Game 9: Dallas Mavericks (2-6) vs. Memphis Grizzlies (3-6) | 7:00pm

There should be a special exemption for Klay to go wherever he wants. Silver should grant this because it would be immoral not to do so.

Absolutely not.  He’s been awful.  Trade him to whoever.

[RBB]

I think it's safe to say Klay is at the end of his rope. Before the injuries, he was one of the best two-way guards in league history.

Who would have thought that Doncic would ever have been traded.

[Chicagojk]

Want to see more Nembhard. No idea what he is, but they desperately need a guy like that. Even if he is three foot five.

[RasheedsBigWhiteSpot]

Sadly I think he's too dumb for such thoughts and emotions

I think Nico is aware enough that he knows that the Mavs will be his career apex in the NBA. And, for that matter, I think for what he's done to an icon like Luka, I doubt shoe companies will be knocking on his door post Dallas days.

[Deebo]

We need to get a top three pick. And trade some players to get another first round pick

[Deebo]

When max Christie is your leading scorer your team is pretty bad

[cow]

Being down 30 the Memphis was not on my bingo card.

[Chicagojk]

So Omax played around 5 seconds more than Exum in a Mavs game this year.

That's a plan... After Fire Nico obviously.

[SwisherPrice]

This team is broken...and it's not just about the talent/injuries. The chemistry doesn't look right. Even after the Luka trade and AD/Kyrie injuries last year, they looked tight-knit and they were having fun win or lose. This season so far they don't look as close and it's more like players trying to play for themselves. Maybe all the changes on the coaching staff has something to do with it. Jared Dudley, Shammgod, and Sweeney were popular in the locker room and were here since Kidd's first year.

[ThisIStheYear]

The nightmare continues. Here’s the plan, fire Kidd but wait until the end of the season so you can lose as many games as possible. Hire Thibs as your new head coach. This unfocused, undisciplined joke of an underachieving roster needs a coach who’ll come in kick their ass and make their lives a living hell for a couple of years. Flagg would thrive with that kind of structure. Watching the Mavs since the Luka trade is like watching a pickup basketball team.

[ThisIStheYear]

Gafford tonight: 1 rebound, 0 points. I shit you not. What a season.

[ThisIStheYear]

Klay tonight: 0 points. I honestly can’t stop laughing. It shouldn’t be funny, but it kind of is. This roster is stunting Flagg’s development for sure.

[DL2RimRocker]

Cant believe our season is over by November 7.

Just like the old baseball saying "You cant win a pennant in April but you can lose one".

It applies here...we are done.

[DL2RimRocker]

People said this would be the perfect situation for Flagg but it is turning out to be the worst.

[FireNicoHarrison]

Remember his face during the lottery... He already knew it all.

[Chicagojk]

Some good news is Marshall improved his 3 point percentage. He shot 1 for 6, but that is a slight increase on his percentage entering the game.

[SleepingHero]

I figured our vets would be vets and actually came ready to play.

It's quite the opposite. AD came in overweight (a cardinal sin we lambasted our former star over continuously for). Every vet seems to be playing for themselves. No one can create a shot. And worst of all, it seems like no one really gives a shit.

Just going through the motions, accepting defeat.

We have players on the roster tweeting at Luka sad emojis. Going to fans saying how they miss Luka. Playing sad songs at practice.

The vibe is toast.

The one bright side is that there is actually something to build on. I think Flagg and Lively is a fantastic starting point. Heck Christie has surprised me too. That right there is 3 guys worth a ticket. Adding a top 5 pick to that core (hopefully a dynamic playmaker and scorer) and we're cooking. Of the guys remaining I only really want to keep PJ. 

____/Christie/PJ/Flagg/Lively is a solid start.

____/Christie/PJ/Flagg/Lively is a solid start.

It´s a start, if you get another generational talent in the draft and you make smart moves over the next two years.

Then maybe in 2-3 years you are what Orlando is now. That´s literally what these people have done to the franchise.

The remaining players are completely dead inside and who can blame them.  They literally could have gotten Sexton and Westbrook for FREE. They chose Exum.

Nobody would want to work hard for Nico/Dumont. They destroyed the workplace. If Kidd had any involvement or just knowledge of the trade he has to go too.

In that situation you look for leadership from your star player, but AD is exactly the kind of sulking personality that would crumble under this kind of trade pressure. Prime Westbrook would be like: I´m better than Luka. Let´s go. AD is like: it´s so mean that people expect me to work out in the off-season, actually run during games and try hard every night. I´m not Luka. Leave me alone, let me play golf, drink and smoke and show up for 30 games a year.

[FireNicoHarrison]

Top3 pick/Max/Coop/ PJ / Lively is a start and i bet all the fanbase will come back strong than ever.

Let's go Mavs.
