Will Cain mourning the loss of a white player and his birthrights
Man, of all the people who could be fans of the Mavs, you picked this guy?
Oh I hate Will Cain lol
Sorry Ry, had to skip to life advice. Will Cain can go take a long walk off a short pier
Can't wait for Russillo to have destiny on
50:56 to skip Will Cain
Does the media love luka or josh allen more. Who do they get more offended on behalf of?
Look at these comments. Perfectly encapsulates why the left is losers. “He doesn’t believe in all my identity politics? N@zi” bunch of clowns
Conservative podcasting. Disgusting
Sal cooked you on Bill's pod
Ceruti said he would trade Brunson and Kat but wouldn't do Paulo if he had to include Franz. This is why you can't take people like him seriously
Will Cain, nice guy; but also was the worst version of Russillo radio career lol
This trade should not be legal for competitive balance. If the Chris Paul trade was vetoed. This trade just gave the Lakers like 5 lottery picks worth of assets for free. How can other teams compete against this?
This trade will be remembered like picking Sam Bowie over Jordan. It will be remembered for the rest of time as a franchise killing move. There is ZERO chance Dallas is winning a title this year or next. They're in 9th right now and that was with Luka.
After listening to Nico and looking at the mavs. It just seems like he feels the pressure to win a chip and he thinks he's going to fired in a few years if they dont anyway. He thinks they hit their peak last season and he's swinging for the fences. In his mind this is the only way he keeps his job… Also, Rob lived up to his name and absolutely ROBBED this guy blind. It's quite literally unbelievable how this went down.
Appreciate this guy calling himself out for his politics so I can turn this off.
There’s 1 breadcrumb that made me understand why Nico did this deal:
Prior to the season changing acquisitions of Washington and Gafford at the deadline last year, Nico offered those same 2 first round picks to the Washington Wizards in return for Kyle Kuzma. The Wizards agreed, but ultimately pulled out of the deal when Kuzma told them he had no interest in being traded there.
Kyle Kuzma is an unserious basketball player who doesn’t play defense and is on one of the worst contracts in the entire league. And Nico thought his team was Kyle Kuzma away from competing for a championship.
Nico Harrison is not a good GM. He’s a lucky GM. He was lucky that Kyries trade value was low and that he worked out, he was lucky that Kyle Kuzma said no and allowed him to acquire better players at the same price, and now his luck ran out. Rob Pelinka did not leak the deal early, nobody caught wind of the possibilities of this deal, and because of that him being a BAD GM finally backfired.
Harrison just made another dumb trade. He is so awful at his job that even NHL and MLB GMs are now calling him to trade with the Mavs.
Will Cain can't stop talking about himself…how about we talk sports Guy
Why’s wills slimy, spineless, softss on here. His politics are almost as bad as his sport takes. 🗑️
will Cain??? The racist???
Grilled cheese protein is crazy😂
IMO the right way to trade Luka is to wait till he is extended and signed up for 5 years or whatever it is. Then it doesn't matter if it gets out he cant threaten and force his way to a single destination. That is if you are gonna trade him. In my opinion the right way to trade him is when he is 33, trying to force his way out and 18 massage therapist are about to come forward with some nasty shit. Short of that I wouldn't trade him. However to get the biggest haul it is after he has resigned.
Thank you so much for this amazing video! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Having Will Cain on is an… “interesting” decision Ryen. Revealing
Ryen’s not like Will…is he?
Will Cain is bought media
im from Minnesota my sister name her first child after Luca She loves him she's originally from Dallas.
Well when when Rick Carlisle was there he did say Luka had way to much power and he was spoild, Carlisle is old school and although Cuban loved him he got rid of him because of Luka and Carlisle bad relationship.
All you need to know about this trade is that Nico’s next job will be on the Laker’s payroll.
Kleber is possibly the league's most versatile defender when he's healthy. Just doesn't get the credit because he's white and European.
