Luka is giving the Mavs a timeline to fix the roster “the clock is ticking -Dallas responds

[#1 pick]

took josh green when bey and maxey were available. sure couldve used them against the clips

In all fairness, Green was projected to be picked in this range.

Dallas has done a bad job. Nobody has ever passed on the max ext coming out of a rookie deal so he'll probably sign and then give them two years before a demand out

Somebody gotta be first

LMAO man said Klay Thompson type players come out every year

Klay Thompson is not analytics player. He's a much better player on film than paper and before his rep with the titles, Klay wasn't seen no where near the same light as Love in Minny.

While he's totally in the right, I'm amazed at how much the media screams "He doesn't have help" that they wouldn't say for other stars in similar circumstances.

No breh, I mean he only watches basketball to make money. As in enriching HIS pockets.

I am not hating on it, but that's not what qualifies you to make NBA roster decisions.

His metrics and trajectories are top notch. That said, he's white and you know how they see each other when you can find a better way. His guy metrics told him to trade an offensive nightmare in Seth Curry for a guy who needs real touches in Richardson. As a Hawk fan, I see how we almost ruined Bogi and Reddish because we played TraeBall due to LP's over reliance on metrics. Metrics love Traeball and Lukaball but sometimes, running a real offense is a lot better as others need real touches. Not everyone is THJ or Finney Smith and can be C&S guys with random out of rhythm touches.

cuban will let that gm die in a fire slowly before he trades luka nikka jobs gone

Cuban's response so far doesn't look good if I'm a Mavs fan. Defending the dude in the article's quotes and calling it BS on Twitter.

Would be better to fire the guy ASAP, if theres any inkling he's rubbing the franchise player and basketball people the wrong way.

Cuban said he'd choose Luka over his own wife lol. Right now he's defending one of his employees against the media, which shouldn't surprise anyone. This whole thing is based on the assumption that Luka has issued some kind of ultimatum to the Mavs, which the article doesnt talk about. The article is basically "Young Star frustated with some members of management", pretty sure that's not the first time that's happened in NBA history. Hell even other members of management are frustated at that Vulgaris guy so it's not even a Luka-Vulgaris situation but a Mavs-Vulgaris situation from what I gather from the article. Only situation I could see Cuban choosing computer dude over an actual All-NBA player is that he has something on Cuban lol.

Luka ain't doing shyt.

He's signing that extension the minute the documents hit the table. It's not just about Dallas fixing the roster. He has to change the way he plays too. He's basically Harden 2.0 in Houston. That style of play doesn't win shyt for anyone. He should be able to eat while also making sure other dudes get some burn too. Zeek went in on him the other night on NBA TV, and he was right. Sometimes, the player has to adjust too. It's not just going to be on the team to bring in better players.

He will sign the new deal but in a few years I could see him on the Lakers. Cuban and this front office is a joke.

Lowkey the mavs front office is somehow worse than the cowboys and they stay in just as much fukkery.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

This was years ago and when he talked after a while, I would zone out because I couldn't understand why we were listening to him.

He would definitely talk about how to run plays and stuff but it came from the perspective of a guy who didn't play basketball much.

I remember on Twitter he used to act like he was so much smarter than just about every coach in the league. Duke was arrogant as fukk

 

[Straw Hat Luffy]

Why would he leave just cause of someone in the front office

like Cuban wouldn’t axe him if Luka asked him too
