I actually feel bad for them.
This warrants a worse reaction than if Luka died in a car crash or something.
Mavs officially lost the Trae/Luka trade

Unless the Spurs now think Doncic is gettable.
Especially if they think Luka is gettable. It gives us a real trade chip if Luka wants to come here.
In a weird way this does make the Mavericks better for a le run THIS year (not even next year). might even put down some money on the Mavs this year at 33-1. But man to give up a player with at least 6 more seasons of all nba 1st team for an injury probed 32 year old who will never make it again after this year is beyond shocking and stupid.
They had to have told Luka that he wasn’t getting his $346 million extension if he doesn’t show up to camp in shape and he just balked at them. In a 90s type of way I like the owners finally standing up to lazy ass players. And as a Spurs fan I love what the Mavericks did![]()
That roster would look nice if cir stances were normal.
But like this? Mid-season trade, noone knew , Klay and Kyrie went there specifically because they wanted to play with Luka.
Not to mention fans' reaction and outrage, impossible environment to play in.
I'm good with this move.
I agree. I suspect there is more to this story behind the scenes. Luka seemed pretty happy in Dallas but I bet some was brewing behind closed doors. Also, fk player empowerment. I like seeing owners take back the game. If i’m paying you 60m to play sports I own your ass lol.
I'm not sure about that, but have no idea. If they want to go to Vegas, just do the Baltimore Colts thing and move the team in the off-season. Anything is possible at this point as an explanation. If I'm conspiracy-thinking, I see this as Nico getting paid under the table or doing his Lakers buddies a favor and ownership not caring.
Reminds me a lot of when Jerry West gave his Lakers buddies Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown. I get that Marc Gasol was in that trade, but at the time he was a mid second-round pick throw-in. That trade stunk. This one's even worse.
You are probably right. But I think having Kidd as a coach will be an important factor for this year. He already has Kyrie’s ear. That relationship is solid. He needs to some how figure out a way into ADs head and get him mad at the world and play like it. Also AD will be a PF like he has been begging to be for the past 4 years. Idk. I can see them going to the WCFs with the right bracket. OKC one, Denver stays 4. Who is Dallas really not favored over if they’re the 6th seed?
Mavs with their next home game in like five days. I wonder who shows up.
Realistically, anyone see Lebron waiving no trade clause? Don’t see how this makes lakers better near term with lebron only having 1-2 years left
Las Vegas is getting their expansion team, they don't need the mavs and if i'm Las Vegas i don't want another hand me down like the Raiders.
Did Luka pull a Dwight Howard and post Free Palestine on social media or something?
The Adelsons are already balls-deep in Vegas casinos. They can buy any council person they want, and don't have to.
maybe he said that there are only two genders
At anybody thinking this increases the chances of Luka to SA
If anything, this increases the chances of Wemby to the Lakers in a few years. They've got a generational superstar in his prime to pair with him that they don't have to pay the Supermax for.
BWrong needs to build a team around him soon or it's bye bye.
Don't forget that Wemby's favorite player is KD, the biggest snake in league history. Loyalty ain't worth a damn thing tbh![]()
it can't be a coincidence
The Adelsons are MAGAt conservative billionaires like most billionaires outisde Cuban and Soros. Do try to keep up.
increases both tbf
That wouldn't have pissed that zionist owner off
Also, again, never trust a guy named Nico. Never.
He's not Slovenian. He's Serbian and Croatian. I know y'all Americans also think Africa, London and Paris are countries, but y'all should learn some geography![]()
You know who is also from Slovenia? Melania Trump.
