NBA Season - now 24/25

Lakers now don't have anyone to play defence
So any day I expect them to announce they've traded Bronny James and a 2040 3rd round pick for Wemby

What the fuck? Not sure that benefits either team on its own. Ironically AD has been playing well this season. Luka has big upside, but he can't stay away from the buffet table and he can't play defence
-
I don't know enough about the roster to know how this works for Dallas. AD is having a very good season, he'll give them rim protection and scoring. But he's injury prone and 30. I just didn't see this coming, although I did think trading AD was a reasonable option last season
-
the story keeps getting weirder. And the playing group look like they have basically quit given the DNPs and the effort today.
-
Also, had he shopped around, i am confident that the Spurs would have given all our picks for Luka. All of them.
-
I’ve moved from shock to be just fucking furious.
They didn’t even get all of the Laker’s picks! For Luka!
I’m furious that they haven’t put pieces around him to succeed, furious that they have traded him, abd furious that they didn’t set up an auction if they were going to trade him.
It seems that the GM was pissed and traded away the franchise player, with, let’s say 10 more good years of service and the ability to be MVP 2?3? times in that period.
Fuuuuuuuuuuck

Turns out Kidd didn’t know, Luka didn’t ask to be traded, and Nico only spoke to the Lakers
He could be lynched by Dallas fans. It’s borderline criminal to not even see what you can get in the market for a guy of that calibre

I’m lining up!
fluffybunny mustn’t have sat through 30 years of the Mavs being the absolute shittest team in the league. We may not win it all but we are a playoff team with an absolute star. This is (potentially) our third golden era (era is a bit strong, but best time since we lost Dirk) and this fucking just traded away the piece to build a team around.
-
The whole thing is shady as hell given both the Lakers and Mavs GMs have a long relationship back to when they were a player agent and Nike executive respectively.
This isn't the first time the Lakers have been gifted a superstar on a platter.
-
read any Mavs board on the net and it's the same thing. They've turned comments off on all their socials!
Not only did they trade Luka without telling him, they called him a fat loser on the way out. He is going to ruin the Mavs every single time he plays them.

the history is fucking ridiculous
Wilt
Kareem
Shaq
LeBronAll traded to the Lakers for fuck all with prime years left. This is why the Lakers don't give a shit about draft picks, they don't fucking need them

They went out to get Kyrie when they could have lined up two 3&D guys to help on the wings and keep Brunson and we might have already been there!!!!!!!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Luka needs the ball and doesn’t play much defense. Let’s get another guy who hates defense and needs the ball. As a one-two punch it was fun but not a championship team without some starch on D.
-
there is a fair argument to make that this trade is actually makes both teams worse

50% of that is great, fuck the Lakers!
I’m prepared to bet though that this changes Luka, they just took away his bag (for like 3 years?). He’s going to fucking kill us and probably the league as revenge.
-
oof, the Mavs don't control their first round picks from 27-31
-
Have you guys seen the presser? The best comment is 'Kidd, blink twice if you are a hostage'
That fluffybunny says he doesn't care about the team in 9-10 years, he just wants to win now.
Well fuck you, you could have put the pieces around to challenge now and have us be a force for 10 years.*if we win it all and maintain as a playoff team, I'm prepared to take back everything I just said
