Not sure how that would be funny as a mavs fan. A knicks team of brunson, barrett, bron, and possibly mitchell/ Randle is better than dallas who clearly doesn't give a shit about helping luka

Brunson left so that he would be #1 and with those moves he becomes what he was with the Mavs #3 or #4 on the roster with all the focus on Bron, mitchell etc

He isn't the 1 now and im sure the knicks didn't tell him he would. You sound mad at brunson for getting his money. Dallas could have avoided this by not being cheap and offering a decent deal last fall but they chose not to

4 years and like 57 mill?

They could have had him a lot cheaper. LOL.

Mavs fans really mad at brunson. They fucked up from his rookie contract as you can read here.

nope i'm actually happy that he's happy but he himself stated that he wanted to be the man nad didn't want to play in the Doncic. if the Knicks did bring in Mitchell and Bron he would be back in the shadows of those 2

In my opinion this makes the Thunder signing Lu Dort for 5 years at 85 look like a bargain.

Trevelin Queen was your guy too right? He looks decent. I am not as sold as @fightinfunbags but he looks OK

I just think he’s a bench guy with some upside to potentially be more than that. For now he could be the 8th or 9th guy. The most important thing for me is that his game is in the style of what they want their bench to be at the wing position. I commented through the season that the Sixers lacked two way players. Guys were either like Thybulle, a plus defender with no offensive role or a shooter like Niang who can’t guard his position as he was getting targeted in the playoffs.

I was telling fightin during the playoffs....LOL.

I was telling him during Reed's draft lol

Yes he was.

Loved that dude coming out of the draft.

Seemed like a tailor made solid role player in the NBA.

I don’t think it’s that they don’t give a shit I just think they were put in a tough situation and are doing a shitty job, plain and simple. They had to trade Zinger, he was a water boy. Taking back those two bad contracts well it could have been worse. Is paying Brunson long-term $30M/year helping their situation? Now at least they flexibility in a couple years but it could be too late. I think Luka loves Dallas though and he is committed. We will see

A bit ridiculous. It’s a business

They made the wcf and added wood.

They were at least trying

The zinger trade really hurt and Josh green hasn’t developed as needed.

They will be interesting since they have quite a few expiring deals and could try to make another move.

They really need hardaway to bounce back

 

[The Q]

And now you’re a tax payer without your second best player

What is this teams upside?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I do.

We all know this to be true.

But, the guy has been shit on enough publicly.

The agents statement is self serving.

Westbrook is a grown ass man.

So, I'm sure he can take it.

Still, he hasn't committed a crime, he just isn't good at basketball anymore.

I don't see the point of heaping on more public humiliation by saying this shit out loud.

I mean...he's still a pretty decent basketball player he just doesn't see his limits whatsoever. He thinks he's 2016 Russ

He needs to find that place of humility, like Carmelo eventually did.

Or, he's going out like Allen Iverson.
