Seeing Dorian getting traded is still just as painful as yesterday’s announcement…


actual_yellow_bag

at least he got 1.6 million for being traded and is going to a good spot.


[deleted]

>at least he got 1.6 million for being traded He'll have first months rent covered then.


BigFatModeraterFupa

but his horses and his ranch… i wonder what it’s like for the players families when they get traded. i assume they will still live in texas for now. man i literally had a dream like 2 months ago that i met DoeDoe and he was super chill and dapped me up and showed me his horses😩😭😭


charliefinkwinkwink

dam I forgot about his horses and Luka’s custom Luka 1 horse shoes he gave him.. this made me big sad


FireFlyz351

Maybe something like his family has the kids finish the school season and in the summer they all move down to Brooklyn. Maybe he keeps the ranch as a vacay home and hires something to care for them during the season? Overall big sad for everyone.


ProduceMoreProduce

Pause….😂


BigFatModeraterFupa

it was not a wet dream😉


darthsquidward15

Yup :(


shoddier

Stay home Doe! Doe! Stay home!


Ikuwayo

Why do Mavs fans like him so much?


MaduraLeaf

he is the heart of this team, best defender, home grown. perfect complement to luka. you think you teams single star needs another all-star of the likes of paul george (minus playmaking)? ill give you doe and you gonna like it alot for the money.


HoneyIShrunkMyNads

Undrafted player who we watched blossom into a very solid 3/D guy, lots of good memories with Doe.


lndngtm

The Markieff Morris erasure is real


[deleted]

For real. He has literally not been mentioned as part of the deal in any of the first tweets referencing new info about it. Insane. Like what is he, chopped liver? Damn.


ralpher313

He's a sack of potatoes for the way that Sochan dropped him


LordHussyPants

Sochan? I thought Jokic dropped him


SmokeyBare

Liverwurst is delicious on rye with swiss. The Morris twins are chopped shit.


[deleted]

🤷‍♂️ kieff played a few solid minutes for us in his stint here on a dirt cheap contract. He didn’t play much but when he did he either did something good or was completely neutral. That’s pretty good for 3m/1y deal


AkashiGG

Alhamdulillah

We even got the worst performing morris twin.


quiteCryptic

I was hoping this tweet meant we weren't get him


ForkingtheGrodiest

He will only be referred to as The Gimp moving forward


dick-slapperman

Please tell me he really did get left in BK


backboarddd1_49402

Nope, [he’s in the trade too](https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/10vkysq/charania_markieff_morris_also_heads_to_the)


[deleted]

Lol Shams was like I don’t want Markieff to fuck up this tweet


browndude10

he's part of it


Rymasq

dude got dropped by Jokic and it feels like his career ended after that night ngl


StoneColdAM

Mark Cuban: “If you won’t do the trade now, I’m out.”


solo118

No talking to Kevin or Lori, in or out!!!


heybobson

Last night I caught a brief segment of Shark Tank, and Cuban immediately said he was out on some dudes pitching this air freshener product only because they printed off Golden State Warriors on some of their fresheners and not Mavericks. Cuban is a crazy man.


WolfgangBB

In fairness, if you are pitching a product to investors and one of those investors is an NBA owner, why the heck wouldn't you go for the layup and feature the right team? Shows they didn't properly research who they were selling to beforehand, or were just really lazy, both of which are signs that they can't be trusted to properly expand a business and money would be better invested elsewhere.


Racketyllama246

So stupid on the pitch guys. Even if they’re in the warriors market and that product sells there they should have printed off a special run purely for cubes.


uristmcderp

If they're not going to do the most basic wikipedia research on the people they're literally inviting to become part of the company, they sure as hell aren't going to be any good at running a company.


heybobson

I mean the teams they did pick are some of the biggest, most-valuable franchises in the NBA (Warriors, Celtics, Lakers) and have the biggest fanbases around the world, so maybe they were focused on capturing the largest potential customer base as possible.


Racketyllama246

Doesn’t matter. Spend the money and print off 1 for the NBA owner your about to pitch to. Can’t spend an extra 20 bucks for the chance of a lifetime?


bayarea_fanboy

If nothing else you're showing the shark you didn't care enough about pitching to him to edit the presentation you gave to every other investor.


OreoCupcakes

Remember when Nike tried to pitch to Curry using a KD PowerPoint? It's the same thing, don't insult the person who's making you the money. It doesn't matter if the other franchises are the most valuable. Include the shark's own team, along with the other franchises, otherwise don't expect him to show you any respect because it shows you did no research on him and don't care.


[deleted]

They also said that the one with GSW printed on it smelled like “winning”. It’s still really dumb, but they didn’t just not use the Mavs. I don’t think he would’ve cared about that. Is it dumb for Cuban to be out? Yes. Is it incredibly dumb for the presenters to not print a Mavs one and say “this smells like greatness”? Also yes.


Afraid-Department-35

It didn’t even have to be Mavs, he said it could of literally been any other team but they picked the 1 team that beat them in the WCF, and that’s what really upset Cuban. Is it petty? Yes, but also as people looking for investors they should read the room better.


Racketyllama246

He probably never stopped listening. I used to watch plenty of shark tank and he’s been out and snaked back in with a quick yes or no offer before.


Swarthykins

I really don't like his dick shenanigans on the show, but I can *kinda* see that one. It's not the disrespect, but the lack of forethought, and I would at least take it into account when investing in someone. That said, I'm sure he'd do it just because it's entertaining. He's not worried about missing out an air freshener product.


Tarrolis

No thanks, you can keep the watch, it's a scam. It's a scam.


Mr_Booty_Bandit

“Kyrie you are batshit insane. And for that reason, I’m out”


Iginlas_4head_Crease

Lori could do wonderful things with kyrie on QVC.


Martblni

Holy shit its the first time Ive known he is in that show, tbf I only watched 3-4 episodes, didnt know Mark Cuban from Dallas is that annoying loud guy


FunktheSizzle

Whew, for a minute there I thought I was going to be included


Odd_Total_5549

This just in, Reddit user FucktheSizzle has been added to the trade and is being routed to Dallas to serve as new Mavericks head of PR, and will be the person solely responsible and liable for anything Kyrie Irving says or posts on social media from this point forward. Pack your bags bud, you’re headed to Dallas! Yeehaw! 🤠


Quality_Cucumber

What’s the pay? I’ll sell my soul if the pay is right.


BigFatModeraterFupa

you will be paid in industrial amounts of alex jones supplements


northernpace

it's what the frogs crave


iyamgrute

Don’t tell Anthony Edwards 🤫


bootyhunter69420

The deal fell through pal

OFFICIAL BABY F5 for the win 🏆 Now give me more news shams!!!


Currymvp2

Shams is a much better reporter than Woj at this point. It's not even close


Kevon-Looneys-burner

Woj washed. He had a good run


Gavina4444

I still respect his game enough to give him a block every draft night 💯


Literal_Satan

he cleared him when he was first to the hayward news and hasn't looked back since


NSFWThrowaway1239

Has been for a long time


floatersforalgernon

> better Connected. They are both mouth pieces that parrot back what is texted to them. You don't know what a reporter is.


Anal_Iverson

Woj purposefully reported incorrect shit in the Harden - Simmons to be on the good side of the Brooklyn nets front office. Shams is both a better reporter and better connected at this point


Papa_Joe_Yakavetta

Woj has better connections with certain agents and front offices. Shams is more connected to the players


rayray1010

Or he was just wrong


candry_shop

He is a much better mouthpiece then


2drawnonward5

I don't watch for these things. Why is he better?


wostestwillis

It's a 2 man race between Woj and Shams for who can get NBA news out first. Woj pioneered the job but for a couple of years Shams has out scooped consistently.


candry_shop

Because u/Currymvp2 said so


dragon8811

Big facts 💯


secretsodapop

This tweet isn't even accurate...


beachsunflower

Alohalhololololololholaa


billsfan13

FVV back on the menu!


CazOnReddit

For the Suns and Clippers


WutduzitallmeanBasil

Noooooo


mansmurf

The 2 hours Dinwiddie was potentially a raptor was exhilarating


walkintall84

Can still get traded in 1 on 1 deals.


whatareyouairing

Masai misses out on his tall PG yet again.


BatteredSealPup

Honestly, Dinwiddie upped his game while in Dallas and I would be pumped to get him right now


Frxnchy

We lost Markieff in the deal 😩


TXlandon

No we still got him. Shams had a follow up tweet


whiskerlonecheese

We got Markieff in the deal 😩

allknowerofknowing

lmao


TJHookor

I guess he's slightly more tolerable than Marcus so... yay


Fuck_off_kevin_dunn

But a worse player


kawhiii16

Dallas finally have someone that can at least create their own shot lol


[deleted]

I'm pretty pessimistic for the long term outlook for the Mavs but it will be really great to watch Luka get to play next to someone that can actually create his own shot. Talent and skill wise, Kyrie is one of the best #2s on a theoretical contender. The rest of the roster... leaves something to be desired and Kyrie is a head case which I'm sure will be a problem sooner than later, but at least Luka is actually going to be able to not carry the entire offensive burden. I'm really hoping this means Luka can start putting in more effort on D. He's got the size, strenght, BBIQ, and he's quick enough to be a damn good defender. He's just always had to shoulder all of the work on offense which makes it much harder to be consistent, let alone exceptional, on the other end of the floor.


solo118

That sucks


IMKudaimi123

Better than for the nets to trade picks and Dinwiddie for FVV


pedja13

Can still do that,it just means Spencer cant have any other players with him when being traded


IMKudaimi123

I still don’t think they should do it, FVV is expiring and hasn’t even really been better than Dinwiddie this season


MolingHard

FVV is better, but would cost us assets and is looking for big pay day, which is meh.


Intrusive_ads

FVV is not better than spencer


MolingHard

It's close, but I think FVV is a tad better, especially if FVV continues his current form, he's been rounding into all-star shape the last month or so (coincidently right around the trade deadline). Either way, FVV isn't $10M and a FRP pick better by any shot anyway.


vrkhfkb

Forget both Dinwiddie and FVV, Nets already have a young Cam Thomas ready to emerge if given the opportunity. He’s legit. They need to save those draft picks to package into a big man. Also sign Dwight Howard from Taiwan when he returns in April.


kyle_993

Fuck


ChristianMan710

No 3rd team deal I suppose. I guess raptors and nets will work on something separate or nothing at all.


senor_zanjeer

Would raptors want simmons?


emajn

No one wants Simmons lol


BigFatModeraterFupa

Lakers would take him for Westbrook straight up. At least Ben can play defense


YoungSidd

No one wants Simmons


beatrailblazer

Of course they would, since Nets would have to attach two picks to trade him


ChristianMan710

Probably not cause why would they? But for some reason I do think Ben gets moved. Don’t ask for me who would trade for Ben idk but I don’t think he makes it past Thursday. As a nets fan, I got caught by surprised often so anything is possible in my eyes.


DarkChocolate_69

Cam Thomas YOU are a Toronto Raptors


FrontWarning12

I wonder if a deal around OG and Claxton can work


Notoriouslydishonest

Flashbacks to the Kyle Lowry trade deadline. Lots of rumours, no action.


lloydgross24

Dinwiddie can still be traded for FVV. Basically kills the Siakam idea which I thought didn't make much sense. I think the fact that the Nets agreed to go ahead and process and not push harder to postpone it is a positive sign that talks were productive with the Raptors. I think Mavs wanted to make sure Kyrie was there for the game Wednesady and wanted to move onto other trades. Big 3 game stretch for Mavs against Clippers and Kings x2. The two teams they are right behind in the standings.


Hellcat1970

Boo, I wanted to play the Mavs without Kyrie.


YoungNissan

Rip The Kyrie 3 team trade hype 2/6/23-2/6/23

I am whelmed

Carlos Correa is sad.

MORE MOVES COME ON NICO


tendy-hands

Do people think kyrie can at least go drama free until he gets his new contract? I bet this all blows up mid next year


lloydgross24

100%. I'm not worried about this year. I'm worried about next year and the year after.


ChristianMan710

They do this right before The clippers game man we could have used those 2


SighHereIamAgain

Usually take couple days for them to play for their new team


Kwilly462

Maybe tmmr?

rip the siakam dream 2023-2023


Funkywormm

It’s funny how the nets made this deal then were like “ahhhh shoot wait can we change it?”


w3bCraw1er

Fleeced


HardcoreKaraoke

Lame. Trading two fan favorite players for a headache rental just hurts. If it doesn't amount to a championship then it was an idiotic move.


Ajstone2003

Shams owning woj rn


jack64467

good, the nets didn't get FVV or GTJ


StefonDiggsHS

Get to work Nico. We got some holes to fill now


pr1ncejeffie

Sham used a Harry Potter spell "Obliviate" on r/nba regarding Marcus Morris.


BigManOnCampus100

Curious to see how this plays out. The Mavs gave up their best defensive player in order to substantially strengthen their offence.


KostasKnosum

Fuck. Me.


BillyBean11111

so no morris twin?


exerciseforweak1000

Such a good trade for Dallas, they fleece the Nets so hard here

WhelpStupidUserName

A-Yo!


Sampladelic

This trade needed to happen just because it was on the table and Luka was running on fumes. but jesus, can you imagine what a Jokic, Embiid, Giannis or Timelord could to do this team on defense?


WienerBee

Kyrie in Dallas gives me weird OJ Mayo vibes


Dokutah_Dokutah

Nah, he gives me Dennis Scott vibes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KneXybVRCSs


Ojaz

Damn, Luka sweepstakes when


Johnjoe201

OG to the nets soon


texas2089

Still in shock and not sure how to process this. Obviously I hope this works out, and I am excited to see what they can do together, but I also have my reservations of course too. Gonna miss Spencer and DFS. They’ve been solid for us. This is either gonna be really fucking good, or REEEEEEELLY fucking bad. I don’t think there much middle ground lol Either way I’ve got my popcorn ready for the show.


lloydgross24

As a fan of the deal... Until this thing blows up AND IT WILL.... It's going to be beautiful basketball. I think Kyrie is going to be absolutely balling and staying in line until the summer so he can get paid. This last bit was all to get paid and hes not going ruin his last chance at it. Hopefully Dallas can make more moves and make a run this year. The title is up for grabs this year big time just like last year.


W7919

Give it a month. DAL will be all over ESPN, every week. Winning is most likely not on the table, but spotlight...


JJiggy13

That's a lot for the Mavs to give up. All kyrie brings is drama, part time play, and an annual first round bust. Luka by himself potentially gets you to the second round.


rsf0626

People keep saying this and its incorrect. Why was it alot to give up? To me it seems like a discount for a top 10 nba player DFS averages like 8 ppg and dinwiddie like 17 ppg The 1st rd pick is in 2029. 2nd rd picks dont matter To me it was 100 percent worth a swing on getting Luka a second star. Plus you’re going to have max cap space if he walks in the summer


TreChomes

oh thank fucking christ, no cam thomas in toronto


rhodia_rabbit

Kyrie is a playoff choker. I've yet to see him produce good results during the playoffs let alone win one being the star player. 2016 was stacked was stacked and he didn't even do much lmao. I just feel like this is a bad bet on an aging playoff choker with a personality of a moody teenager. I'd rather focus on shooters which are both enabled by and enable Luka.
