CeeDee Lamb shared his thoughts on the Mavericks’ decision to part ways with Luka Doncic in a video posted on streamer N3on’s YouTube channel Wednesday, saying the move “killed” Dallas. “I ain’t gonna lie, they killed the city with that one,” Lamb said. “I wasn’t even expecting that. I don’t even know what time that happened, but I remember where I was when I saw it, and I thought it was fake. ‘Cause I saw it on a tweet and it didn’t have … it was just a tweet, just the words.”

With all due respect-did I just hear Richard Jefferson say on National TV that the “Jury is still out whether the Suns made the right call taking Deandre Ayton over Luka Doncic.…..Seriously? Ayton isn’t even with the Suns. I’m hoping RJ was sarcastic. – 5:32 PM

A small area Jaxson Hayes has notably improved at since Luka’s addition is the roll-and-seal technique bigs use when they read that the ball-handler wants to attack the rim.
This was a JaVale McGee staple for LeBron back in the day. It’s a quick read but very valuable. – 4:46 PM

The Lakers really missed Jaxson Hayes during their 4-game road trip, as JJ Redick detailed, with Hayes dealing with his knee contusion.
As the lob threat for Doncic, Hayes had 13 points in the 1st half today, and his length and athleticism on D helping limit PHX to 37 points. – 4:41 PM

….probably shouldn’t leave Luka Doncic that wide open. Idk. Transition defense (and just defense in general) shouldn’t rely this heavily on a rookie to be competent – 4:04 PM

Dirk Nowitzki: It was such a strange situation. I was standing in that empty stadium, and then he ran onto the court—in yellow. It was just an unbelievably bizarre moment for me. And of course, it’s going to take weeks and months before it starts to feel a little more normal. It’s a tough situation, but in my tweet, I made it clear—I will always be a Mavs fan. But this trade really hurt. And it will take a while before everyone processes it and moves on.” -via YouTube / March 17, 2025
Dirk Nowitzki: Then, there were reports coming out. Of course, I immediately texted Luka. At first, he didn’t reply—understandable, he was probably a bit overwhelmed. In English, you’d say he had a lot going on. A day later, he finally responded. I think he was pretty emotional. He didn’t see it coming at all. And then I thought, it would be nice if I supported him at his first game. He hadn’t played for a while—he was injured himself. So, I flew to L.A. I just wanted to show him that our friendship still stands. We played together for a year—my last year—and I always tried to help him, be a mentor to him these past few years. I wanted to show him that I’m here for him, even though he’s somewhere else now. That we have a friendship, that I’m still there for him and his family. His father was there, as well as some of his closest circle. -via YouTube / March 17, 2025
