@@Zombiezzz101depends on the game tbh, they have a lot of solid guys who can pop off any game, and lively doesn’t even start. But yea some games he’s the third best, sometimes it’s pj, or gafford, or even djj

It's very smart even without hindsight imo. Consider that the clipper have $200 million in luxury tax. 750k is nothing when teams are paying that kind of money.
As a Knicks fan I hated this decision but I knew deep down it was the right one. There was a really good chance that they miss the playoffs and lose their pick if they win this game
The weekend before this tank game, I bought a ticket for United center to see Luka play vs the bulls. Turns out he didn’t show up due to foot soreness or something. Watched Tim Hardaway jr play.
Give the GM and coach a raise for that. Lively has been a good player for them and they're 1 game away from the finals after being the 11th seed last season
And of course he's now instrumental to beating my wolves and possibly winning it all. Funny how the chips fall haha..I didn't think much of the mavs when they didn't even make the play in last year
The mavericks did not actually have a chance at the playin tournament. If The mavericks won this game and their final game, the thunder still would’ve had to lose their last game to the grizzlies, a team whose playoff position was already set. Neither team ended up playing starters in that game, and the thunder still won by 15.
Yh tanking is not always just for the worst teams to get the best picks. Might be a contender with one piece missing, this is what the mavs might just have done
At the end of the day Dallas should have lost this pick. This has gambling implications, integrity of the game, and knowing a team intentionally has lost.
@@Hussein-Bdairthunder drafted him and traded for Cason Wallace, another rookie. It was kind of like the hawks and mavs trade for Luka and Trae respectively.
On one had it's kinda crazy they intentionally missed the playin. On the other hand it would have been hilarious if someone leapfrogged them so they lose the pick anyway.
Dallas fans have had a rollercoaster from WCF to 11th seed to most likely a finals appearance.
Ecf??

And everybody blamed Kyrie for not making the playoffs
Yeah hopefully he can recover
I mean technically they started losing way more after Kyrie came in at the time because if I remember before the trade mavs were like the 6th seed

Proved to be a good idea Derrick lively has been pretty good so far
He's their third best player he hasn't been pretty good he's been amazing
@@Zombiezzz101 yeah that’s what I thought, but I haven’t watched a lot of mavs games so I didn’t want to say something that wasn’t true

well now he has a sprained neck
And now hes hurt!
The GM was actually onto something
Nico Harrison is a genius
@@Waffle77362He’s the same guy that failed the Nike pitch to Curry, which led him to signing with Under Armour instead. Very up and down career so far

@@codg3484 nikael sucks anyway
@@Waffle77362 lol
Mark cuban like screw that 750 you can keep that 🤣
Mav got fined 750k for that 😂
At the moment that is stupid but in hindsight thats probably a great investment
You know Mark Cubain was writing that check while dancing in his office after getting Lively.
It's very smart even without hindsight imo. Consider that the clipper have $200 million in luxury tax. 750k is nothing when teams are paying that kind of money.
Technically they drafted Cason wallace but they traded for Derrick lively
🤓
They drafted the players for each other for the trade so they may as well have picked him
I remember watching that game and was upset that we were tanking when we had a chance to go to the playoffs. Thank god I was wrong. GO MAVS!!!
Lmao and they are about to sweep the wolves 😭
@@juancarloscorrea8134 well that didn't happen

praying for your trauma
One of the smartest moves in Mavs history
Derrick lively the most underrated rookie and pj & gafford are 2 of the best pickups of the trade deadline
That is the best payoff ever. Lively is a huge part of their playoff success.
Don't forget Lukas flopping and refs blowing him
Bad kitty 😂

Theo Pinson and The French prince Frank are awesome

It's funny that Luka and Kyrie also mised the last two games this season but for a completely different reason

I remember watching that game thinking, why are they tanking if they can still get into the playoffs?
The mavericks did not actually have a chance at the playin tournament. If The mavericks won this game and their final game, the thunder still would’ve had to lose their last game to the grizzlies, a team whose playoff position was already set. Neither team ended up playing starters in that game, and the thunder still won by 15.
Its even better than that bro. They traded back from the 10th pick and got to dump Bertans horrible contract and selected Lively at 12
realistically the NBA should've just given the knicks the pick cuz tanking like that shouldn't be allowed and it creates a precedent
Yh tanking is not always just for the worst teams to get the best picks.
Might be a contender with one piece missing, this is what the mavs might just have done
Bro I was at this game and it was my first Mavs game ever
I was at the bulls game
They didn't select Lively at 10 though.
From tanking to maybe being the nba Champs.
It payed off.
And now its zingas pingas & kyrie vs their former squads
Mavs picked Cason Wallace at 10 okc picked lively at 11 and they were traded for each othrr
Twolves with comeback of the century incoming
No that’s not happening and never has and never will be
They are the better team only reasons the mavs have made it this far is the refs rigging it for them@@jackmcglasson5161
Are you telling me the only reason the Bulls made it to the play-in is because the Mavericks tanked? Damn it
As a UNC fan it hurts to see Theo pinion slander
I didnt know the conference finals was best of 5 now
And Knicks fans are still mad about it (I’m a Knicks fan)
I apologize Mavs GM, I wasnt familiar with your game.
At the end of the day Dallas should have lost this pick. This has gambling implications, integrity of the game, and knowing a team intentionally has lost.
I believe they got the 12th pick not 10th
They drafted Cason wallace then trade him for lively
Jesus loves you
Didn’t they trade with the Thunder for Derrick Lively?
Nope, they drafted him
@@Hussein-Bdairthunder drafted him and traded for Cason Wallace, another rookie. It was kind of like the hawks and mavs trade for Luka and Trae respectively.
Mark Cuban wish he woulda kept his majority share of the mavs now
Why he still there?
@@saijinboihe’s still in the charge of players’ operations and the head office. Just doesn’t have a majority share no more.
technically they drafted cason wallace who they then traded for derrick lively but its whatever
You weren’t watching this game live 😂
The fine was worth it though.😂
Holy fuck
We also got fine but it was worth it lol
I won fantasy cause this game isthe other guy had Luka XD
I was at the game
That my bday
I was there on god
Anyone ever tell you that you look like a white jamal murray
They ain’t in the Finals yet
They cheated to get that pick. Got it
Whole lote of whos?
Well bottom feeders get to do it every year to make terrible draft picks every single time so at least they made a good pick
Um what is "Slovenia night"
Its like filipino heritage night
And the nba isn’t rigged???
They haven't made the finals yet 😅
No team has ever choked a 3-0 lead. Mavs are locked for finals
@@codg3484 the fuck yes they have lol
@@POPToppins name me one.
But they got no defense, just like the chiefs every team chokes against them somehow 😂
They should’ve lost their pick
So they did it on purpose and nith happened
They haven’t made the finals yet
No team has ever choked a 3-0 lead. Mavs are locked for finals
Mavs actually choose Cason Wallace at 10, then trade him to OKC who choose Lively at the twelfth spot.
Get it right!
They won't make the finals
The mavs didn't draft lively okc did
They ofc didn't land lively at 10. Pfffffffffff
Have some fucking decency and find the facts dude
Make your own channel and do it yourself virgin
On one had it's kinda crazy they intentionally missed the playin. On the other hand it would have been hilarious if someone leapfrogged them so they lose the pick anyway.
they drafted cason wallace and traded him for dereck lively II
Yall got til April the 7th to get yall shit together
Not yet in the finals but got your point...
