2024 NBA Season

Like it or not , Irving seems to have fun in Dallas and more than this , in his interview after the game he told something that I didn't see from him for A VERY LONG TIME. " I do mistakes and when I do them , my teammates are there to fix them for them and it's amazing" it's not word by word but 99% he told that and by no means , Sacramento is not an easy team to beat this year and they still did it. Also , when Luka is back from his small injury , I'm curious how they will swap position during in game because Irving also said that he is ready to give his best in order to give his teammates the best options available on the court during the game.

Hopefully he will continue to have that good chemistry with his teammates so there's no problem when it comes to the renewal of his contract. We are all aware that Irving's contract will soon expire, so it's crucial if he will sign with Dallas or not. Seeing Irving enjoying in his new team, that makes me happy because he always seemed to be unsatisfied with the past teams he played with.

We’ll find out right after the all star break. Most of the analysts seem to agree that it will be Craig. It was nice to see Booker back in action tonight against the Pacers. He helped them get the win with a pretty balanced scoring night from Booker/Ayton/Paul. They might already be making an effort to share the ball more evenly to set an example for when KD hits the court. It’ll be interesting to see the shot distribution.

Regarding the All-Star, have you sniffed some news about what will happen since Kyrie and KD were traded to the West? Will there be changes in the roster or will it just be the same as Lebron and Giannis will pick their own roster? I am just curious. 

I guess it will all be an isolation play when they hand KD the ball and Booker will be on the play style with Ayton and CP3. There will be a lot of adjustments that they need to polish as this will be the first they will have two assassins in both mid-range and outside shots. Will be looking forward at seeing them rotating the ball more.

Maybe Irving is just observing on what will be the outcome of their run in Dallas since if they go to finals or even win a championship with their current rooster maybe he sign a new contract with this team. Irving likes to win so most provably that this scenario will happen. But if they fail and got a bad drop out of contention maybe he pursue his like to go to Lakers and try to pair up again with Lebron since this is what he like at the first place.

Probably it will be the same I reckon, the All Star should not be affected by the trade and what is going on with some players moving from East to West or vice versa. It has been written way before the trade deadline so it should be all set already.

For sure there will be a lot of adjustments, again, we can go back and hopefully Booker will learn from Curry on how he led KD to his thing with Golden State and still remain as the leader of the team.

Booker should be the leader here because he is the franchise player, but he has to make sure that chemistry will exist as that's the only way that will give them a chance in the NBA Finals. They have been in the playoffs many times but Booker sometimes are not consistent because he is checked easily by their opponents, now that they have Durant who are a monster in scoring, they should be very unpredictable comes the playoffs.

That's a big requirement to satisfy him, well, I hope he will be healthy in the playoffs so he can sure go with that goal. Because without Irving, Dallas may still lose against a tougher team especially the Suns who had Durant already. I'm pretty sure, if the Suns and Dallas will meet again, Suns will surely take a revenge because they were embarrass last playoffs when they lose on their home court via blowout.

Whatever it is that he says, it would change eventually, either it will become bad or more better. He's been saying good things too when he left Cleveland to joing the Celtics, that didn't take long though then everything changed. He said things like he'd definitely be staying in Brooklyn too. One thing I've noticed about him is that, if things doesn't work out, he'll demand to be out of the team and get traded anywhere else almost instantly. 
If everything goes smooth with the Mavericks, then I guess he'll be staying longer, but it's just a matter of time, when everything goes wrong he'll most definitely going to do what he usually does, find his way out of the team.

A team has no choice but to trade Irving if he doesn't want to play anymore as he'll act unprofessional by not playing his best or worst is he will not show up anymore. So it's very crucial that the management has to ensure to give Irving his demand and help him build a good working chemistry for him to stay longer after he signs a max deal.

It appears that the majority of basketball fans are unsure whether Kyrie Irving will be with the Mavericks. I admit that Kyrie has had a lot of problems in the past, but he can come back and start over with the Mavericks, which is what he might do. When Luka returns, it will be interesting to see how these two deadly guards perform on both sides of the court. Kyrie has more experience than Luka. But Luka will probably play point guard, and Kyrie will have to make some adjustments. This is a big investment and if it fails, this will be a significant loss for the Mavericks.

Here's the information about the upcoming all-star game.
https://www.espn.ph/nba/story/_/id/35107493/nba-all-star-game-2023-location-schedule-rosters-news-more

Based on my understanding, there's an Eastern team and a Western team in which Giannis and Lebron are the captains respectively.
So from the name of the teams itself, it's the battle of the best in the West and the East, and since Irving was already transferred to the West, he should play in the West and his slot will be replaced in the East. The same goes with other players that are traded from West to East or vice versa.

Also, Durant will not play because he is recovering from injury.

If this is just a year of experiment that I wouldn't say it's a big investment, they can trade Kyrie and let Luka be the face of the Dallas Mavericks. That's how it should be and hopefully Kyrie knows that.

Again, we don't need another drama for Kyrie in Dallas, they are in a good position to make the playoffs already. They just need solid contribution from him. And so if the management didn't fine this marriage a good one then they can shift Kyrie next year again.

Lots of good things happening for Dallas right now, even if Luka is resting due to injury, their ranking is not affected, in fact, they are slowly going up in the ranking due to the 2 wins Kyrie had contributed so far. The pressure of Luka is now minimize, they'll certainly make it to the playoffs as Irving has a heart of a champion and he'll do everything to make Dallas a great team.

It could be the good thing that happen to Luka right now, another superstar is with him. Although before there was hype when KP was acquired by Dallas, but it seems that the two are a disconnect at Dallas and so they have to let go of KP.

Now the same position, but this time, it is much better player they got while losing Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith. So now, Luka can rest without over thinking of him wanting to come back. It's Irving that is carrying the team and it's really very positive acquisition for them.

[dwyane36]

I'll be rooting for this combination to work out, and I hope even more that CP3 gets his dreamed champion ring

Paul deserves to have at least one championship ring, but he doesn't have much time left. His current contract with the Suns will expire after the 24/25 season, and that's probably the last contract of his career because he'll be 40 years old by then. So it looks like Durant is Paul's last hope, although, as I said before, winning a championship won't be an easy task for the Suns.

[YuginKadoya]

Many of us here have the same concern. No doubt that they certainly one of the strongest team now but that could really stop their reign if one of them becomes injure. KD is injury prone and that's not going to change the fact that he might get it again.
I guess they can manage to take care of this and they'll also be preserving most of these good players that they've got in the team. And that is because they're anticipating that they'll be making it to the finals or if not, close to the next stages.

Kevin Durant is likely to be prone to injuries and he can not do something about it because of his age, likely players that are 30 plus years are more prone to getting injured, but the good part about this is when those 4 players have combined and can play in a single game make no mistake the odds will be higher and the eye for that team for it to win is surely huge, those injuries are not permanent to the players and players would likely be healed of their injuries, so there is a chance for KD to play for the playoffs or the championship if Phoenix Suns would not be handed down with the Luka Special or if they could make it Through,

Like it or not , Irving seems to have fun in Dallas and more than this , in his interview after the game he told something that I didn't see from him for A VERY LONG TIME. " I do mistakes and when I do them , my teammates are there to fix them for them and it's amazing" it's not word by word but 99% he told that and by no means , Sacramento is not an easy team to beat this year and they still did it. Also , when Luka is back from his small injury , I'm curious how they will swap position during in game because Irving also said that he is ready to give his best in order to give his teammates the best options available on the court during the game.

I really doubt if he's really telling the truth or not, he can say it to his recent teammates surely he can do it again, for me Kyrie Irving doesn't have any contentment he will be happy at the 1st run of the game and Luka Doncic was not there for the team, what if Luka Doncic was there playing what could have happened to the team, do you think he would share the spotlight with Luka Doncic, he was frustrated in the Nets because he has the same spotlight as Kevin Durant and Durant didn't mind at all he just wants to play basketball without drama or whatever, well for me if this happens it will likely be happening again,

[LogitechMouse]

If everything goes smooth with the Mavericks, then I guess he'll be staying longer, but it's just a matter of time, when everything goes wrong he'll most definitely going to do what he usually does, find his way out of the team.

So it's very crucial that the management has to ensure to give Irving his demand and help him build a good working chemistry for him to stay longer after he signs a max deal.

The nickname of Kyrie Irving is Uncle D. which stands for Uncle Drew.
For me, it has another meaning, and it's Uncle Drama . I mean why not. He's full of drama all throughout his career. From him traded to Boston, and saying that he will stay there, but just a few months, got traded to Brooklyn and then another set of dramas again until he is now on the Mavericks.

I guess the front office doesn't want to give Kyrie a long term contract knowing how bad his history is. There is no smooth or whatever when it comes to Kyrie. If he feels that he wants drama, he will do everything. He's one of the best if not the best ball handlers right now in the league, but his unprofessionalism is what makes teams hesitant to give him a long term contract.

I'll be rooting for this combination to work out, and I hope even more that CP3 gets his dreamed champion ring

Paul deserves to have at least one championship ring, but he doesn't have much time left. His current contract with the Suns will expire after the 24/25 season, and that's probably the last contract of his career because he'll be 40 years old by then. So it looks like Durant is Paul's last hope, although, as I said before, winning a championship won't be an easy task for the Suns.

The Suns gave everything just to get KD. That shows that in the next 3 years, the Suns will be chasing that ring because if they will not win a title in those 3 years, CP3 will be 40 at that time already and KD's contract expires and after that, I expect the Suns to maybe rebuild.

The Suns went all in to KD, and we will only know if it's worth it or not if they will win a title. I mean 4 all-star players who can't win a title? If they will not win in the next 3 years, they will be compared to the Brooklyn Nets where there was Pierce, Garnett, Deron Williams, Joe Johnson and lots of superstars, but didn't win the title.

Maybe Irving is just observing on what will be the outcome of their run in Dallas since if they go to finals or even win a championship with their current rooster maybe he sign a new contract with this team. Irving likes to win so most provably that this scenario will happen. But if they fail and got a bad drop out of contention maybe he pursue his like to go to Lakers and try to pair up again with Lebron since this is what he like at the first place.

That's a big requirement to satisfy him, well, I hope he will be healthy in the playoffs so he can sure go with that goal. Because without Irving, Dallas may still lose against a tougher team especially the Suns who had Durant already. I'm pretty sure, if the Suns and Dallas will meet again, Suns will surely take a revenge because they were embarrass last playoffs when they lose on their home court via blowout.

Suns is what Luka look up as a biggest opponent to defeat since they have Durant, CP3 and Booker which can deliver good performance according to their role. Suns is really a big problem since their rooster now is so deep so I guess other team also preparing for them since they are not so easy compare when Durant is on Brooklyn since they really have problem on chemistry and execution at that time.

This has turned into an interesting rivalry.  Even more now that both teams have received significant upgrades.  Luka has been dominating the Suns ever since he punked Booker in the playoffs and it's been hard to watch.  Now with KD and Durant added to the picture on separate teams in this rivalry, things are going to be on another level.  Surely these two will meet in the playoffs unless Golden State has something to say about it.  It will be must watch TV if it happens.  I think KD might give the advantage to Phoenix, but you never know when it comes to Luka.

We still need to confirm that because Durant failed to deliver on Brookly even if they are tandem with Kyrie. Durant is already not on his peak compared before so I’m now not that confident on the team he belongs unless he delivers already. He is monster when he is on GSW because his teammates is capable on carrying him on his bad game.

Booker and CP3 sometimes not that reliable if they have a bad game like what happened on last playoffs when they are beaten by Mavs. I think Nuggets and Grizzlies are more scarier than Suns with unproven Durant on their roster. They gave up a lot of there roster just to get Durant so I’m sure there will be a repercussions on this trade which we can find out once Durant play in actual.
