut its team for the unknown future? Because if they do, it might take 7 to 10 years to even have a shot at the finals again.

  6. I gotta laugh at the fools still saying Nico is right, when the entire world shows you constantly he was a fool. You went from the Finals to being 10th last year and 11th this year. You went from the Finals to a rebuilding team in a day. The Chicago media was making fun of this yesterday and Chicago has no dog in this fight. Nico also fired a guy while he taking care of his dying mother. That is a complete d*** move. Then, the guy he fires is awarded the best trainer of the year award. So not only is Nico a tool, he is stupid on top of this.

  7. Issac is putting to much stock in a draft pick.That you hope is the right pick and can play. Flagg was easy number one pick. If a trade a player it's gafford. To hawks. For Newell and riscsse both in g league and for a first Rd pick.

  8. What's the point of watching them play together if you only going to see Kyrie and cooper play more games together I promise you A.D will not be in the mix and that's sad because Kyrie just got a torn ACL lmao he's just not reliable definitely trade A.D now it wouldn't make a difference in the off-season if anything he fuck around gets hurt again it's just a a higher percentage of him getting hurt than not

  9. 6:36 these boys are so hating on this roster for real coz of AD. They're covering that they're real reason is "this is our only chance to have a draft pick blah blah blah" πŸ˜‚ But the truth is it that's just part of the real reason lol The real reason is AD reminds them of the hurt or losing the player they love so much. And they're using Youtube as a campaign to show it πŸ˜‚
