Mavs fans - what do we want for our 10th pick? Should we trade Kyrie? Offseason talk

[Lebron23]

Draft the best stretch big that can actually play perimeter D as well.

Luko Doncic needs to learn how to play defense

[DMAVS41]

The true sad thing is this could’ve been the Mavs core for a decade had Luka set his ego aside and Mavs not trade away their depth for Kyrie.

Brunson
Dinwiddle | Hardaway Jr
Doncic
Finney-Smith
Porzingus

I'm not sure what Luka has to do with KP being incapable of staying on the court since his injury...and while I think Brunson left in part because of playing with Luka...he definitely would have stayed if Cuban had just paid the man his extension. At worst, we'd be sitting on Brunson with him having maybe the best contract in the league. Not giving Brunson what he wanted two years ago to chase cap space again was a huge blunder and set this team back years.

I also don't love having Widdie and Hardaway. Would have needed to move one of them.

The current roster doesn't have much. Luka/Green/Maxi/Bullock are the only guys on the roster I'd want to keep....yes, we have the 10th pick and some cap, but the Mavs should be pretty embarrassed this is the team they have currently in place heading into year 6 with Luka. Especially since we weren't good his first year.

He's entering his absolute prime/peak for the next 5 or so years and the current roster around him isn't close to what others have. Almost all of that is on the Mavs, not Luka. At least with Dirk he got one elite roster in 2003 right as he was entering the same stretch. Luka hasn't sniffed a team as good as the 03 Mavs were....and if he has to suffer with middling help his peak/prime in terms of title contention, something needs to change. When you get Dirk and then Luka...you have to do more to surround them with legit help.

Trading kyrie will surely benefit the mavs in the long run.

It’s been one bad move after another for these clowns, but I don’t think that line-up is a contender. PorzingAss is ass. Hardaway is a chucker who doesn’t defend and plays aggressively dumb basketball.

The Mavs are a prime example of the fundamental truth that a homeless guy on the street who talks to trash cans could do just as well as at Least half of the GMs in the NBA

not trading ayton to an in conference rival for a measly 10th pick...

luka needs rebounding bigs and shooting and defensive wings just like a young lebron


they dont need another 1-dimensional primary ballhandler like kyrie
