  1. 2:45 …….We talk about Kuminga because THEY HAVE TO TRADE HIM and he’s a fat expiring contract with a 10% chance of turning into something someday. He’s a well paid reclamation project. He will be easy to let go this summer though.

  2. I genuinely question myself everday whether I would trade max Christie if I was the GM.. yall think he keeps getting better? Or is this kinda who he’s gonna be

  3. Actually when he started, Kuminga has shown consistently he can be pretty good as a scorer, with defense still to improve.

    The hate is just imbecile at this point and just because Kerr literallt used Kuminga like a bad parent uses a kid on a divorce, against the owner

  4. You might be right about Kuminga but don't use the if he was good to coaches and team would play him. Teams miss on players all the time. Rick Carlisle bench Jalen brunson in the clipper series and he flat out did not play Jay Crowder. Christian Wood as a starter was averaging 20 and 10 and kid hated him. And I don't care how good Jaden Hardy can average 15 points as a starter the moment this team gets healthy that dude will go back to the phantom zone.

  5. If you trying to be great losing should never be an option. Plus Cooper is two competitive he is never going to intentionally lose. It goes against everything he was ever taught

  6. I think you guys are so far off on this one. Hoopers see Kuminga’s potential. We saw him be their 2nd best players at times in the playoffs. He should be a part of the gameplan but Kerr is stubborn! Great coach but stubborn!

  7. Trading AD for an expiring young player with 10% chance to blossom into a solid #2 is the best the Mavs can hope for at this point. So the question is, should they take that deal or gamble on getting better offers in the summer

  8. They are keeping down a very good player. I’ve been a Mavs fan for 36 years and live in the Bay Area. He’s damn good. Kerr doesn’t like. He’s downside is at the end of games he looks shaky but that’s because he hasn’t had the experience. Kuminga would be great with the Mavs
