Feel so good to have a competent GM.
Everyone can make mistakes but at least we understand moves
Grant Williams is the perfect example for that. It made sense on paper but when it didn't work out they were quick to get rid of him.
Nico is a basketball mafia godfather. Knows everybody, has their respect.
Thoughts on mavericks they still have not solved there main issue. No third scorer that can take the load off of kyrie or Luka if one have a off night.
Yea the guy who didn’t sign Brunson to the crazy cheap 55 million dollar deal… traded KP (the champ) for two clowns that are now bench warmers on other teams.
@@JohnnyBananas7x Would you offer Jaden Hardy 55 million after this season? He played better than Brunson did before contract year. Also "KP (the champ)"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, dude was injured the whole playoffs. Only Boston could take that hit and win.
@@richardtran5617its coming.
@@richardtran5617 its coming.
Wow Nico actually did it! Listening from the Philippines on my vacation. Let it ride!!!
Now Detroit fans can enjoy Tim seniors' rants.
Such a shame thj's season ended like that considering how he started the season. I know hes always been inconsistent but i dont think eeve seen him struggling for that long... n the coaching staff taking his usual minutes n plays didnt help at all. Hopefully the new guy shoot more consistently and maybe they could even get more scoring
Similar to THJ, Grimes has no problem getting his shots. That is a good thing because outside of Luka and Kai (and Hardy), nobody else is really that type of
Now if only we can find a trade for Jeremy Grant while keeping PJ,Lively,Gafford.
Getting a proven scoring guard off the bench would also help Hardy is too inconsistent
Nah, I think the Jermey Grant boat has sailed. We definitely going have to give up someone for him because of the money that would be involved
Hardy will be better with more minutes..
@@dhay03 we have plenty assets to give up for him only untouchable are Luka, Kai, PJ, Lively, Gafford
@@karabomafa5609 been hearing the same thing past 2 seasons we don’t have time to develop we need a win now player
@@R3Y1023 You won't get anybody who's consistent to come off the bench at 7 or 8.. Hardy has been learning from Kyrie and you saw it in the Playoffs
That Maxi and Green S&T for Thompson or KCP and bringing Dinwiddie back is gonna hit way different here in a few days after we re sign DJJ of course...
We have our 25 or 31 first rounder (unprotected to add value), Green or Hardy (hopefully Green), and maybe Maxi as a contract. Those are our assets. Gonna be interesting to see what Nico turns that into before next years trade deadline...
Nico said each player needs to improve about 10%. Its not a flashy way to build team, but he is correct. Pj, djj , Green, Hardy, Grimes. Thats 5 young players who need to improve...and throw in Omax..
This is your team Mavs fans for the next two years. Everyone’s contract will be up and we will then know if we were good enough to get it done with this group. Good health is what we need.
That’s priority 1A and 1B lol…..other than getting Jimmy, KD, Kawhi or Giannis this is what it looks like. The trade deadline will be VERY INTERESTING. Nico could well pull off a six for one bonanza.
They might make the move in the off-season. But I see what you mean
My idea is Maxi Kleber, Josh Green first round pick for Deandre Hunter as a 3rd scoring option at our small forward position.
with grimes in, DJJr resigning (eventually). how about DDR as mavs 6MOY? he can create for himself to spell minutes while Luka/Kyrie sits he can playmake, voted clutch player of the year 2024. Sign-n-Trade for Green+fillers (Exum,Powell) + 1RP?
I'd pursue that KCP sign and trade. Denver might come around. KCP fits the identity we're building, Thompson really doesn't.
Well we got off our worse contract with THJ. Grimes is a upgrade and younger. Now go make the 1 big trade we need for a 3rd proven score who can get their own shot, play decent D and hit 3 at a high %.
Scoring is probably coming from Hardy,Exum,DJJ and PJ. Dliv could be a bonus. None of whom knew their role this time last year.
Grimes is actually better than Tim at what Tim does
THJ and draft is over. Now what about: Get Jerami Grant for Maxi Kleber and Josh Green after signing Derick Jones Jr, That would be great, for Dallas, Mavs already have Grime which is cheaper than Josh for now, but give more or less the same return, so they can get Grant and will have a great Wing that replace and Plus for Kleber and Jush.
Nick you're not from dallas??? what inspired you to be a mavs fan?
He is an excellent defender.
Great move.
It's "Rob Peter to pay Paul" lol
idk if josh a better playmaker lol. he’s too erratic
No on Klay since he has no defense. I would rather just resign DJJ and tell everyone on the team to improve.
With Grimes, Josh Green is going to be shipped soon
40min??? we eating good boys
Im a pistons fan. We got fleeced! Groundhogs day!
Enjoy a laugh when he’s hitting the side of the backboard with his 3’s.
Lukai window is short, there is no time to wait bloody Grimes, not good enough
Mavs don’t have anymore moves now, no team will take maxi and a second, I’m pretty sure we have one first but let’s not waste that
we’ve got 2 firsts, josh green, jaden hardy, and maxi is on an expiring deal next year. we could definitely make another move. However, nico said he doesn’t really want to, he plans on letting the young guys develop
@@Blake-wz6dk you might need to move Green to make space for Grimes/Hardy in the rotation. And 22-23 Grimes was >>>> better than Green has ever been
Ah as always in Nico we trust. If we get our 2nd chip build him a statue too lol
Now Maxi please!
Trade for another backup.
PG, Demar or KD should become priority. Need that 3rd scorer like yesterday.
let nico cook
Rob Peter to pay Paul 😂
hahahah, THAT'S what it was
Man you two are the best covering the Mavs!! Love y’all’s work!
Salary dump completed.
Second!!!! Lol
Why do people want KCP on this squad? I dont get it… we have 3D🪽. Lets see what this squad looks like now maybe trade Maxi a younger PF… come on NICO 😂
Does it seem like Nico has done more in 3 years than Don Nelson Jr. did in 15?!?!?!
""Keep the powder dry", GTFOH!!!
Does it seem like Nico has done more in 3 years than Don Nelson Jr. *WAS ALLOWED TO DO* in 15?!?!?!
Don Nelson was clearly incompetent. 15 years with the mavs and w.e experience he’s had. This is Nico’ FIRST TIME IN THE POSITION ! Nico has been a gm for 3 years and has put together A finals team
My favorite part of this trade? The trade period. I'd have been happy with a beer and peanuts in exchange for THJ.
I got a beer, at this point I'd be happy with some peanuts.
Watch him shoot 45% the entire next season :D
@@psychotropnilachtan8869 Not entirely impossible. He should have a lot of motivation to prove himself now, shame he couldn't sort it out in Dallas.
@@philipthavenius9801 doesnt pan out that way for everyone. Only Brunsen leveled up since the trade, but he always had that potental. All other players we traded in the Luka era remained mid or less.
@@psychotropnilachtan8869Even if he does he'll be giving up 60 on the other end. Who cares
That wall behind Slighlty was build by Tim Hardaway.
😂😂😂
dude!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Grimes in 2023 was around 50% from three for the last 25 games of the season and clearly has a slightly higher ceiling than Green. The Knicks were 17-8 to finish the year with Grimes playing 30+ minutes a game, averaging 21 ppg over his last nine games. He makes us much deeper and hopefully allows us to sit Kyrie and Luka a lot more
During the regular season. Both of them should play about 60 games while Green and Grimes soak up a lot of minutes in the fourth during blowouts.
Would love to see games where the stars don’t even see the court late and OMax and Hardy have a good time. And Lawson. God we are deep.
Luka and Kyrie will sit more because we have Grimes LOL?
@@markomarjanovic7643 yep……especially Kyrie. He’s 32 and can’t play 35/M a game for 70 games anymore. Luka’s always hurt so yea we need to have them stop playing in blowouts and on back to backs if we can. You need players coming off your bench you can win with when your stars need a break in a game. Or a game off. Both will get 40/M plus min come playoff time but during the regular season you can’t wear the stars out. Playing both big minutes in regular season games is stupid.
Tatum and Brown played 33-35 min a game.
Our guys played 35-37.5…….its just dumb doing that but evidently Kidd felt we had to. One of them has to be on the court all the time but not together all the time. That’s what I meant.
@@glennvastine5713 Do you know what role Grimes plays?? He's competition for DJJ and Green minutes, he's totally irrelevant to how much Irving and Doncic play.
@@glennvastine5713Luka had to play mad minutes due to Kyrie being out.
one thing for sure, grimes was not afraid to shoot unlike josh green. grimes is like thj who can defend. he will continue to shoot even if he goes 0-10 🤣
I don't why nick thinks green is a better passer/playmaker when the truth is green is just afraid to shoot
Slightly’ background screen being bricks 🤣🤣
Oh my
Subtle haha
All the thj bricks!
When u try to fast forward passed the commercials, forgot this is streaming live 😂
Real fans do Nick a solid and watch the commercials! 😂
@@5wisher5weet yes!! That's when I peruse the comments
@@seanwarner9893 good tip!
the 2 first round picks the mavs gave for KP and hardaway, with one of those picks the knicks used on grimes so basically mavs got that 1st round pic back hes a mav now. he was a starter for the knicks so he has ball handling skills .he put up 30 plus vs the mavs and they remember lol
Farewell, dear Tim, we bid adieu,
In Mavs blue, we cheered for you.
Through highs and lows, you fought the fight,
But now it's time to dim the light.
Twenty minutes on that finals stage,
No stat to mark, no tale to page.
Yet when it didn't count, you found your groove,
Five threes in a quarter, a lone-star move.
Your father's joy, a subtle glee,
No longer with Luka, best in the league.
In Detroit, you'll shoot, free as a bird,
Miss all you want, no angry word.
So here's to you, Tim, and all you've done,
A chapter closed, a new begun.
May Motown's courts your spirit fill,
Farewell, dear Tim, and shoot at will.
I’m a Knicks and Mavs fan I can tell you this is the best deal the mavericks could have done ✅
As a Mavs fan, I hope Knicks will get the final next year! 🎉
Didn’t know that was possible, thought Knicks and Mavs fans hate each other
Aye shoutout the New York mavs and the Dallas Knicks. Been trading for years 😂
Nico Corleone back at it again
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 🏀🔥🙌
O Max gonna really surprise a lotta people the season coming, mark my words
Hope you're right!
Does anyone went to sadness state after celebrating THJ trade? Im glad but THJ has been a part of this team so long. Farewell brick prince. Highs were so high but lows were lowest.
No
Not one bit...I was ecstatic to see him gone
Goodbye, Terribly Hoisted Jumper
I don't give a shit about millionaires getting traded away especially the non impact players.
No
I think Luka really likes Josh Green so he is safe. Remember also that when our stars were failing the worst, Josh showed grit and skill in game 5 of the finals. He led the scoring in the 1st half, his defensive effort was top notch and his role-player and floor-spacing discipline makes him perfect for the mavs.
He's the Mavs' Taz.
Grimes is perfect for the Mavs off the bench, and THJ is gone to give money to DJJ. Win-win.
To refresh Mavs fans who Quentin Grimes is, remember Luka's 60-20-10 Christmas game? The guy leading the Knicks on the other end (JB was injured) was Grimes with 33
Josh and Maxi for Wiggins
Sign DJJ
Don’t change the starting 5, bring Lively, Wiggins, Grimes, Hardy, Exum, Omax off the bench
SOLID
Wiggins should start over DJJ
Josh is better than Wiggins. Jesus look at the numbers. He’s a better shooter, better passer and makes less than half what Wiggins makes. You trade guys like Green, Grimes, OMax etc in a trade for future hall of famers who are old. Not for overrated nobody’s like that guy.
Every player in the Mavs will be a worst player elsewhere, because of Luka, just remember that,
Wiggins has the potential to rejuvenate his career in Dallas, just like Kyrie, DJJ, PJ, Gafford.
Can’t look at the numbers bro, potential!!!
Josh as Maxi ceiling is where it is, and Maxi will potentially be next year Hardaway
I don’t want Wiggins. Dude is mentally soft.
@@Mavericks787 well Maxi makes 11/M for two more years so he’s not likely to be “dumped”.
Wiggins would be better here but again I’d take green or grimes over him at this point,
ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. He was awful vs kings in the playoff game.
You could've told me Nico traded Tim for a bag of stale potato chips and I would've been happy. Tim not being on the roster means Kidd is literally incapable of playing him. The value of that can't be put into words.
I'm almost certain that trading Hardaway for a player another team doesn't want will solve all problems. First thing I would do is make free throw shooting practice one hour a day(all year) mandatory, some of these guys making millions still have no touch.
“You have to replace Tim’s shooting”? Did you watch the last 30+ games of the year?
The only thing you need to replace Timmy with is someone who won’t commit knuckleheads turnovers, awful shot selection and overall bad decision making. The guy was of complete negative value.
Hardy is NOT THAT GUY. He’s a 21 yo with a 15 yo mentality. Greater chance he’s a bust than an average NBA player. Way overvalued and should be traded this summer.
Grimes is a great player you guys will enjoy him a lot
@nick you keep the kids happy by not having old broken-down players like Maxie, Dwight and before he left Timmy getting time over them, you got to admit Timmy getting playing time caused hardy and others to get less time
In potentially his last game with the warriors Klay was 0-10. What do you have to do to stop getting huge contracts from stupid nba owners?
He’s worth something but nowhere near the number he was making. I still remember the contract Jordan gave
Hayward (4 yrs 120/M). This is something you should avoid at all cost.
One or two years max, because when the shot goes it will be swift and brutal.
Quentin Grimes isn’t a scrub. He is a good 3&D player. Will hustle defensively the entire time and shoots almost 40% from 3PT at NBA distance. The defensive work he put on Jimmy Butler was elite. As a bench player, he is a perfect addition to the team. Same with Ajinca, who has a tall ceiling with his intangibles, just doesn’t have the experience yet to utilize them consistently
Grimes too was a salary dump by Detroit.
@@florida1289 I’m not really sure which of my points you were trying to emphasize, but I will accept it lol. I appreciate the comment bro
@@Sally55100Grimes getting a clear role and gaining confidence in that role has the potential to become a “Nembhard
Nico I'm just giving a friendly advice but next time don't tell someone that is up for a contract that they are priority 1 and 2 lol it put you at a big disadvantage at singing them
Had 35pt game for the Knicks. Strong on ball defender and much better driving to the basket than THJ was. He also has good court vision. Looking at Piston stats for Grimes is foolish. He played a total of 5 games after the trade. It took PJ and Gafford a while to get comfortable in their role on offense.Welcome Quentin!!
Don't forget that Tim came in lower then what he could have gotten on his last contract...He has been a loyal Maverick while it lasted.
mavs should pursue Obi Toppin probably via sign & trade exchange for Kleber and Powell
Obi is shooting 40% from threes 60%fg, athletic, good defender, lob threat, good at transition,
Obi is gonna be Kleber replacement, backup to PJ or starter next to PJ
"Dallas should trade two bad players for a good one" You realize the other team has to accept a trade right? Lol
@@johncarolina4950 and Rick Carlisle is their coach, he's probably ecstatic getting his old players
I totally got the movie line as soon as you said it! "You need to go home and rethink your life.". I'm here for the movie quotes and the basketball!
One of the few that like THJ, though it was time to move on. W trade, s/o Nico!!!!
Welcome Grimes !!
Also hope Timmy is a sniper & averages 20+ for the pistons lol
Lmao klay thompson is literally just tim hardaway jr at this point in his career.
"the lube of trades...they pushed one through" with a devilish grin is absolutely diabolical and hilarious Nick Angstadt 😭😭
@24:25
Fckng hilarious 🤣
The Knicks are becoming a Villanova alum team. Grimes being a Texas native probably did fit in with all the Villanova guys.
Green also was an untouchable, as far as trades, up to this season really.
Between Grimes/Green, Jonesy won't have to wear himself out reg. season. And Kidd likes the bench look with 2 Biggs/ 3 Guards.
Note: Exum is also an excellent point of attack defender..
Also, Also, I'll say Hardy isn't known for his Defense, but it wasn't like he was getting torched ever.
It's like Lukas "blow-bye" rate in the playoffs. It was mostly scheme, to funnel guys to a PJ/Gafford sandwich.
And Lukas 1 on 1 Def rate is really, really good. Dudes may get by him, but those dudes are NOT scoring much. But they don't talk about that.
Tims a good player to have on a sh!t team. He can create his own shot and if he gets hot enough he can win you the occasional game you weren't supposed to win.
Nick, you're way too optimistic for believing Josh Green could still become that defender we need. It's been years now, he is who he is
He's got good ball pressure, but can't get around screens. Def not a lock down defender, but just average to above average
He’s the youngest member of the 7/8 man main rotation by 2-3 years….
Everyone wants Mavs to develop more but god forbid we give our young guys time to….
@JTMont21 I agree, but man I'm tired of seeing Josh die on screens. It's his biggest weakness. If he's not putting pressure on the ball, hitting 3s and just all around energy like going after loose balls, then he's kinda worthless
@@BballerShowcasehe's going into his 5th season. There's been plenty of time for him to develop
Really?? Has he literally not improved his game every season since being in the league? He is young af and you probably thought the same about Brunson. Nico did. Sorry he isn’t shutting down the top scorers in the game that nobody else can stop either which is why they are the top scorers in the game. Iso D isn’t the only type of defense anyway. It’s a part of it. Steals, rebounds, charges, loose balls etc.
Grimes played great for the knicks when injuries plagued them
Please stop calling Josh Green a playmaker. What is your favorite play? The early pick up of his dribble into a jump pass or the head down drive for a blown layup?
The headdown drive into a jump pass.
How slightly go form streaming in Cancun to streaming in a back alley.
I honestly don't see Josh Green staying in Dallas after this trade
I honestly think there is room for both of them. Keep in mind, THJ still averaged nearly 27 mins per game last year. That is a lot of minutes to replace.
Can't watch Locked on Mavs with SB on. Sorry.
Yeah, he is a liberal nut job.
I WANT MATISSE THYBULLE
The standard is the celtics... that means we need more firepower. That means we have to come off of green or hardy or possibly exum if he plays well again in the first half of the season, if grimes plays well here he will allow us to move one of those 3 guys (most likely green due to his contract) along with future picks and maxi and Powell to get 1 more all star level player in here.
Celtics played nobody and Luka was on injured knees. The Bucks will represent the East in the Finals next year.
Nico is the reason GM of the year needs to be announced after the season is over, not when the meaningful part of the season starts. Nico is the best thing to happen to the Mavericks since Luka
Been thinking on this move all day. I really love it!! It even got me wondering if Grimes couldn't win a starting spot.
Let's say he's all healthy and is having a year like the one before this last one. Where he's hitting close to 40% from 3 and getting 11 points a game. I could see Kidd going with Grimes to start and then going to DJJ. A little offense-defense.
One of the guys covering the Knicks called his corner 3 "elite". Also said that he was making Knicks fans wonder if he might be the next Klay with his shooting and defense. Now, we're dealing with a Knicks fan covering the team so we need to dial all that down to a 6. But sounds like Nico was really cooking.
Surely the Nuggets aren't so petty that they lose a very valuable asset for nothing. I agree with Slightly, call their bluff. Josh Green & Kleber for KCP would def help solve our Point of Attack defender need, plus KCP has shot over 40% from 3 the past two seasons. However he has been playing the 2 guard his whole career, but he would need to slide to the 3 for us. The main issue I see is this roster would be loaded at the SG position and weak at Forward depth. KCP, Exum, & Grimes are all about 6'5" SGs, and Hardy is listed at 6'4" but feel like he's closer to 6'3". Kryie & Luka average 72.5 of the 96 minutes at the Gaurd positions. That only leaves 23.5 minutes of backcourt time to split between those 4 players, so most of their minutes would be played at the SF. With Kleber gone & O'Max not developed enough, who is our backup PF? DJJ would have to slide up to the 4 when PJ sits.
Luka - Kyrie - KCP - Washington - Lively
Exum - Hardy - Grimes - DJJ - Gafford
While this team would be better than last year's team, I don't see enough scoring on this team. They had solid defense last year and would be arguably better with this team, but they lost due to lack of scoring. Unless Lively & Hardy take huge steps up this season, the Mavs would still need a legit 3rd scoring option. But a lineup of Kyrie - KCP - DJJ - PJ - Gafford would be nasty on defense with a ton of athletic lob threats... fun to watch.
But after typing this out, I still like the Jerami Grant rumors over KCP. Grimes & DJJ would be your PoA defenders, while Grant is a 6'7" forward who's scored 20.8 points averaged over his last 4 seasons. That fills a bigger position of need currently (forward depth & legit 3rd scoring option.)
slightly 🥳 slovenian main daily will most likely cover dallas’s trade(s) and signing(s). avoid reading it (it’s called “delo”, in translation meaning “work”) 🎉
Dallas don’t have third scorer the bench is weak. And teams will exploit the Luka and Kyrie better next year. Lively and gafford have to become shooter at some point. Maxi need to get traded big for nothing.
Hardaway & 3 2nds for Grimes & DJJ? All Day!!! And I think Grimes is maybe the better allround player. Maybe not as good of a shooter as THJ can be, but is gonna be more steady and a better defender.
I think this shifts the Mavs to a deadline team again. And I don't think I mind. I would prefer if the Mavs could use the remaining draft picks, Josh Green & Maxi for Jerami Grant. But that may not be enough until the deadline.
This SHIT does NOT move the needle for us LEGITIMATELY competing with the Boston Celtics. Nico, has done an OUTSTANDING job thus far for the cards he’s dealt but, THIS AIN’T it!!!
Slightly high AF
Slightly stoned
Smoking on that Timmy packkkkk
Mavs needed Tim, when Mavs sucked..(were mediocre).. Mavs are a winning team now who DONT depend on being unconscious with respect to making 3s to win.. No room for Tim (Nor Tim Sr)
Nico Harris should sign Jamarion Sharpe, 7'5 as their third center in case DLive or Gafford is hurt. He is mobile and a rim protector. Mavs should engage him before anyone signs him
Mavs need shooters and another good center because Maxi is just taking up salary and space. If you keep him, I'm sure he'll be even more of a liability. We should try hard for a good veteran shooter and not end up becoming a kindergarten of young, inexperienced players.
Please no thompson...this is not thompson 10 years ago. This is worser bricker then Timmy the shooters shot. This thompson has an additional fallacy and that is ego and he will throw brick after brick. Pleaseeeeee no thompson. You need big strong bodies. Grimes is OK, but that lets stop there.
No grimes Is better than Josh Green go check him out when he was playing with the Knicks and had the opportunity to play, who plays both ends and can shoot it from downtown, if Dallas utilize him right, he will be good, but it starts with Jason Kidd, being more creative on offense not trying to run into the same problems we had in the finals
Look Tim was a loyal Mav but sadly it was time to move on. In relation and I'm not sure if this was on purpose but I love that Slightly Bias has a brick wall as the background to see off Tim's tenure as a Mav 😅
Quentin Grimes is a huge upgrade lifetime knicks fan we let tim hardaway go twice lol and i said and will stand on my comment the knicks will regret letting go of grimes him going back home to texas and now playing for the mavs lol the team that the knicks stole jb from story book . its going to hurt every time
Toxicity toward's THJ was largely due to team construction, being the third most paid player on the team and not acting like it.
Dallas needs one of their bigs to become a stretch 4/5. Otherwise, Lively and Gafford is a little too redundant.
You didn’t have to pitch Christian Wood. He had like every talking head in TH-cam finessed into thinking he was good.
I’ve never seen slightly smiling as much as in the thumbnail Nico really saved us from another year of thj
Anything (👍)
