      @@halfstream1461that wasn’t really his fault tbh. The previous front office didn’t give Brunson a option on the last year of his contract. Literally every draft pick gets it, idk why we didn’t give Brunson one. That would of put him in restricted free agency and the Mavs get the chance to match any offer he would of gotten. He wouldn’t have been able to leave unless he played out the new contract or request a trade.

      "Kyrie looked amazing"
      Yeah but the Mavs didn't! They went from comfortably having a winning record without Kyrie on the team to a losing record with him! I don't even want to hear the excuses. The jarring contrast in the Mavs record before and after Kyrie says it all! They had one of the better records in the west before he arrived and then had one of the worst records in the entire league after.
      He's a terrible fit. He always was. Even with him playing very well on the offensive end, the team is simply worse with him than without him. He's a defensive liability, and having him in the starting lineup takes the ball away from Luka. I can see if he was a 6th man coming in for Luka to add an added attacking punch off the bench. But the team doesn't seem to work when they're both on the court. It's as simple as that. Kyrie is like Russel Westbrook. Skillful, flashy, can put up numbers....But he doesn't make his teams better or put them over the top. He's an individualist player. And just like Westbrook, his presence actually shackles the potential of his teams. It's happened in Boston, then Brooklyn, and now it's happening in Dallas. That's not a coincidence.

      Honestly their offense with just them 2 were top 3 in the league in offensive efficiency. The problem was rim protection and rebounding. An issue they had before the Kyrie trade but was masked because of DFS perimeter defensive skills. I say masked because their defense was still bad with their offense still being stagnant with DFS because Luka had to do everything on offensive as no other point guard could get their own shot up as a 3 level threat. You got that with Kyrie now just find the right perimeter defender and a vet center who can rebound then it helps level out this team. For them to be championship contenders its going to depend on Luka not bringing the ball up but calling for more low post opportunities. While also finding a center who can man the paint because Dwight Powell ain't it. So Dereck Lively development would have to be swift

    I saw McMahon on The Hoop Collective prior to signing and I thought he nailed it in that he commented (a) no real other market for Kyrie in terms of giving him leverage for a long contract ( b) but Mavericks had created their own leverage against themselves because it would be too embarrasing to lose him ( especially in the eyes of Luka) and if they had to give him enough of a term and money so he would not "sulk" claiming to have been "disrespected " . It does say something that he got less that Van Vliet and that many teams wanted Van Vliet. The Mavericks have now joined the list of teams that have decided to roll the dice on Kyrie being healthy , stable , and mature .Will it work out - Probably not but then again as Lloyd Christmas said " so there is a chance"

      @@perlasngsilanganan9659 Kyrie Irving fans are delusional. I believe they still think Irving is 24 years old and it's 2016, because they keep forgetting Dallas is the third team for which he's played since forcing his way out of Cleveland.
      You're right, because we already saw that an Irving-Luka Doncic pairing didn't work this past season. Dallas was the fourth seed in the Western Conference when it acquired Irving and proceeded to drop to 11th. And it's not just that Doncic and Irving don't complement each other -- Irving's dribble-heavy, shoot-first game is not conducive to teambuilding. And it's not just with Doncic -- we saw Irving play my turn, your turn with Kevin Durant and it didn't work. And let's mention Irving's final season in Boston, which was a team chemistry disaster.
      The only time it worked was when Irving played with arguably the greatest small forward in NBA history (LeBron James), who effectively was the point guard while Irving was more of a scoring guard. And even then, Irving chafed in the role because he wanted more attention.
