Anthony Davis played in 31 out of a possible 85 games in his Mavs tenure (36.5%).
I included the 2 play-in games from last season.
AD, Flagg and Kyrie never played a game together.
Also Mavs traded for the 2nd pick in the 2018 draft (Bagley)
this is honestly more than I thought
Same here. I thought AD played fewer than 20 games for the Mavs.
I thought AD died
Up there in athlete heaven with Wade Boggs, may he rest in peace
I’d say maybe they’re sharing a beer together, but Boggs is one of those that drinks all the beers himself.
Minus the games he left early with injury lol
He was injured mid-game several times and on a minutes restrictions others.
Luka is averaging more ppg than the number of games Anthony Davis has played this year.
Luka is averaging more ppg than the number of games Anthony Davis has ever played for the Mavericks.
Luka’s CAREER ppg average is 2 fewer than the number of career games Anthony Davis had with the Mavericks.
This trade gonna go down as “it was during the Trump days” so future people can understand why it happened. Otherwise too crazy for people to believe someone actually did that trade.
Leave him alone, he’s already dead
How many lemonades per 36 though?
and last year for the mavs too.
nico harrison killed my dog
He burned our crops, poisoned our water supply, and put a plague upon our houses
He did!?!?
Yes.
Yes
I rank Nico higher than Genghis Khan
He punted Baxter
Easier to kill em if you hardly Noem.
Technically, he killed ur horse
Surely he will suddenly be super healthy at another team though
Probably not, but we’ve got a lot less invested in AD and it’s worth the risk imo.
Happened to Grant Hill didn’t it 😂
The Suns trainers and medical staff are legendary. The Wizards’ team, not so much.
Says who? I get it, wizards are the easiest team in the league next to the kings to clown, but what are you basing that off of?
Trae and AD gonna kill it…..for 10 games
Separately, never together.
I mean, it would be really funny if he was.
Honestly I hope he is. I don’t dislike AD at all. Not his fault he’s injured and not his fault he was in the worst trade in history.
But he had to go.
Now we can heal.
“But it might work for us…”
Unlike with yall, he has no pressure whatsoever to return quickly, and has a half season+ full offseason to get right. Now, I don’t expect him to play 70% of the games next season, but I’ll absolutely take that
Nico Harrison will be man hunted in Dallas til the end of times. He will be treated as actual war criminals.
Kony 2012 levels of viral hate
Theres a video of him trying to go to a bar/club or whatever for NYE in Dallas and he didnt even make it in the door. Every single person inside saw him trying to get in and started booing and yelling at him lmao.
i feel bad for his kids. Imagine being in school and having to go back after everyone finds out your dad traded away Luka and ran Dirk off. The level of bullying would be unheard of.
That’s like murdering your roommate’s sister and continuing to be roommates. The sheer audacity and tone-deafness is breathtaking. Why hasn’t Nico yet assumed a new identity and relocated to a quiet town in Idaho?
because he is an absolute idiot and thinks what he did was a good move
Deserved
Get that man’s name in the Lakers rafters
I’m picturing the end of Marge vs the Monorail where the conman’s plane makes an emergency landing in North Haverbrook….
“Dallas? Dallas? Where have I heard that name before? Oh no! OH NO!” “There he is! Seat 3F!”
Genuinely what was all this for. What was the point of trading Luka in the first place.
Rigged NBA. Simple as that.
Honestly, I hope the explanation is it was rigged. It’s more insane if it wasn’t rigged. Like, is Nico that big of an idiot that he just thought 32 year old AD is the same as the guy who just gutted through to the finals? Or is he such a primadona that he wanted to prove to Luka who was in charge?
If it wasn’t rigged Nico Harrison shouldn’t be allowed to drive because I question if he’s too dumb or too psycopathic to be allowed on the roads.
it’s so obvious that i cant even think it was rigged
Considering NBA’s actions to the recent scandals, they proved that they can be really shady when they want to and think they can get away with it.
Collusion
It is purely 😉 a coincidence 😉 that 1) the Lakers received another superstar player in his prime while the other superstars on their team were aging out of their prime, 2) the lakers traded a pittance for that superstar, and 3) the team that traded away the superstar fell out of the play-in, became eligible for the lottery, and won the #1 pick in the lottery. It is purely a coincidence.
Do you think Kyrie tore his ACL on purpose? Or that somehow Adam Silver was magically able to force his ACL to tear?
The balls aren’t rigged: https://youtu.be/NCxgXS7EBI0
cooper flagg and lakers have a future again.
What was the point of trading Luka in the first place.
A delusional GM who put Jrue Holiday on the same tier as Jokic. Harrison clearly has a type and it’s not superstar White European players.
Nico Harrison is a terrorist
Not even a “basketball terrorist”, like an actual full on causes human beings terror terrorist.
FWIW Nico and Abu Hafs al-Hashimi al-Qurashi have never been seen in the same room at the same time
Unbelievable that Luka trade getting worse each day.
We are a year removed and it somehow keeps giving.
That was very smart of them to trade him when his trade value was at an all time low. Thank heavens they got rid of Nico. There’s no way this guy will ever get healthy and return to the perennial all-nba DPOY level player he was. Dude is 32 years old. He might as well retire. Like when KG got hurt in 2009, Boston really should have sent him packing for a small pittance so they could avoid the possibility of him getting healthy and the team having 3 more years of contending.
Ah yes, the example of one guy 20 years ago, that makes me sure that every other example has to have a high success rate.
Dallas wasn’t even good WHEN Davis played, which everyone’s omitting. He ends his Dallas span with the team being outscored in the time he played. He’s… many years removed from anything like 2009 Garnett situation.
Boston was having amazing scores with Garnett basically all the time for years. He was even a visible big plus for the then-weaker team, transforming the defense, during his last season, 2012-13. He was also available a lot, his “big injury season” he still played 57 games. Boston did sell low on him. It’s a strong example of someone that was sold low, and it was probably a good moment to end it.
Actually Dallas was above .500 in games Davis played despite kyrie being injured. In Luka’s last two years he had a below .500 record in games kyrie missed.
But truly, I’m happy for Dallas fans that all their bellyaching about getting “nothing” in return for Luka is now basically true.
16-13 in the games he played in. Still, outscored in the sum of plays he was on court himself. Since we’re talking about what he brings himself.
But, not a big difference. Either way, it’s… decisievely not 2009 Boston.
The fan base got absolutely fucked over, and they were right about it, and you’re in here acting like they are in the wrong?
My fucking god. Like, you think it’s only true NOW that it was a bad trade? And it’s somehow the fans fault AD is old and injury prone and not a valuable trade asset?
This is such a weird — and bad — take.
It really doesn’t make any sense unless he was begging to leave. Mavs aren’t winning anything any time soon. Play him at center and hope for the best
Bring Nico to stand trial at The Hague.
Damn
Coop is about to be stuck in purgatory for 5 years
I just don’t get this concept, we are clearing an incredible amount of salary going forward to help build around Cooper the proper way. This is much better than just praying AD will be able to play more than 5 consecutive games without hurting some random part of this body.
Yea because designing your team around signing a bunch of free agents worked so well for the Mavs in the past…
I remember CP3, Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony all being instrumental in the Mavs dominance in the 2010s.
The truth of the matter was that a lot of free agents in the past didn’t want to team up with a Dirk in his early-mid 30s, especially post 2011 whenever Cuban dismantled that championship team.
I would say this is a little different with a 19 year old Cooper Flagg who is putting up numbers at his age that is really only comparable to KD & LeBron. All this really rest on if we can get the right GM in place this summer.
Dude free agency isn’t the player hub it once was like 5+ years ago. The real stars are on the trade market. The only thing you’ll find in free agency is washed up stars and overpaid role players.
You may hit on something every once in a blue moon now, but designing your team around signing free agents is a thing of the past.
era of the sign & trade big dawg teams aren’t letting their assets just walk even if they hate them
You’re drunk. We got mad cap and good pieces, we just not need to be wise in how we go about getting talent.
A bonafide PG on this team and we scary
Who’s a FA next year?
Ok. Name a point guard the Mavs can get in the next two years lol
I’m not on the payroll man lmao. I just gave my opinion damn
Everyone says “oh we just need this piece and we’ll be good to go” but they can never actually name any options. What’s the point of saying anything
I said we need a good PG. that’s a position of need. Why do I have to play the role of GM and Scout? Go be weird somewhere else man lmao
Kyrie is literally on the roster right now
How about trading Max back to the Lakers for bonafide pg Gabe Vincent?
Oh hell no!!
First number one overall pick to just take the QO lol
i lowkey miss marvin bagley in memphis
Marvin “No” Bagley
Nico Harrison is a basketball terrorist
“Totally worth it”
He’ll be a wizards problem now lol
Let’s see how long it takes him to play 31 games for the Wizards. Lol
Sad, really
street clothes strikes again
Mavs legend
that video were all 3 1st picks were posing together. they never played together….
Trump puts higher tariffs on allied countries than that
And in how many of those did he leave injured?
Defense wins championships or something like that
how good was the defense, asking for a friend (nico)
AD was never able to play more than 5 games in a row for the mavs.
And when he played he never looked right. He looked slow, out of shape, and he was constantly wincing even when “healthy”.
He makes KP feel/seem like a more active player and that’s saying something.
They were 17-14 in games he played, and 15-37 when he did not.
A healthy AD is a top 10 player in the league.
He’s just never healthy.
It’s even more pathetic than I thought it was
Lakers benefit too much from these lopsided fucking trades
lmao. street clothes.
him and kyrie played 26 minutes together lol
I mean it’s not like it was ever possible for Kyrie and Cooper to play together
They will next season
Nico traded their franchise star for a player nicknamed Street Clothes and Day-to-Davis.
Wow. That’s more than i thought. Shoutout AD man
It’s even worse because they went on this press run making Luka look bad for health related reasons. Sure, Luka could have been in better shape but he also got you to the Finals and is one of the league’s greatest talents regardless of what shape he’s in… and he’s never missed significant time due to injury.
I’m sure playing next to Trae will magically heal any ailment AD has
Clear his money before he tanks his value even more. Everyone will point to the Luka trade about how this makes it look even worse, but the new Mavs gm can’t look at it that way, he just has to play the hand dealt to him.

Bagley was waived by the Pistons iirc…the Pistons that lost 26 in a row
hey have you guys heard? ad is often injured!
defense wins championships
Rob pelinka traded AD at the absolute perfect time
i want to hear the apologists say nico got AD to help tank for flagg
And now that he was traded will he have that season ending surgery he was putting off? Or is that still on the back burner until he gets a new contract at which point he’ll essentially just take the next season off to rehab.
Now you see the vision.
Yeah but he’s jacked, Luka would never!
It’s cool, they weren’t going to win anything anyways
I’m rooting for you AD. Please stay healthy.
Vintage AD
The Walking Injured Season 14
Lakers should build a Nico Harrison statue.
Yesterday i was actually having a thoughts of AD doing press conference and retiring… and today this lol
Who’s worse; Nico Harrison or Adolf Hitler?
It was all very shocking for us, truly
