@@catdogfishdogcats Makes sense when u think about, they're both late second round picks and one is younger then the other whilst being healthier. It checks out.
Let’s be honest here. The NBA needed a stir up and a top 3 international player in LA is almost as SUs as Wemby in SA with Pop. If the Spurs land Flagg and OKC lands Ace Bailey, then trae Young joins Luka. We have a real interesting addition to the Rockets, Knicks, Nuggets (if Westbrook continues to shine and they land a decent defender) as exciting teams with wonderful story lines. Next up is moving the 3pt line back. Ratings will go up with small tweaks and a little bit of rigging of squads.
I got so mad with their final season because they literally stoped being a basketball parody and went actual bs cringe fantasy cliche storyline that had nothing to do with the season, I have no idea why the show had to end and why the chose to do what they did but I wish it was still around because it was soo good. One of the worst decisions ever. Almost as bad as Mavs trading Luka for an injury prone guy about to retire in less than 4 years
I'm not even joking when I say this needs to be investigated for some sort of collusion. Literally nothing about this trade or how it went down makes ANY sense from the Mavs perspective. If you are even considering trading a player who will be a perennial MVP candidate for the next decade, why would you NOT make that as widely known around the league as possible in order to start a bidding war and drive up the price? Gobert went for 4 first round picks. Mikal Bridges went for 5. Dallas got a 32 year old center and ONE first round pick for a top 3 player in basketball at 25 years old. One of the biggest fleeces in the history of sports, full stop
There's definitely something fishy there; its probably more of a business decision than a basketball decision. You know, as a basketball fan, its easy to shout "give him the bag," but maybe all they want is to keep it low. It's a private team, and if the owner has different ambitions, there's nothing you can do about it...
@@adibenmatitiau1322 doesn't make sense from business perspective either. Luka puts asses in seats. He's one of the most popular players in the league. An international superstar. Think of all the merch sales mavs just lost as luka fanboys happily take their money to the lakers lol
As a (likely former) mavs fan from Dallas, I was in Slovenia when mavs drafted him, and the people I talked about him with were so proud of their hometown star Luka, and I felt that hometown love was transferred to Dallas - just a catastrophic mistake to trade him - thank you for your raw take, it's comforting to see other fanbases share their indignation at this travesty
Nico also called Luka a fat lazy looser so he also disrespected him before he left. He also made Rob Pelinka look like the next Jerry West lol. This is worst most insane descion in basketball history.
All of the Luka haters in the media will now give credit to Lebron being this amazing mentor of Luka absolutely kills it and wins multiple chips. When in reality as a Mavs fan I know he plays best when he’s pissed off and losing that much money is gonna piss him off!!!
im a spurs fan and im telling you i would have given up literally anything dallas wanted but wemby for luka. they can have it all bro. i would have cried for luka and wemby
Dude, that would have been so nice. I've been a mavs fan since 06, and I'm not sure what to do. I think I'll continue to root for the players, but become the fan of different franchises. Spurs, Rockets, and Lakers (as long as Luka is on the team)
Their excuse is Lukas conditioning? The dude is who he is and is cooking everyone. Whatever he is doing is working to put up MVP caliber numbers every year. Everyone needs to be on that program 😂
If you think 350$ million is too much to pay Luka you have no business being an owner. Side tangent: When are we gonna finally man up and ban owners from non profit sport leagues? They are the least useful employee yet take the lions share of the money. Seriously the guy who sells hot dogs adds more to the companies value. Owners give their teams to the city they are in. We compensate them if the gross income theyve made isnt equal to or greater than what they paid to buy the team. Then every penny they make after costs goes directly into the city for schools, roads etc. Thats how you make cities love and care about their teams.
@@SpencerPoncer If AD was not as injury prone then sure, but hes getting older and those injuries arent going to help while Luka is 25 and hasnt evem hit his prime yet. Mfer had generational numbers in the post season whether healthy or injured.
So basically Nico got tired of Luka being out of shape and averaging 30 and 12 every night? Plus him being 25 (soon to be 26 wow he's really getting up there in age) not even in his prime years yet. Valid reasoning indeed. Understandable, though I do hope that you have 24/7 security cause the fans will never forgive you for this
This is fr best case scenario for Luka. About to go learn from the man that takes the best care of his body in all of sports, and it’s gonna put a chip on his shoulder he’s going to be a dog after this. Feel bad for mavs fans because this is going to make Luka unstoppable
This damages the league overall there’s no point in supporting these nba teams anymore a gross miscalculation by the league in a desperate attempt to prop up LeBum and the Lakers for ratings yet again
Thank god I chose to become a fan of the last name on the jersey instead of an actual team when I started watching basketball. I've followed Harden everywhere he's gone and now I will be doing the same for Luka Magic.
As a Mavs fan I'm devastated. I was literally driving in downtown a few days ago thinking about how bright Dallas sports' future looked with Luka leading the charge for years to come despite the cowboys looking more and more unserious by the day. This is crazy but I wish the best for Luka in LA
As a mavs fan I’m devastated. I became a recent mavs fan because I was a huge kyrie guy and felt he was so unfairly criticized all the way to his Brooklyn years. when I saw them take him in 2023 I said I’d stick with the mavs. Luka instantly became my second favorite player and watching the heartbreak of that season turn into drafting lively made me hopeful. I watched every single game last season. Preseason, all 82, and the playoff run which was so special because we weren’t a team that people were talking about until after the all star break. The Celtics won but the mavs were honestly the darling story last year seeing Kai be a leader and Luka physically lead this team during injury. I won’t be an LA fan and after this? I’m not sure I can be loyal to a team that did its franchise player like this…. I will continue to watch for my favorite players but man…. This makes Jimmy butler honestly seem right and player loyalty should no longer be a conversation after this trade.
It’s funny, most OKC fans have been feeling sorry for the Mavs despite the rivalry brewing,it was toxic but I was really looking forward to the OKC vs Mavs rivalry, it made too much sense, both teams are close in proximity with young top 5 players on both teams, even if Dallas wins a chip(I doubt they will) this trade is not worth it, “loyalty never fades away” my ass, thank you cone for getting mad along with us
Had to watch the game tonight just to see where this was going, but yeah... doubt I'll be watching any more Mav games for the foreseeable future. Both Ky and Klay joined the team so they could play 2 and 3 instead of 1 and 2, so they're both getting screwed by this trade as well. Would be very surprised if Ky sticks around, and then this whole thing will completely fall apart.
I don't understand it. When I heard Nico Collins talk in that press conference and he didn't even ask Jason Kidd and then everybody is laughing at you because it's such a shitty decision, it's bewildering. It's Luka wtf. Like, you're worried about his conditioning but not worried about Anthony Davis who hasn't played 65+ games since 2018 with last year being the only exception? Like, what the actual fuck? If Luka was 31 and it was for a 32 year old AD with Klay, Lively, and Kyrie, it would be a decent trade. But they just gave the Lakers like 2 championships minimum. Luka isn't even in his fucking prime. I feel like the only way this makes sense is if Luka did some truly heinous Deshaun Watson shit. Kyrie should go to the Lakers. That shit would be funny as hell. Edit: Why not shop Luka? Like, you have all the power in this. Why would you not get like 6 first round picks from the Spurs? They would 1000% sell all their picks to get Luka and Wemby on their team. You could have gotten so much more from this.
Makes sense if you go full on conspiracy mode. Adam silver forced it for viewership no way the most storied, marketable, and money making team ends up with a top 5 player by giving up nothing useful. U less the nba had a say in what will happen. Or they are planning to relocate and the Dallas fanbase wont matter anymore.
@ compared to an already hall of famer that’s 25 years old and led his team to a finals id say yes long term AD is a useless asset. And even now he’s irrelevant won’t affect this team in any meaningful way that’ll lead to a championship.
As a Mavs fan for 25 years. I feel cheated, betrayed, and lied to Luka, Kyrie, Kidd, and thr Mavs team that fought for a month+ waiting for Luka to come back. This new Mavs Organization isn't the Mavericks I grew up with. It died on Christmas Day 2024
The more I think about the current Mavs they might win it all fr I need Kyrie to lock in bro water intake 3 servings of veggies a day multivitamins yoga all that shit bro
You know how crazy it is when the county themselves named a holiday after him. Only 3 years after coming to the U.S., you don’t just do that and most importantly both the people AND the politicians agreed to it!! I don’t think they realize the damage they done to the organization’s reputation.
I am a Luka fan but have supported Mavs for a while now and this was a heart dropping moment, I dont understand how an organization, can take the time to acquire players last year free agency and this offseason to build around luka and trade him.. every piece they had TO ME felt right they had depth and the only reason why the record Is bad Is due to Injuries. so ok, lets chalk up this season but atleast we have young talent.. atleast we still have Luka.. but no.. all that Is gone. culture Is gone.. Pj, Gaff and Kyrie are sitting out for the Cavs game.. they listed as Injured but I dont buy It.. this team will hurt and so will fans. this shit Is sad.. Nico was once considered the best GM now public enemy number 1
Imagine Kyrie taking this personally, he seem like the guy who value a level of respect from the front office 😆He could force a rebuild and a situation where Dallas get significantly less than trading Luka for picks to begin with
Disgusting trade. Worse Trade in NBA history. Mavs ruined their entire franchise. I will not watch the Mavs for next 10 years. Disgusting. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢
AD not being there makes them a first out unless luka comes back ready to go. It still doesnt make any sense. they say hes out of shape and doesnt focus on staying in shape. IDK maybe it has to do with the fact he always wants to play for his home country in the off season. Luka was a 15 year shot at the playoffs. This was Nico tying to show whos in charge.
Forget the trade because business is business at the end of the day but not letting the man know after everything he’s given your franchise is criminal!
I've been a Mavs fan since the 3J's days. I feel betrayed. Even if they go back to the Finals this year or next, I don't care. Nico Harrison, the Dumonts and Adelsons deserve nothing but the worst fates
I totally agree with you, but IF the defense improvement if big and the offense decrease is small, then this might make sense if it gets you over the hump in the playoff matchups. BIG IF, indeed. Mavs whole market value will ride or die on this playoffs. Maybe Elon Musk can buy it for cheap in the summer after they only make it to the second round, then fire Nico and use AI to run the team.
What is really bad for business if he has to be paid $350 million dollars in the next 5 years, and may likely miss out most games due to health issues like what has been happening recently to mega-rich bench warmers like Zion Williamson, Kawhi Lenard, Ben Simmons, etc.
Just a thought but if Luka never plays a full healthy season or finishes a playoff run for the rest of his career would this still be a bad trade for Dallas?
A trade to the Lakers? That would be huge for Dončić. With LeBron nearing retirement-whether this season or next-he might even transition into coaching, keeping his presence strong in LA. For Luka, it’s an opportunity to play on a bigger stage and cement his legacy in one of basketball’s most legendary franchises.
When the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees, a curse was put on them and it was over 80 years before they won another championship. Luka magic is real and the Mavs are now doomed. The Sox had the curse of the Bambino. The Mavs now have the curse of Luka Magic.
This legitimately may end up with the Mavericks having to relocate cities
Welcome to the world Las Vegas Mavericks
wichita mavericks please 🙏🙏
I'm pretty sure the ownership wants them to, Vegas is where the rest of their businesses are so gpt says
Nah Durk ain’t suffer all them years for them to leave the city

This unironically needs to be investigated. This feels like a deliberate move to lower the franchise value from the new owners.
Did the NBA quietly encourage this to get more eyes on the league? To the Lakers as LeBron is aging out is just chefs kiss perfect

As a Mavs fan for 25 years. I feel cheated, betrayed, and lied to Luka, Kyrie, Kidd, and thr Mavs team that fought for a month+ waiting for Luka to come back. This new Mavs Organization isn't the Mavericks I grew up with. It died on Christmas Day 2024
Lakers traded for Luka just to get torched by Nikola Jokić twice as bad now that they have to use Jaxson Hayes and Christian Wood.
The more I think about the current Mavs they might win it all fr I need Kyrie to lock in bro water intake 3 servings of veggies a day multivitamins yoga all that shit bro
I'll go with you to Lakers...the same bad feelings, betrayal and greed!
You got my subscription minute ago.
You know how crazy it is when the county themselves named a holiday after him. Only 3 years after coming to the U.S., you don’t just do that and most importantly both the people AND the politicians agreed to it!!
I don’t think they realize the damage they done to the organization’s reputation.
When i saw YOU drop the F bomb on Twitter, i knew it was big
Fully expect the NBA in the offseason to announce an expansion team in Las Vegas and the majority owner will end up being Miriam Adelson.
I am a Luka fan but have supported Mavs for a while now and this was a heart dropping moment, I dont understand how an organization, can take the time to acquire players last year free agency and this offseason to build around luka and trade him.. every piece they had TO ME felt right they had depth and the only reason why the record Is bad Is due to Injuries. so ok, lets chalk up this season but atleast we have young talent.. atleast we still have Luka.. but no.. all that Is gone. culture Is gone.. Pj, Gaff and Kyrie are sitting out for the Cavs game.. they listed as Injured but I dont buy It.. this team will hurt and so will fans. this shit Is sad.. Nico was once considered the best GM now public enemy number 1
Imagine Kyrie taking this personally, he seem like the guy who value a level of respect from the front office 😆He could force a rebuild and a situation where Dallas get significantly less than trading Luka for picks to begin with
Disgusting trade. Worse Trade in NBA history. Mavs ruined their entire franchise. I will not watch the Mavs for next 10 years. Disgusting. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢
AD not being there makes them a first out unless luka comes back ready to go. It still doesnt make any sense. they say hes out of shape and doesnt focus on staying in shape. IDK maybe it has to do with the fact he always wants to play for his home country in the off season. Luka was a 15 year shot at the playoffs. This was Nico tying to show whos in charge.
The only way this makes sense is if Pelinka kidnapped the gms family and was holding them at gun point.
Ya know as a wolves fan, the 2 very big and questionable trades that we made over the last 5 years don’t really seem that bad now…
Him being currently overweight at 270 pounds and missing all these games this season has something to do with all this.
Nico Harrison very obviously the lakers biggest fan
Apparently, he has history with Kobe and LeBron.
nico and rob had an agreement in place... there was never any chance for other teams to have a shot at trading for luka...
I do know Luka was pushing 300 pounds and the mavs was like….. is this worth the investment when he got injury prone tag
Forget the trade because business is business at the end of the day but not letting the man know after everything he’s given your franchise is criminal!
I've been a Mavs fan since the 3J's days. I feel betrayed. Even if they go back to the Finals this year or next, I don't care. Nico Harrison, the Dumonts and Adelsons deserve nothing but the worst fates
A didn’t know threecone was a Weeknd fan, fw the shirt
One of my favorite artists ever
If you didn’t think NBA was fake before, you should realize it now
Here are my thoughts on this trade

6:42 I call its a inside job
I totally agree with you, but IF the defense improvement if big and the offense decrease is small, then this might make sense if it gets you over the hump in the playoff matchups. BIG IF, indeed. Mavs whole market value will ride or die on this playoffs. Maybe Elon Musk can buy it for cheap in the summer after they only make it to the second round, then fire Nico and use AI to run the team.
What is really bad for business if he has to be paid $350 million dollars in the next 5 years, and may likely miss out most games due to health issues like what has been happening recently to mega-rich bench warmers like Zion Williamson, Kawhi Lenard, Ben Simmons, etc.
Just a thought but if Luka never plays a full healthy season or finishes a playoff run for the rest of his career would this still be a bad trade for Dallas?
If AD healthy, then no. But if he keeps getting injured, then YES
You know its crazy when he blunders the intro.
A trade to the Lakers? That would be huge for Dončić. With LeBron nearing retirement-whether this season or next-he might even transition into coaching, keeping his presence strong in LA.
For Luka, it’s an opportunity to play on a bigger stage and cement his legacy in one of basketball’s most legendary franchises.
When the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees, a curse was put on them and it was over 80 years before they won another championship. Luka magic is real and the Mavs are now doomed.
The Sox had the curse of the Bambino. The Mavs now have the curse of Luka Magic.
Ive never seen such a collective what the fuck just happened in my life. Theres no world no galaxy no universe where this makes any sort of sense.
Can you do a video on the Blazers? They are 7-1 in their last 8 games and the only team they lost to is your OKC Thunder
The only positive about this trade is the cone crashouts and rants, best thing to happen to TH-cam
