I mean technically they traded from a #3 overall pick to a #2 overall pick. You can’t do better than that unless you next trade for Ayton!

vlade was a prophet

I literally just can’t even believe it. The stupidity of it all just doesn’t make any sense. I think we’re definitely in a simulation lmao

The worst part of the Luka trade was the dementors

Yer a Wizard, Anthony

Even the dementors knew that trade was ass 😭😭😭

I’M PRISON NICO

I mean, it would be difficult NOT to. Lol

That does not compute. Everything they’re getting for AD they also got for Luka

Well no, their return is whatever they got for AD+Max Christie and a pick

Luka for Max Christie and 3 picks essentially 😂

Edit: Cooper Flagg was selected with the number one overall pick in 2025 by the Dallas Mavericks.

They trading up bro

Vlade is now officially correct that they have the same value.

He’s gotta do a better hiding job in Dallas than Saddam Hussein did in Baghdad. 😂

But the 1sts theyre getting are bad lol. Thunders 2026 pick so basically a second rounder. And protected warriors 2030 pick

To be honest this package is so bad they might’ve been better off keeping AD than doing this

Yall arent ready for the Ja for Poole+DJM trade

Might force a truly weird and desperate three-team trade between Kings, Raptors, and Grizzlies

I think George/Bailey/Lauri/JJJ/Kessler is a legit good starting 5 and the Jazz will surprise a lot of people.

Adam Silver is definitely going to rig the draft for us to give us a top pick/AD/Trae Young core with the other young guys like Sarr as complimentary pieces.

We’re so fucking back even though our owner was in the Epstein Files.

GREAT POINT

Both years involving the Mavericks, feel for their fans.

Would be pretty amazing if AD health issues clear up and he’s the guy he can be.

Trae-D super duo name.

Imagine if AD wins another title before Luka gets one

*ahem* IN THEORY…….

Trae with AD and Sarr, behind him could be pretty nasty on offense. Tre J on the wing knocking down shots. Peterson/Boozer??/Dybansta possibly too.

They got Trae so they’re going to try and push for a top 6 seed next season, AD is part of that and if it doesn’t work like you said they’ll flip him

Trae Young is 27. Wiz are all in. AD already best player hes ever had.

I think it allows them to tank this year with the hope that a healthy AD and Trae can recover while they let their young guys develop. They basically keep their core that they would have anyway and add AD and Trae

The Wizards currently have their best on paper team in a decade+. Honestly it’s great that teams are aiming to at least be competitive.

It’s the Thunder’s picks which will be late

See, Nico was right AD >> Luka. How many picks have the Lakers gotten out of that unathletic dude?

Realistically 4 years ago AD washes away all of Trae’s bad D.

the 20 games they’re both fully healthy for are gonna go crazy and I mean that unironically

Yea I don’t hate this at all for them. They’re very likely going to be a playoff team next year if(!!!) they stay healthy

Heat might have a new Play-In rival

The new Trae-AD deadline

Key word there is ‘hypothetical’

The Wes Unseld erasure

Big if but i would be on board if it wasn’t for 2 firsts

You tell them both they’re the 4 and have them on the court at the same time

One of them doesn’t play so that’ll help

Sarr’s a good 5 when we actually put him there, we just don’t really do it because it’s too winning

But it was glorious

AD only played 29 games for the mavs. Total.  That looks like a typo but it isn’t. 

*they actually negotiated this time

Can’t think of a bigger indictment on Nico than this

It absolutely is on our condition. Got entirely out of the cap hell, dumped D’Lo and got no long term money outside of Bagley I think. Even if those picks come with a gazillion protections it is still a win.

mfs really think ad is worth like 0 picks somehow

why keep luka when you can gamble on draft picks? one of em may even end up being luka!!!

And thus saving the environment in the process! Now THAT is priceless

And the other is the 2026 OKC pick. The last pick in the first round, lmfao. So Two fake FRPs?

ngl with another year of development for the young guys and a healthy trae/AD that is a beautiful starting five for next season

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a trade that made me say “WTF are they doing” to BOTH sides lmaoo

With absolutely 0 context this isn’t a bad trade

Unfortunately the context is pretty fucking crazy lmao

2 firsts, probably

AD never plays and they got 2 first rounders.

Mavs have to get rid of everything and build for Flagg. He’s 19 so they have to be aggressive now with building the future.

+year 3 sarr + Tre J + Peterson/Boozer/Dybantsa

Its a pipe dream to work out but i guess its something

Dont forget Kyshawn George. I kinda like them tbh.

God bless you

It’s very strange to hear people talk about us like this.
