    I love how there is no mention of Nico Harrison. The man drafted Hardy, did great in this years draft, signed ky while keeping the mle. The man deserves way more praise than what anybody is giving him. And he is not done yet.
  • @user-su5ko7hl1n
    Bringing him back was honestly the best decision for the mavs.
  • @Bobbytheman98
    My reaction is happy cuz ESPN is gonna be crying all summer cuz the he ain’t going to the Lakers.
  • @blackout07blue
    “played pretty well”?? Kyrie looked amazing with the Mavs. Dominant offensive performances nightly.
  • @urbaindelva7869
    There's no way the Mavs were gonna just let Kyrie walk after only half a season with him. $126 million is pretty high for only 3 years, but good on them. They got it done. Let's see what they do with the rest of the roster.
  • @GorillaboyTv
    The best situation for both party's. It was a win for both !! Love the way him and Luka play now they have 3 years to figure it out 💯💪🏿
  • It's a good move. Honestly, it's been mentioned before already, Dallas had Brunson playing with Luka and they found success. This will all boil down to the pieces they have around these two.
  • @Ant-Tee
    I like the move! They just need now perimeter snipers and a star center or forward
  • @stevenhuffman9032
    I’m amazed Malika didn’t throw shade at Kyrie. Maybe point out a shoplifting incident when he was eleven or something.
  • @user-ym3kw5qh4c
    they have no choice but to bring him back. you let go of Dinwiddie and Smith and then gonna let Kyrie go? no way
  • @givemethat2715
    Happy for Ky! Hope Dallas gonna add to Luka and Kyrie players that compliment them. Gonna be must watch TV
  • @JKing-bh5hk
    ESPN got rid of Jalen Rose on his birthday but they kept Malika smh…..Jalen should go to Undisputed and team up with Skip
  • @RitoPls
    When she mentioned "over a billion dollars in contracts already"
    The others were probably thinking "oh god please dont bring up the WNBA"
  • @missayawk
    Im glad for Bruce Brown.Dude has been a hard worker and real pro since he's been in the league.Good things come when you work hard.A ring and a bag!! Congratulations
  • Its a 3 year del with a player option he will play 2 years with mavs and opt out that 3rd year get another contract so good move by kyrie
  • @ericpapilayaTV
    Never thought Cuban really would do that 😮😮 goodbye mavs… Lukas career is on hold for three years
  • @Dmv1260
    Just glad it worked out and more glad we didnt trade away picks just for a couple games of service

    Am sure luka and irving will find a way to compliment each other's game
  • @ayadali9112
    Not surprised by this actually. I don’t know if NBA players have only played half a season for teams they got traded and then became free agents but I was like why only half a season with a team and then that’s it after being traded to them and why change teams so quickly yet again.
