    I thought this was real for like 1 second. It is a bit disturbing what AI can do.

    The problem here is he sold the team and promised everyone he would still be in charge. If he cared so much he shouldnt have sold the team, or at least sold it to owners who cared. Also he was the dude who hired Nico Harris in the first place.

    The new owners dont know anything about bball, said Shaq is one of the hardest working players in the history of the NBA. If Cuban had a conscience he wouldnt have sold it to those guys now he is on his high horse acting like it has nothing to do with him.

    LOS ANGELES—In the aftermath of a stunning trade that saw the point guard move from the Texas city to Los Angeles, a homesick Luka Doncic was reportedly spotted Wednesday gazing longingly at a photo of a barren Dallas office park. “Oh, to be back among those absolutely desolate and soulless business complexes,” said Doncic, explaining that he yearned to again experience the industrial sprawl of the city that prioritized uninspired concrete structures and highways over green spaces and pedestrian-friendly walkways. “Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate Los Angeles’ lack of any discernible character, and the similarly congested traffic has made the transition so much easier. But it doesn’t hold a candle to Dallas. The Pacific Ocean will just never compare to a man-made pond that’s been dyed blue.” At press time, Doncic vowed to someday return to Dallas to attend a dental conference at the downtown Hilton.

    Nico Harrison was simply following orders

    the owners threw him out there to get riddled with bullets while they escaped through the back door unscathed

    U think a GM would just make a move like that unforced? Nico just woke up one day and said “lemme trade Luka” and only offer him to 1 team? Seriously?

    All of that has been debunked already. Everyone knew. For example, it's been reported that the Mavericks talked to the Wolves.

    All of that is likely BS, anyway. This trade was made by the NBA for the good of the league. More than likely the NBA's newest television partners demanded a new star be put in place to replace Le40.

    Offer Luka to ONLY his idol Kobe's team and to his best buddy Pelinka for ONLY his favarite bball player AD? yeah

    owners and GM share the blame where it's 50-50 or something else

    they really thought they were creating a guaranteed "shor term" championship team LOL

    that’s the type of move a GM makes when their hand has been forced…if u can’t see that, Idk what to tell u

    Nico made very good moves last trade deadline and built a finals team, then he all of the sudden became the dumbest GM ever and decide to randomly trade Luka on a whim? Yeah, no

    Nico doesn’t actually believe he created a short term championship team with the trade he was forced to make, that’s just spin

    I would like to believe you, but then he traded Quentin Grimes for Caleb Martin.

    Caleb Martin is under contract for several more seasons while Grimes will be a RFA

    Grimes had been mediocre or below that everywhere he’s been prior to the tanking Sixers
