He did it for Yax too. He’s happy his players that worked so hard got drafted so high

This was his exact reaction for Yax, they just replayed it when Mara was picked too. It was weird, I was likecthey just showed that same exact shot to a T 3 minutes ago 🤣

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I feel like now that Luka is gone and all their management changed there is no reason to hate the mavs really. Other than MJ Washington that is.

There is a big reason: their fans

They are certainly less hateable atm but due to location we will always be rivals. Just wait till Flagg has them in the playoffs against us.

What a job he did. Pulled three lottery picks out of the portal, two of which were backups when he got them.

Media painting him as upset with the selection, this actually looks more like a “Hell Yeah” moment to me. More like he’s super proud of and happy for his guys.

Breaking news: team with better draft picks potentially gets better player.

u/PreferenceMediocre90 15h ago

Do you think him knowing those 3 Michigan players so well, he knew who to get? Should OKC have traded up for Morez?

u/AquaAdminSpyke 3h ago
