MAVS NEWS:

[Smitty]

Part of the Luka/Grimes trade were to acquire two injured players in AD/Martin, which then forced a burden on Kyrie that significantly contributed to him tearing his ACL. Kyrie was not build for that kind of physical responsibility. When the Mavs went to the finals Kyrie basically played a half per game. He was resting in the first half. Anyone with half a brain knew that Kyrie would crumble under that physical responsibility. If he did not get hurt, his legs would have been completely gone by the time of the play-offs.

You guys seriously expect Kyrie to just come back from an ACL tear at age 33 in record time and immediately average 30/10 to dig them out of at least 5-6 games under .500. Also what stops the other team from just throwing full court presses and double teams at Kyrie? All the other bricklayers on the Mavs.

This is already over.

Who are you guys? No, I don’t expect Kyrie to come back and average 30/10. I do think they’ll look a lot more competitive if/when Kyrie, AD, and Lively play. As a fan of the Mavs, I’d like to see it on the court at the very least.
