Kyrie man. They need to highly consider moving him this offseason. Injuries + tough fit next to Luka defensively. I really like him too and hes a good player, but we cant have guys out. We have had too much of this going back to Porzingis.

Brown out? It doesnt even matter. I think he has something but Kidd isnt going to play him.

There is nothing more annoying than Kyrie stans defending him at all costs on twitter trashing the Mavs fan base.

Dude, the guy is always hurt. He is approaching Ben Simmons type of injury status. A player has no worth if they are not on the court.

Who would want him though?

He?s not a free agent. We can?t just ?move on? without trading him

And who would want a guy earning 2/83, especially if he can?t play.

I think I have a loose undesranding that we would have to trade him. I dont mean like, literally leave him at an airport at an away game.

There are teams that would be interested. Just like teams were interested in KP. Hes too talented to just not have some demand.

Im locked in on him being one of thr pieces thst dont fit. Without some incredible roster building, we cant contend with Kai and Luka backcourt.

The only thing exposed with Brunson, is how bad Mavs fans are at evaluating players.

The only problem with Kyrie is he doesn?t play. Luka, Exum, DJJ, and Lively have been one of the best defensive lineups in the NBA this season.

At this point neither does Exum. He?s only played 5 more games than Kyrie. It was a low risk high reward move that almost worked out. Injuries will be his overall nba story

Yeah Mavs fans like to keep pointing to the clippers series, but Brunson has proved himself over and over to the point that size won?t hinder him as much as his 3rd season in the nba.

Melonhead · 02-03-2024, 08:19 PM

Starters vs Bucks

Luka
Josh
DJJ is back
Grant
Maxi

Bucks starters
Dame
Giannis
Malik Beasley
Middleton
ROBIN Lopez (brook is out)

Please bball gods don?t let the backcourt get embarrassed by Robin.

SMC0007 · 02-03-2024, 08:37 PM

WTF is Maxi starting for ffs.

If Holmes is available JKidd needs to be punched in thr mouth.

Brunson does not help a defense.

The biggest problem with casual Mav fans is that they over value offense.

Brunson is a top 3 pg in the east lol

Also ranks 26th among all guards defensively. For reference there isn?t a Mavs player in the top 50 among guards.

EricaLubarsky · 02-03-2024, 08:53 PM

And Luka can?t walk

EricaLubarsky · 02-03-2024, 08:54 PM

Get out the wheelchair, sports trainer

We need to take this season back to the locker room for a season-ending surgery

EricaLubarsky · 02-03-2024, 08:55 PM

Giannis just ended Luka?s season with that fall on top of him

Melonhead · 02-03-2024, 08:57 PM

Could be lights out on the season. Worst case scenario

DevinHarriswillstart · 02-03-2024, 08:58 PM

What an awful season. Seriously, basketball should be fun.

EricaLubarsky · 02-03-2024, 09:01 PM

Ha! Luka gets trainers to help him walk to the locker room

Comes back five minutes later

Melonhead · 02-03-2024, 09:02 PM

Thank god one of those injuries that looked worse than it was hopefully

EricaLubarsky · 02-03-2024, 09:02 PM

Powell gets clobbered and no foul

I watch every single game he played here and plenty at NY. Hes not a good at defense.

Like Kyrie, hes a great offensive player.

True. I only meant to say that you can still be a decent defensive team with Kyrie and Luka, if the other three players can defend.

EricaLubarsky · 02-03-2024, 09:17 PM

Two missed threes and a TO

8-0 run

We?ll just ignore the defensive win shares then sure.

EricaLubarsky · 02-03-2024, 09:26 PM

25 down to 16

Melonhead · 02-03-2024, 09:27 PM

DJJ not bright. Gonna break his wrist trying to dunk

EricaLubarsky · 02-03-2024, 09:27 PM

Mavs have two settings on threes

Making 80%
Or

Not my experience. Until Dirk won, I constantly heard that he couldn?t win a championship, because he wasn?t a great defender. Also, the majority of fans didn?t think Brunson was worth the money.
