People in Nico's position think theyre the smartest person in the room, no need to investigate this is what happens when you convince people this stuff is merit based
“Let’s act like it is” got me lol Your point about owners only caring about their pocket. True for every corporation and billionaire in America. They don’t give a fuck about us lol
1:26 I think of it as trading Queen's Freddie Mercury for the Beatles' Ringo Starr. It's not just a comparison of talent where Ringo is amazing in his own right, but Freddie in large part WAS the identity of Queen whilst also being a one of one type of talent.
"defense wins Championships"... TEAM defense win Championships, i can 100% assure you that if you got a MF averaging 80 points generated per game(either by scoring or assisting), and got 4 mfkers playing defense as hard as they can, you gon win 99% of games and thats why Luka got to the conference finals and got to the finals... and its the easier way to build a roster too... players Who don't got much talent other than grit n grind don't cost shi... matter of fact pj and GAF got traded to Dallas for chip n crumbs... Derrick Jones jr was a minimum contract player... lively was a 19 y/o rookie... and still got them to the finals cuz offence? leave that thing to the DON n ky...
Knicks getting KAT for a bag of potato chips and a bootleg DVD version of Austin Reaves is a poor man's version of the Luka trade. P benefiting from the same things he complaining about
“Rob is the worst friend of all time.” That line is fire. Because everyone knows, if a friend offered you that trade just in FANTASY BASKETBALL, the first thing you’d say is “Everything okay at home?” FRFR.
There have been a lot of stars who were lockdown defenders and competent to get 20 or 25. I think that archetypes value increases with teams like OKC and Houston and players like Amen. I do think a team’s best player can absolutely be subpar offensively but it would require an excellent facilitator and great role players.
In non-basketball terms, the Luka trade is a sweetheart deal. Defined as: an arrangement or agreement reached privately by two sides in an unofficial or illicit way.
There has been talk of insidious, malicious intention to isolate Luka months, potentially years before the trade, where the Mavericks made executive decisions to trade all of the people in Luka’s corner and surround him with yes-men before the trade. Just saying.
I agree with everything Pierre said , the smug look nico gave during the interview like he was some genius pissed me off . Even more now because AD injured
Not a Mavs fan but it pisses me off because this could happen to any of our favorite teams. These owners need to be held accountable. Makes me lose interest in the NBA
Whattrade had this kind of reaction? An owner Harry Frazee disliked a player named Babe Ruth and sold his contract to the Yankees on January 5, 1920 for $100,000. The reaction? “The price tag was unparalleled in sports history, the story was obsessively covered in the press, and every last detail was voraciously consumed by baseball fans nationwide. With the possible exception of the Louisiana Purchase, what other acquisition has reached the same level of long-term recognition in the American public’s conscience?” The curse of the Bambino was born.
As a Lakers fan I still can't believe that we got Shaq and I can't believe I never heard of Kobe until Charlotte traded him for Vlade Divac 😊😅 As a matter of fact how the heck did we get Magic Johnson over the Bulls because of a coin flip 🙄 😊
It's money man. They didnt want to pay him while they have these "reservations". But they can't outright say it was money, bc good luck signing anyone afterwards. And to be fair, they have hinted towards this multiple times, with each mention of the coming possible "disagreements" coming in the summer. This also would only make sense if they REALLY do highly value AD to the level where they thought they were walking away winners. Hard to believe, but i guess if i had a blank check to get a defensive center in the league (one that is actually possible to get, not jokic), id probably pick AD too.
The Nico “Seth” (he put the wrong Curry in the presentation from Nike to Steph) presentation is real. There are credible sources. That Lindsay guy that just left last year was the mind behind their killer trades last year from what i’ve read from NBA (not Dallas) insiders.
Yeah defense does win championships but that’s a focus for your supporting cast. Like he said most of the top players are offensively geared. You got guys known for being two way specialists like Giannis and AD but out of a pool of most of your actual stars they are mostly solid at defense but amazing on offense. They can hold their own on a possession defending a good player so they’re not defensive black holes but they’re gonna give 30,40, maybe even 50 in a big playoff game. When you need it. Luka was good at that. He could step ip his defense a bit in the playoffs but you weren’t gonna stop him from dropping 30 on you any night. Pair him with some shooters and versatile defenders and you have a championship team. AD is great because he is a phenomenal two way player. The only is 1.) his availability (considering he went off in his debut game and then immediately got injured 😅) which you need your stars almost totally healthy the deeper you go in the playoffs. So that they don’t come back halfway through the series down 2-1 and it’s too little too late no matter how hard they try. And 2.) he doesn’t give you Luka’s offensive talent. He can put up 30 also but not as reliably as Luka. The Mavs have a good squad. They didn’t need to trade Luka for a two way star. Your star was fine. You needed if anything at all to just deepen your bench with as many great role palyers you can get your hands on. Some plug and play interior or perimeter defensive specialist. Some guy who can’t score for real but will get you boards. That’s what you need to surround yourself with stars. Your stars are good just support them. There is FOR SURE more to this story because none of it makes any sense.
NBA wanted the trade to be made to save ratings and have enough influence to put the Dallas owners in a good position to get gambling to Texas. They been desperate trying t get gambling to Texas and been overruled time after time, financially the 100 million they save on Luka is only a drop in the water what they will make from casinos, they will just take the 100 million saved on Luka to invest on extra slot machines. Lakers giving off more assets and picks in the trade is also not good for the NBA if Luka to LA was the plan, clearly they want that franchise to thrive.
Yes there can be a best player that’s not THE guy to put the ball in the cup. There were at least 2. Bill Russel and Ben Wallace (debatably). But it’s rare.
AD was the only player in the nba last year that was all offense AND defense first team … mavs got 26 a game from AND and elite defense with AD … Boston was elite defensively and exposed the shit out of Luka … lol … I wish dudes that actually knew ball had these strong of opinions lol
Stern vetoed the cp3 to lakers trade because it was “ bad for the league , fans and the competitiveness “ but silver let this trade go through .. if this ain’t clear that the league chooses who they push then I must be a fucking turd
play to win the warriors are just that the losing of poole not getting a 2nd scoring star in the summer the team has to say f it throw it all in now for these 2/3 years and fans are like you could of saved wiggins, gotta build for the next time years like kumbucket is gonna kill the ock in 5 year
Ppl asking the NBA to investigate the trade lol why would a criminal initiate his own crime? 🤣 Adam silvers prolly made a deal with the team owners n shii
Look into Miriam Adelson’s relationship to Elon Musk and Trump. The last admin was a big 4 year run of his friends insider trading…. The Luka trade may be a play by someone with an unfair advantage in predicting the financial future of the League and the United States.
As a diehard Mavs fan, and Numbers On The Board viewer, Pierre said EVERYTHING I've been punching the air about. it's unfathomable how the Mavericks fumbled this.
It just shows that Nico is not a good GM....how the hell do you trade a Player who is good for the next 10 years for a Player who is good in the next 2-3 Years that has health issues
It won't happen, but the funniest possible outcome of this would be Luka not resigning with the Lakers and becoming a free agent. It won't happen, but damn it would be funny
I finally thought of something that was kind of close to this but not nearly as bad. This makes me think about when Jerry Krause decided that he was more important to the Chicago bulls than Michael Jordan or Scottie pippen and let them know that this would be the last time they would be together as a team. That dude is telling Michael Jordan that his services are no longer needed. Of course this isn't in Michael Jordan's prime but it's still when he was the best player in the NBA.
Everything you're saying is completely true. To do this to the Dallas Mavericks fan base should be completely illegal. This is like that trade when the league was running New Orleans and they vetoed the trade because they didn't think it was a fair trade. I think that involved Chris Paul. There should be some governing board that can look at an unfair or completely erratic trade and say no. This is acting above and beyond against your own team and therefore has to be vetoed. This is bad for the league unless you're one of those people that say the league's always doing better if the Lakers are doing better. Seriously messed up shit,

As a Lakers fan, I'm really happy we got Luka. But the way we got him? It doesn't make sense. 💀😂
Easily one of the stupidest sentiments in the NBA rn
“Luka ain’t dealing bricks… do he gotta weird case?” LOL
Hearing Pierre say “I got a thousand bars for Nico” less than 5 minutes into the full episode was so hype honestly
Might be p’s best rant
Then he come on the very next pod and give the Mavs a B+ on the trade like no way you got that much energy for sumn you gonna flip flop on that quick
He killing it on this nothing but net 😂😂😂
Nico Harrison was also apart of the botched presentation that lead to Nike losing Stephen Curry to Underarmor 😂
I’m pretty sure they said that in the video😅😂
He was also a part of Nike getting Kobe though?
Mike was at Nike so there was no doubt Kobe was going to NIKE. LOL

Best comparison to trading Luka Doncic is like trading Demetrious Johnson for Ben FREAKING Askren. Smh.

Your point about owners only caring about their pocket. True for every corporation and billionaire in America. They don’t give a fuck about us lol
It’s crazy when players get traded and come back the fans usually boo, I feel like mavs fans gon cheer hard asf for luka when he play in Dallas again

Legendary rant by P 😭😭
You had a beaver warrior, and some kid asks you if you wanna trade it for a blue eyes white dragon.
The only two comparions I can think of for the Luka trade are Wayne Gretzky to the LA Kings, and Babe Ruth to the Yankees
Dodgers got Mookie Betts for a bag of peanuts
all time performance from pierre
I think Max christie is an underrated part of the trade. I think he can be there solidified shooting guard for the future
my nigga pierre coming to the defense of doncic 😢he's gonna prove em right and win some rings I already know

Shit hurts the soul as a mavs fan
yall got me in trouble at school for laughing man i blame p
SHOUTOUT MIKE🤣
Yall right. The craziest part about the trade is that Nico didnt vocally shop Luka
Insane Mavs went from Luka Magic to Eye Poke 🤦♂️
In non-basketball terms, the Luka trade is a sweetheart deal. Defined as: an arrangement or agreement reached privately by two sides in an unofficial or illicit way.

Lemme look up words😂😂😂😂
TELL THEM AGAIN PIERRE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It doesn’t make SENSE. I’m a Mavs fan in Dallas and I still can’t process it. I’m sick of the NBA too.
12:00 the only player in NBA history whos even close is Bill Russell, and he still put up 20 and 20 😂😂😂😂
Not a Mavs fan but it pisses me off because this could happen to any of our favorite teams. These owners need to be held accountable. Makes me lose interest in the NBA
Bro I was fucking crying p is us when we found this shit out

D mills was on track to a good one low key... 50 cent out of g unit for mase out of bad boy
The worst part about this trade is that he's on the Lakers of all teams. The worst team possible
