Killa is the most ice-cold shooter of all time. He doesn't even look at the basket.

 
3 shots?

Lmao. I just looked at the line up that doncic has surrounding him. That dude is gone when he gets a chance. Cuban is a garbage owner.

Cuban is garbage, but that Mavs team is better than most people know. While it is true that Luka needs a "Robin", the roll players on the team seem to work pretty damn well. Considering Luka missed 15 games this year, and Porzingas was a non-factor, and Tim Hardaway Jr. broke his foot, the fact the Mavs are 33-24 is pretty miraculous. If Luka helped them win even half of the 15 games he missed the Mavs would have 40 wins right now. Even so, they still have 10th best record in the League.

Dinwiddie is bad and I don't get how he fits. He seems to be average/above-average when running a team but pretty god awful as a 6th man or off-ball, which he'll be on the Mavs. He's also a worse version of Brunson. Brunson is also not good enough that you should panic to replace him if he leaves.

I guess they are hoping Bertans can still shoot and he's more ok standing in the corner compared to Zingus? And that Kleber is good enough on defense to keep their defense good? Because without that Bertans is one of the worst players and contracts in the league and their defense has been saving them.

I don't agree that "Jalen Brunson is not good enough that they should panic to replace him if he leaves."

He's good enough to be a starting PG for a lot of teams. 16ppg, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists on 50% shooting and 35% from 3-point land. He is also an 81% FT shooter. The Mavs will do anything they can to resign that guy. He is solid top to bottom and plays smart. Secondly, I think the Mavs were just trying to unload Porzingas ASAP and the idea wasn't that they were bringing in guys that were necessarily going to "shoot better than Zingus." Porzingas was never available anyway, he's almost as soft as AD.

Brunson is definitely good and they should try to keep him, but if the reports of the Pistons going after him like the did Jeremi Grant are true there is a decent chance he leaves. Dinwiddie is redundant with Brunson. Flipping assets to get a replacement for Brunson on the off chance he leaves doesn't make sense to me. Guys like Rubio are going to be available to sign in free agency.

I don't think they traded Porzingas to try to get a replacement for Brunson who might leave. The more I listen to people talk the more it looks like Luka just wanted Porzingas gone so they made it happen. Mavs resigned Dorian Finney-Smith last night, 4 years for $52 million so they are definitely starting to put some guys in place they want to keep. I don't think they are a title contender yet but considering they have 33 wins while Luka missed 15 games. This team is considerably better than people think even in its current form.

COVID just took away from us a nets vs bucks conference final. Say what u like about kyrie but that dude is an artist on the floor. Just beautiful to watch.

Yea it took away Nets vs. Bucks but maybe it will gift you a 76'ers vs. Nets grudge match that would probably result in some fist fights and ejections. Its guaranteed drama.

I want to see , Embiid throat punch Simmons
 
MusterX said:
I can accept that since I don't really give a shit about Simmons. I wouldn't mind seeing KD throat punch Harden for being such a disloyal can.

Durant will go to throw the punch and turn and see Westbrook and say "touche".

C'mon man, I don't blame anyone from trying to get away from Russell Westbrook. Seriously, nobody can win with that guy, its the kiss of death even to Lebron James who can play with anyone.

I mean, can't we say the same thing about part-time Kyrie?
