Nico - ??? Honestly the deal makes no sense from his end....if we assume the goal is to win rings. You either keep Luka or ransom him for the biggest haul possible. He clearly wasn't aiming for the fences which means he was told to make that shyt happen and take all the heat. If this was for Giannis, it would be more logical. Great 2-way player that has generally been healthy. AD is both older than Luka AND more injury prone.
It makes no sense because he did the deal in secrecy . All he has to is make it public that Luka can be had and teams would’ve lined in with better offers. No mater what he says, they could’ve gotten even better return than AD. I don’t even want Luka and Houston could’ve easily given Dallas more than the Lakers

I called it last month that relying too much on Irving was going to fail because the truth is that as great as Kyrie is, he's not supposed to be the #1 option; putting all that pressure on him was bound to fail; he's supposed to be Robin, not Batman. I knew he was eventually gonna be added to the Mavs injured list.

Dallas might not even make the playoffs, let alone the Play-In, and god forbid if Kyrie gets injured trying to carry the load, the Mavericks could be in trouble.
