Gobert’s package gets way more funny every time a big name gets traded. Minnesota was smoking sum crazy that day😂
@itstillhurts lmfaoooo
@Elden Wolf Lord value is in God not man that plays a sport this is what's important wake up from your stupor accept Christ instead of how you see sports figures.2
Fun fact: KD & Kyrie combined for more trade requests than playoff series won
Love it lol
Bro 💀
KD + Kyrie + Harden
@Alan A_#LMH 😂
&
As a mavs fan I’m happy about it but,watching dorian develop over the last 8 or so years and now he’s gone is still crazy to me
@Ethan I don’t want to talk about it, lol
@Bryan Foster this is a while later but how do u feel about the suns?
@Grayson Pitts thats the problem, its either coaching failed him to not excel or he just contended to be that role and never improved... nontheless if dodo takes that leap, he would have been untouchable same way with luka cus they have been here together since start...
@Hi Bida he doesn’t put up the shots to average a ton and he’s literally making 10 a year that’s not even a horrible contract
@Natasha Kuzmanoska THJ will make that team worse
I think worrying about the 2029 pick is being overblown. Right now the focus is on getting Luka some help. He might not be there in 2029 but if they didn't get him help there's a VERY high chance he's not there in 2029. They got a very talented player who will relieve some of the pressure off Luka and while the defense may be lacking, the offense is about to be very interesting and high powered.
@Logan Klein I would say the main reason is because every pick matters even though teams seem to treat draft picks aa cannon fodder. Now you would think after Nikola Jokić that people would maybe take a little bit more care of draft picks. I’m not saying every late pick is going to be him obviously not but still
@Logan Klein He's basically saying there's no guarantee that Dallas will have Kyrie or Luka in 2029, and if both stars leave then it could be a terrible terrible situation for Dallas come 2029. I just think they're worrying too much about it. Luka seemed happy in Dallas even before Kyrie, I hope Kyrie doesn't drive him away lmao. Although I think Cuban would prioritize making Luka happy over Kyrie.
I agree completely. i have no idea why he was upset about a pick that’s 6 years away. if you’re valuing draft picks, the one closer to the present is 10x more valuable than one 6 years away. no one cares. idk what he’s saying
I agree, 2029 is far into the future, but since every year is unpredictable in the NBA nowadays I don't feel like there's much difference in the picks. 2029 is far enough into the future that I do understand the concern of trading that pick unprotected, but getting Luka Kyrie now is big. It's what both Dallas and Luka needed. Here's to hoping we'll have enough in Dallas to keep that absolute wildcard lmao.
I like this for the Mavericks because they gave Luka someone that can create. However, they also showed Luka that they are willing to make moves and take chances to put the team in a position to win. I agree with Kenny tho 2029 unprotected is crazy😭
@Insane Ioe Brunson played a big part in that..he played lights out
@Jaden if luka wants out u trade him. as a mavs fan i want luka to be a mav his whole career but u can’t invest so much and not get nothing in return
Luka won't leave in Free agency. If he ever leaves Dallas will get a lot of picks
@Skyylife ENT clearly, just giving Luka the ball every time up the floor isn't much of a winning playstyle when he lost in 5 last year. It isn't the first time we've seen this type of player, all of the other players who demand the ball every time up the floor are all ringless for a reason. Harden, Russ, AI, Trae Young is in a similar situation rn, even Michael Jordan had a similar playstyle and didn't win anything until he was willing to let other players do work that end of the court. MJ even admitted in The Last Dance, that he only started winning when he was willing to give up the ball.
@Kasey C. so you want to win or get more touches
The Mavs just instantly became must-watch TV when both Luka and Kyrie play together
imo Luka's a top 3 must watch player in the league, and adding Kyrie to it is just insane. Mavs easily the most fun team to watch rn, just seeing Luka and Kyrie cook.
Interested to see what happens to the nets this off season. I could see KD actually get traded this time
no
Kd going back to the warriors 😉
They will blow it up, shows again that Kevin Durant is horrendous as a leader and cant ever win a ring without a built team
Only reason he didn’t last time was because of Rudy Gobert
@Leaked_Toilet keep kyrie and kd with that depth
As a Dallas fan I am super hyped about this trade but I’m sad to see Dinnwiddie leave😢 I’d much rather have THJ leave than him. Overall this new big 3 for us Luka, Kyrie, and C. Wood is going to be fun to watch
So you haven't been watching the Nets.
@future hofer steals and blocks are half the job on defense do you have downs?
@YungChumpagne they are part of defense but there is SO MUCH MORE than steals and blocks that they couldnt matter less tbh
I can't believe Kyrie is on the Mavericks. This shit feels like a fever dream! 😵
Dream come true for Luka to leave Dallas ? Me too
Ong specially cause he play on my team booooooiiiii
LETS FUCKING GO
Ik what team I'm using on 2k now 😂
@ItsVis 😂😂😂
I'm putting Green at the 3 because of his 6'11" wingspan (nearly the same as Dorian). I'm then seeing if I can get Jakob Poeltl as my defensive anchor. He can guard the paint, score in the post, and playmake. Putting him beside Wood would dramatically improve their defense in the frontcourt.
Luka, Kyrie, Green, Wood, and Poeltl would be a very strong startung 5 imho.
@Hannes Van Wauwe The Knicks would have to agree to that and why would they help the Mavs out?
@Darnell the expression 'lmao' is overused, I sincerely doubt you're laughing your ass off because I said the mavs can clear up a couple of firsts to trade
@Darnell They also said they wanted firsts for Richardson and McDermott only to quietly lower their asking price when no one came calling. Poeltl is still there, which means nobody is biting. It's worth a call.
They're not getting Poetl lmao. Months ago the Spurs said they want 2 firsts
@Romnys Gonzalez they could remove protections on the '23 pick to the Knicks and have a couple 1st rounders available to trade again
yo kenny, seeing espn grade this trade a D for the mavs for what i assume is mainly due to the uncertainty after this season. It had me thinking, you should try to find a list or something of trade grades from past years to see if they held up down the road. Love the content man
Great idea
Craziest part about this nets saga is that both when they had the big 3 and just kd/kyrie all healthy they were an extremely good team and a contender. But the players just didn’t want it.
The Brooklyn owner blew up the team by his actions.
Expect the unexpected in the NBA. Kyrie and Luka will be insane for a year to come
With how Irving’s Is i would be surprised if he lasts a year lol
it will not work, dallas will play no defense and Luka and Kyrie will just go trade positions going 1 on 1 iso ball, it will be a net neutral result, instead of Luka going 1 on 1 40 times game, he will go 20 and Kyrie will go 20
@22imon Gonna leave in free agency anyways😂
@Ski Mask The Slump God Russ and KD :/
I'm betting for most of the rest of the season (the part where he plays). And then he will be off to another team in the summer. The one who gives him a max deal.
As a life long Mavs fan, I haven’t been this excited in awhile. Kyrie has some off the court stuff, but he’s Luka best ever team mate and we desperately needed somebody who could reliably create their own shot
@Basa sure exactly
@david moses They won champ..dude ..and Kyrie saved Lebron legacy with that clutch 3pt in final series.. If he could play alongside Lebron ,he will play alongside Luka also great
@ronel but if kyrie and bron worked, yall was saying luka is better than bron and thristan was their starting center
"Kyrie has some off the court stuff" LOL. The Mavs just became the worst team in the NBA. Congratulations.
@John Bishop Imagine Luka running the game at his pace and constantly having an athletic big to dime a cut pass to. Like Kobe and Pau. That'd probsbly win em championships
I agree with pretty much all of this. Only thing is I think you might be overvaluing the pick a little. We don’t draft well anyway, and you’d have to hit perfectly to really regret losing the pick. Because no matter what it was the piece that ultimately got us a Hall of Famer in his prime while being a top 5 seed. Obviously with all that I still have to worry about a contract extension and off court kyrie. Assuming we get any more than this season from him and he’s not causing huge issues, then I can’t be unhappy with it after years of no real front office action to push for success (besides KP, which he’s clearly not on the same talent level as Kyrie but that one still made sense)
I’m so proud of you the dedication determination & motivation you have to constantly post is everything and entertain your audience at the same time especially when you are juggling multiple different platforms !!! You make it look so easy and effortless
In my opinion (coming from someone who loosely followed this discussion) Dallas gave kinda of alot for someone who's earning 36m on an expiring contract. I'm kind of afraind they might lose the only good help Luka is gonna get. Oh and to note the defense might look subpar now.
@Azmayeen Z Chowdhury The problem is that they have the chance to only keep kyrie for 3 months, knowing how untrustable and unpredictable Kyrie is he might not even sign the extension. Now if Kyrie does walk in to FA then they basically gave alot of pieces for a "quarter of a season rent a player" type thing. Granted they will get alot of capspace to sign another star for a max deal, but knowing how Dallas is with Superstar free agency, we can only hope kyrie signs the extension and stay for atleast 2 or 4 sesons.
@Baltej Bains I understand where you're coming from. Kyrie honestly cannot have a proper value, if he plays, he's absolutely insane. That's the thing though, he barely does. He might also leave after this year which sucks for Luka. You CANNOT trust that dude.
@Azmayeen Z Chowdhury DFS is a solid starter, dinwiddie is an above average starter. That first round pick is 2029 unprotected. Assuming luka aint around in 2029 (likely the case) the mavs will suck and that pick will likely be lotto. Kyrie is a superstar, but we all know why hardly any teams want him.
I mean I think it was just Dinwiddie and DFS right (along with a First and Couple second rounders), it seems super fair to me. Mavs are too good to have a lottery First pick and they practically traded Dinwiddie for a superstar along with a starter.
Someone's taking money under the table. That's usually how this goes.
YESSSSS! LET'S GOOOOO! I'm a Mavs fan and I'm excited for this trade, however, I think some of the fans are gonna go a little too crazy over this. This'll be the best guard duo in the west easily, but Dallas still lacks the center play that's it's always needed and some more defensive pieces. I think the team will be better than it is and will become a 3 or 4 seed but not a contender. Hope Dallas makes a couple more moves next year and make a true contender to beat the powerhouses that Memphis and Boston have become.
@Shika giv em one more pick and its good
@Luka that would be awesome 😭😭 bulls would probably want a lot of picks too
@Shika if yall want to trade draymond make a package here:Draymond and Kuminga and 1st round pick for Vucevic and Zach Lavine.
@Luka we need to trade draymond imo hes only gonna keep getting worse and he gets paid too much and is a locker rook cancer. we gotta get somebody like gobert or brook or kuzma even
@Shika as for the Warriors yall might want to bring Dwight Howard from free agency so Draymond can play Pf.
Laker fans acting like LeBron after the missed Tatum call right now 😭😭😭
@Zero no your delusional if you think the Mavs going anywhere with just Kyrie & Luka and no defense. It’s laughable at this point
@Draco Banchero delusional
Lakers fan here, I’m glad we didn’t get him. I can’t stand Kyrie.
@Oinky Piggy he just mad whatever lol
love your content kenny, been watching and subbed for maybe a year and a half?? and it’s been incredible to watch your growth as a content creator and as a young man becoming the leader of a family
I really like this trade for Dallas, especially if they can resign Kyrie. We’ve seen what Luka can do with another ball handler (brunson), and Kyrie has consistently shown that he can play with other stars (Bron, Tatum, KD). If Dallas can keep him long term it’s a W imo
Josh Green is a vastly underrated player, does things that no one on the Mavs roster can do. Elevating his role is a good thing imo, but you're right, he's gonna need to get to work because he has never played the type of role the Mavs need him to play now
I'm excited for Luka but at the same time recognize this is almost certainly a rental.
Yup it’s a rental, they didn’t purchase the unlimited miles option so Kyrie gots two games then is gonna be on the sideline preaching instead of playing.
if that's the case, mavs messed up. Cuz there's a high chance things do not go well this season. Not nearly enough games left this season for these guys to build chemistry. Kyrie and luka will probably need a full season to properly learn how to play together. If this experiment ends in another first or second round exit, it will be an utter disaster if kyrie simply walks for nothing, and mavs are left with a team even worse than they had before getting kyrie, not to mention the picks they gave up. And I bet luka won't be a happy camper at that point. I gotta believe mavs are now all in on kyrie and luka for the next few years...
@Future Time Traveller he is, but Kyrie still unpredictable
mark cuban is smarter than that
this is very risky for the mavs. they get Luka some massive help on the offensive side but this comes at a huge cost on defense BUT one thing for sure, watching Luka Kyrie duo will be huge entertainment, going to be watching every Mavs game
Big thank you to Kenny for always giving us timely updates
This is youtube. Positive responses aren't allowed. You must be offended somehow and cancel someone.
Awwwwwwww
Hi Kenny. Fun video and I'm glad I found your channel. I will just add that while Ky may have said he'd play out his contract if he stayed with BK but then he has a sudden and mysterious calf injury and there seemed to be a lot of murmuring that he was sitting out if he didn't get traded. That might have forced BK's hand a little into making this trade as soon as possible.
Interesting to see how trading picks has changed over the years. If this was 2017 and we had a similar trade where they dealt a 2023 unprotected, nobody would bat an eye
@HEIR BOOTS Remember when AD was traded to the Lakers the Pelicans got Lakers’ pick of this season unprotected. That pick will be top 8. If there were protections then it wouldn’t be such a big deal.
@PhoeNiX cant be thinking about 2029 when you got the best young player in the world . if Luka leaves thats a whole new set of problems to think about that have nothing to do with a random draft pick 6 years from now lol .
@PhoeNiX lol that's a lot of ifs . you gotta take risks in order to win and getting a player like kyrie is super rare.
@HEIR BOOTS No, he’s freaking out because even if Kyrie resigns for 5 yrs, that contract gonna end 2027-2028 szn. He’s not gonna sign for that long, so whenever he leaves and/or they don’t win a chip, there’s a chance Luka will be mad and will demand a trade, leave in free agency, or might end up being a bad player in the 28-29 season. This all would lead to the Mavericks probably being a bad team in the 2028-2029 season, and since the pick has no protections, it can end up being a top 3 pick or even number 1, and it would end up with the Nets. There wouldn’t be such a big reaction to it if there was like top 8 protection, so that if the pick is top 8, it comes back to Dallas.
Hope you get it know.
@PhoeNiX yeah but why is Kenny freaking out about that. the chances of that pick being a better player than kyrie is like 0.7
IM SO HYPE TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO
Dallas still has picks that first doesn't hurt that bad. Kryie for Spencer is an upgrade but DFS for Morris hurts. Should be interesting. Mavs are starting to get healthy Maxi, Green, and Wood should be back soon. Mavs still can make moves.
They went from getting nothing, to a solid really solid depth and a far off unprotected 1st, with a couple seconds. You get that from nothing was incredible. I was happy with this return.
Again I’ll say it, this is definitely the most unexpected thing to happen this season
kyrie has been on 3 teams in 5 years this should’ve been fully expected
Yeah, I thought it was obvious this was gonna happen.
This should’ve been fully expected
Did not see this happening, ain't no way kyrie is staying for long. But I will watch every game for this team as long as it lasts.
You felt Kenny’s soul when he said Ben don’t be doing shit on offense
I heard that the clippers were trying to get him aswell and i was really looking forward to it because they could have had a big 3 but still happy to see dallas get him
I'm interested to see if Dallas makes another move to improve defensively because DFS was probably their best defender. Not a lot of great defense left on the Mavs
The reason the mavs defense fell off a cliff is 3-4 of their best defenders have all been hurt for the last 10 games or so. Green, bullock, and kleber are all good defenders.
@YungChumpagne plenty of time considering they won't be going after a star center
@Jay they have 4 days to make a trade happen and get a center I’m praying
@YungChumpagne gotcha, I'm not as familiar with the Mavs roster because they're not my favorite team. However my favorite team would have the ideal realistic center for them. I don't think the Spurs would trade Poertl in division though. They are tanking, so maybe I guess
@Jay yea he was in the trade. They still have green and bullock as good wing defenders, not horrible at all
I’ve been talking with my dad all week about this trade and only yesterday he was speculating a team other than the lakers and now Dallas swooped in absolute W for the Mavs
I honestly don’t know how to feel about this. It feels desperate from Dallas’s side. Kyrie is great and this is a good opportunity for him. But Idk how he’s gonna feel being in a situation that resembles the 2016 cavs so much.
@Vota why would this even matter? Are the god warriors still in the league? no lol the comp is more distributed than it was 8 years ago
@Vota bron was always a slouch on d
@James Schenck yea & i hate when casuals bring him up like he played like an allstar with the cavs. he put up big stats on a bad team in Minnesota, never made the playoffs before or after LBJ.
@Vota well this team doesn’t have to take down the kd warriors. They need to deal with Tatum and brown. That Celtics team doesn’t feel as unbeatable as the warriors did.
@Chief lowkey k love one of the most overrated players of all time
This is one of those trades that might take years for us to discover who really won. My biggest question is can KD dare to hoop on a team without an insane co-star/point guard?
Jason kidd
@Lelouch Vi Britagna dirk?
Nobody has won a Chip in the last 30 years with just one allstar...
As a Mavs fan it hurts losing Doe and Spencer but on the court niceness is gonna be on display if all things go right.
It does hurt their depth so it could go either way to hurt or help them but it has a chance to really help them with Luka,Kyrie,Wood as their big 3 rn
This is my first time seeing your content. You really know your stuff, man. I'm a Mavs fan and I'm not a fan of this deal because I don't trust Kyrie. IF he's all in for the Mavs it'll be great, but I need to see it first.
Check out his other channels and podcast too!
Going to be entertaining how this plays out for both teams involved. Is Kyrie going to get a max extension from Dallas or is he going to walk in the off-season, is KD going to follow suit in Brooklyn and request a trade again. Going to be crazy.
Texas is prob the only place Kyrie can be his authentic self and not be seen as some weird conspiracy theorist 😂😂 he’ll prob love it there, might even stay
Tell the truth?? 😂
I haven't seen one conspiracy theory proven as fact, with irrefutably scientific evidence to prove it as so(i.e peer reviewed papers)
@Willy The Thrilly u right the world is flat
@Rob Ras facts the world is flat thanks bud
Just because you tell the truth doesn’t make it a conspiracy theory 🙄 it’s because of people like you is why we have these problems.
You must be from Wyoming or Idaho. Lol😆 obviously you know nothing about Texas
Man I’ve been a mavs fan since Nash and dirk played together and this has to be the wildest shit to happen to the mavs since the championship in 2011. Just wild.
This is almost certainly a six month rental, but I’m excited to see the playoff run (assuming everyone stays healthy).
As a nets fan this news shocked me they hooping I think we can still contend, spencer is great and smith is also great we got better defence now, kd will have a little more offensive load but that’s it cam just hit 44 wow good to see nets finally making a decent move
Should be interesting to see how they mesh in the regular season. If Kyrie is willing to be 1b or second option it should work, cause Lukas gonna need the majority of touches
Durant and Irving worked just fine this season. We might get to see a different dimension to Luka's game.
Kenny little brother I'm happy to say that today as soon as I heard this news my first reaction was to go see what Kenny had to say.
As a Chicagoan with a few years on you, I've watched you grow with tremendous pride and admiration from afar. It makes me.happy to say that you are my go to for the league news now.
You earned that respect Brother. You did that.
Feel bad for Dinwiddie, man was balling out in Dallas
edit: lotta guys Dinwiddie haters here
Dinwiddie was getting better on the mavericks I feel bad
he's back on the Nets, might ball out more
Man... STG
Nets will be awesome with what they got if they get serious once KD comes back.
Dinwiddie is a good scorer and player and DFS is an awesome defender as well.
Dallas needs to acquire a long 3&D player as well cause they have no defense.
I thought the mavs was one of the only teams it made sense for kyrie to be traded to but I think this duo either is great or fails horribly
That's really the only options. They made WCF with Brunson.
If they make finals it's a great trade, if they don't- it fails horribly
Yo this is crazy!! This is gonna be so interesting to see play out. Hopefully the Mavs can keep Kyrie's issues of the court, so he can be at his best.
He is a cancer so I doubt it but hopefully they can I want Luka to win and kidd also he is a good coach in my book
Don't worry. Texas is the perfect place for him.
This is crazy cant wait to see how they play together
i dont watch a lot of full mav games but from what i seen how the hell is this gonna work? Luka is very ball dominant and controls pace well. Is kyrie gonna be okay just standing around while luka does his thing? interesting to see how they co exist
as a diehard mavs fan, im really happy with front office with how this trade turned out: now the mavs wont be a lottery team without luka
trades aren't over yet...
Kyrie will leave watch
Yeah mavs are going same route as the nets with harden kyrie and KD, we win if we outscore the opponent
Yeah it’s a huge swing for probably the most talented, unpredictable player in the league. Half season rental most likely or we give him a contract and he wants out a year or so in. Fk sometimes it be hard to be a Mavs fan 😅
I think this team still would be. No depth, no defense, idk what they’re expecting
Im happy for Luka fr i hope they go just that step further and add some more depth rn or get something in FA
i actuallly think that the nets team might go crazy like breh they lost an all star but since he wanted to leave and forced them into that position it was actually a pretty good deal for them. They still got some solid guards like homie Cam Thomas finna get wayyy more playing time and they got another guard in Spencer breh I like it
His first time in the West. Can't wait to see how it goes
If my team don’t win the chip I would love to see the Nets get one. KD proves he can do it alone and a franchise gets they first ever trophy would be a super fun storyline. Unlikely but it would be fun.
All I can say is that I wish the Dallas locker room the best of luck! They just traded for locker room cancer and I can only hope they got some kind of cure, also some kind of magical defensive training that appears out of thin air. I really like Dallas and I’m worried they just ruined their future
This could be good for the Dallas Mavericks because luka can improve his game learning a couple moves from kyrie which could open up the game for luka.
it means no more doubleteaming luka cause it gives kyrie empty spots
And with those contrasting dribble styles, defenders are gonna have a hard time keeping up with the new Mavs tempo
Luka and kyrie have very different dribbling styles don’t think kyrie moves fit Lukas style and Luka doesn’t need Kyrie’s moves cuz he’s leading the league in scoring without them
I actually love the fact they traded a late pick instead of an upcoming one
Kenny I get what you're saying about the 2029 being crazy, but this is where I think Cuban's head is at: Dallas will do ANYTHING to make Luka a Mavericks lifer, so even if they lose Kyrie, he's thinking as long as Luka is still on the roster in 2029 (which they intend him to be), they're still gonna be good enough that the draft pick likely won't be top 10
That's crazy but I felt like Luka needed a pg like this for him and the team to go further in the playoffs.
Due to the fact that Luka is a passer, I think that they can fit well together
I respect KD for being the only superstar on that team to not request a trade.
two of the best iso players in the NBA, it’ll be interesting to see how this works out.
Iverson and melo didn't work
We saw ISO gang in Brooklyn
Hopefully it works out. I remember thinking the same thing about James Harden and CP3, doubting them and they made it work somehow.
It’s not like we haven’t seen this bf 🤯
The one thing Im curious about is will Kyrie srill be considered a starter for the east?
Kyrie and Luka will be an incredible duo for months to come
It'll be nice for Luka to finally not have to create EVERY possession and it'll be nice for Kyrie to play SG like he wants to.
Can’t speak for the Mavs fans, but as a nuggets fan, this trade makes me nervous. Nobody out west really made me nervous, but luka, kyrie, and Christian wood… if they can build some chemistry, that offense is gonna be a nightmare to stop.
Something about the speed of this trade makes me feel that the Nets were expecting some tantrum for Kyrie and had some backdoor negotiations going on
4 seasons and less than half the games. Although he’s a box office super star, this needed to be done. Goodbye Kyrie ⚫️⚪️😢
I know the pick is valuable but I think there comes a time in a franchise where u say f the picks.
My bucks can trade all their picks if it helps us win now. We can be historically bad after Giannis it doesn’t matter because what are the chances you will get another Giannis. I think it’s the same thing with Luka
My only worry as a mavs fan is the defense
I think about it like this, imagine the Bulls in 1993 trade their 1999 pick
can always count on kenny to give us the takes first
I love listening to K talk and just riff on anything basketball. Doesn't matter the subject
Was waiting on Kenny. This news is insane!
Kenny be droppin the biggest news in the NBA this week faster than ESPN 😂🔥🔥
As a Nets fan I’m just glad we don’t have to deal with Kai’s drama anymore
Kyrie could leave Dallas after this season..This is a huge risk for Dallas
After all these years, Spencer Dinwiddie finally gets the starting job on the Nets. With a drastically different look on the roster.
Look at Kenny man so inspirational
Kenny, do you think this helps reset the trad market before the deadline? Asking because we all know that Rudy was trade for an ungodly amount, and now Ky(obviously much better then Rudy) was sent for a few good role players, a FRP and a few seconds that don’t mean much
Kyrie had very poor trade value. He's a problematic star who's a half-season rental. Brooklyn could've won this situation by doing nothing and trying for a ring, then trading KD for another team's soul.
@Parker Finch even if you think they resign he is still a half year rental cause they could’ve signed him out if free agency either way
@Parker Finch as a team you can't really expect Kyrie to play consistently for more than 6 months
@kxrty Nah they will pay Kyrie, you don’t just give up a 2029 unprotected pick, plethora of seconds, one of the best 3 and D role player(Finney-smith) and Dinwitty to rent out Kyrie for a few months.
Kyrie is also a half year rental
I’ll never doubt the trade deadline again. I thought it would be boring but Kyrie has really shook up the league in one weekend
This is too good to be true. No way this doesn’t blow up in Dallas’s face. Just got a feeling
How is it too good to be true? Their defense is significantly worse now, and they were already bad. This is likely not a championship team, although it wasn't before either. However the west is pretty weak this year so maybe they can still make the wcf and potentially even finals. It'll be interesting to see what else they do this year and offseason.
As a mavs fan I’m happy Luka got his second star hopefully it works out and he signs an extension along with wood
As a Nets fan, I'm happy with the trade. We got picks to either trade or either draft. We also got 2 solid players to help this year.
The Nets made out on this real good man. Kyrie belongs on the And 1 Tour, not the NBA.
Honestly, I kind of love the Nets return. They get a solid 2nd option in Spence, a good 3-D guy in DFS, and honestly they can let Ben Simmons run the offense as the primary facilitator.
As a Mavs I'm nervous
"The biggest domino has fallen." You had it right the first time!
Another point: this is cam Thomas chance to prove that he can be a real 2nd or 3rd offensive option to KD I think he will surprise in a bigger role he can score if nothing else
Dallas also got Markeiff Morris and Kyrie for Dinwiddie and DoDo and a Far Future 1st and 2 seconds so no big loss, but a Big upgrade from Spense and DoDo. We good if we go to Finals!
A player on Kyrie's level will make it work, but I don't really see the chemistry and strengths of the team getting better with him. It will definitely be interesting to see how Luka adapts
I really think your over thinking the 2029 pick. I think it’s great that it’s so far down the road and they didn’t have to give up their 2027.
truly instant reaction, thanks for the quick insight kenny
Interesting to see him playing in the west now
I’m like Kenny where’s the vid 😂 last thing I expected for a trade on Sunday afternoon. Kyrie is a Dallas Maverick! The Lakers fan in me was so sad but I’m honestly geeked for Luka to see how he can handle this.
Good luck Dallas. I don't see it working out on the defensive end, but best of luck to you.
