I think if AD had better offers he would’ve been shipped out for them

THE POINT IS THEY
WOULDN'T HAVE TRADED
HIM AT ALL DUE TO THE
FACT THEY TRADED LUKA FOR HIM.

THEY WOULD HAVE SIMPLY
WAITED FOR KYRIE TO GET HEALTHY.

THATS WHY POSTING
THOSE TRADE RESULTS ARE
DISINGENUOUS WOTHOUT
LISTING FLAGG

I’d say the fact that Kyrie is out, that AD has spent most of his time in Dallas in street clothes and Nico being fired made it easier to part ways with AD as well. The fanbase and organization have already come to terms with it being a L

Mavs just wanted to be done with AD

Wizards are punting this season and looking to compete next year adding Trae, AD and another lottery pick to their young core

I like the trade. Teams wait too long to trade away failing situations then they have no leverage to trade when it's clear the guy sucks/is declining.

See Ben Simmons. They could've traded that bozo years in advance and got a king's ransom. Trade while you can still fleece people.

AD is good but, he's injury prone. He's going to be terrible by the time Cooper starts ascending. It makes sense to ship him out and try to grab more guys in the draft.

luka got flipped for cooper flagg and yall know it stop this dumb sh-t, we not gon act like cooper flag already a better 2 way player in year 1 than Luka has been in his entire career

Let people play dumb. I'm not a Mavs fan at all but, they're like 3 years away from contending as long as they get Cooper some good costars.

From Luka to Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, 2 first-round picks and 3 second-rounders

There will never be a bigger L than the Nico defenders :wow:


Add to that the trade contributed to them getting the #1 pick Flagg. The verdict is still out on whether or not it was worth it. It seemed doubtful Luka was gonna get them to a ship. It probably would have been a Giannis situation in the end.
