@jared_thigpen For sure. I’m guessing the trade down market must not have been what we thought it could have been so they had to do something. I like the pick over a second tier guard though.
The fatal error of most strains of Christian Nationalism occurs when we look at the way the world wields power (through domination & coercion), and instead of rejecting it, we envy it. We believe we can accomplish God's ends through the world's means.
We want the ring.
Imagine going back in time 13 months to tell yourself that Marvin Bagley would be a Dallas Maverick and Luka Doncic would not. What a weird timeline lol
The Mavs shed about $70M from their payroll next season and add a couple of future picks.
This trade for the Mavs is about prioritizing flexibility as they build around Cooper Flagg.
Mavs were 1-4 in the last home stand but played way better ball. Cooper Flagg is arriving BIG TIME with huge late game moments.
The energy is different - I’m feeling a tide turning. I know this will disappoint the lose and tank crowd but it feels like this is what’s happening
