    Harrison is going to be like Jerry Krause, without the 6 rings.

      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

        the Mavs played the NBA finals like 7 months ago. This team WAS winning

        I didn't watch the press conference but i'm reading the comments, and it seems like every time the GM opens his mouth it gets worse.

          So Dallas go to LAL to shop Luka, sell him for far less value, and give him the motivation to become the player everyone thinks he can be for the next 10 years? Astounding, and delicious as a Lakers fan

            He can't make an argument, because there isn't one.
            If they cared about defense, they wouldn't have brought in Kyrie.
            And even if they did, they could have brought in defense around Luka.
            AD is a very good player, but he's an injury magnet, so Luka's injury concerns are nothing by comparison.
            And 'worried about a busy summer' due to Luka's contract situation, what the fuck are yo paid for muthafucker? You got some fucking fishing to do?

            Edit: This fluffybunny just wanted to take Luka's bag because he's pissed. Fuck em.

              I absolutely get wanting AD. You add AD to Luka and Kyrie and you're probably favourites to come out of the West.

              But giving up your best fucking player? And getting fuck all in return? When your draft capital is promised elsewhere?

              I mean, none of this makes any sense when you think about it for a second. And you don't even run it by your head coach?????

                and i am sorry Mavs fans, but geez a pretty boring sporting landscape really needed this story.

                NBA head office walking around with massive, massive smiles today. It is Superbowl week and people are talking about Basketball

                    and where exactly is @ACT-Crusader for a balanced, nuanced and entirely too sensible take?

                      I cannot believe that the Mavs did not get the other lakers pick.
                      The Lakers can go get a big man to help Luka now, using that fucking pick.
                      I just do not fucking get how that pick is not with the Mavs.

                        And, that's not to start on what the Mavs could have gotten from the market if they'd made it clear that he was available to trade.

                          As a Breakers fan I can absolutely sympathise. We were top of the table before the owner self sabotaged our whole season by selling our second best player, who provided pick and roll and rim protection, against the wishes of the coach

                            They kept Reaves and the picks. Talk about a fire sale. I can't see how the GM keeps his job, surely he must have consulted Mark Cuban? Has he learned nothing since trading away Steve Nash?

                                oh, just saw a comment that reads pretty true. How good has the Lakers trade for AD proved? He wins them a ring, and then they flip him for Luka fucking Doncic.

                                  Bontemps (Hoop collective) said that Luka entered the season as the bookie favourite for MVP and has now been traded (secretly) before the trade deadline. That's fucking wild.

                                    Sure, but who fucking cares about this year if you're the Lakers? LeBron is on the way out (maybe sooner than you think), and then you've got $50m in salary back and 10 years of Luka!!!

                                        well, now that trade value precedent has been set, i think fair compensation for Fox is the Kings also giving us 2 first round picks
