Legs funny for that unicorn line
"He is a unicorn he you rarely see him"
Im DONE
It’s a shame, I’m not mad at Spencer, but I truly though KP was way better then he turned out to be.
Kp is a better 3 point shooter than both of them lol. Both will be gone by next season
Now watch when Bradley Beal gets healthy that duo will be amazing
Its so crazy how much KP gets rode for his injury history when he has literally been available the same amount or more than Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Kawaih Leonard, Paul George, Danillo Galanari, Joel Embid, John Wall, Gordan Hayward, Kemba Walker, Kevin Love, Jamal Murray, Chris Paul, Marvin Bagley, Spencer Dinwiddie, Davis Bertans, the list literally goes on and on. Torn ACLs, MCLs, Achilles etc. are all a major part of the game these days. You would be shocked to look at the season ending injuries that have occurred over the last several years. KP works hard, he’s vaccinated, he’s “mentally healthy” and he just wants to win. Idk why he gets such a bad wrap or why people hate on this young man so much. A career 20 point a game scorer. Yes his contract is to high just like a ton of players in the league. The Mavs always babied him when he could have played and always made him sit on back to back. Perfect example they have kept him out for last two weeks due to bone bruise on knee and Mavs gm even said they were being over cautious and admitted if it was playoff time he would be starting no problem.
i knew it this is going to be happen and wishing KP the best at Washington wizard
Perc is trippin. Brunson should be a bench player
Hearing the praise for Bertrans, tells me no one has been watching wizard games lol
Dallas spending all money to kp while the camera is focus on luka thats why it traded to dc
You can tell no one there watches any Wizards games other than Perk. Guys calling Dinwiddie a dynamic scoring option???
Malika 2:11 using the mug to refrain from laughing as well 😂😂
Not a guy to run your offence through for 5-6min when Luka is off?
NY ran the offence through KP for 30min and got in playoff zone and KP was an all-star before that ACL.
Like he can totally do it. It’s all about the health/availability.
Legler one to talk, played a lot of full seasons
Say his name right. Davis. Not Davis . pronounced like Dah vis.
facepalm, mavs good bye. Tim is dumb as a stone
KP still one of the most talented players in the league, but he hasn’t been able to shake off that injury bug… So he basically cannot be your second option on a contending team. No one can go win a title in the NBA alone. Absolutely no one… And you need to have your guys ready to roll. Two seasons ago, Dallas had the Clippers on the ropes and KP got injured… Last year, KP was not used in the offense, I still don’t know or understand why it was so, but it got Carlisle fired…
Terrible trade. You don’t give up KP for that im sorry. His defense alone this season was so important for Dallas. If this is about salary than its still dumb.
Get Lauri Markkanen.
They’ve wasted the value of KP. They could have offered him to a better player like Gary Trent Jr. or Pascal Siakam. Christian Wood is a perfect partner for Luka as well just add other players and picks. Another 1st round exit for the Mavs.
He’s to injured prone, not his fault and not Mavs fault to do so
Having given it some thought….I think this can be really good. Without THJ the Mavs 2nd unit was looking kinda sus. But you allow Spencer to work against backups & take charge of the offense when Luka & Brunson are resting and now that 2nd unit offense has an identity. And it would be nice to see Bertan take advantage of some WIDE open looks.
And yes, I like the flexibility it gives the Mavs. This gives Dallas like 4-5 pretty nice contracts they can trade….or keep, it’s not like they’re trash players and could work well with Luka. But yeah, they can trade for that Star player (I’m kinda looking at Portland…surely Dame ain’t gonna be happy and if Portland is looking to rebuild, we got some expiring & friendly contracts). Or trade them to make room to sign a star player.
I’m also still hoping that Goran is interested in playing with Luka. Another combo guard who can handle the rock. Kinda want to see Goran & Spencer running that 2nd unit.
Luka & KP duo…
dream is over.
Mavs don’t have a chance until 2026 anyways because Suns, Warriors, Jazz, and Nuggets are too strong right now. Mavs 2022 are Spurs 1992.
LMAOOOO 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Nickname the unicorn cause we hardly ever see him……🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆
No hubo quimica con Luka
Who’s gonna play DEFENSE for Mavs is the question?
Even though KP didn’t work out in Dallas at least they tried to get Luka a Star running mate. If it worked they could of been great as a duo but KP is to injury prone. And they still have been able to win games because Luka is just a Superstar.
Dallas has not brought a decent reinforcement since they brought in Luka, KP was a great idea but which unfortunately never worked. KP was paid as a superstar and played as an average player (when he was playing at all, considering he misses half a season every year) all the other trades were disastrous, a bunch of leftovers that no one wanted! "Trading Curry for Richardson etc." When you watch this team the moment Luka leaves the field, all his efforts go to waste, because the rest of the team is not only unable to increase the lead, but is not able to maintain the result. Most of these players would sit on the bench in other teams, these players have no consistency,no real help for Luka or to lead the team while he is on the bench., and they get money/contracts at the expense of Luka. And at the end you have one-man team and bunch mediocre players with ~20M per season,If this continues,for how long will Luka stay there…
Tim is savage for this 😂
Luka so comfortable to shot 3s coz krisptaps is ready for the rebound.. im sure its big changes for luka for sure
It’s funny to see that these people get paid so much money to have no idea what they’re talking about
When they said they love it for the mavs I knew they had no idea what they were talking about
Kendrick Perkins couldn’t have been further off with his input it’s astounding
Long time mav fan…terrible trade…straight up terrible value for K.P.
I wanted nikola jokic and doncic to team up Geez that would be a beautiful thing to watch
I hope Spencer Dinwiddie proves you all wrong.
1m58s mark. Woman totally clueless here. No humour at all? That was pretty funny
When I watched Last couple Games Porzingis looked really good , right now Mavs No Chance to do Something in Playoffs
That unicorn line by Legs was so unexpected🤣😭😂
I’m not really impress of Luca ‘s game , he got the ball 80% of the time , all there plays are run through him, I really thought they gonna utilize porzingis size and let him post or run some pick and roll , but they just let him stand in the perimeter and wait for the ball, usage rate of luca is too much, they won’t win championship if he plays like that even with good players around him
If all men are the same for women, then why do they still choose?!
I love the Bertans pick up! Although the perfect big guy beside for me are Jokic or Vucevic, Bertans will do.
Tf is a Dinwiddie?
The Dallas FO is smart they’re maintaining flexibility for the big fa class in 2023! Remain flexible but staying competitive rn
Y’all saying he is fragile. He has played in 34 games this season. Luka has played in 41. KP has missed 6 games with Covid protocol. Now y’all tell me Doncic is injury prone. You don’t see that talk. Why don’t i see headlines – KD, Thompson or Kawhi are injury prone. All three have played in less games than KP the last three years. Media really paints the picture for casuals. SMH
Immagine being paid to be an Analist for ESPN and still belive that Davis Bertrans is still a good 3pt shooter
Richard Jefferson face is priceless 😳👀 😂🤣😅
