  1. The thing that makes me mad in this whole situation is that Nico was sacked too quickly. It would be so much fun for him to be on this team and watch this.

  2. At this point, as soon as AD is back, you just gotta trade him for the bare minimum. Get him off the books and bite the bullet. This was insanity waiting this long to trade him and now look at what we’ve done. If he picks up the player option, the mavs are in the mud for at least three years, maybe four, so that’s a long time

  3. Trading Anthony Davis for pennies always made sense strictly due to the amount of money he’s making/going to make. He’s not a building piece. Trade him for a value size chicken nuggets.

  4. Kind of think this is best result for bad situation, of course Luka trade absurd, but we need top 3 pick this year, we want to be good next few years, we don’t want to extend AD, now AD is shut down, Kyrie can take time recovering, Mavs tank, hopefully get top 3 pick, next year u have Flagg, other young stud, Kyrie, AD and rest of team and hope to be competitive so OKC and Spurs don’t get a lotto pick. This kind of threads the needle that u couldn’t do if AD played, and if u traded him for Pennies u save cash, but u still are horrible next couple years and Spurs and OKC get lotto picks, just a spin zone take here

  5. Let's be honest, this is a catch-22 situation. There is no play the Mavs could have made or will make that will result in a return of adequate value for AD. The idea of "hold out for the vision", is ludicrous in and of itself. That was simply a tactic to show that they had some leverage, negotiation 101. Imagine a gambling company buys the team, does what they do best, treat basketball and the NBA like its a gambling enterprise and end up getting burned. What a shocker.

  6. First of all, please take a damn teal pill. We will be locked in a half hour of repeat for this season. Anthony gets healthy for next season and he’ll still be treatable and we can get something good for him and not trash yeah for some stupid expiring deals now that is stupid. I’m good with the whole situation. I don’t know what’s your problem is Mr. Harris.

  7. blud screaming like the millions coming out his pocket. IM TEAM KEEP AD STILL. REST UP KING. WE GON GET A TOP DRAFT PICK AND BE SET UP FOR NOW AND THE FUTURE. RARE BLESSING THAT BITTER MAVS FANS DONT WANT TO SEE. LETS GOOOOO.

  8. People, trade rumors is not equal to trade done. Every year most of the big rumors don't happen and we get surprise trades we weren't expecting. People will say he didn't get traded cause of the injury, but the reality will be that it's because it was never going to happen and if there was or is a deal on the table, the other team will just try to lowball you and still take him. We all know injuries don't stop trades. Luka / AD trade anyone? Both players were injured!

  9. Davis is garbage he been a plague since he got to Dallas…he a wet napkin throw him out and re build around Flagg..at this point of the season everyone getting traded re build on Flaggs terms

  10. ILL TAKE IT, THAT WAS ME IN THAT CAMP. But i will say, this doesn’t change my stance either. This is actually BETTER for us for now. We get the tank, we let AD and kyrie stay in street clothes, and we will lose more games WHILE coop is getting more development. I think we have a contender next year when we draft another shooter from the lottery this year.

  11. I know Isaac doesnt want to hear it just now. But I still think regardless of the injury, someone will still pick him up. Its the modern NBA, dont be shocked.

  12. A couple days ago, you really thought Anthony Davis should fetch a good haul. Today you would trade him for a bag of peanuts. I suspect most teams, including Atlanta, valued him much less than your previous expectations. This likely injury sucks for the Mavs.
