Crazy Details REVEALED About Grant Williams Trade... | Dallas Mavericks News 

Coming back to watch this is crazy

Gafford and Kleber and THJ, DJJ and Hardy truly give the Mavs a solid 10 man rotation.

As a Celtic fan (lifelong)..I celebrated the sign & trade this past summer. I argued with my Dallas cousins and uncles about Grant. I told them he's a Goofy oversized kid who cant shoot, cant create his own shot, no low post game, cant dribble, no mid range game and his defense has declined every year he's been in the league. I was done with him 2yrs ago when the Celtics beat Denver and the next game he did a interview fully dressed as Batman (for stopping the Joker)..However, Denver won the Chip at the end of that season. He acts like a tough guy on the court "I'm a make Bofe"..then like a little kid off it. He'll be playing in China in 2 years.

Dude said before the season started that he is a better shooter than Luka and that Luka is not even top 4 in shooting on the team. Man a fraud

The sneakers thing seems pretestuous. Unless he's paid to wear some specific shoes, he can wear any sneakers he likes, so long as thay don't impact his performance. I've always found Nike sneakers too stiff and uncomfortable, and I wouldn't start wearing them just because a famous teammate of mine has a signature model. Grant probably tried Luka's sneakers for a while for the sake of blending into the team, and they just didn't feel right. Now, his performance was below par and below expectations, with or without Luka's sneakers, and that's a good enough reason to trade him, but let's not make up bitchy, classless, nonsensical reasons to reinforce the argument. It's a sport: performance is all that matters.

A great take man, love your work

This is the first time I've seen one of your videos. I found it very well done, informative and entertaining and it persuaded me to subscribe.

This is my first time seeing one of your videos. Great content i subscribed immediately 👍

Good vid 🙏🏼

Really good video, thanks for sharing.

Subbd you got good voice for the mavs rooting for ya to get more subs

This commentary is 1000 times better then the other cats that have mavs podcasts

Knicks fan here. Came across your platform randomly and loving the way you did this. Keep up the good work, shoutout my jersey boy Kyrie. Always gonna support him

Great Takes! Subscribed.

With Grant's size, and skill set, he may be better suited to play tight end.

How are you only at 70 subs bro?? This was legit one of the best videos I've watched in a minute, and I look down to see 70 subs? Wild

Nice channel Marcel... I'm so glad things worked out the way they did. I agree that if Mavs got Kuzma, we weren't getting Gafford and then we really don't improve, we just logjam the offense

Hi Marcel, find your channel today just before the OKC game. Top info and very good analysis, hope you get to 10K subs. MFFL from Holland.

Glad we got Gafford instead of Kuzma Adding both Gafford n Pj moves will be better than any move for Kuz

you're very good. im shocked you only got 200+ subs. thought you as a veteran

Algorithm brought me here and I’m not disappointed

kuzma would be a big mistake

Doesn’t Hardaway wear Tatum’s shoe as well? I think if you’re contributing in a impactful way and you assimilate into the culture, you could wear whatever you want. Williams noticeable checked out maybe because he felt ostracized.

Grant has to learn to shut up and play. That mouth is getting him in trouble.

Love your knowledge bro cant wait to see how u reacted on that debut today this is epic shit man both those kids are humbled gentlemen that just wanna ball and grow and win wout drama this roster has infinite lineups now that can switch up starting lineups in crazy ways now depending on the opponent

I'd be willing to bet Luka preferred the dual acquistion of Gafford and Williams over the single acquisition of Kuzma. I believe the Mavericks will benefit more from the two players they got.than they would from getting Kuzma alone.

Pj is bigger, faster, a better shooter and can create his own shot. This is a HUGE dub for the mavs. Teams basically have to guard him 1v1 when luka and Kyrie are on the court

PJ Washington has a 7 2 wingspan is highly athletic and a 2 way player don’t shade him cause charlotte drafted him

so excited for daniel gafford

Dallas crushed the trade deadline. Blazer fans are pissed. Gafford & PJ were on Portland's wish list. Nope... Blazers are doomed to stink.

I hope they play today We need this win against OKc to show the West they better watch out for the new Mavs

As a celtic, I though grant started acting like Draymond Greene: Getting on the refs, Talking too much on court, Taking on other players on court. Ocassionally he will be on a hot streak at 3 (Game 7 ECF vs Bucks). He has limited moves to the basket and can guard slower bigs but against fast players is a dud. The one that irked me was when he tried to talk tough to Butler only to be burned and still yapping at the sideline without contributing anything on court. Plus he wanted BIG Guy salary for his product on court, hence the celts sent his ass packing.

what a first game with new boys;)

Wow, you should be co hosting locked on mavs, that's some great content right here

DOES THE "VIEWS" COUNT IF I AUTO PLAY MY SETTINGS ON RU-vid WITHOUT CLICKING YOUR VIDEOS?

This is the earliest I've subscribed to a channel 🤷

you give great takes bro keep grinding i just subscribed

Trading Grant Williams was bad he was a top contributor on the team and had his teams back.

If Kyrie or Luka want you gone, might as well pack your bags an say stepsister goodbyes. And reports are that Luka is extremely pleased and happy with the Gafford trade.

Gafford is balling rn . 8 points in the first quarter vs the thunder

Subbed

As a Hornets fan he's now on the team, Lucky me sigh.....

Not a Mavericks fan but the new line up is post season ready. I don't see why they can't go all the way

Gafford should probably come off the bench most of the time this year simply cause he didn't go through training camp with those guys. He for sure has more experience than Lively and probably is a way more dependent choice, but then again D Live has been playing like he's been around for a couple of years, simply cause they put him under that starter pressure and surrounded him with great players that help him grow and build a good chemistry. The more mistakes he makes now, the more he learns and so far he's been doing 11/10 for a rookie. They're always gonna try to foul him out, so the more he's exposed to that strategy the sooner he'll learn. When he gets into foul trouble, Gafford should step in, which will put the opposing team in a difficult position to reconsider. Construct the team rotation where the opposing team is choosing between a nightmare and a bigger one, like they did to offense with Luka and Kyrie. Nico did an amazing job with this move, at least on paper.

Dallas (Kyrie) fan here…I literally said before this trade, before w/e trade talks, that we didn’t need Grant Williams and we need to trade him for some big men. Great trade, as a Mav (Kyrie) fan we got exactly what we need, got rid of what we didn’t need, this was great.

I completely disagree with what you said about rookies on the team. Rookie contracts are by far the most valuable. Because you can have a very good player for cheap, and then the restricted agency. The key word here is productive. It is just a matter of scouting. We need to be able to find older players in the back of the draft who will be able to immidiately produce.

Im a celtic fan. Grants a decent defender, and was a good 3pt shooter till he went to Dallas. If hes not knocking down 3s at a decent clip hes unplayable though. Dallas got longer, more athletic n added some size n athleticism to they squad

Grant is strong on defense, former 2019 SEC player of the year, and was possibly the most effective scorer and defender coming off the bench, traded away from the Celtics. His problems are mostly work ethics and character. In college, he worked himself into a muscular frame like Bane, but slowly, as the years progressed as a pro, he became visibly chubby. Secondly, he became too comfortable on the bench as a Celtic instead of competing with his peers Brogdon, Smart and White. Thirdly, his recent shift in character to trying to be an enforcer like Draymond on the court is not believable or appreciated by his peers and fans. He needs to get serious with his cardio and lock in to playing good basketball without the gimmicks.

I think we finally have the right pieces in place. Now it’s up to Luka and Kyrie to show that they have what it takes to beat the Denvers and Celtics of the world. If they can’t then that’s just how it is. Sometimes people are just better no matter how badly you want to win. But with this roster, there’s no excuse.

To call a players choice of shoe petty is...rather, petty. Why does that even matter? I say just stick to the mutual feeling they all didn't care for each other.

Petty is a good word for him

What a downfall Celtics Mavs Hornets I guess I won't see him anymore

Mavs fans really welcomed grant and wanted this to work. He’s now at home in Charlotte with less pressure and still gettin paid. Besides, I could see a contender wanting him later. Glad we got PJ.

I'm glad we didn't get Kuzma, he is drama queen...

Grant Williams won’t shut up, and doesn’t have the basketball chops to talk as much as he does. It gets old after a while. As a Boston fan, his on court was fine, but I wasn’t sad to see him go.

Well moving on from Grant to Pj is a big upgrade n mistake forgotten.. Small oops for a great reward

Kuzma would have been a gem!

This is the end of grant Williams. He will get bounced in every team. He looks like me whenever he drives! Always on panic mode

If PJ can get his 3 percentage to 38-39% then we eatin. He’ll get more open shots here, so it’s definitely possible. Also why are people saying he’s going to play center? That’s completely out of left field.

Williams balling right now lol

Jimmy Buckets incident is still haunting him to this day

1:55 mad at the shoes he wearing is weird

What Casual is saying PJ is going to be our 5??? Wtf? He is def a 4 with a little 3 flexibility depending on opposition rotations sometimes a small 5 in our small man rotation on rare occasions, but def not going to be clogging our lane for us. The Casuals chirping about that need to learn the game first and foremost then they need to learn the players and their positions and skillsets before barking online like they are... 😂🤣

HOW BOUT THEM MAVS 🤠

I much rather have Gafford than Kuzma

I'm positive Williams daddy must be Charlie Murphy, look at that picture 😂

PJs athleticism alone makes his much better fit and player than Grant

What if he felt Tatum's shoe was more comfortable than Luka's? Why assume he's being petty? That's a reach.

I’d rather depth over a big 3 where no one will play defence

👍

Grand chose to leave Boston or was he traded?

dont get me wrong, I like Lively a lot but there is no way he should be rookie of the year because that spot is reserved for Wemby

The Labs Are Going To The Finals this team is locked and loaded.

Dallas was hating on Milwaukee not willing to deal Grant Williams. Now yall complaining about him

Tatum son was not rocking with his years ago 😢😂

Gafford should be a perfect fit alongside Luka. The bit about the shoes is weak tho. Men gotta stop caring about petty stuff like that.

Huh over shoes?? Got damn lol

Kyrie told him the earth is flat, and your traded

He’s signed to Jordan brand as long as he’s wearing Jordan i see no issue

everyone that saw Williams last game knows why we traded him.Throwing on purpose across the court turnovers. God forbid making an open shot.

Yal going to find out lol if you don't know about Pj. Yes I'm Hornets fan.

As a lifelong Hornets fan, you guys are overhyping PJ. Dude will drop 30 then for the next five games you never hear his name. He’s gone from Charlotte for not even trying to get back on D. Buyers beware. He will get you excited then break your heart. Seen it for 4 years.

If all of this started because of what shoes he's wearing I'm sorry but this is ridiculous, what are they? High-school girls ? It has to be more serious than that. Also, a friend of mine had luka shoes and he didn't like them and sold them

grown men quarrel over sneaker? That's worst than high school girls.

Hardaway also wear Jason Tatum shoes😂🩴

The only thing I dont like is that Grant Williams was a lock down defender I'm not sure PJ can lock up folks like Grant did

PJ Washington got a mean😡child support bill that 40 mill gonna come in handy

Tim Hardaway wears Tatum’s shoes. I don’t think there is anything there

Gotta get to the point my boy I'm falling asleep

They probably were talking shit when they got beat he brothers with the Cs for life !

Stop it over some shoes is a reach 🤦🏾‍♂️ wtf thinking about some shoes to say that’s what got him traded

Who cares if he wanted to where Tatums shoes. What if he was performing at a high level wearing Tatums?

Grant Williams was playing like trash. Point blank. If Williams was balling out and switches shoes, he'd still be with the Mavs

🌈

They should find a way to go and get Jalen Harris out of the G League.....

shoes... so petty

As a lifelong Celtics fan, don't listen to bitter Celtics fans Grant was sometimes annoying, but he was a beloved guy, sorta like that annoying little brother who really wants to prove himself. Grant is a good guy, but he's not worth the contract he's currently on imo

One thing i have noticed about Jason Kidd...... he likes players who buy into a system and plays as hard as he did! .... there's an attitude to the Mavs, top to bottom..... so, ready for PJ....

NBA players are so soft nowadays 😂

I cannot wait to see when Mavs and fans realize what PJ actually is. Fleeced us?! Ok Boomer! Enjoy that 32% from 3 and 34% on catch n shoot.
