Mavs play better against the top teams. Get Luka some more help at the deadline and they can win the West. The Grizz are baby bears and JJJ seems like he regressed

Sad shit is everyone knew it was a bad trade as it happened. This isn't even a monday morning qb situation

If one of the other minnesota teams did a trade this bad, I'd actually be dead right now.

Miami is done road games with the west as of January 20th

Redick made a great point on his pod. Their 2 best defenders (JJJ & Brooks) need to learn how to defend without fouling. It is really bad and been a constant problem with brooks for at least 3 seasons now

No I don’t generally like racist bigoted opinions

Those words mean nothing because you people toss this around so much it no longer has value. Any opinion a white person doesn’t like is automatically racist.

Quit being bigoted and political on the nba board, no call for that shit.

Just dropping by to remind everyone that the Wolves trading for Gobert is the most catastrophically awful trade in sports history.

And everyone involved in even discussing making the trade should be banned from sports for life.

It's bad, but it's not the worst of all time.

I’m sorry you’re up in your feels over an opinion that takes into account a discernible market base matching up with a 23 year old fact, 100% of the years he’s owned the Mavs. Successful business men are just successful business men because of luck and coincidence.

Semantics really.

Just said it to get out in front of the people who say Drexler’s resume is better because of his title.

Your case because of his defense is the correct argument in favor of Clyde.

Only part I disagree with is that I don’t think it is a wash offensively. Lillard is a better offensive player which makes it really close again, IMO.

Is all this stemming from my comment lol? All I originally said was that the easy answer for Lillard to seem ego free was to say that Drexler was the best Blazer of all time (saves him from naming himself). It's also close enough to avoid trying too hard with the question.

The Red Sox traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees for $100,000 and a $300,000 loan to finance the musical No No Nanette. ooppss

You might want to look at draft picks in the last 25 years to justify such a racist opinion. You will learn that the sixers have actually taken more white players in the first round than the Mavericks have. You are just butt hurt, for some unknown reason, that Cuban has picked better players. My gosh he turned Tractor Traylor into Dirk and Nash. Normal people would call that shrewd, for some crazy reason you call it racism. Seriously, just say you were wrong and move on.

What would Dallas trade for him?

Herschel Walker trade...?

Wow

2025/2027/2029 1sts and expirings/nonguaranteeds?

Herschel Walker trade...?

While that was obviously a brutal NFL trade that is always to be remembered I say...

No for a few main reasons...

1. While the Vikings are well known to never be able to win the big one. Post Walkers bust stint they still went on to go to the playoffs through the 90s with a few dominant teams.

2. As part of number 1. In the NFL and for the Vikigns in general, its far easier to rebuild such a blunder. The wolves have always sucked, never attract FA talent and have never had any sort of moderate sustained success. So there is no working around it.

3. As bks noted, the Gobert trade was horrendous from the moment it happened. Everyone knew he was an awful fit. Everyone knows what kind of player he is. Everyone knew he wouldnt fit with the current team that was up and coming and they sent all their assets.

At least with Walker it was a mid season trade training to make a push for that season of a player that was thought to be dynamic. It blew up massively. But a much more logical situation to make the trade.

Wolves are 100% fucked. You could watch 1 basketball game in your life and be able to tell that KAT and Gobert do not fit together. Shit, that Ant and Gobert dont fit together.

Nah. You’re the guy calling successful marketing racism. I’m not even sure who is the racist. I thought I was the racist and now I’m calling something racist? It is what it is. He’s selling to a fanbase in Dallas Texas
