NBA Season - now 24/25

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?????

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.@gt12 said in NBA Season - now 24/25:

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...

Stop it!!

The Spurs kinda made out like bandits on this one TBF
-
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.
-
And as much as you can laud smart moves by Buford et al (Kawhi being the best) those were three very obvious generational #1 picks.
Can't argue with the Spurs choosing the generational players,, but the Bulls were the ones who won the draft in 1987 (Robinson).
Krause was a fluffybunny, but at least he was a smart fluffybunny, unlike this fuckstain Harrison.

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.

Sure they got the Admiral and Tim Duncan. But their scouting was impressive, getting other guys like Parker and Ginobili, and of course Leonard

Ah I read he sold the majority stake to some casino magnate in 2023. Has no input into team management matters anymore.
Who knows, maybe AD is the missing piece. But if Dallas don't win it all within a year or two there will be no shortage of people happy to run Harrison out of town
