Holy shit he just keeps getting fatter :wow
Your team is dogshit and fighting with OKC to stay out of last place in the conference, sit down.
But also hopefully this is a good wakeup call for Luka that he can’t be like Jokic and play himself into shape, he’s dealing with a shitty owner and GM who put dogshit talent around him.
Dogshit? Last place?Quote:

The last couple previous seasons, D’Antoni did something I thought was pretty smart defensively with Harden... yes, I realize what I just wrote. But he’d have Harden switch a lot where at times he’d end up defending a big in the post, especially when Houston went really small. Smart because of a few things. Harden is strong enough to hold his ground against a lot of bigger guys in the league. Most big men in today’s league are incapable of scoring in the post with footwork and moves if they can’t just bully ball to the rim. And it kept Harden off of quicker guards and wings out on the perimeter, who could blow right by him and not only get easy lay-ups or dunks, but put Harden’s help defending teammates in foul trouble. And because Harden had to play off on the perimeter, that gave his man open threes whenever he wanted.
It’s something Jim Carey might want to consider. Don’t put Doncic on the worst perimeter player. Put him in a one man zone where he ends up defending the block against a big. He should be fine against most bigs there. He’s 6’8, 230+. Except against guys like Anthony Davis and Jokic, he should be able to hold his own on the block. At worst, stand his ground, hands straight up, and giving up an easy two is still better than and-one dunks and/or uncontested threes.
I think Luka is the least of all Mavs problems. In a game against Phoenix his outside shot was way off and he missed a couple of bunnies, but if he was only average with his shot (2/6 on threes) he would end up with like 40 points and a win. He was decent against the Lakers offensively. Needs to get in the bubble shape tho and do a better job on defense.
The problem is that Mavs supporting cast minus Porzinglass is beyond awful and stubborn Rick insists on playing small /soft lineups. They could snag that Achiuwa guy in the draft, he's what the Mavs need right now. THJ, DFS and Powell frontcourt won't gonna cut it against Bran, Davis and Harrell. Aswell as the obsession with small guards like Brunson, Burke, Barea, Yogi, Seth Curry, Tyrell Terry...
Powell, THJ and Brunson should be the next package leaving Dallas.
Powell and Brunson should definitely be dealt ASAP while stock is still high in them.
THJ I think should be kept though, hes a nice 3rd/4th option scorer, and when hes hot he can singlehandedly win games. thankfully rick also realized that he needs to be played alongside luka as much as possible to maximize his effectiveness, because luka dominates the ball and generally wont pass it to him unless its on cuts and spot up shots, preventing him from getting too out of control, which was his problem before being moved to the starting lineup.
THJ's stock is pretty high after last season imo, he sholud be re-signed only if there are no other options on the market. He's cool and still in his prime but not a two way player unfortunately.
Doncic, Porzingis, Richardson, Finney-Smith
Others should be available at the trade deadline and key 2021 offseason before Doncic's extension. However, even if the Mavs play their cards perfect, there would still be two major obstacles in their way to a potential championship, KP's health and Doncic's questionable work ethic.

Harden has put up crazy numbers while winning a lot of games. But Harden's fatness is also a representation of the fact that, despite his greatness, he doesn't have a dog mentality. Very hard to reach the mountaintop with a guy like that.Quote:

its weird to see how out of shape he is and only got worse at shooting threes. Everything else is still the same and now he also got that Dirk fadeaway and a good midrange shot.... Oh and so far he's one of the best defenders in the league, which is a big surprise.
:lol

plus, josh richardson sucks ass
'Looka' is where were at then intellectually huh? you seem like a really cool guy, i imagine that is the type of sentiment a lot of really interesting, intelligent men who are fundamentally happy and fulfilled in their lives find themselves expressing to strangers on the internetQuote:

What’s going to happen next, Luka will fire his agent and sign with Klutch sports. Which they will force his way out of big D as is such a move these days. Or else he will finish his career there playing for peanuts like Dirk and being a Mavs Maniac cheerleader

he doesnt get near the star treatment that most other stars get, but he definitely needs to tone down the whining, and especially the frequent slumping crap. its very annoying.Quote:

I don’t like the Luka’s body language either, but there’s only so many times you can handle manipulating the defense perfectly to leave a shooter wide open, then delivering pinpoint no-look passes to that corner, only for them to clank it off the rim 80% of the time. Of course he’s frustrated, his team completely sucks and the supposed #2 guy getting pad max money is the softest player I’ve ever seen.
And he sees how Cuban wasted the majority of Dirk’s career surrounding him with garbage, so if Luka’s smart he’ll get out of Dallas asap. I’d hate to see it, but wouldn’t blame Luka one bit.
If Cuban doesnt get him some players that can actually play basketball he will walk. He gives 0 fucks about Dallas and would be rather playing in Spain right now, than for the retards that gave Zingis Pingis a max and think Tim Hardaway is great. All the team needed was one or two shooters and a solid big, but this morons traded the only shooter they got and brought Josh fucking Richardson. So, yea he's pissed, only a loser wouldnt be. The guy has been winning trophies since he was 12, so good luck keeping him happy with the retards he has to play with. Oh and he should cry to the refs even more, as they are blind when it comes to him.
Oh and he should stop eating shitty food and stop taking stupid 3s. There's a lot i dont like about his play this year as well.
demar + lma + samanic for Luka
id do that
Cuban is not that stupid thoQuote:

If he wants to stay on the conservative side, then he should just swap Porzingis for a 1st rounder and good complimentary players before glass man breaks again, which we know is only weeks away based on his history. This guy is so overrated. Worst pick-n-roll defense in the NBA and a waste of a 7-3 frame. I'd honestly rather go to war with Donutcic and a bunch of set shooters than Zingus, tbqh.
Teams only do that for the Lakers. Its NBA law.Quote:

:lmao ol Marky Mark gonna see where coddling him gets him
I'm also a fan. I wouldn't say stop shooting 3s, but he should limit the step backs. He doesn't hit them at a rate of a Steph or even Harden and at times its a bad shot for them too. Ge should limit his 3s to open set 3s where his % is better. He still has a great mid range game especially just inside the FT line, floaters, can beat elite defenders off the dribble despite his lack of elite athleticism and can even post up smaller or sane size defenders. His vision is not quite lebron but is close especially in the half court.Quote:

IDK, in an AMA he told the WallStreetBets retards to still hold when Gamestop was like $140.Quote:

IDK, 14 other teams picked mostly trash ahead of Giannis so I can't single Dallas out here. I'd still be pissed about letting Chandler walk though, god that 2011 team was amazing and deserved to have been kept together another 2-3 years to see if they could ring again.Quote:
