Manifest Destiny: Claiming the West Starts with Taming the Wolves! Official Mavs (#5) vs. Timberwolves (#3) WCF Thread

[93 til]

He didn't say that. Kuz wanted to go somewhere he still got his touches he knew that wasn't going to happen in Dallas

“There was a point in time, Dallas, they definitely did want me,” Kuzma told The Athletic on Monday, before the Wizards played the Mavericks at American Airlines Center. “Winger presented me with what the trade was and obviously didn’t want to trade me and kind of left the decision up to me a little bit and asked me what I wanted to do. I told him I wanted to stay and continue to build something. And that was kind of the end of it.”

Kuzma, who won a championship with the Los Angeles Lakers, described the NBA as having only "three or four" true title contenders, insinuating the Mavs are not among that shortlist of teams.

“In my career, I won a championship. So, I understand that when we play this game of basketball it’s not about contending for a playoff spot. It’s about contending for an NBA championship," Kuzma told The Athletic. "There’s only like three or four contenders — true contenders. I just felt like our timelines didn’t line up.”

KAT Ant need him to put up 30 something like Kyrie and he out here going 0-8

He didnt even need to put up 30 something points. Scoring in the 20s would have been enough

 

[YourMajesty]

Shaq, Chuck, Dray came with straight facts

 

[Geechiedan214]

Get it back to him and try again. I don't want Conley driving to the hoop or KAT doing some bullshyt.

Edwards is their present and future. Let him try and fail if that's what happens. He needs this experience for the future as well.

Boston has 4 legit defenders they can throw at both luka and kyrie.
Dallas is going have trouble defending that celtic 3pt attack.

Im lutting luka in pick and rolls everytime down the floor

Who are those 4 legit defenders??

 

[TDUBB]

After watching his post game presser don't ever compare ant to NJ again. This nikka is smiling and shyt.

We are still seeing late 80s Jordan. The 90s Jordan ain’t there yet.

 

[ItzDaKiing]

Luka is a neutron bomb…

He just scores & scores & scores

People gave The Clippers shyt about Luka’s scoring as if anyone could do better lol

Man this guy is unbelievable

It’s even more crazy when you realize he’s playing hurt even though it may not look like it. Luka gonna be an ATG.

 

[Geechiedan214]

Rangers World Series (not sure if Dallas claims them or not)
Mavs finals
Stars possible finals

Where you at Jerry?

Shid we claim the Cowboys and neither play in Dallas ..stadiums are in walking distance from the other...we repping Texas Rangers for shyt sure

[Jplaya2023]

Haha Draymon calling Kat for lying about his shot attempts a day. Ernie like "Nikka I know what Cap means."

 

[semicko82]

Wolves might be in trouble if they don’t start playing better basketball

 

[NormanConnors]

Breh should win executive of the year

There was spite and shenanigans involved with that Nets/Mavs trade . Breh got lucky as hell.

 

[duncanthetall]

Wolves need this game if they get swept @duncanthetall might fall into depresssion after all the yapping he was doing after game 1.

I love the Timberwolves but nah nikka. This team making it this far is a blessing plus my life is better than it’s ever been rn. If you wanna see me depressed, holler at me this fall round week 7 after Burrow’s annual season ending injury
