    You can tell why mavericks traded this guy. When you need him most he is injured.
    They made a smart move and did what they needed to do in order to get Cooper Flagg, and
    got the pick as well. But you think Nico was really that bad of guy? made a smart move if you ask me.

    Nobody could convince me that Nico alone made that decision. He got fired for it, but will want for nothing the rest of his life for being the fall guy.

    If he did make that decision, then he's a dumbass surrounded by bigger dumbasses that he convinced to go along with his dumbassery. And they all got saved by dumbass luck in the lottery.

    Cooper might be better than Doncic in the long run especially if nobody could figure out how to keep Doncic healthy and if his style of play does not lead to a championship.

    GMs make good money, and getting fired was going to happen as soon as that deal went down.

    Whether it was owner choice or not to extend Luka, the way that trade went down, a GM should ask to be let go before hand.

    Luka should get drug tested before playing.

    PEDs isn't necessarily to make someone be stronger or jump higher, it's muscle and body recovery. Literally his goal right now with the playoffs.

    There’s no chance he returns healthy till late in the series, they’re going to constantly make up these rumors in order to keep viewers interested. There’s a lot of money at stake.

    People tend to check out if you write off the top 2 players on a team, rightfully so.

    That's why we need to punch first and take them out as quickly as possible.
    I really believe Amen is going to have a big series and is going to lead us to the 2nd round.
