    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?

    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.

    And, that's not to start on what the Mavs could have gotten from the market if they'd made it clear that he was available to trade.

    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

    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.

    Bontemps (Hoop collective) said that Luka entered the season as the bookie favourite for MVP and has now been traded (secretly) before the trade deadline. That's fucking wild.

    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!!!

    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

    I can't like that post even though it is 100% right.

    Lakers get the attention for good fortune/arsey luck, but the Spurs have an impressive run of their own too. Mainly winning draft lotteries, rather than being the flame to superstar moths, but still.

    yep, won the lottery 3 times, which is equal third. More importantly we turned those lottery wins in to David Robinson, Tim Duncan, and Wemby. That's a pretty handy hit rate.
