Should the Dallas Mavericks trade Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, and Klay Thompson after Nico Harrison was fired?
#nba #mavericks #mavs
The Dallas Mavericks should blow it up and trade Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis. Mavs fans can finally start to heal from the Luca trade now that the architect behind it, Nico Harrison, is gone. But whoever takes over has an opportunity to completely reset and start rebuilding around Cooper Flag. While both Davis and Irving are in their 30s, they can still help you compile assets. Davis especially can probably get you a couple picks and maybe even a prospect. If I’m the Detroit Pistons or the Chicago Bulls, I’m calling the Mavs right now. And while Irving is out recovering from knee surgery, he is expected to return at some point this season. The Rockets, for example, would make a lot of sense as a Kyrie destination. If the Mavs are smart, they can accumulate picks to take on contracts, including moving off of Klay Thompson, who’s been struggling to start the year. And the Mavs are 3 and8 to start this season. They can now freely tank ahead of an absolutely stacked 2026 draft class. If Dallas wants to build a team around Cooper Flag’s image, they have the perfect chance to kickstart a worthwhile rebuild now and make sure not to hire anyone with ideas of trading Cooper Flag.

Give it until February before the trade deadline. It’s too early right now and I’m not a Mavs fan
2 wrongs don’t make a right
Nobody wants AD, nobody. He's untradable after showing up tubby which naturally led to more AD injuries.
He's lazy, no thanks
Yes.
Sad for klay
Lakers wanted him but choose mavs coz of luka
This was the plan all along
For The Causals: AD has a long injury history and being injury prone leads to hesitant front offices that’s why if you have been wondering why people in the comments aren’t making big packages for him so with that being said please disregard AD to the Pistons but Bulls is a possibility
I hope we can get something for ad and Irving.
all of this after a 3-8 start?
Stay in your basement buddy.
Sign me up as the gm
Nico Harrison was a scapegoat. It's no way that he alone traded Luka. Get your head out your butt! 🤬
The pistons don't need AD
But I thought Flagg was leading them to a championship with this core?
i wouldn’t want to rebuild just yet bc we need to see how ad and kyrie will look like once they’re healthy
Mavericks need Kyrie and ad to do what they can to pull the Mavs out of the rut an give them what they need lmfao not trade them tbh
Everyone but Kyrie can go. We NEED his veteran presence and leadership Amongst everything else he brings to the table
As a bulls fan Ill pass on street clothes
They should’ve picked edge comb number 1
Dallas doesn't control their picks from 2027-2030. You can let Kai rest and rehab this year and tank and rebuild for next year centered around Coop and Kai, but you have to be competitive next year and not hand a lottery pick to Charlotte.
Who wants to trade for injured players who are not sure when to return and still be elite if they return.
Getting the feeling AD is not interested again. When you're in a losing situation its easy to lose focus i imagine.
Those team gm are not as stupid as nico AD have no trade value they lucky if they get 1 first round pick
Naw pistons are good over here don’t try to wish bad on us by placing that injury prone dude on our squad we got something good going on. 😂😂
💯 …it's rebuild time.
Can y'all stop being mindless puppets he dont have that power it came from up top🤔and da only reason he havent said anything because wants another job🤔if he say something then the other organizations will feel like u cant be trusted
Brother I’m a mavericks fan and I will never heal
Nico had nothing to do with Luka being traded
Yes
Bro got a channel, but don't know ish about basketball 😂
Nico wasn't the architect behind that trade. Adam silver was
Who the fuck would want AD? If he comes off the bench sure. But he won’t agree to that 😅
The only teams they will be willing to take kyrie or ad, are teams that are looking to salary dump 😂😂
Seems like the best players make teams worse
how it became contender to needs to tank just in 1trade😂
No bulls dont need ad
Wait to rebuild until after the season. Let’s see how the team looks when Kyrie comes back
Fortunately kyrie is maverick the city love him , we don’t want him gone . AD has been a liability since he got here
Keep Kyrie but trade AD. I don’t see Flagg and AD being a good fit together in my opinion
Trade AD to Chicago for P. williams C white Z collins, 1st round pick
Detroit is absolutely not trading for AD.
trade everyone to the Lakers
Nuclear
Bruh niko did nothing wrong if you think about 😢it
Yes
Why the heck would the Pistons be calling the mavs? 😂
