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?????
-
and i am sorry Mavs fans, but geez a pretty boring sporting landscape really needed this story.
NBA head office walking around with massive, massive smiles today. It is Superbowl week and people are talking about Basketball

and where exactly is @ACT-Crusader for a balanced, nuanced and entirely too sensible take?

As a Breakers fan I can absolutely sympathise. We were top of the table before the owner self sabotaged our whole season by selling our second best player, who provided pick and roll and rim protection, against the wishes of the coach

I cannot believe that the Mavs did not get the other lakers pick.
The Lakers can go get a big man to help Luka now, using that fucking pick.
I just do not fucking get how that pick is not with the Mavs.They kept Reaves and the picks. Talk about a fire sale. I can't see how the GM keeps his job, surely he must have consulted Mark Cuban? Has he learned nothing since trading away Steve Nash?

Cuban has already said he is out of the picture.

oh, just saw a comment that reads pretty true. How good has the Lakers trade for AD proved? He wins them a ring, and then they flip him for Luka fucking Doncic.

well, now that trade value precedent has been set, i think fair compensation for Fox is the Kings also giving us 2 first round picks

Sure, but who fucking cares about this year if you're the Lakers? LeBron is on the way out (maybe sooner than you think), and then you've got $50m in salary back and 10 years of Luka!!!
I can't like that post even though it is 100% right.
WTAF you fluffybunny Harrison. -
The Kings got LaVine, 3 firsts and 3 seconds for Fox...
