Can we talk about how the Atlanta Hawks finessed the fukk out the Mavs, all over a Euro?

[Hammer]

not at all. Hawks are fukking retarded and laughably chose Young over Doncic, Jackson, Bamba, etc

there only nba players are schroder young and collins

lol at having 2 point guards as ur best players

 

[DONCIC]

Hawks could speed up their rebuild by using the pick next year, especially when it's likely the Mavs will be getting better and better, making the pick less valuable as times goes on

I'm pretty certain they'll use it in 2019

 

[Frump]

From what I understand the Hawks don't have to take the pick next year if they don't want.

I’ve never heard of that before.

I thought if it’s 1-5 Mavs keep the pick if not it goes to Atlanta

The Mavs were statistically one of the unluckiest teams ever in close games last season, and if everything went normally in those games, they would have had 32-33 wins. Plus the Mavs are done tanking and will be trying to win next season and next year's draft is said to be much weaker. The pick might not even be top 10

Doncic isn't just some ordinary hyped Euro who played some minutes for a big team, he was MVP of the entire league. What he has done at his age is unprecedented

If they were tanking, then how could they be unlucky in close games?

CAC gona be a bust

The players weren't tanking though, a lot of those games were close to going either way

 

[Wargames]

It was a finesse by ATL but until we see how Trae and Doncic play it's hard to say how much. However, right now ATL definitely has more potential for this to be a come up than the Mavs

Better how? Only youngsters they got is dennis and luka. No more lottery talent for a while. Overspending in free agency for aging vets is not going to have talk competing in the west. Phx and lakers have a brighter future and they arent even playoff teams yet.

 

[FaTaL]

You can call it finessed. I don’t care. The Mavs got a player far better than trey young imo. And who is to say the Mavs will be a lottery team all five of those years?

Both players are seriously flawed

The mavs player just looks so slow against euro competition

That's what I'm thinking


It's not a given that next year's draft will be weak. It's a whole year from now we don't know what players might rise out of no where. Trae Young wasn't on the radar this time last year.

 

[FaTaL]

Ricky Rubio 2.0

Naw Rubio is a good athlete, he just couldn’t shoot until this year

Mavs prolly goin throw a max tender at capela

 

[Poitier]

Next years draft doesn't have much depth and the Mavs are unlikely to be a high lotto team going forward.

WRONG dumbass. If you don’t watch my squad stay the fukk outta this thread.

Taurean Prince was our best player last year and he has been improving each year he’s been in the league. He’ll be one of the top 10 SFs soon

 

[Poitier]

He's not that good. I just dont see it. Its hard for me to say he will be better than Dragic. He will likely be a better version of Turkoglu but I like everyone else in the top 9 picks over him.

This makes no sense. You just contradicted yourself multiple times
