[distant spoke]

he been fine

[junior haven]

[potent oak]

[abstract flame]

Mavericks gm are def slow in the brain

[torn ravine]

[honest verge]

i agree with
you

[torn ravine]

[ruby badger]

They have no picks and nobody worth Kessler

[torn ravine]

lol

[gritty dragon]

unironically who is the center for the lakers now

[misty isle]

I hope not but prob reaves

[honest verge]

he developed well

[ruby badger]

Hayes for Kessler is insane

[distant spoke]

They got Maxi Kleber

🗣️ 🗣️

[ruby badger]

I can see a reaves

[torn ravine]

he's a PF

not center

[misty isle]

Hayes

[distant spoke]

He’s like 6”11

good enough

[torn ravine]

7 foot actually

[junior haven]

More like who gonna protect the rim 💀

[distant spoke]

No he’s 6”10

[ruby badger]

Dude Luka-AD is wild by itself but Kleber-Luka for AD is the craziest scam in league history

[distant spoke]

☠️

[distant spoke]

top players in their positions

[ruby badger]

Name a worse one.

[misty isle]

It’s prob the biggest trade oat but idk

[torn ravine]

lakers just got two injured players

[potent oak]

Its definetly questionable

[static kelp]

lol

[ruby badger]

Arguably the worst. Fight me

[distant spoke]

SGA for Christopher Emmanuel Paul and Wemby

[ruby badger]

Mavs DM in shambles

[static kelp]

Both GM’s should be fired

[ruby badger]

lol what

[potent oak]

Chris Paul got that old head charm though

[misty isle]

Well Luca is actually active now not injured 💀

[prisma fiber]

Rudy Gogurt for every draft pick we could have possibly owned

[abstract flame]

Jokic for maxey

[charred storm]

LUKA

[distant spoke]

Taught SGA everything he knows btw

[ruby badger]

Amazing trade Rudy gobert carries

[misty isle]

They changed his injury status

[distant spoke]

Luka and Bron gon be killin

[prisma fiber]

😅 we're watching different teams this year clearly

[distant spoke]

Old man basketball

🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

There are major financial implications for Luka Doncic with this trade.

He was in line to receive a five-year $345M contract this summer.

Doncic is no longer super max eligible.

[wicked scaffold]

Y’all seeing this?! 🤯🤯🤯

[night badge]

Bro ong the lakers owner had to pay the Mavs BILLIONS dollars behind closed doors or something for this to happen

[lean ledge]

lakers got no center

[vital grove]

bro lakers got no center now

[brittle dew]

chat this a prank right?

[misty isle]

💀

[delicate carbon]

THIS IS the greatest trade in nba history

[ruby badger]

Greatest finesse*

[cold rampart]

they'll trade a bag of doritos for Embiid

[vital grove]

lakers cant be contending with jax hayes as their main center

[wicked scaffold]

Could you imagine if the Lakers missed the playoffs? 😭

[gritty dragon]

this is a terrible trade for both teams fire rob pelinka

[distant spoke]

Klay back at the 2 guard?

[night badge]

THIS Is the most confusing trade in nba history

[distant spoke]

ehhhhh

[misty isle]

Nah kessler will be a laker and for reaves probably

[junior haven]

He never left?

[distant spoke]

lakers don’t need a center 🗣️ 🗣️

[ruby badger]

Nah if the Doritos hit him he’ll tear his ACL

[distant spoke]

nah he’s usually at SF

[delicate carbon]

Yes

[ruby badger]

Honestly probs not

[night badge]

Like Luka and LeBron is not gonna work out, the defense is gotta be atrocious, like this makes no senseeee

[torn ravine]

bro they have hayes and trey

[brittle dew]

2025 not a real year no way💔💔💔

[gritty dragon]

dude they needed a center and now they lost there only good bigman there going to lose in the playoffs

[junior haven]

He back then

[night badge]

I’m glad Kyrie is gonna be the pg but like what is going on, this has to be some sort of scandal, I’m dreaming rn the nba isn’t real

[distant spoke]

the offense is gonna be insane.

[gritty dragon]

lebron bouta play center at 40 💀

[ruby badger]

They wouldn’t make it anyway

[junior haven]

Lakers got no defense now 💔

[honest thunder]

My takes aren’t god awful yet let’s goooo

[torn ravine]

if klay is sf it's cause usually dinwidde playing at SG

[delicate carbon]

We traded our defensive guard and ONLY center

[ruby badger]

Guys we should get “does the mavs GM snort crack” to the top search on google

[distant spoke]

Lakers turned into The Warriors

[night badge]

I’m telling you Luka is NOT gonna play like he was in the Mavs , the whole team was built around him, it’s gonna be a Damian lillard 2.0, but this trade just doesn’t make sense

[potent oak]

Spurs give Lakers Collins I see it now

[distant spoke]

small ball baby 🗣️ 🗣️

[junior haven]

Mane thought they were in talks to finally move him back to pf and get a rim protecting C

[honest thunder]

Apparently luka didn’t even request a trade, apparently he didn’t even know

[floral cairn]

Wait laker traded nothing Davis ?

[delicate carbon]

FR

[gritty dragon]

dude they got the best pg when healthy

[vital grove]

they got no center bro

[distant spoke]

JJ Redick might be a good coach?

[vital grove]

still aint lookin good

[floral cairn]

Omg I am in heaven rn

[distant spoke]

☠️

[misty isle]

They will trade for kessler

[safe stratus]

one of the weirdest trades i have ever seen

[gritty dragon]

thats not what i said lil bro

[honest thunder]

Someone check on Kyrie, he gotta be going through it

[vital grove]

just get wood and reddish off my team

[delicate carbon]

Fr

[misty isle]

The most likely scenario is them trading reaves (my goat) for kessler

[distant spoke]

ew

[night badge]

JJ can’t even handle LeBron by himself, dealing with him and LUKA is gonna be atrocious

[honest thunder]

The mavs really traded the man that led them to a finals appearance for a bag of peanuts, a ten dollar bill and an opened can of monster that’s been sitting in a car in the middle of summer

[floral cairn]

But how and why did they trade Anthony Davis ?

[vital grove]

hell nah not ma man reaves

[distant spoke]

I’d rather trade Vanderbilt

[misty isle]

I don’t want them too but they prob will

[ruby badger]

Shams Charania: The Mavericks approached the Lakers recently and offered Luka Doncic, sources tell ESPN. Lakers brass met and believed the 25-year-old Doncic has the ability to be the face of their franchise for the next decade while giving Anthony Davis a win-now move in Dallas.

A WIN-NOW move???? We need to send a welfare check on the mavs gm

[misty isle]

Rob pilinka is on drugs

[distant spoke]

they kinda need Reaves

[potent oak]

Win Now is crqzy work

[distant spoke]

Can prob handle Luka

[junior haven]

They can let go of reaves now that they have luka

[distant spoke]

not bron bron tho

[junior haven]

They might trade reaves for a center

[floral cairn]

so is it just Luka and Anthony Davis straight up?

[misty isle]

I hope not maybe a 6th man role and trade lower end guys for kessler

[potent oak]

No

[floral cairn]

Who did we va e up up?

[potent oak]

Some other players and a pick idr who

[junior haven]

Ain't no more happiness and sunshines on this b

[floral cairn]

Bro as a laker fan I’m excited

[misty isle]

2029 frp, ad, max christy

[distant spoke]

💔

[floral cairn]

But i know LeBron and Luka gonna be hard to to play together

[misty isle]

[ruby badger]

27 GMs just found out Luka was on the market

[misty isle]

For what tho?

[honest thunder]

They’re both really ball dominant tho, I’m interested to see how that will play out

[honest thunder]

They could have gotten SO much more for luka

[potent oak]

For free ig💀💀

[misty isle]

Yeah

[vital grove]

yo why they be sayin bron gon get trade

[floral cairn]

LeBron needs the ball in his hand 24/7 every ball dominate pg we had with LeBron never play well with him

[distant spoke]

bron only ball dominate cuz the team sucks 😭

[vital grove]

ma king aint goin no where

[junior haven]

What if luka plays like lakers westbrook in the lakers?

[misty isle]

He didn’t ad did

[floral cairn]

Exactly it not gonna work out

[hexed grove]

Oh hell yeah time so see my personal fav player on a team with one of the goats cant wait🤩🤩🤩

[distant spoke]

Kyrie??

[brittle dew]

ik luka's defense was trash but bro as a mavs fan im devastated💔

[distant spoke]

he’s just rockets harden 2.0

☠️

[junior haven]

Bron gonna play more offball and they gonna let luka control like reaves did

[honest thunder]

The mavs could have gotten so much more for luka im not even a mavs fan and im in tears

[oak solar]

ad with the mavs might be tuff he got derick lively and dg next to him

[ruby badger]

LeGM finding out the Mavs GM was high enough to accept https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/888525489575198800/1335490716205318185/image0.jpg?ex=67a05c26&is=679f0aa6&hm=10a2bc5db1e5b87284e49e48c0d62801abb2726775b496404da80fca1ad4c5a8&

[brittle dew]

mavs didnt NEED AD at all imo smh...

[brisk crater]

did luka actually get traded cause wtf

[floral cairn]

Bc Kyrie is a better scorer then the other pg LeBron played with

[night badge]

Crazy theory Luka did somETHING CRAZY ILLEGAL, told the team, Mavs panicked, quick traded and finessed, like basketball related this trade makes no sense, something is getting investigated bro this isn’t basketball related no way

[distant spoke]

They got ate in the finals cuz of bad rim protection

[potent oak]

Nah they need a better center lol

[delicate carbon]

Alright bro

[honest thunder]

POV: every mavs fan on planet earth rn:

[distant spoke]

AD is gonna be at PF on the Mavs

prime AD

[ruby badger]

Tuesday’s set is Surpise!

[brittle dew]

[brisk crater]

espn just posted but idk if its oficial

[vital grove]

ngl i feel bad for ad he never wanted to leave he just need a center

[ruby badger]

Tuesday’s set is Surpise!

[distant spoke]

We need another big. -Anthony Davis

[oak solar]

traded his ah when he asked for a center

[brittle dew]

but ultimately lakers lost this trade coz their frontcourt just got weaker and their perimeter defense with luka boutta be cooked...

[vital grove]

fax they lost christie too

[brittle dew]

offense will go crazy tho

but its only 2 ppl

[floral cairn]

That true I’m hoping finally LeBron can play number 2 or 3 option

[ruby badger]

They said nah you can have a center on this other team

[distant spoke]

obviously now he has 25 year old pure scorer at his side

[errant jetty]

Mavs 2 best players are both over 30 now though

[honest thunder]

AD, I love you buddy, but the team that went to the finals last year is now in struggling to be a play in team…

[oak solar]

the lakers have to make another trade no they leave a gap of defense like that out

[errant jetty]

It’s ridiculous on their side because the team is built so well for Luka

[oak solar]

max and ad

[night badge]

Bro offense is not going crazy do yall not understand Luka is IN need of a big man and shooters around him, NOONE ELSE??? this trade is not basketball related im telling you, something behind closed doors is happening

[brittle dew]

this trade will be the turnin point....

[potent oak]

Theres some definite trades they can make

[honest thunder]

For the mavs fans sake god I hope so

[errant jetty]

Most of the team is injured

[brittle dew]

doesnt make sense how they traded luka coz he cant stay healthy then get AD...

[misty isle]

It’s for the lakers future after LeBron

[errant jetty]

It’s the most ridiculous thing ever

[tawdry notch]

He asked to leave

[honest thunder]

AD is a lot as well tho, his knees are fragile

[ruby badger]

LeBron/bronny for wemby is next

[night badge]

Well Ggs to Lukas career, they got bums around him , he is not going far

[floral cairn]

It such a random trade it just came out of no where

[fiery whale]

This is crazy man

[potent oak]

Lebron prolly done after this year, they need to keep some power atleast😂

[fiery whale]

Never in my life would I have saw the day

[floral cairn]

Lakers fan are winning tn

[brittle dew]

nah luka can carry a team u seen that team he got to the playoffs in the bubble?

[misty isle]

Ik they need to buy their picks back or wizards picks

[honest thunder]

The mavs could have gotten the entire wizards roster for luka (jk)

[misty isle]

Prob

[honest thunder]

They could have gotten the coaches shoes right off his damn feet while they’re at it too

[brittle dew]

lakers in the next 2 yrs tho gon just consist of luka and the rest of nobody's in flights voice

[misty isle]

It looks so wrong

[distant spoke]

they got alright shooters

no bigs tho

[floral cairn]

So is Luka and LeBron the best duo right now?

[honest thunder]

POV: the mavs when asked who is gonna help Kyrie

[torn ravine]

dinwidde and klay

[misty isle]

Nah this funny bro I just did a lakers rebuild on 2k the other day and got Luka in FA

[distant spoke]

Dindiddy?

[floral cairn]

Kyrie and ad a good duo ?

[honest thunder]

Klay ain’t what he used to be tho

[ruby badger]

Set Tuesday is Surprise! Headlining AD and Luka
GOs are Jalen Hood and whoever else

[night badge]

guys I’m telling you this isn’t basketball related, out of any teams in the league they trade him to the LAKERS? No rumors or anything just randomly happening on a Saturday night? Crazy things are happening bro I swear

[brittle dew]

crazy part is the lakers was just chillin and got offered a whole luka doncic they prolly thought it was a prank fam💀

[junior haven]

Hol up man, don't you think jaxson hayes can turn into a functional and reliable big man like how luka made lively look good

[honest thunder]

Could work, provided AD stays healthy

[distant spoke]

Lively is like 7”2

☠️

[honest thunder]

Trade Draymond green to the UFC for Tommy fury

[floral cairn]

Plus ad don’t gotta play C any more

[misty isle]

Lively is worlds better than Hayes

[junior haven]

Where'd you get that

[misty isle]

He is like 7+

[junior haven]

The luka effect

[night badge]

That’s where this doesn’t make sense, they got all the pieces Luka needed to succeed, made it to the finals last year and now players like lively aren’t gonna play as well now he’s gone, I’m just saying this makes no sense

[honest thunder]

But is he used to playing power forward tho? Like if he can do it I can see it working

[distant spoke]

I know he’s like 7”0+

P sure he’s 7”2?

[junior haven]

7'1 at most

[distant spoke]

same thing

[junior haven]

7'0 on most sites

[distant spoke]

[brittle dew]

Kai and AD got potential and they surrounded by hella talent

[distant spoke]

Never even heard of Trey jeofkmin

[misty isle]

Btw the lakers WILL trade for kessler

[floral cairn]

Jaxson Hayes is good C for the lakers

[torn ravine]

koloko and hayes are both 7 foot

[honest thunder]

It’d be good for him to get back then, and Kyrie can just get it to him if need be, but I still can’t get over them trading luka for him

[static kelp]

FRRR

[junior haven]

Trey jemison bro, mf has only one finish in his bag 😭

unfortunately (fortunately for mavs fans) we can only dream about it

[normal sable]

potato potato

[night badge]

At this point I believe LeBron might get traded, like the lakers prob didn’t NOT know the Mavs were doing this trade at all, so now the lakers have to decide to build around him and they might trade lebron for pieces for Luka

[whole grail]

lebron to the warriors 😂

[normal sable]

Bron probably planned his retire

[whole grail]

most definitely

[unique apex]

No way they trade bron

[brittle dew]

this makes sense

[red idol]

Nobody knew except the gms

[whole grail]

him and steph are gone after this season

[night badge]

Like I’m gonna wake up to a lebron trade announcement and this point anything can happen

[floral cairn]

Max 💔

[red idol]

LeBron probably mad too

[unique apex]

Bronny would be banished from the league

[whole grail]

ong shut up

[junior haven]

They we're alright pre-trade, they could win now had they made a different trade

[normal sable]

Send LeBron to Cavs for like mobley

or Allen

[versed sluice]

No

[whole grail]

this ain’t crazy to say

[normal sable]

and then u have a solid team and LeBron can retire in Ohio

[floral cairn]

Would your rather keep max or Gabe Vincent ?

[whole grail]

trade both tf 😂

[red idol]

Old head that has a chance for DPOY this season

[junior haven]

Might need like half of the core for that gang 💀

[brittle dew]

that would be dumb...

[normal sable]

well no because Wemby exists

[distant spoke]

traded Brunson and Luka

[unique apex]

Atp trade draymond, buddy hield and a few firsts for bron but you gotta play bronny 15 min a game

[distant spoke]

💔

Mavs fumbling

[unique apex]

Required

[red idol]

Well i didnt say his chances are big

[honest thunder]

Someone gotta be getting fired istg

[normal sable]

nah lowkey I was at work when I heard the news and crashed tf out

as a Mavs fan

[floral cairn]

Max is way better than Gabe he becomes a starter for us then you gonna let him go when he help us win in couple of these games

[normal sable]

had to take a mental health break

[crimson pulsar]

i'm deadass in tears

[whole grail]

they are terrible at trading

[normal sable]

At least they didn’t trade Dirk

Nah tbf Luka prob wouldn’t of reaigned

[crimson pulsar]

laughing how at how bad that trade is

[brittle dew]

same lucky ish is expensive coz whole house woulda been destroyed

[whole grail]

lebron to the warriors 👀

maybe

steph and him can go for one more ring together and then dip

[normal sable]

Lowkey what is LeBron even worth

[red idol]

What da hell https://x.com/legionhoops/status/1885927467023794192?s=46

Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops) on X

Mavericks GM Nico Harrison on trading Luka Doncic:

“I believe that defense wins championships.”

Cold.

X · Feb 2, 2025, 5:45 AM

[whole grail]

a lot ngl

[normal sable]

Nah he has a better chance at a ring with Luka

[night badge]

That’s what I’m saying the Lakers GM didn’t expect this at all, and they can’t deny someone like Luka through a trade, and now are prob questioning what to do next and LeBron being how old he is might get traded

[brittle dew]

lakers cant be happy wit this coz keep in mind luka injured rn yall record boutta be in shambles

[whole grail]

ur buggin

[night badge]

Im telling yall lebron might get traded too, Lakers GMS we’re not expecting this trade at all and now need to make some moves around Luka, they would prob trade elderly lebron for pieces for Luka rather than lose him to retirement and not gain anything from him.

[oak solar]

wtf😭

[normal sable]

Lebron Luka AR Rui Bult

bolt

[oak solar]

dude just told luka that he the problem

[brittle dew]

ian even gon lie this is cold

[floral cairn]

But max is can do much more then Gabe like why

[normal sable]

wait that’s why Luka in fantasy decided to not play today

he extended his injury by 2 days

[whole grail]

Lebron, steph, draymond, kuminga, TJD

[brittle dew]

and just like that the mavs-luka rivalry begins...

[oak solar]

luka bouta break 81

[normal sable]

Draymond would literally sleep in LeBron’s bed

[honest thunder]

Let the beef begin

[whole grail]

😂

[normal sable]

Draymond would literally actually go insane if he had LeBron as a teammate

[whole grail]

i hope so that will be electric

[brittle dew]

that luka trash talk to the mavs bench after a corner three finna hit like crack

[normal sable]

Tbf LeBron did say that Luka was his favourite player

[whole grail]

exactly draymond would be good

[night badge]

Here’s a theory and SCREENSHOT THIS IF IT HAPPENS, they trading LeBron for a star big man, guaranteed

[red idol]

Weird cause jeez, theyre playing good this year and what happens with bronny now

[whole grail]

he also said he wants to play with steph before he retires

[normal sable]

that is a confusing dilemma

[red idol]

Like his goofy ahh didnt play with him at olympics

[honest thunder]

You already know he’s gonna be mean mugging the mavs bench the entire game

[whole grail]

not the same kid

[brittle dew]

luka,fluka or a duke mavs in 6

[crimson pulsar]

i would too 😭

[red idol]

Hes not winning the ring

[junior haven]

Bruh luka is injured rn so laker fans gotta stay strong again 💔

[whole grail]

[floral cairn]

This got more buzz then whole wnba trade this offseason and even their blockbuster trade

[brittle dew]

[whole grail]

[night badge]

They wouldn’t keep an old LeBron and lose him through retirement, they are fully committed to Luka I promise yall

[normal sable]

I think LeBron just retiring

[red idol]

Nah lebron is waiting for the other lenut to join

[crimson pulsar]

[night badge]

At this point LeBron and bronny to golden state for like draymond Looney and kuminga

[normal sable]

[crimson pulsar]

[night badge]

That boy Luka probably asleep not even knowing what happened

[crimson pulsar]

[red idol]

I like Luka but he’ll be stuck in that hellhole for years

dumb trade for the mavs

[junior haven]

Time to rewrite the greatest maverick pf

[sinful rain]

Your just wrong

[tardy bison]

luka is better than ad when healthy and younger

[crimson pulsar]

bro tweeted about locker room beef instead of what actually just happened

[tardy bison]

controversial trade

but kyrie and ad is gonna be insane either way

[sinful rain]

AD plays like an MVP with good centers around him and he Mavs have that

Fr

[tardy bison]

so so luka and bron

[sinful rain]

Jaxon Hayes starting center

[tardy bison]

2 great offensive players and passers

[crimson pulsar]

[tardy bison]

https://tenor.com/view/horse-horses-swim-swimming-gif-21865692

[sinful rain]

Jazz

[tardy bison]

apparently dfox is getting traded

[sinful rain]

Just throw him to the lakers too at this point

[tardy bison]

spurs

[sinful rain]

FR

[tardy bison]

wemby + dfox

[static kelp]

It’s a lose lose for everyone

Only person that won is AD

[sinful rain]

The hornets should get Stephon castel

Fr

[tardy bison]

the luka ad trade is just injured for injured basically

[static kelp]

Nah spurs are using him as they’re young core

They finna be deadly in a couple years

[sinful rain]

Nuh uh

[tardy bison]

[tardy bison]

[shut needle]

[static kelp]

It’s confusing asl

[sinful rain]

WRONF

[tardy bison]

They both lost

Only person that won

[sinful rain]

Mavs are going to the finals dawg

I need to restate

[shut needle]

[tardy bison]

[sinful rain]

Jaxon Hayes ☠️

[static kelp]

😭 some random

Hayes bingo

[tardy bison]

lakers gotta trade for tingus pingus

[sinful rain]

Austin reavers at C

[static kelp]

That’s what I’m saying

[tardy bison]

nahhhh they gotta trade for

[static kelp]

Or if Kyrie was open to it somehow fit Kyrie, LeBron and AD on the same team

But that’d be too expensive

[tardy bison]

guerschon yabusele

[shut needle]

yea

[sinful rain]

Adem Bona

[shut needle]

gang hear me out

[wild canyon]

Is this real

[shut needle]

[sinful rain]

Ok have good days

[tardy bison]

i think lakers actually won the trade

[shut needle]

whos gonna be the new face of the nba

[tardy bison]

young for ild

old

[static kelp]

True

But that would make more sense

If there power forward wasn’t on the verge of retirement

😭

[shut needle]

and lebrons abouta retire

[static kelp]

Frl 😭

[tardy bison]

bro this trade aint even that big

compared yo

If anything I’d get rid of LeBron

And get Luka or smth

Or someone cracked

[shut needle]

[static kelp]

From this generation

[tardy bison]

nick richard to the suns 🔥🔥

[static kelp]

[static kelp]

lol

[shut needle]

gang i tought it was fake

[static kelp]

This is a very interesting new state the leagues in rn

[tardy bison]

[mystic anchor]

stunning trade in nba history

[tardy bison]

most shocking trade was nick richards for some bum

[wild musk]

Luka will be the face of the Lakers for the next decade

[mystic anchor]

nah but the lakers on 2k are stacked

[wild musk]

James Harden didn’t win 💩

[oak solar]

https://tenor.com/view/shh-quiet-silence-hush-dont-talk-gif-13851022

[tardy bison]

myles turner to pacers

fire trade

[fluid lantern]

ight as a lakers fan idk how to feel

[tawdry notch]

You've lost AD which

Is obviously a blow

[tardy bison]

injury for injury bro

[fluid lantern]

we got an mvp but now we need a center

[tawdry notch]

But your franchise has basically been guaranteed a play in spot for the next 5 years

Assuming Luka stays until 30

[tardy bison]

i swear they have to get porzingis

that would be so good

[tawdry notch]

Tbh I would have

Traded AD the year Bron leaves anyway

[fluid lantern]

lebron and luka is the most diabolical duo ever

[tawdry notch]

I just didn't expect ad to be traded this year

[tardy bison]

trade lebron for porizingis and payton pritchard

[tawdry notch]

I don't think they can really afford Porzingis

Like

At most you've got

[fluid lantern]

they need like a rim protector

[tardy bison]

wemby

[tawdry notch]

Reeves and Gnect that you could get something with

[tawdry notch]

I was thinking maybe vucevic

[tardy bison]

hell no they are not getting wemby

[tawdry notch]

He wouldn't take too much to trade for

[tardy bison]

lopez??

[tawdry notch]

Maybe

[fluid lantern]

ehhh

[tardy bison]

anyone but that bum starting center

[tawdry notch]

But Chicago is already open to offers for Vucevic

[fluid lantern]

how much do the nets value claxton

[tardy bison]

50m??

[tawdry notch]

Nick's will make any trade that helps them tank

Oops

Nets sorry

They want Flagg

[tardy bison]

nah they aint getting him

[tawdry notch]

They could

[tardy bison]

wizards are like 6 -42

[tawdry notch]

The past 5 years the team with the worst record hasn't gotten the #1

Or it's 4 idk i can't remember

[tardy bison]

its criminal if the wizards dont get it

[fluid lantern]

maybe walker kessler or goga bitadze

[tardy bison]

wemby and flagg is gonna be a rivalry

or flagg and ace bailey

[tawdry notch]

Eh

[night badge]

At this point trade wemby to the Celtics for Payton Pritchard and porzingis

[fluid lantern]

wembys rival is chet

[tardy bison]

nah

[tawdry notch]

Again eh imo

They don't view eachother as rivals

There's no

[tardy bison]

spurs could trade castle and some picks to the kings for fox

[tawdry notch]

Blood or beef between wemby and literally anyone

At most

[fluid lantern]

that wouldnt be that bad

[tawdry notch]

He's got it out for team USA

He did say the Olympics loss greatly upset him

[tardy bison]

mccain can no longer win roty

[tawdry notch]

I would like it

[tardy bison]

65 games rule 😔

[tawdry notch]

My king

Luka can't win mvp either

[tardy bison]

we wasnt going to

jokic

[tawdry notch]

Yea it's wembys this year

[tardy bison]

maybe

[tawdry notch]

Jk it has to be jokic

[tardy bison]

i like the spurs

thats my team

[tawdry notch]

Wemby will be

[tardy bison]

next year?

[fluid lantern]

i still think shai

[tawdry notch]

DPOY this year

[tardy bison]

HELL NO

[tawdry notch]

Jokic is putting up better stats

And Denver is no longer a bad team this year

[versed sluice]

Spurs ain’t trading castle

[tawdry notch]

They're 4th in the conference now

[fluid lantern]

true but they count team success a lot

[tardy bison]

jokic is having the best statistical season oat

[fluid lantern]

thunder are ballin

[tawdry notch]

Yea and Denver is also balling

Now as well obviously but

[tardy bison]

if denver wins the chip this year jokic will have had the best season oat

[tawdry notch]

Yea this

In terms of statistical performance

He's already had the greatest season of all time

BB heads just value chip and mvp loads

[tardy bison]

jokic got like -1000000 odds to win mvp

[tawdry notch]

This year I mean

[tardy bison]

ik what you mean

if he gets 6 mvps he will be top 10 all time??

i doubt he will tho

[tawdry notch]

I personally

Don't really value

[remote raft]

NO WA

[tawdry notch]

MVPs and Chips

Jokic is already top10 for me

[remote raft]

Patty MILLS to the CLIPPERS

OMG

[tawdry notch]

Probably even 5

[tardy bison]

is it safe to say that hes a top 5 center oat

[tawdry notch]

Yes

[tardy bison]

yeah

[remote raft]

Lowkey think he is the best center of all time

[tardy bison]

not even a hot take anymote

more

[tawdry notch]

Statistically he is the best of all time

[tardy bison]

shaq kareem wilt and hakeem

[tawdry notch]

I think the only center you could put higher than him is Shaq because he's the most unstoppable center

Jokic is a better player though

[tardy bison]

kareem

[remote raft]

I think hes better than all of them he can do literally everything

[tardy bison]

dunk

[fluid lantern]

defend

[remote raft]

Besides that

[tardy bison]

hes a great defender

[tawdry notch]

Calling him a bad defender would be insane lol

[remote raft]

Hes a good defender lmao

[tawdry notch]

He's not as good as a center as you'd like for a starting big

[tardy bison]

hes got like a 90 3 ball in 2k this year 😭

[tawdry notch]

But he's literally so good at everything else it doesn't matter

[tardy bison]

imagine if he had passion for the sport

and actually cared

[remote raft]

Imagine if he locked in and became athletic

[fluid lantern]

demon time

[remote raft]

Bro would average a 40 point triple double in the first half

[tardy bison]

imagine getting dunked on by jokic 😭

am i wrong though

[fluid lantern]

no

[quiet stream]

LA had video footage of Dallas Gm at diddys party

[shadow shell]

😱😱😱

[tawdry talon]

what ad for luka

[versed sluice]

Lebron leaving

[tawdry talon]

waht whay

[hoary marlin]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/737047413558214716/1060552159348928543/1672829573332.gif

Lebron now

[candid parcel]

this is crazy bro

i cant belive this

[shadow shell]

Why on earth would this happen

[candid parcel]

in what universe

[shadow shell]

Now lakers got no center

And the mavs got no good players

[candid parcel]

you know how much

the gm of the mavs mark cuban

loves luka

[knotty ore]

Lakers can still trade for a center

[candid parcel]

i still can't belive this

[shadow shell]

I think lebron should trade bronny for kat

[candid parcel]

can they even trade injured players?

[candid parcel]

bronny is not even close to kats level tbh

[teal otter]

Wtf did they trade

Omg

[hoary marlin]

i traded bronny and 1st pick for sga in game

[candid parcel]

hear me out trade luka and get back kat and brunson

[teal otter]

Ad not gonna lead them to the finals

[candid parcel]

fr

[candid parcel]

is this a crazy take?

[shadow shell]

Now the lakers got a bigger chance of getting a chip

[candid parcel]

i think there gonna trade luka for 2 stars tbh

now we know lakers celtics are back in the finals

or lakers cavs

[shadow shell]

My glorious king MUST get another chip

[candid parcel]

he might catch jordan tbh

year 23

retires and passes the torch to luka

but real talk why in gods green earth would they trade LUKA FOR AD AND ROLE PLAYERS

[charred storm]

because "defense win chips"

said mavs

and also because hes 270 lb and really expensive apperantly

[stiff zealot]

money. this move gets the new owners under the luxury tax, they don't have to pay that supermax contract, the lakers get better which gives them more money in revenue sharing, and they move closer to moving the mavericks to las vegas

this new ownership group cares more about the team as a financial asset rather than trying to actually win

[brittle mica]

Mavs has a new owner?

[covert spear]

as far as I know, technically yes

Cuban does not own the team anymore, at least fully

the new owner is Miriam Adelson

[brittle mica]

Like this makes the Lakers future much better, but they’re even more in need of a Turner or Kessler type player… this trade would hurt less if they got Nick Richards

Maybe even need a 2 way starting sg

Lakers defense deffo took a big hit

They prob rise up in the standings due to Luka

But its so sad to ser AD go….

[forest plume]

imagine trade the man who carry you for the finals nba

[charred storm]

make sense

he once said that he wont trade luka no matter what

no

[covert spear]

he pretty much built everything around him

😕

[charred storm]

Would luka be the 2014 curry ?

i wonder ?

[forest plume]

I think I'm smarter than the mavs gm

[charred storm]

def not now

[covert spear]

bwoah, imo no, it's way too different

the impact they have on their own team, very different

[brittle mica]

So Luka coming back feb 8?

[abstract flame]

I give up on the mavericks organization

[charred storm]

went from contenders to whatever that new mavs team is

[abstract flame]

Contenders in 2017

Retirement home now

[charred storm]

i mean i had hopes for them in the 2024 finals

i would say they r contenders

[abstract flame]

I meant the new team is “contenders in 2017”

[tardy bison]

yo

[charred storm]

oh

ok sorry

[abstract flame]

Everyone not in they prime

[covert spear]

Personally, I don't understand what's the playwise reason for this trade, in terms of gain in offense and defense. I can only see sense on costs

[charred storm]

yeah

[covert spear]

although luka definitely wants to get paid sound:710171166601379881:1099098997987217489
