Because Kidd is the Head coach and before his opinion mattered , the opinion of Nico and Dumont would not be worth fighting for Luka.

Whitewind617 | Knicks

-17 | 20 hours ago

Kidd literally said he had no idea about the trade until an hour before it was announced:

“I was told by my boss Nico that we were going to make a change. This is in a hotel in Cleveland. He said the news was going to hit in an hour and that’s when it went down. So, when he told me, I went back to my room to start figuring out how we’re going to use AD and Christie because of this change.”

So saying otherwise is just making shit up or assuming hes lying for some reason. And why would he lie about this? It was a fucking stupid trade, why’s it hard to believe he wasn’t in on it?

Pwyll__

26 | 20 hours ago

Kidd literally said he had no idea about the trade until an hour before it was announced:

That is not what this quote says at all. You’re morphing its meaning in your head to fit the narrative that you want.

Nowhere does he say that he didn’t know the trade was going to happen or that he didn’t give his input.

He’s saying that he got a call letting him know they were pulling the trigger on the trade. You have no idea the extent of conversations that were had about it prior to that night - you’re making MAJOR assumptions.

Whitewind617 | Knicks

-3 | 18 hours ago

I mean he’s given other statements that imply the same, nobody involved has ever suggested Kidd was involved…I mean who exactly is making the assumptions here?

EDIT: I’m aware Cuban has suggested it. He wasn’t involved at all, he’s only guessing because Kidd had previously coached AD. Kidd gave an admittedly “non denial denial” when asked about that comment, only saying he was tired of being asked about it.

Fakename00420 | Hornets

1 | 20 hours ago

Why would he lie? Maybe he didn’t realize the backlash that would come. And once it hit everyone was in damage control, no body wanted to be a part of that decision, but Nico was the one that executed the trade so he was definitely the main culprit.

16 | 21 hours ago

Cuban himself had no proof. He basically speculated that Kidd was in on it with Nico because they both had relationships with AD. So, there really is nothing definitive about whether Kidd knew - it’s all he said/he said. Mav fans are just so incensed by the entire thing that they’re willing to burn it all down and start over with a blank slate.

LHamiltonPP | Pelicans

9 | 21 hours ago

It seems reasonable to me that Kidd complained about Luka at some point and Nico took that general grousing and ran with it

I think Kidd knows ball well enough to know that you’re still waaaay better off with Luka, warts and all

Soysauceonrice | Mavericks

13 | 21 hours ago

Nicos end game was always to get AD. He had known AD ever since he was like 13. AD went on a podcast and gave his reaction when he found out he was traded. Shortly after the news broke that he was being traded, Nico called him and told him “I told you I was going to come get you”. So it was clear that Nico had wanted AD and had planned for a long time to get him. The fact that the Mavs had no assets other than Luka that would make that trade happen, along with his general disdain for Luka, meant that it made sense, to him, to ship Luka out to get what he always wanted. Everyone was stumped as to why Nico only had talks with the Lakers and no one else if he wanted to dump Luka. The answer was simple; it wasn’t just about getting rid of Luka. He wanted AD.

soilentgleem

3 | 20 hours ago

Obviously, but do you think they would prefer to move him or hold on to him?

Dirks_Knee | Mavericks

2 | 20 hours ago

Honestly I think it kinda depends on how the draft plays out. If one of the projected good guards falls to them, maybe they Move Ky. But I question whether Ky really has much trade value coming off injury.

soilentgleem

1 | 20 hours ago

I was just thinking about it from a Pistons perspective and wondered if the Mavs would move him for some picks. Like Caris + Duncan Robinson + Marcus Sasser + pick 21 this year and then next years pick too (assuming the trade is executed on draft night to allow consecutive picks to be traded)

Dirks_Knee | Mavericks

2 | 19 hours ago

I have no idea what Ky’s value is, but I imagine any deal would have to either be an quality starter (like a #2 option) and/or expiring contracts. I can’t see them taking on Robinson and Caris.

soilentgleem

1 | 6 hours ago

I’m not sure that type of return is all that realistic. Not many teams would want to give up a number 2 option to get a number 2 option in return, especially when what they get in return just missed an entire season for injury and is older. The trade I was talking about would be for the picks mostly, and get some vets also to fill out the roster around Flagg. There’s also a second draft guy thrown in.

Dirks_Knee | Mavericks

1 | 6 hours ago

Which is why I prefaced with “I have no idea what Ky’s value is”. I imagine if Dallas can’t get what they feel is fair value then there’s no point in moving him vs keeping him as a mentor for Flagg and whoever they draft this year. What’s the point in moving Irving for late firsts that may never become rotation players and/or vets when the Mavs are looking for either cap relief or young/fresh guys to grow with Flagg?

Electronic_Dig_2685

I can see him getting traded now that Kidd is gone and now that Masai is there. Masai appears to be in cleansing state with exception of Flagg most likely.

soilentgleem

1 | 4 hours ago

What’s going around in some Pistons circles is Levert+ Duncan Robinson + this years first and next year’s first (assuming the trade is timed to make consecutive picks legal)

I proposed that to another mavs fan and they don’t think that’s worth moving him, even with Duncan having a largely non guaranteed contract. Would you be in agreement that’s not enough, or would you consider that deal? Fwiw, some Pistons fans think that’s too much to give for Irving, which makes me think if neither side thinks it’s enough, it might actually be a fair trade haha

Electronic_Dig_2685

1 | 4 hours ago

I think it’s also the fit in Detroit. I don’t know if Kyrie fits that

soilentgleem

1 | 4 hours ago

Fair, but I’m just wondering from the Mavs perspective if Mavs fans think that would be worth considering.

I’m a Pistons fan, and not particularly set on something like this. But my mind is also in offseason mode now so just pin-balling the possibilities in my head haha

Electronic_Dig_2685

1 | 4 hours ago

From a Dallas standpoint they Will want picks. They may take the picks. You’re right. And from a pistons they may assume he can work with Cade based on how he worked with Luka but not sure he will same way

Another idea is give Dallas Duren. Maybe even Tobias Harris in there or ausar Thompson

Du Pont leaks so much lmao. This new mavs organization is so dirty how they leak everything and trash anyone on their way out the door. And it’s obvious that they use leaks through the media. This ownership/ Du Pont have literally no ethics or class.

Luka was a fat, out of shape slob while in Dallas and they probably thought, correctly, that he would never do the work needed to get into shape in Dallas because he knew that no matter what he did, the Dallas fan base would support him.

Does this prove that he knew about the Luka trade beforehand at least?

Kidd has wanted a FO job for awhile now. Hope he gets one. He’s not a bad coach but it’s right for us to have a fresh start next year

Ujiri still pissed from when Brooklyn beat Raptors in like 2017 or so. The famous “fuck Brooklyn” battle cry Masai had (that he was heavily criticized for).

Brooklyn beat our ass.

And now Ujiri using that Uno Reverse card he been holding on to for a decade lol.

I feel like that whole gambling conspiracy was the final straw in his tenure there. How do Mavs fans feel about all this?

Dude, you okayed and validated the Luka trade. On what planet would you get promoted to president after that?

Wow, another mistake by Dumont after firing Nico Harrison

[MacMahon] Sources said Kidd had expressed a desire to be promoted to president of basketball operations after general manager Nico Harrison was fired in November, but Dumont informed Kidd months ago that he wouldn’t be considered for the front office.
