February 2Feb 2 Was there really contention between the Mavs front office and Luka because of his fitness? imo who gives a shit if Luka isn't taking fitness seriously as long as he's producing. Nikola Jokic just won his team a chip a couple years ago and he's not exactly the most fit eastern european dude.

February 2Feb 2 In 2k, Luka is a 96 and AD is a 95. That must be how they came up with this trade package. They smoked dope all day while playing PS5.
February 2Feb 2 The NBA has officially turned into the WWE. Just storylines in service of their stars. In this case the Lakers.
February 2Feb 2 Just now, David Dennison said: Perk just said the Mavs won the trade. It's all good, y'all. that’s a guy with skins on the wall who analyzes the league for a living. safe to say he knows a lot more about the implications of this trade than anyone posting here.
February 2Feb 2 And Luka has done it twice in seven seasons (including this season b/c he isn't hitting 70).Even so, this is an insanely bad deal by Dallas.New Mavs’ owners not only suck balls at life, they’re not good basketball people either.
February 2Feb 2 Nico Harrison must still be working or going back to nike. Only reason that idiot would make that trade

February 2Feb 2 7 minutes ago, futureman said: he’s been having a good year? Yes - he's been phenomenal this season and last. He's the only thing holding the Lakers together. Which is what makes all of this even more bizarre.
February 2Feb 2 Give this one a month before you freak out Mavs fans. I think you're actually in a better position to win a championship then you were 3 hours ago.

I would never in a million years do it if I'm Dallas. Unless they knew Luka wasn't going to resign. I also think that the Lakers have a horrendous roster when it comes to fit for Luka.
February 2Feb 2 The silver lining in all of this is that there is still a chance that Luka just leaves the Lakers in free agency after next year and they end up being real shitty for a long time.
February 2Feb 2 3 minutes ago, Baboontyme said: I think you're actually in a better position to win a championship then you were 3 hours ago. Neither of them were going to win a championship this season and as of this trade that is still true. I guess - for this season - I like the Mavs a bit better now and probably liked the Lakers a bit better prior to the trade? But that's not how you evaluate the Luka part of this.
February 2Feb 2 I didn't see this as a bad trade. Luka was not going to carry Dallas to a championship. Last year was the shot. Luka is going to get paid and the contract is going to look terrible when Luka Magic turns into Fat Luka. AD is the far better defender and close enough on offense. Depending on how the team is constructed, either can be the better player. I expect the Lakers to come to their senses and void this based on medicals.
February 2Feb 2 In 2k, Luka is a 96 and AD is a 95. That must be how they came up with this trade package. They smoked dope all day while playing PS5. Correction. Even 2k laughs at this bullshit.

Even if that’s true he commanded more, like several consecutive top 5 picks, and they got nothing. Unforgivable.
February 2Feb 2 Popular Post Honestly, this is fucking sickening, it's puke worthy. These fucking new owners have no fucking clue what they are doing. They are gutting this franchise and this city. They do not give a god damn about this city. And they sure as fuck do not give a god damn about winning. Fuck every fucking member of that family.

You should never be listened to about anything by anyone for the rest of your life.
February 2Feb 2 AD will be THIRTY TWO years old NEXT month. He has 2 years left at 57m, 62m and a player option for 67m. It is literally insane to make this trade.

February 2Feb 2 They need to give all those Mexicans who are protesting in the Dallas streets, signs that say 'Fuck The Adelsons'

I get the freak out but let's put some respeck on AD's name. He's been a top 10-12 guy in the league this season. I think @Slacks went a bit far but I'm curious to see how this trade ages. Weird shit happens sometimes. Don't get me wrong - I hope the Mavs new owners and the FO are total dipshits.

February 2Feb 2 Jerry Jones: “I’m going to make the worst decision of any Dallas team owner in the metroplex” The Adelson/Dumont family: “Hold my beer.”
February 2Feb 2 how did this end up with the rockets ? The Houston Rockets own the right to potentially receive or swap the Dallas Mavericks first-round pick in 2029. Kyrie Irving will turn 37 years old that season and Anthony Davis will turn 36.

February 2Feb 2 there had to be better deals out there KOC and several others reporting that the GMs they talked to had no idea Luka was on the market.
February 2Feb 2 Just shut down the Mavericks now. There’s zero point to the franchise if they are going to make trades like this.
