Figured we should have a dedicated place to watch all of Flagg's highlights. 

Starting off with a banger here:

Here you go, RTG! 

Opine away!

There is fear that Damian Lillard has torn his Achilles

I think Luka is the 500 pound gorilla. What does he do? Whatever he wants. His stature makes him hard to coach, hard to discipline, hard to be the boss of. You want that 500 pound gorilla on your side. You may not know how to deal with him, but neither does the opponents.

Luka seems to be hard to play with, on court, due to his ball domination. Others knew how to play off of him. Seemed like when Luka was out, the team played faster and moved the ball better. Maybe Nico noticed that and thought the Mavs were better without him. Don't know. In spurts, it looked like it, but Luka's affect on the other team is a factor. He's intimidating. Other teams haven't really stopped him. They tend to stop his teammates, to stop Luka, and hope Luka doesn't beat them by himself.

Trading the 500 pound gorilla is not a good idea, unless he's too old to play.

Of all the things the one that stood out to me was the blurb at the end where it said the Luka camp said he would practice at the team facilities for his rehab than accompany the team.  Previously I thought Luka’ team was rehabbing him separately from the facility. If Luka was indeed rehabbing and practicing at the Mavs facility why was Nico so upset?  They could clearly track his progress there

Then Nico says Luka needs to participate in scrimmages on the road trip.  Luka then even offers to scrimmage with the Mavs G league team.  How many superstars who are top 3 would even do that?  The next time Luka’s camp hears back is to inform him he was traded. 

There is something seriously wrong with Nico. This doesn’t even begin to talk about the most important part of his job which is negotiating with another GM. We all know he fails there as well.

I don't recall seeing this idea discussed at all, but in some ways it might make a lot of sense.

How about a swap for Kevin Durant, and the Mavs send A Davis?

There's lots of ways to pick this apart, of course, but I can see so many possible pluses that I'm not sure it can be completely dismissed.

1 PHX needs a defender and interior player to complement Booker, while Mavs need a scorer to complement Gaff/Lively/PJW, and a star to carry the load until Kyrie heals.
2 The Mavs glut of non-shooters would be resolved.
3 Kyrie and KD reunited.
4 After July 1, their salaries are almost identical - which is huge trade-match help to both teams.
5 While we presume PHX would trade KD to start a rebuild of sorts and want lots of useful pieces and picks, I can see them valuing AD more highly than KD (and if we had a good negotiator, Mavs might be the ones getting extra assets in such a swap).
6 Yes, KD is older by 5 years, which matters. But who will have more impact over the next several years? And perhaps the difference in ages is the part of the deal that lands extra assets for DAL. (One disclaimer on this point - in looking at PHX lack of picks and considering their other players, are there any real assets to be had? Although they have a MASSIVE payroll, they don't have much value to show for it -- their cupboard is really really bare.)

Thoughts?

Heading says it all. This had to be one of the most difficult seasons for all the players, including the incoming ones, after Luka was traded.  Apart from all the chaos wrt the trade, the injuries, there was also a style change needed once AD came back.  

Yet they fought hard, tried their best to block out the noise,  and gave it their best every night.  They went through a lot through no fault of their own. 

Some of those players had a terrible game today, but my disgust for this ownership and front office won’t stop me fro acknowledging the heart and grit this team showed.   I haven’t always felt that way having watched this franchise for more than 30 years.
