It's a shame the nba can't step in and block "for basketball reasons". I get the Mavs thought Luka playing out of the Harden book and showing up going "I'm a fat guy now, you should probably trade me but only to this team". That being said, Luka much younger when he did it and the trade value in the league is much higher. The Rockets also made a solid showing of shopping him around to boost the Brooklyn offer. Dallas could have gotten any player they wanted, including Lebron with exception of any no trade clauses (official and verbal). How did they not get Reaves?
I had turned off the awful game early last night and didn’t pay attention to sports news etc. so waking up to this is a shocker. Like a lot have said something definitely seems fishy about this trade. I don’t know what to think.
I get it now.... lebron wants to play with Durant.... To Phoenix: their picks back To Rockets: Luka To Lakers: Durant Lebron is gm of the century after getting a time machine....
The Mavs made such a bad trade that they made me actually feel bad for Mark f*cking Cuban, who has to be beside himself right now (for good reason)
As much as I used to hate Klay, I don't hate him that much anymore and if Dallas is making stupid trades, Rafael should make an offer.
It can be interesting how dominate Kyrie and Sengun partnership. As an old European League MVP two times, Sengun is accustomed and enjoys playing Kyrie type ball handling specialist and at the same time clever players... Kyrie has high basketball iq just like Alpi. Green, Cam and Eason for Kyrie.. sold on....
What would it really take for Kyrie & Klay? FVV, Reed, how many picks? Kyrie / Amem Green / Klay Brooks / Whitmore Bari / Tari Sengun / Adams My wet dream right now
He sold the team and took the money he can't complain. In fact he was claiming he was still in charge of operations so this move should have had his seal of approval
The Mavs are idiotic for their trade. Let's not pay a generational talent and trade for a big man who's often injured or falls down when the ghost of Nate Robinson breathes on him. Ugh...Kyrie is never going to be happy...he doesn't have the psychological wavelength to be content. We will likely stay put except for some small adjustments and picks, but: ***Just from some good "ears" not named Rich Paul (eeeww ) As I prepare for bed...A free bird soundboard continues to blossom. \. But, ears are rumbling with the free bird package that has echoed for years: Malcolm in the Middle with a coinflip of the Supersarr and Big Science has been in the background. Ime loves Malc' and the Temple of Doom from his days in the east, and we've been looking for some support for Alphi for awhile. And, if it comes down to it Feb 4th will show you a potential switch that Christopher Wallace's hometown won't be too sad about. I love Cam and Cam and Cam. Flip 2 coins in a sharp Day? Lastly, whispers of Pat at (not our Pat Pat) wanting out along with Dougie Fresh and Mr. Carter. (Early-to-late Deadline ears) And, Lordy Lauri...sending SOS for awhile. *But again, the 313 keeps calling. The Lebron-killer is not my cup of tea, but there are some good pieces for depth. Depth? Timberrrr ...the shingles are falling off like a conman roofer. Speaking of falling...Stone hates trading w/in conference, but watch out for free birds in the Valley: MM and Mr. DNP because Draymond 'Rick James" him into Sarver's purgatory. That's plenty until my spinal tap tomorrow. I can't sleep, so I'm grateful to pass the anxiety with what a few shared with me. Wish you well. Call on our friends and family--You'll never know when their timeframe doesn't match your expectation. Love and light. Cod
I feel you. Just remember, LeBron is not winning without a rim protector, and in the event this injury slows Superman Luka down, LA isn't going past the first round. Unless they can get Jimmy or another borderline star or sharp shooter, they only look good on paper. I just can't believe Mark Cuban is okay with this. AD...Luka... Maybe Luka or Giannis or something. AD? The man falls more than Embiid and he falls every time he unexpectedly breaks wind
