I’ve listed to every episode this season and I really appreciate how Kevin, Bobby, and Tim have been handling this. But the new guy is making this show hard to listen to. Especially during these harder times. The rest of the crew are so much more informed and in touch with the team and the fanbase, you guys have been here all season for us, the new guy obviously has not.
Is the Cowboys dude even a fan of the Mavs? Not sure how he doesn’t understand the magnitude of what the front office just did. They tore the heart out of the team. Let’s be honest, Luka is such a ball dominant player that so much of the Mavs experience over the past 7 years has been mostly watching Luka. That’s all gone now and is never coming back. There is no analogue in the other major sports.
He is frustrating the crap out of me. He does not understand at ALL. Less pressure now for Anthony Davis???? If AD does not play well here rightly or not Mavs fans will hate him
He knows nothing about basketball, this is a collab to promote his channel and to cover for Stein, but this guy won't shut up and his takes are ignorant and obnoxious af. Im rly hoping from next week on he doesnt show up anymore. Please bring basketball people to the pod, not more ignorants.
He thinks teams deserve unconditional support no matter what. The Mavs FO clearly don’t care about the fans, so what obligation do the fans have to the organization?
I always appreciate correspondents who lead with "I'm not going to tell you how to fan"... stands for fanatics; only reason he has a job. to use his words, pretty dumb on his end.
Anthony Davis doesn’t deserve to be booed, but he will be because Nico Harrison doesn’t get announced in the starting lineup. And he deserves a lot worse than some boos.
I love how fans and players are always the ones who have to think “rationale” and act “rationale” but it’s a different standard for people in the front office and owners. At this point I could give less of a fuck if people threw stuff onto the court because this level of disrespect can not be tolerated
Imagine trading LeBron James in 2008 under the circumstances the Mavs traded Luka and then telling fans to pretend like they should still fully support the team. Nico Harrison represents the MAVS, and he just pushed all fans to the side. I have been a Mavs fan for 29 years and I absolutely do not want them to win so long as Nico is in charge, fans booing the team is within their right to show their frustration with the team. AD can be mad at Nico Harrison for the short term fan reaction he will face.
Don't ever compare LeBron to Luka!! Your comparison is nonsensical, given the reason Luka was traded. LeBron was elite on defense and was NEVER out of shape!!! These are the reasons that Luka was traded!!!!
@ Luka has done things in his first 6 seasons that puts him in the upper echelon of star players in history. Use LeBron, use Dirk, use Steph Curry, use KD, whoever and it’s the same exact thing. Idc what you want to say about defense, he led to this team to a WCF with Dwight Powell starting at center and an NBA Finals at 25 years old. You don’t trade that guy, and especially for this BS package. He was so out of shape that he played 92 games last season and played the most minutes in the entire NBA. Get out of here.
@@briannoble1022Luka is better offensively than LeBron. LeBron much, much, better defender but the comparison is fair. And no I'm not a Mavs fan but Luka is a different animal with the ball in his hands especially at only 25. Sorry but it is what it is.
At the end of the day. They run the org. We are just fans and can't do anything about it. They don't have to consider our feelings at all. It's their right. But we also don't have to support or watch the team anymore. Money talks. And that's it
From a business perspective also! Who do they think brings the fans to the arena/tv? Im from Spain and I didn't care a bit for the Mavs before Luka arrived there.
@@DangerSepp from the League's perspective maybe yea but for the Mavs is a disaster from all angles, their market is smaller , they lost 900K Instagram subs in a single day for instance. They don't have a championship level team rn, and in 2-3 years at best the window is closed. To cap it all out, they have given Luka the ultimate reason to get in shape and bust their asses from now on. Edit: the only lifeline for Nico Harrison is that he knows that Luka's knees are busted and he can't play anymore. But if Luka comes back healthy and sharp, and the Lakers can put a competent roster aroud him... that guy is done for good, his only exit is to go work for the Lakers, like he did on this trade.
Mark Cuban deserves more blame for handing the keys to Nico and then walking away. He obviously would never have traded Luka, but he handed the franchise to a complete moron, walked away and this is what happened.
Tim Cato needed to report that Nico wasn’t here for the long term months ago. Even if you didn’t know Luka was going to be traded, that is a completely unacceptable mismatch of incentives between the organization and the executive. The best case scenario was Nico trading all the picks and young players for short term gains leaving Luka and nothing else for long term success in 2-3 years. The worst case scenario is what happened. Cato may have actually done real harm by sitting on that information.
It would be true love if DALLAS MAVERICKS team on game day walked out on the court against LA and then walked of to send a point to management and to show Luka we still want him need him and love him with everything we have and that Nico is a piece of you know what
The boycott of sponsors and stadium is a good root- hit them in the pocket until they fire Nico and Cuban comes back- try get Luka back in Summer 2026.
We need to get rid of Nico Dallas stand up and let make Nico run out of Dallas/Texas we won’t deal with none of them Vegas jokers all the big time handlers….. Texans are about Texas we hold true love and loyalty Nico is not for Texas not for Dallas
It’s all about AD. He is old, hurt, and simply isn’t as good asLuka. That is the reason people are upset. AD is not good enough, he is the issue. Boo all game long.
It’s not AD’s fault, but if Nico Harrison decides to hide this Saturday, then fans have no choice but to direct their boos somewhere. That’s going to be AD.
What else can one do. Its a business. AD is gonna go out there and do his job. Along with all the other players on the team. Can u Imagine if the players cried like the fans do
What ever you saying makes no sense the the visitor the guy with dreadlocks the way you get back and you shut down management is by shutting down on the team we care about the team we care about the people on the team we don’t care about the management
You have to start thinking it is the people above Nico and not Nico on his own. Could imagine the brass telling you that you have to trade Luka and take ethe fall for it.... I guess it comes with the job,
It better be this season, because Luka and the team are looking to challenge boston this season. Adjustments excuse is not valid because they did this to themselves.
Saying it's not ok to boo the new players is so weak. If they trash they trash. Plus booing them let's them know they and Nico are on notice immediately. Whatever the AAU and "culture" stans say because they are biased against euros ... AD compared to Luka is nothing. AD is NOT and never will be our guy and they need to know that. This is not the Dallas Mavs anymore. It's the Dallas Fakers. Nico already killed the Mavs. Why do I care if booing kills the Fakers?
Giving up 6 million should be talked about more, not since Dirk has a max player left money on the table for the betterment of the team. Especially if he was kept in the dark like Luka, that and his video make me think he’s relieved to leave LA and come to Dallas. I still hate Nico for what he did and will not spend any more money on tickets as long as he is around.
Lakers fan here. I understand you, Mavs fans, how you might feel losing your franchise player. However, I haven't heard any love for your new players. I mean, Anthony Davis is not " "Kwame Brown" AD was carrying the Lakers defensively and oh by the way his last game before the injury he dropped 40 points and 20 Rebs. Max Christie is also no scrub, he could be the most improved player this year. Max lucked Ja Morant, did a great job defending D Fox, and held Knicks J. Brunson to 17 points while shooting from 3 at a good percentage rate.
That's cool. No disrespect intended but AD ain't Luka. Not his fault, but it's reality. This is the worst trade in NBA history so you'll have to forgive us for not being sunshine and rainbows about our return when we're not even a week removed. And as a Lakers fan, I know this might be hard to believe, but this ain't about you and your team or your players. If you don't like it, go watch a Lakers podcast.
@tri-c5737 Yeah your right, it sounds to me like this is a depressing podcast. I will take your advice and stay at our Lakers podcast. Much better vive over there.
People have stated correctly, AD is great, but it’s not the same. What else do you need? It’s gonna take time for us to give a damn because we know how close we already were and that we had a 10 year window as we deserved for drafting and developing Luka. We went through the ups and downs and defended him until the end, especially after the finals and seeing f those same fucks now act like, Lukas not fat why did they say that”, it’s garbage. Yet I’m supposed to start drooling and bragging about AD? Yeah I would have if we traded Kyrie for him. Not Luka Don
For as long as Nico is the GM, i hope this team sucks ass. I hope we lose as many games as possible. Until he is thoroughly embarrased and ran out of the league for being the clown that he is
Not sure who you 4 dudes are and really don’t care. But you should be talking about how dirty the NBA and Adam Silver are. You dudes need to grow a pair and be asking for a legal investigation into this trade. The NBA is dirty.
Asking what is next for the Mavs is like asking what’s next for the Titanic after hitting that iceberg.

Yeah his takes make no sense
@@Juanathon He either makes no sense or states the obvious while chewing up an extensive time period doing it...
He's a Lakers fan I believe. He doesn't view things as a fan, he views it as a former player.
He is frustrating the crap out of me. He does not understand at ALL. Less pressure now for Anthony Davis???? If AD does not play well here rightly or not Mavs fans will hate him

Holley is a former player so he's looking at things from a business standpoint.
I been saying that i said it during a live show and they muted me😂
He doesnt know anything about basketball at all, period.
Yall gott get football dude off show. Tone deaf and adds nothing
How long did that guy talk about it not being AD's fault? He made the same point 20 times.
Bad business decision on the guys to bring this dude up. I hope for next collab they choose someone who knows anything ball.
Anthony Davis doesn’t deserve to be booed, but he will be because Nico Harrison doesn’t get announced in the starting lineup. And he deserves a lot worse than some boos.
Then be an LA fan and follow your boyfriend Luka! What a bunch of sissy fans in Dallas!!
Ngl - Jesse kinda sucks. His points are non-sensical and are just made to stir up the pot
Mannnn ... Luka looks SO SAD when he answered the question on whether he'd sign the supermax extension ...
I love how fans and players are always the ones who have to think “rationale” and act “rationale” but it’s a different standard for people in the front office and owners.

The Maverick FANS do not want Anthony Davis. The fans will reject him because they want no part of the trade.
Can we get left dude out of this podcast he is just so out of touch and annoying lol
nah keep him. i like hearing from a player’s perspective
He knows nothing about basketball but he won't shut up. You can see the other guys being annoyed too on his ignorance.
#77 Lakers jersey purchased... WEARING IT TO THE AAC! I hope Luka King comes back and drops 50 on us. 77 forever... no matter what colors he wearing.
Get the new guy off the show.
The Luka trade is inexplicable from a pure basketball-perspective. That is a fact.
From a business perspective also! Who do they think brings the fans to the arena/tv? Im from Spain and I didn't care a bit for the Mavs before Luka arrived there.

We need to get rid of Nico Dallas stand up and let make Nico run out of Dallas/Texas we won’t deal with none of them Vegas jokers all the big time handlers….. Texans are about Texas we hold true love and loyalty Nico is not for Texas not for Dallas
Jesse sounds the way he did when he got kicked off the cowboys post game show. Wish he was better.
Go Luka. Get Nico fired. Come home and bring us a wing. It was written
It’s all about AD. He is old, hurt, and simply isn’t as good asLuka. That is the reason people are upset. AD is not good enough, he is the issue. Boo all game long.
Let’s go Mavs!!!
I turned in my MFFL card but I'll still watch the pod.
do a longer show please like 7 hours it would be great
What was more telling is that he said i knew this was gonna happen someday
That opening 1000 yard stare
It’s not AD’s fault, but if Nico Harrison decides to hide this Saturday, then fans have no choice but to direct their boos somewhere. That’s going to be AD.
Why is this guy thinking Mavs fans are going to boo AD??? Nobody is booing him, the vitriol is coming for Nico.
@DLLS Sports/ KG, The comments on this sub need to be shut off until things die down.

There most definitely is an expectation to win a championship in Dallas now. WE TRADE LUKA FUCKING DONCIC FOR YOU. He better win one.
