Still on the Heat, right? Just went through all their media day photos and he was conspicuously missing. Is it that bad?
I think he's technically still on the team. Lol. #11.

How'd you like to have this brainiac on your team?

Yeah, he is something.

Has anyone heard the Gerald Green's stuff from media day? Not as bad as this genius but he gave a lovely quote about helping the young guys and showing them, "The do's and the do-nots-to-do."

I like that. Marty, be sure to teach Evie about the do-nots-to-do. So much cooler than no-no’s. And teach her that a former Sun came up with it.

It's very refreshing to not have a knuckle head on the roster for the first time in a while. I'm putting guys like Waiters and Beasley in that same category.

So true. Chriss, Tucker, Morii were all knuckleheads in their own way. Very likeable team right now, even where we lack in talent

Because nobody cares bro !! :D :lol:

Seriously just like my twitter timeline, I expect to see a whole bunch of Doncic comments on here every time he does anything of note.
the irony is last night doesn't count as "anything of note" for me cause he was playing guys who not even close to the level of Euroleague. I like the kid and still want him do well as I think there is a certain level of ignorance being shown by folks who expect him to be a bust but Ayton is our guy and I like what I'm seeing/hearing from him and that's the main thing that matters to me 8-)

Doncic had some nice scoring plays, but he looks kind of fat to me. Is it just me? He looks big, puffy.

I care. I like Ayton and think/hopes he becomes the monster we need him to be. But Doncic could be a special player and it's not something I'm saying just based on last night's preseason game.

Imagine if Manu and James Harden had a baby. His name would be Luka Doncic.

Come on. His name would be Manu "Boner" Harden.

Impossible.

He plays with the kind of flair that is going to have him in the highlights every night.

DeAndre is our guy, though, and he's going to have a bigger impact on the court.

I had heard that he let himself go a little bit after finishing up in Spain. I can't knock him too much for it since he just finished playing a ton of games and he's still only 19, but I'd be worried about him picking up an injury if I were a Mavs fan.
