It's definitely pathetic that they seem to be incapable of putting the right kind of players around Luka.

They should over-exaggerate what happened to Luka when KLove fell on his ankle. Absolutely no need for Luka to play another game this year.

Oh no. This suggestion just made me realize there's a way to actually make the nightmare scenario we've been discussing on this thread even worse: shut Luka down for the rest of the season, then watch the scrubs finish the year undefeated behind Hardy putting up 30+ a night, including assists galore to Wood who averages 20+ before bolting this sinking ship in free agency. Win just enough to finish 1 game out of the final play-in spot, ship the #11 pick to the Knicks, and watch Kyrie sign with the Lakers. This team is killing me.

I could see all your statistical predictions come true, but how is that group winning any games?

How can I watch this game? NBA TV on Amazon tells me to get bent because of my geographic location. Is there an internet sleuth way of watching it?

Come on man. If you were the Spurs this year you would want them to try to win games instead of go for the highest odds at drafting the best prospect since LeBron?
For the mavs, you would rather us try to make the playoffs to surely lose in the first round, rather than hope to keep a top 10 pick that will likely make the team better for at least the next 4 years?

Thunder and Jazz play each other this week, so will be interesting to see who wins and how it impacts our positioning. Two Jazz wins this week and the Mavs could jump to 9th worst record.Ol Jock 99 said:
Need to watch the Thunder; they are trying to out tank us.

The mavs are at a very critical point in their franchise. If kyrie walks (which is very possible), i expect luka to ask out after next year. If that happens, the mavs are basically where the rockets are rn and one of the worst teams in the league for years
That's ridiculous. This is the first year of his deal.rsf0626 said:

Seven firsts and Keldon. Take the dealM.C. Swag said:
If Luka requests out, the Mavs would be decidedly worse than the rockets RN.
First off, this is extremely premature and wild speculation.M.C. Swag said:

You probably have to do it. Guys in the league like Kyrie as a person and they like playing with him. He plays a fun style that guys want to play with. Hopefully that turns in to some experienced guys wanting to come play here on affordable deals, but that hasn't happened for us in the past.J.P. 03 said:
So what do the Mavs do if Kyrie tells them the only way he's staying is if they max him out over 4 years? Is it worth $200-ish million to prevent a Jalen Brunson repeat?
