Fix?
Tonight was another example that the Mavs are LIGHT YEARS AWAY FROM BEING “FIXED” 😂

21:46 Timberwolves Playoff Threats?
Omg bro we're still pushing the narrative that Boozer will be the #1 pick…..
It's not happening in fact if he reclassified last year with Flagg I don't even think people would take him over Flagg…. Certainly not over Dybansta or Peterson
I don't get the fixation with pushing this narrative, don't get me wrong he's gonna be a good player in the league with good longevity (Certainly would have a better career than his dad ever did barring injuries) but there's a reason why he's getting compared to guys like Kevin Love or Domantas Sabonis, He's going to be a really good perennial all star but he's not a franchise mover nor does he have the upside to do it. Let's just give this a rest LoL
The habit is really good
I feel bad yall still have to watch this trash ass team.
Slightly having Schlotzsky's over for guys and shake shack changed my view on him as a person
Was Cooper the 10th (!) best player on the floor today? -35? Is this the worst plus/minus game this season?
Damn. I miss the glory years when during losses, we still had the definitive best players on the floor with Dirk and Luka.
Better get a 1A this draft or hope that Kyrie returns next season at least as a 1B.
Boozer gives me Banchero vibes. Really good player. But if paired with a guy like Flagg/Wagner who cant shoot to save his life, the offense will probably be stagnant.
I take Dybantsa and Peterson over him.
I keep saying it. Cooper is not Luka. Luka can carry a franchise. He is a true generational player. Luka, quite frankly, is the closest person I have ever seen to Larry Bird. I never thought I would see another player like Bird, but there he is in Luka. Luka dribbles better, too. Flagg is not that type of player. Flagg will have a long career and make lots of money, but he is not enough to elevate this franchise. I am not sure what the answer is at this point. Just for the love of Goodness, please not another forward!
Boozer reminds me of Paolo in Orlando. A good player, but not a guy I want taking a last shot. What I am looking for is a player who I think gives a true chance to win every night. Again, I hate to go back to Luka as an example, but frankly, you could take 4 guys from my LA Fitness and add Luka, and I swear, that team would still have a chance of winning. That is what Luka did as a player. Which player in this year's draft is like that?
People said Flagg is a better Rookie than Luka….YIKESSSSS
At 3rd-4th, I'm starting to lean on Caleb Wilson. you cant beat 2 elite defensive players with Coop and Caleb and both can be great offensive players. 4th is Boozer, 5th Acuff 6th Flemmings 7th Wagler (unless they win it all)
Boozer doesn’t look good ngl
Nothing from his game looks like it will translate well to the NBA. Post forward big that isn’t good in the post and isn’t really good from 3. Idc about 40%. DFS is shooting DFS and rockets refuse to play him cuz of his streak play. I don’t believe in his play making either. I just wouldn’t draft him #1 another Paolo (which isn’t good)
Cooper is going to be fine. He works on his game. He'll get much, much stronger. He's 19 and the season takes a toll even on grown ass men. Cooper will make a great second year leap.
Mavs a lottery team for a loooong time to come…Flagg is so soooo far away from Luka at his age ..😢
BIG SHOUT OUT TO SLIGHTLY COMIN THRU!!!
nobody is saying boozer is the obvious number 1 pick 😂 unless you haven't watched the top 5
Honestly, you take what you need the most. Not necessarily the best available.
Unless you think that player is generational.
All drafts are this way.
You take based on need.
And since we have the what, 7 pick?
🤷
Acuff or Burries
You want a Boozer get Yaxel lendeborg. I think Yaxel is going to be better than Booz..
We need to get Flagg a big scoring wing. If theres anyway to get Yaxel and Caleb lets do it.
If were for sure going to get a guard. get the best one Brown jr.
😂❤
Jaden Ivey just hit the free agent market. If Dallas paints crosses & doves all over the court, and Mavs fans dress up like priests & nuns, then Jaden could become a solid contributer for Dallas …
Fire Nico. Man o man what a difference a year and a half makes. So sad. Simply brutal team to watch. Flagg has hit the wall. He will be great no doubt. But he has many holes in his game. Doesn't even look like he wants to be out there. Tanking has taken its toll.
whether boozer may or may not be the number 1 pick, just dont make him our pick. please. i could be wrong, he may become great, but for that to happen with his play style he has to be out of this world different. i dont think there's an in between for him. he's either a top 4 player in 5 years, or he'll be a solid starter that averages say 18-21 ppg with just a solid game. just solid. if he were to fall to the 6th pick or something, sure. but where he's projected, please no. id rather gamble with caleb wilson. if we truly believe coop can be THE guy, im willing to take that gamble on a player like wilson.
GUYS LISTEN TO ME CAM BOOZER’S GAME WILL NOT TRANSLATE INTO THE NBA!! HE’S GOING TO BE A STATUE!!
I don't know what people can see with Cam Boozer. Bro can't even move like a basketball player 🤦 He moves like LiAngelo Ball. And trust me, he will look small when he goes to the NBA🤦
Just got off the phone with Adam silver, he has us locked in for a top 3 pick🤞40 days
Nobody says boozer number 1
This season needs to end. NO ONE wants to play including Cooper. He knows he isn't winning ROTY. We have to get the best rookie available that can not only shoot and score but also good playmaking. Acuff can come in immediately I believe and make instant impact shooting and facilitating.
Flagg will have to get better with his mid range to get to next level. Teams have shown they can slow him down from getting to the rim. Your game can't be driving to the basket to get the majority of his points.
I’m unsubscribing on both of yall channels for the n and out comments. Do better . Get therapy
People saying Flagg is a better rookie than Luka is wild, that’s a tough comparison honestly
If we get #1 it should be Peterson. He's the highest ceiling guy in the draft and yeah, he's got question marks. So does everyone. But I think he's the only guy with clear potential to be an all time great. The number of college freshman with complete games is rare, and obviously the NBA wants players as young as possible to get their trial by fire a year or so early. Boozer and Dybantsa both look like they could be all stars, maybe like Sengun/(Baby) Sabonis and Siakam prototypes, but not #1 guy on a championship team players. The rest of the players have a wider array of potential outcomes – many could be all star level players, or they might just be good starters/rotation guys, or they could be busts.
In ‘n’ Out has t the WORST fries of any restaurant, ever. They shouldn’t even count as fries, they’re basically just Pik-Nik sticks in a can. And all your best food is on a “secret menu?” If it was that good you’d advertise it.
nothing will solve the mavs issue as long jason kidd is the coach lmao
Id trade all of our picks for luka the don
Lets be real, top 5 draft picks should be AJ Dybansta, Darryn Peterson, Cam Boozer, Caleb Wilson, and Keaton Wagler. If Mavs can get any of them, we will have a solid future.
These guys over rate the defensive end of the court it's few players that have been superstars on both ends throughout there entire career that aren't centers defense is effort
I think Boozer would be so boring
Yes of course but the Mavericks are picking seven or eight look at the standings all the good forwards and guards will be gone by then so take the best center so you maybe you can beat Wemby and the Spurs..
Im sorry but Boozer isn't the guy for the Mavs
