Dennis Smith is terrible, this was just a deal to open up 2 max contracts this offseason for NYK to pursue KD.
U mean nobody wants out future all star poodle or injured murray or lw4 whos played like 3 games!?

Mavs paid a lot. We're talking about five firsts worth, and that's valuing Smith as a regular pick. It's not that it's a bad price to pay or anything. But folks thinking the Spurs could have matched it aren't really looking at the trade correctly. No way could the Spurs have made the same deal. The Knicks are taking a decent gamble that they can make something of their space, but even if they don't, they have a lot of rebuilding potential now.
Knicks are so damn stupid
Luka & Porzingis is the 1-2 star pairing that's going to have the Mavs in the playoffs every year
Giving up KP for a salary dump of a player they shouldn't have signed while getting a point guard they passed on & that the Mavs were trying to dump anyway?
So awful
Crazy, really wish spurs could have got him
just wait till the lakers get davis for zo and ingram
Spurs obviously didn't have the centerpiece needed to pull off a trade of this magnitude. Walker might become the sort of go-to scorer that could become that in time, but he's too much of an unknown at this point and his draft pedigree isn't as strong as Smith's.
If the Knicks can't re-route Matthews via trade and he gets bought out, I could see him ending up a Spur. He's good friends with Aldridge and we all know about the need on the wing. Sure, he's past his prime and not a big wing, but he's bulky enough to guard some of them.
Their plan is pretty obvious to me. Giannis hits free agency the same time Hardaway's contract expires, KP close friends with Giannis, you can figure out the rest. Their gamble is KP staying healthy and they don't have a problem to wait for him for as long as it takes to be 100%.
He probably told them he was going to sign the QO next summer, and walk the summer after.
Let me be clear: I have no issues with players wanting to move. What I have an issue with is the collusion, mainly by Magic Johnson and/or Rich Paul to move his clients around to get them together. I think Super Teams are bad. I don't have a problem with a player saying "I want to be traded". I DO have a problem with a player saying "I want to be traded, but will only re-sign with ___________".
Mavs just became my second favorite team tbh. Top two Euros in the world tbh.....
Mavs are gonna be destroying the Spurs for years to come.
They've had more talented teams before and still got smoked. I'll need to see that before I believe it.
The Mavs could try and make a playoff push but if they don't get in they could even wind up with Zion maybe.
Got to give Cuban tons of credit, have an off year and come back stronger.
My guess is that the spurs didn’t have enough expiring contracts to get the deal done. It’s pretty brilliant on the part of the knicks though. Trade away bad contracts plus a broken down KP, take back expiring money plus a young player on a rookie contract, have the potential to land number 1 overall in the draft and entice the pelicans with a high draft pick plus add Kanter and filler for Davis and bring Durant over in the summer. This is what I would guess their mindset is
If kp gets healthy youll b seeing alot of it
This makes no sense to me. The Knicks have three young PGs fighting it out and now they've added a 4th who shoots low percentages and doesn't play defense. It's rough to see any team go into to full tank/rebuilding mode, but it's especially sad to see a team that has already been terrible for 5 years do it.
Yeah but the Mavs could miss the playoffs to and also be in play for Zion.
It seems like the Knicks will go all in and try and sign Durant and Irving.
Y'Know, I love Dejounte, but if you can get a young franchise center, who can play the modern game, you do it.
Porzingis will leave after next season to go suck on late-thirties LeBron.
Maybe that explains his instagram post the other day when he was thanking the spurs? He heard about the trade talk?
The Knicks are the dumbest ing team ever. ing hate that Dallas has basically finished their rebuild already and Dirk is still on that roster. They're not favorites or anything but that trade will make them a playoff team in the future easily.
He was thanking the spurs for taking a chance on him when no other team did.we were not getting kp
I’d put Jokic ahead of Porzingis tbh, and nobody knows what’s he like after the injury. Still Murray, Walker, White, Metu and Poeltl is not bad tbh.
So now KP wants to sign the qualifying offer with Dallas which means he doesn't want to commit to them long term. WTF is going on?
What? Where?
