Something has to be done before its too late. Nico has done a damn good job with what he's had to work with. The team has 2 super stars plus decent back up at Center and some bench depth. Cuban will resist firing Kidd but it has to be done IMO. Kidd played in Dallas and won a ring in Dallas so firing him it tough but enough is enough, something has to change.

Yea Kidd will probably be gone but Nico has not done a “damn good job” lol. He’s another reason why they are in this mess although I don’t put a lot of blame on him. The video you posted contradicts your statements. It’s literally Luka super frustrated again because he is stuck doing everything because the chemistry of the roster isn’t good enough around him.

I also don’t think firing Kidd will suddenly miraculously make them a good team again. He will be the scapegoat for sure but the problems run much deeper than him.

Fair enough but I disagree about Nico. Considering the pieces and picks he had to work with he has done an amazing job so far. He has had absolute metric tons of shit on offer for other teams but under his tenure we've seen him bring in a large variety of players to try to find the right mix, he is FAR better than the last GM. I would actually be pissed if they fired him.

I think he’s done decent but the fact that the roster still isn’t good enough based on who they let go is concerning. The fact they have tried to get back the same players they got rid of not even a full season later shows mistakes were made.

Breh, they could'nt land Kyrie without making the trade. I mean fine, keep Dinwiddie and Doe but then you don't get Kyrie Irving.

And how has that worked out for them? lol. I believe when he and Luka play together they are around .500. This is a carbon copy of last season almost to a T. Trade for Kyrie and look good immediately after, then stink it up the rest of the season missing the playoffs. This season they make another trade and look good immediately after and are now stinking it up. Only saving grace is they won’t drop to 11 because the Jazz aren’t really that close.

I feel like they are worse now than even pre trade deadline lol. They are literally the worst defensive team in the league now, worse than the Spurs, Wizards and Pistons. Downright embarrassing.

Dude you are killing me. I can't really argue with anything you are saying. As a Dallas resident and long term Mav fan the entire thing is making me sick to my stomach. The Mavs will NEVER get another Luka, he's a one of a kind type of player and they are just incapable of capitalizing. Luka is one of the most offensively potent players in the history of basketball and if they let him get away I'll still be pissed about it on my death bed.

I feel you bro. The Dirk era was great but also frustrating like this prior to the Championship run but he was loyal and it eventually ended great. This scenario is harder because Luka is becoming top 3 in the league and pressure is even greater for them to win now or he’s gone.

I don’t know the solution other than the right coach and different role players that gel together. I love Kyrie but having him and Luka on the floor is becoming a detriment. Kyrie cant be his normal self with Luka running the offense and they are at a huge disadvantage defensively that every team is exploiting now.

I heard those shitty new mavericks casino owners raised ticket prices also.

Yea, they figured out pretty fast Luka/Kyrie is an attraction and you gotta pay to see Luka/Kyrie. Its probably not the last price raise.
 
Lame is 223rd in all-time 3pt% while playing in the easiest era in NBA history.

Lmao.

 
A true clash of cucks tonight with Milwaukee versus Corey

It’s all effort in the end. He’s capable but doesn’t consistently try to avoid being fatigued offensively. Until they get more help offensively or they switch up their strategy of him being so ball-dominant, it won’t change.
 
OKC better give up Giddey + a bunch of picks to get Sarr in the draft. Pair him with Chet Money and no one’s stoping those lanky motherfuckers.
