The NBA isn't letting the Mavs leave Dallas. That's one of their premier franchises, the Mavs are a Top 10 organization in basketball...

That was 4½ years ago, October 2020. Stop it...

The real move for LA is this plus they never shoulda given an extension to LeBron. They brought a title and we are grateful for it, but that was going on 5 years ago. Time to move on and build for the future, hopefully they've told Bron they make the decisions again...
the man avg 28 & 16 against the “best” player in the league this past playoffs.

Yall acting like AD is fukking Al Holford

No I'm not, the move isn't calling AD a bum, and I'm not calling him a bum. I don't know how yall are getting that from me...

The move was about resetting the window and building for the future. AD is a Y13 player, he's not the "future", and I've been very vocal for a couple years that this weak ass owner and front office should have told Bron to keep pushing instead of extending him...

It's not about AD, it's about the franchise...

Ironically your best bet is to pair him with someone like AD. My Lakers gonna be some real ass now that we have two of those players :skip:
I think this is what people are missing. In order to win a title with Luka, you have to have great rim protection and multiple All-Defense wings to support him on that side of the ball. He can carry an offense and against some teams get away with being a turn style on defense... but Boston put the gameplan and blueprint on tape on how to beat him.

Attack him relentlessly and he'll give up baskets, and then he'll fold mentally crashing out on the officials for not getting calls.

You have the advantage of hindsight and one of the few instances where the draft pick actually pans out to help the franchise.
Boston got Tatum and brown from the Garnett pierce trade :yeshrug: there are other examples. At the least, you have more trade assets to build your team if you don’t want to draft. They are very valuable.

This. The Mavs are trying to make the argument they did this deal to win for the future. Well in that case you just keep Luka.... Only the Coli and fukking Kendrick Perkins are the ones defending this deal. The fact that people thought initially Shams got hacked says it all.

Outside of game 4, Mavs had no issue stopping the Celtics with Luka on the floor. Nobody else on the Mavs could score

Didn't a Carmelo to the Knicks trade turn into Jamal Murray?

:mjlol: Dallas is black af why do you act like Texas is in the 1960s. The two biggest cities in the state had black mayors before this last election and Texas has the biggest black population of any state
You know the answer. They ain’t left their neighborhood and get news from Twitter. Never stepped foot in Dallas but talk about it like they know it :mjlol:

91 :comeon:
I wasn’t born then and I’m not doubting cacs caccing. I’m just saying there’s racism everywhere and folks on here disingenuously just delegate it to the South.

These nikkas could get curb stomped by some random Italian or Irish in Jersey and won’t bat in eye but if something happened down south you’ll hear nothing but “live down south brehs”

AD can play on this level for 3-5 years

That’s the future
