Report: Mavericks 'seriously considering' shutting down Luka Dončić, Kyrie Irving

[stormtrooper8]

Kyrie doesn’t want to play and doncic wants Kyrie removed from the team next year

Not really

Kyrie and Doncic have both been dinged up.

Problem with the Mavs is they couldn’t fill out the rest of their roster after the trade. Kyrie has been good for the most part

That crap always happens. Put two stars on a team and they turn into prima-donnas.
"Team" is nonexistant anymore in NBA (except a couple teams - Warriors come to mind).

There doesn’t seem to be any prima-donna issues here

Kyrie isn’t the problem. They have no players after Luka and him

NBA totally unwatchable

It’s the greatest thing on TV compared to college basketball tbh

Huh

Huh

I don’t like watching kids who can’t make open shots, can’t handle the ball, constant fouling

Hard to believe that was a championship game last night

NBA gets knocked on for lack of defense and sure there’s some coasting in a long season, but the skill level is so incredible it’s just hard to guard those guys

Luca said he is playing

I wonder why any team would want Kyrie?

Epic quitter

THIS!

Spot on JJ. Guy has skills but his antics offset any benefits.

it been that way from day 1 in college here

Combo guard that can average 28-30ppg on 50% shooting?

Yeah not sure why anyone would want that

 

[stormtrooper8]

There is no evidence of Kyrie having a negative effect on the Mavs team culture. Theres been no off court drama, he's been a good player for them.

I get his past issues, but why do people instantly think he is the problem in Dallas?

The team has NO PLAYERS are Luka and Kyrie for f***'s sake

 

[jjgold]

Whatever team he plays on, he loses his 100% not coming back

A total loser personality

Doncic not happy he is there actually said it

Kyrie has a ring. Luka doesn’t.

 

[jjgold]

James gave him the ring, guy was wide open all the time because of James

Irving just a ghetto loser like the rest of them

Well, Mavs did it. They sat damn near everyone last night.
Luka played 13 min Kyrie and others sat out. NBA is investigating the issue.

So why would Dallas sit them with a chance to make the plaoffs???

Because if Dallas gets a Top 10 draft pick they don't have to give the pick up to give up the pick as part of a trade in 2019 for Porzingis. The top 10 pick would be protected.

Dallas appears to be tanking to miss the playoffs, get a top 10 pick, and not have to give it up.
