If Sam presti comes to us with this deal we HAVE TO take it. Theres no one I think at pick 9 we could get that is a “must not skip”. Drafting 2 extra first round picks and then possibly using 17, 37 and 30 to possibly move back into the end of the lottery would be a great move.
I really don't wanna trade kyrie. He's so fun to watch and is the reason why I started watching the mavs. I'm also pretty impatient so I don't wanna trade kyrie for role players and 2nd round picks and I wanna see the team get better next season so I don't have to watch this damn team lose so much again.
Wish he could’ve helped us win one as our head coach… Players come and go, coaches come and go, but banners are forever. MFFL!
To be honest im quite new to all this so was just interested to see why so many are happy with this move lol. Isn’t he a hall of fame player, Mavs legend and a tactically astute coach? To be honest I liked his coaching of young players in recent years and thought that could come good in a rebuild. How he played Coop this year was also great and how he let him develop into the player he is.
I hear it’s because he was involved in the Luka trade? Is this actually factual or are those just rumours? If he really was then that’s fair I guess and it was a long time coming.
Many things written about ownership here but Dumont is willing to spend the money. He’s not a meddler. Kidd has many years and many millions left on his contract. Kudos.
I’m actually kinda surprised by this but maybe this has something to do with the luka trade? Maybe they’re getting rid of everyone who may of been involved with said trade for a clean slate.
Who are you hoping to be the next head coach? Personally I would like someone young and fresh with ideas.
I do also now wonder if players from the luka era are certainly going to be traded? Could we be preparing to try and move up?
I know this is unrealistic but I’m just curious.
Would you rather trade Kyrie to Houston for Jabari Smith Jr., Reed Sheppard, and Brooklyn’s first next year or to Miami around Nikola Jovic, Jamie Jacquez, and the 13th pick this year?
Low bar but curious to know what everyone thinks.
Second NBA game I ever attended as a kid.
It was Kidd’s debut game.
I still have the celebratory towel handed out to fans.
With Jason Kidd gone, which assistant coaches does Masai keep? Kid's Staff: Associate Head Coach Frank Vogel, Jay Triano, Popeye Jones, Phil Handy, Mike Penberthy, Dru Anthrop, and Jordan Sears. Eric Hughes, Josh Broghamer, and Keith Veney
Keep Popeye and Phil right?
While I think the general consensus in this sub is that kidd’s departure is positive and masai cleaning house. How do you think this affects coop, he seemed to really like working under Kidd and this is definitely a huge decision.
Watching Spurs/Thunder last night and I'm amazed I could get through it all, but it pissed me off knowing that the Mavericks should be right there competing in the WCF against one of those two teams
With the team we put together with Luka, Kyrie, Klay, Gafford, Washington, and Lively, I have no doubt in my mind we could hang with those two teams AND probably beat them to get to the NBA Finals
