RandomAct Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) You know what will get me to finally give up on my team? Driving away a your once in a lifetime, generational 22 year old superstar talent by hiring Jason fucking Kidd, instead of the one dude that said superstar would like to actually play for. Like, I can't help but think that Cuban expects Luka to be like Dirk and just gut everything out, when that is so far from the reality of it all. Kid wants to be a star and a champion, that's it.

To go with this Quote On that same Hoop Collective podcast, ESPN’s Tim MacMahon suggested that former Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle may have felt threatened in Dallas by assistant Jamahl Mosley‘s close relationship with Luka Doncic (hat tip to RealGM). Carlisle’s endorsement of Jason Kidd for the job could be viewed through that lens. “I think Rick understood the perception of how (the endorsement of Kidd) might impact who he didn’t endorse,” MacMahon said, adding of Carlisle and Mosley: “I don’t think those guys will necessarily send each other Christmas cards.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought he just wanted to take Mose to Indiana with him, but now it just looks like he wanted to cause chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that was heavily implied too. One thing I have learned from following all the Dallas sports media accounts over the years, and reading Carlisle interviews, is that there is almost always something he's trying to say underneath what he actually says.

Jiji Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 How come I'm hearing of Chauncey Billups' rape case for the first time yesterday? And of course the media portrays Kidd as a great guy and I found out about his domestic assault on here from the legend CharlieMurphyDVDVR.

Because the remaining sports news outlets are all deeply in bed with the leagues they cover so they refuse to push on any kind of scandal?

Jiji Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I'm going to be so sad if Dame requests a trade. They should be mortgaging their future to build a winner right now. CJ for Simmons still makes a lot of sense to me. Talk of Kawhi unhappy with the clips' doctors and he may be outta there this summer. Uncle Dennis back at it again! Never a dull moment with the NBA.

Zimbra Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I like both Barea and Terry as people and as players but goddamn, the prime of a potential franchise player is not the time to fuck around and hire all your friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Scott Pippen hasn't stopped talking and today he said that Phil Jackson is racist Why??? you may ask. Because he drew up the play for Tony Kukoc (This is from being on the Dan Patrick show today) He has decided to shit on Michael Jordan too https://www.tmz.com/2021/06/28/scottie-pippen-calls-phil-jackson-racist-chicago-bulls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Absolutely, especially if the reports that Siakam is unhappy in Toronto are true. I guess the question then becomes does Masai stick around for the rebuild? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
