Also In hindsight, this kinda makes those bad Tilman days pale in comparison to what transpired now. In a way, i still feel lucky, looool.
This is like going to Cadillac dealership and taking your BMX Walmart bike for a trade in with no money down .
Dallas is the one who approached them and wanted AD for Luka. Its not their fault Dallas is stupid AF.
To be fair, if you're trying to list recent players who are DPOY candidates and can score 25 ppg at the same time the list would just be AD, Giannis and MVP year Embiid. I know a lot of what's reported is BS but if we're to take that at face value, they wanted a win now defensive big.
Mavs were the 7th ranked defense post-trade deadline with Luka, and the Mavs GM talking about he made this trade for defensive purposes we’re in a fcking simulation right now, this isn’t real
i'm glad david stern is not here to see this goofy **** your protegee turned out to be a dud. im sorry, king.
Mavs gm Nico Harrison has to strong ties to the LeBron James family. He Is like an uncle to bronny James would not be shocked if this trade was made at the behest of Nike. Who planted Nico in this position to get this specific trade completed.
Both sides won in this. Dallas didn't want to pay $345m to a guy who wouldn't commit to being in shape - so they get to compete in the last couple of years with Kyrie and AD. The Lakers get to now build around a superstar and twilight Lebron out of LA. Win win. DD
