This is ridiculous. You know, I love that Kyrie made this track because it just embodies his on and off the core antics. Because in general, I know the Grammys are tonight, and this track should already have multiple Grammys. Because let me tell you, this is a classic. But in all seriousness,

let's get into Kyrie Andrews Irving, description of his new teammate. Okay. I know and listen to you how much respect you have for Luca. What is it about him that makes him such a difficult cover? I think first we got to discuss just how long he's been playing professional basketball. So respect right off the bat. 15 years old.

So he's used to seeing so many defenses, so many different roles that he's highly regarded in the mind of Andrew Irvin. And now that he's in the NBA, I mean, you just see him. He plays at an incredible pace. Incredible. Even though I would say that Luca plays the slowest pace of basketball I've ever seen. But anyways, you know, we're getting into Cairo praising Luca, so let's focus on that. Decisions, most of the offense goes through him, and he takes his time a lot and he gets to the free throw line. So he definitely takes his time.

All the rules of the game of basketball and uses to his advantage and all the rest of the guys around him play the role. Maximizes all the rules of basketball translates into. Athleticism, it's lacking. I know that may be a reach, but for the most part, when you maximize the rules of basketball, it's because you can't really use your athleticism to kind of throw some of the rules of basketball to the side. You know, like sometimes, you know, if you throw a bad pass, it's just going out of bounds. But if you're throwing a bad pass to LeBron, he may just jump up there and put his elbow in the room as he dunks it. So that's how I interpret what he's saying right now.

So they're a good team and they're only getting better. And again, I'm glad we got to see. leave the only game better because you know who's coming. A team like this that, you know, down the line, the continuity that they have and the trust because they've been through certain battles, you can see it and they don't panic. All right, that's enough praise. That's enough praise from Kyrie. Basically, if you don't know what this whole segment is about after that long introduction,

the Brooklyn Nets have officially traded Kyrie, Andrew Irving to the Dallas Mavericks for some guys who play basketball. So for the most part, the whole thing about this trade is Kyrie is sent to the Dallas Mavericks instead of the Lakers, which everybody wanted Kyrie, Andrew Irvin, to go to Lakers, even myself included. But when you look at his tenure at Brooklyn Ness, nobody's really willing, nobody's willing to give him a long-term contract because of his antics off the court, of course, because it's on the court. I mean, he's just amazing, spectacular. the best dribbler we've ever had or ever seen, you know. So on the court is not really a problem. It's off the court, of course.

So a lot of teams are hesitant to give him a long-term deal. That's why you heard a lot of teams coming to the mix, like the Suns, Miami, Clippers. Clippers, I just think, came to the fray to try to spite the Lakers. Like, I don't really think they went to Kyrie, but, you know, that's besides a point. And the Mavericks are also sending, no, no, no, no. The Nets are also sending Marquith Morris, which I had no idea.

You know, the whole time I was looking at this, it was like, Kyrie's going to Dallas, and Marquis Morris is probably just reading the, what, they call him, the T leaves, and he's probably just like, man, what about me? Like, I play basketball too, but, you know, anyways, that's besides a point. And then Nannets also received a 2029 first round pick and 2027 and 29 second round pick. So you tell me what they're going to do with that because I have no idea. You can't really replace Kyrie, but you can replace the sanity that you lost by having a guy like Kari on your team.

So what I really wanted to get into is just breaking down the mix of Kyrie Irving and Luca Donkich. Donkich, I think that's how he said his name. I don't know. Anyways, Kyri and Luca, I feel like will potentially claim the throne as the as the worst defensive duo in the league because Luca doesn't play defense and Kyrie for sure does not play defense I mean he can in certain spurts but for the most part I mean for the opposing players it's probably

just going to be layup lines after layup lines and a race to see who can score 130 points the fastest because it's going to be an all-out scoring fest with whoever plays the Mavericks I know what Maverick fans are pricing because I looked it up. You know, I had to be factual with this whole analysis, right? So basically, when I looked at the Mavericks, which surprisingly, there are eighth in opponents' points per game, which basically means they don't allow as many points from the opposing team as most of the other

teams in the National Basketball Association. Now, the 30th and assists per game, which I honestly, that's the point, how that's the case when you have Lucas. but maybe because the ball is in Luca's hand so much, maybe that's why the whole team dynamic is more of Luca and him getting insist than the team. But, you know, that's a plus point. Points per game is at 24th,

which adding Kyrie Irving would definitely bump that up. But as far as the opponent's points per game, it's definitely not going to stay at eighth with Kyrie on your team. Now, as a Kyrie Andrew Stan, I feel like, well, Kyrie Andrew Irving stand, I feel like you may think I'm being harsh, on the whole trade, which I kind of am, because when a player specifically wants to go to a location like the Lakers and you send them to the Mavericks, it reminds me of the Kawhi

Leonard's situation with the Toronto Raptors. You get a rental for the sake of winning a championship knowing that potentially, not even potentially, he's going to leave in the summer. Even if they win the championship, he's going to leave the Lakers in the summer. I mean, who wouldn't want to play in L.A. out of all places. with the greatest of all time. So anyways, Luca, then I went to his stats, you know,

because I had to keep this factual. He's averaging 33, 8, and 8. He's almost averaging 9 rebounds per game, so it really is 33, 9, and 8. Kyrie, on the other hand, he is averaging 27, 5, and 5. So the mix of Kyrie and Luca offensively would be a nasty combat

nation to see because of course Lucas is going to be setting up Kyrie every three seconds. I mean a lot of people contributes or they compare the offensive part of Lucas' game to Harden and I know what you're probably saying that's

blasphemy, they don't even play the same, all that type of stuff but the amount that the amount of like the percentage with the ball being in Lucas' hands is very high. So as far as him not really letting others determine how the offense is ran. It's kind of James Hardin-esque,

and the numbers kind of prove it because the points and assists is very similar to what Hardin used to do back when he was at Houston. But now, when you look at Luca and Kyrie on the offensive end, I think it will work similar to when James Hardin was on the Brooklyn Nets, where Kyrie will willingly, because it's not like he has a choice,

let Luca dominate the basketball and just play off the ball as a shooting guard. Now, will that be convenient for him? Probably not. But that's how he played when James Hardin was on the Brooklyn Nets. He was like, you're the point guard, I'm the shooting guard. So you'll probably do the same thing here with Luca. How will that work?

I don't think it will. Because, of course, you have KD alongside Hardin and Kyrie to kind of offset the defensive lapse. But with Luca and Kyrie, of course, I don't know the whole Mavericks roster. So, you know, there could be some defensive lockdown on the Mavericks that I have no idea about. But every time I've seen the Mavericks in the playoffs, they've, well, for one, they do have the Clippers number.

But for the most part, when they run into the Warriors or they run into the Suns, I think they get sent home. Wait, no, I think they sent the Suns home last year. So I think it's whenever they run into the Warriors or they run into, is it the Grizzlies? It was one of those. Basically, the top teams in the West, I don't think is scared of this acquisition of Kyribay

and they stretch of their imagination, which is why I pulled up the standings for the NBA because of course we've got to have some type of picture when we're looking at the Western Conference. Now, do I think this acquisition of Kyrie makes them better than the Nuggets? Actually do. I actually do think the, what's his name?

The nickel, but his name, yeah, I can't say his name. But Jokic and Murray is not a better combination than Kyrie and Luca. And as far as a team, I feel like once you get into the playoffs, your superstars really tend to take over. So I feel like they could beat the Nuggets. So I feel like the Nuggets is kind of like what the Raptors were back in, what? Was it 2017, 2018 when it was the number one seed but got like beat by LeBron?

Basically, I feel like the superstars will overpower the Nuggets. Now, the Grizzlies, on the other hand, matches up really well with the Mavericks. So I don't think they're better than the Grizzlies. The Kings, I feel like it's another Toronto Raptor situation. where they play well in the regular season, but in the playoffs, not so much. The Clippers, I mean,

bro, I keep bringing up LeBron and the Raptors, but I think it's perfect as far as the equivalent right here. Luca has been dominating the Clippers for so long now. They might as well just call it the L.A. The L.A. Lucas, because every time they go out there, they just lose the Luka like he's just, like just Jesus was sneaking.

is on you know i mean so the clippers i mean for some reason they're just scared of lucca i mean it got to a point i remember one game lucca was giving a bucket so bad that one of the the big men on the team i forget his name but he called him something that he got i don't know if he got suspended or fined for but let's just say he said some um derogatory term he sent some derogatory terms towards lucca's way and it was pertaining to his race and that's how i'm gonna leave it at because that's how you know you just can demolish on the basketball court. When you result to name calling, hey, he just got your number. So Luca by himself can beat the Clippers, and I don't care who they have.

The sons, on the other hand, Luca definitely has Devin's number, Devin Bookers, and then if you look at number six, it's the Mavericks. The Warriors, on other hand, I honestly think Curry's been hurt too long to get a rhythm, and they're really struggling to be above 500, so I'm not too worried about them. and the only other team I'm worried about from eight under is the Pelicans at number 10. And I say that because you're probably wondering why I'm saying like a 500 team, maybe it'll be able to beat the Mavericks. But if you look at the Western Conference, it's pretty competitive from four down.

From the fourth seed all the way down, the what's it called? The differential is not as a high. It's like a one to two game differential as far as like going. from like let's say the 11th seed to the 4th seed like that's how close it is in the western conference in the eastern conference let me see in the eastern conference is more from the 6c down that's close and differential and not really because the 15 and the 14 seed well the hornets and the pistons have lost 40 games which i even know that was possible but um anyways because we're only like halfway through the season i believe and there's only 82 games like y i know how atrocious that is

like to lose 40 games but it is the national basketball association so That's besides a point. So now that I look at this, I could say that Dallas Mavericks is definitely a contender. I mean, I feel like that goes without saying, you know, it's not like I'm saying, oh, they just have no shot. But the Grizzlies and what's that I say? Wow. It's really only the Grizzles and the Pelicans. Yeah, the Grizzlies and the Pelicans, I think, is an overall better team than the Mavericks.

I know that may be crazy for some people, but I really feel like Jha and Zion is the future of the league. Now, obviously, Luca's there, you know, and obviously Jason's there, but he's on the other side of the conference. And then if you look at Booker, I mean, every time he's mashed up against Luca, I don't know what it is, but Luca just bullies him like a kid getting his lunchbox taken. So, yeah, so that's the whole standing situation. I can see Mavericks moving up. I didn't even know that it was at 6. That's pretty good. But the Western Conference is so close that these standings really don't matter unless you're like Lakers, which they have like 29 games.

29 games lost, and the next one is 39, and the next one is 40. So those are the three worst teams in the Western Conference. So those teams are just atrocious, which is why LeBron's probably throwing a humongous fit in the front office right now. Just, well, he's probably saying some unthinkable things to cheating bus right now. Let's just leave it at that. So anyways, the Mavericks as a whole, I feel like it can compete. But I feel like the Memphis, Grizzlies, and the Pelicans are a better team overall. And then also, what else?

So I got past the Dallas Mavericks, the NBA, Kyrie stats, Lucas stats, the season. Okay, yeah, that was basically it. That's all I really wanted to get into because as far as the trade, there's a lot of intricacies that go along with giving a pickup, right? Like, in general, now a lot of people know that Marquief Morris went to the Mavericks as well because, I mean, to be frank, I mean, they don't care. But Spencer Dinwiddie going to the Nets is basically like a reunion because I think they booted it. Not boot it. But they traded Spencer for, was it Katie? I think they traded for Katie.

I don't know. Somehow they got Katie. And they had to give away a lot of their young talent like Carus Lavert. I think they gave away Spencer Denwitty. I think they gave away who is DeAngelo Russell, I believe. They gave away a lot. But the first round picks is very interesting because it's in 2029. And let me tell you something.

If we get to 2029 and Kyrie doesn't have another championship to his belt, I'm going to be very upset because as a Kyrie stand, it's about, it's, it's about time. We get another celebration on the national stage. And I feel like it won't happen with the Mavericks. It could. I'm not saying it's definitely not going to happen. But it definitely could happen. But I don't think it will because I feel like the Memphis Grizzlies and the Pelicans are just really the face of it.

like Zion and John Morant I think will be to face of the league and if no they're definitely not now but but in the near future I feel like they will take over I think it would be Jason Luca John Morant and Zion I probably leaving somebody out who am I leaving out let me look on the Eastern Conference who am I leaving out I mean Janice is Janice like he's going to be Janice is like on a whole other level so who else yeah that's basically it yeah that's yeah I mean, Trey Young, I don't know what happened to him. I mean, I don't know if he just liked, I don't know if he just disliked his coach so bad that he started playing like trash. But, yeah, he's not, he's definitely not him.

So you have Jason and then you have John Morant and then you have Luca and then you have Zion. I feel like those are the generational talents, which like contradicts yourself when you have four generation of talents. But I guess the National Basketball Association is so talented these days that's like, you know, you kind of get what you. you get, especially with Luca moving like a snail and still averaging almost a triple double, like, I don't understand. But I bet it's very frustrating for, like, athletic people to go against Luca because the way he, like, gets past people who are super athletic with his, like, snail-like pace, it's just insane. Like, you really have to watch the way that Luca plays basketball, which is why Kyrie said in this interview, let me see if I can play it again, that he maximizes

the whole NBA rulebook. Like, hold of, let's see, Kyrie talking about Luca. right here. I'm sure overseas, and now that he's in the NBA, I mean, you just see him. He plays at an incredible pace. He makes great decisions. Most of the offense goes through him, and he takes his time a lot, and he gets to the free throw line. Definitely takes his time on all the rules of the game of basketball.

I think that's the key quote right there. Hold on. Let me play this again for y'all who missed it. So he maximizes on all the rules of the game of basketball. And right there is like one of the best. biggest compliments you can give to a player because I play Luca you just look at him like if you just walked into like a gym or something for open for pickup I don't think he's gonna like imagine okay imagine like Luca walking in right and that person like like Zion or or John Morant walking in

like who you're gonna take or like you're looking at the physique you're looking at them warm up flying you know hitting their head on the realm accidentally and you know what I mean who you who you're gonna pick up you know what I'm saying and then in the NBA it's totally different like Luca's just dominating. So, yeah, it's not going to be a love face for Luca. So I'm about to end this soon. But for the most part, those are my two cents. As always, I'm not as excited for this mix of talent because if Kyrie, James Hardin,

and KD couldn't get done, granted, it was in Brooklyn under Steve Nash. You couldn't coach at all. And Mavericks obviously Jason, Jason Kidd? I think it's Jason Kidd as a coach, right? I don't know. I can't. I don't think I have the Mavericks. anymore.

Who is the Mavericks coach? It's Jason Kidd, right? I don't know. I think it's Jason Kidd. But basically, I think Jason Kidd got their defense to a point where it's like night and day

from where he, before he took over. So, of course, he's a good coach. And he'll probably do wonders for Kyrie as far as helping him play defense like slightly better. Like, hopefully. Because of course, what's the name, Vaughn?

from Brooklyn Nets. I mean, he did an okay job coaching, but I say okay. They had like the best record when he came on. But, you know, I attribute that to Katie and Curry. So to wrap this up, basically all I want to say is the Mavericks are definitely in contention for the NBA finals. But my ultimate pick, as far as like,

if I had to give my mid-season pick, will be, would be, who's on the Eastern Conference again? I keep forgetting. Oh, it will be the Celtics and the Grizzlies. That's what I think is going to be the NBA finals. So my pick for the NBA finals is Celtics and Grizzlies. Now, I know y'all may disagree with that. Of course, for people who disagree, you know, click my link tree in my bio.

Make sure to message me on one of my social medias. And let me know, do you think that this trade for Kyrie Irvin to go to the Dallas Maverick, will end up getting Luca his first ring and Kyrie his second.
