If so Dallas has blown up the current roster for no reason at all... But knowing a bit what kind of strange guy Irving is what you say is not unlikely at all.
I read at least one article (from the Fort Worth Star) basically saying that. That it will not work and the Mavs will regret this move.
I don't know if they let Jalen Brunson go or he left because he wanted, but that was the way to go. He is playing good ball for the Knicks and had a good chemistry with Luka. So maybe they have made two moves that will not pay off.

And THIS time, I say this record stands. He will add (at least) a good 2,000 more points to it (two more seasons, at least) and to break that it will take somebody coming into the league at 18, score like a maniac, and play until 44.
In other words, somebody exactly like him.

Westbrook is leaving Lakers and going to the Jazz in a three team trade. Just heard that he and Ham got into an argument at halftime. With him being gone, Lakers will somehow make it to a top 6 seed, IMO. Lakers getting Russell, who drafted him, from Timberwolves.

Westbrook, if I'm remembering his stats correctly, was the most consistent player on that team. So now they've got no one to blame if they don't find their way into the playoffs. They couldn't even win last night after Lebron set the scoring record.

Danny Verde joins Kawhi again. They have had a lot of success, and are a very good defensive pair. :thumbsup:

I read at least one article (from the Fort Worth Star) basically saying that. That it will not work and the Mavs will regret this move.
I don't know if they let Jalen Brunson go or he left because he wanted, but that was the way to go. He is playing good ball for the Knicks and had a good chemistry with Luka. So maybe they have made two moves that will not pay off.

Jalen was likely gone regardless of what the Mavs offered, he wanted to be in NY. The problem is that Mavs were dumb enough to think Luka didn't need him and were shown differently from the start of this season. They could've been in on a Jalen replacement once he signed with the Knicks and they weren't, that's the issue. So this is a panic trade that is a 4-month rental and nothing else. Kyrie is under zero obligation to sign with them this summer. Mavs are hoping that the GM and coach, both of who he has an existing relationship with, are going to be able to convince him to sign with the team long term with in a place he likely wouldn't have considered if they weren't there. But many think the Lakers will land Kyrie in the off-season. Some of that is wishful thinking by delusional Laker fans, but there are actual insiders reporting that as a likelihood as well.

The rental aspect is suspect, but the Mavs weren't winning a damn thing with the current roster, so blowing it up is just whatever. It's more, you should make sure you're getting something in return when you blow it up. Mavs got something for sure, but enough to be a contender for this year and this year only since you're not promised anything else? It didn't seem likely at the time and seems decidedly less so today.

Luka and Kyrie are unlikely to work because Luka is the biggest ball hog in the league. Luka's got 4 or so months to adjust and we'll see if it's enough to convince Kyrie to stay. And that's 4 months assuming Kyrie stays healthy, which is assuming a lot.

They were saying that last night. Dallas averages only 22 assists a game. And Luke gets 9 of those. So, yes, he has glue on his hand, once he gets the ball.

Whoever survives the West playoffs will have nothing to face the Celtics. They'll be running on fumes.

And he is in the same team as Metcalf? Because I know Pujols is another physical monster, but these teams are very uneven.
(Ok, they have Hassan Minhaj, but who can stop Metcalf from scoring?)
