NBA Season - now 24/25
-
I don't know enough about the roster to know how this works for Dallas. AD is having a very good season, he'll give them rim protection and scoring. But he's injury prone and 30. I just didn't see this coming, although I did think trading AD was a reasonable option last season
-
-
the story keeps getting weirder. And the playing group look like they have basically quit given the DNPs and the effort today.
-
Also, had he shopped around, i am confident that the Spurs would have given all our picks for Luka. All of them.
-
I’ve moved from shock to be just fucking furious.
They didn’t even get all of the Laker’s picks! For Luka!
I’m furious that they haven’t put pieces around him to succeed, furious that they have traded him, abd furious that they didn’t set up an auction if they were going to trade him.
It seems that the GM was pissed and traded away the franchise player, with, let’s say 10 more good years of service and the ability to be MVP 2?3? times in that period.
Fuuuuuuuuuuck

Turns out Kidd didn’t know, Luka didn’t ask to be traded, and Nico only spoke to the Lakers
He could be lynched by Dallas fans. It’s borderline criminal to not even see what you can get in the market for a guy of that calibre
I’m lining up!
fluffybunny mustn’t have sat through 30 years of the Mavs being the absolute shittest team in the league. We may not win it all but we are a playoff team with an absolute star. This is (potentially) our third golden era (era is a bit strong, but best time since we lost Dirk) and this fucking just traded away the piece to build a team around.

read any Mavs board on the net and it's the same thing. They've turned comments off on all their socials!
Not only did they trade Luka without telling him, they called him a fat loser on the way out. He is going to ruin the Mavs every single time he plays them.

This isn't the first time the Lakers have been gifted a superstar on a platter
the history is fucking ridiculous
Wilt
Kareem
Shaq
LeBronAll traded to the Lakers for fuck all with prime years left. This is why the Lakers don't give a shit about draft picks, they don't fucking need them
-
They went out to get Kyrie when they could have lined up two 3&D guys to help on the wings and keep Brunson and we might have already been there!!!!!!!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Luka needs the ball and doesn’t play much defense. Let’s get another guy who hates defense and needs the ball. As a one-two punch it was fun but not a championship team without some starch on D.
-
there is a fair argument to make that this trade is actually makes both teams worse

50% of that is great, fuck the Lakers!
I’m prepared to bet though that this changes Luka, they just took away his bag (for like 3 years?). He’s going to fucking kill us and probably the league as revenge.
-
oof, the Mavs don't control their first round picks from 27-31
-
Have you guys seen the presser? The best comment is 'Kidd, blink twice if you are a hostage'
That fluffybunny says he doesn't care about the team in 9-10 years, he just wants to win now.
Well fuck you, you could have put the pieces around to challenge now and have us be a force for 10 years.*if we win it all and maintain as a playoff team, I'm prepared to take back everything I just said
-
the Mavs played the NBA finals like 7 months ago. This team WAS winning
I didn't watch the press conference but i'm reading the comments, and it seems like every time the GM opens his mouth it gets worse.

He can't make an argument, because there isn't one.
If they cared about defense, they wouldn't have brought in Kyrie.
And even if they did, they could have brought in defense around Luka.
AD is a very good player, but he's an injury magnet, so Luka's injury concerns are nothing by comparison.
And 'worried about a busy summer' due to Luka's contract situation, what the fuck are yo paid for muthafucker? You got some fucking fishing to do?Edit: This fluffybunny just wanted to take Luka's bag because he's pissed. Fuck em.
-
I absolutely get wanting AD. You add AD to Luka and Kyrie and you're probably favourites to come out of the West.
But giving up your best fucking player? And getting fuck all in return? When your draft capital is promised elsewhere?
I mean, none of this makes any sense when you think about it for a second. And you don't even run it by your head coach?????
