ROFL Bird used to have beers in the locker room after games, can't imagine trading him for that. That was so disrespectful when that Mavs exec (was it Nico?) took away Luka's beer after earning that Finals berth.

It was Michael Finley iirc.
Damn can't believe a player would do that
ROFL Laker fans were chanting Thank You Nico when Dallas came to town and Nico was in the crowd

"Many Mavs fans and season ticket holders reacted to the average 8% increase as could be expected."
They aren't even trying to hide they are trying to move the team out of Dallas.
That's honestly the best possible outcome at this point. Just wipe your hands clean, and get another expansion team to the DF dub to start from scratch. Whenever the Kyrie/AD "experiment" door closes in the next year or two, the Mavs are f*cked indefinitely
Man you guys are rebuilding the western powers between the Doncic trade to LA, the 2028 unprotected swap to OKC, the 2029 unprotected swap to Houston, and the unprotected 2030 swap to the Spurs. Didn't look so bad trading those swaps when it looked like you were gonna have Doncic and be le contenders but now JFC.
Looks like it ended with a half of basketball tbh.
Hey dip , the Lakers are the #2 seed in the west now
Im basically just a pseudo-Laker fan at this point due to the weird unprecedented nature of this, but man this just feels so strange. It’s like a college powerhouse who just received the death penalty. You have to constantly remind yourself that it was 100% self inflicted.
Even when the A’s wanted to move , they didn’t trade prime MVP Jason Giambi midseason for rafael palmeiro
I'm 50/50 on the Vegas theory tbh
The obvious idiocracy type moves would make you think something is afoot. On the flip side, Dee Eff Dub is still a massive hub. Even if it is on par with Mogadishu Somalia in terms of quality of life, I can't really see billionaire Jews being ok with losing massive amounts of money in merchandise, ticket sales, etc even in the short term
Unless Trump is sending some of that money that would've gone to Ukraine straight to the Adelsons so that they can sacrifice more baby goats to Moloch in return for all the campaign donations IMO
I really don't think Silver could stop Adelson and the obese failson if they decide Texas isn't worth it when they can't get their casino. Also Trump's repayment will be genociding Gaza to the point Adelson can build a casino there.
Damn just like Kyrie to a torn ACL. Really enjoyed watching him and Luka together for a year and a half.
This continues to be the wildest and the most dubious element of the trade. You have an empty cupboard of assets and you only get one 1 FRP-- and it's from the team you're sending an in-his-peak superstar to? Really? This where you are allowed to go beyond the 'sheer stupidity' explanation and actually entertain the theory of plan hatched-up in some smoky room the goal of which is to deliberately torch the franchise to the ground in Dallas and moved it to Vegas by 2031 (clean slate)..
It's crazy how quickly MAGA leadership can destroy an organization. As much as it might have hurt, Luka might have dodged a bullet.
I cant think of a sports team that had such a large downfall this quick tbh. From the NBA Finals to arguably worst future in the NBA.
A quarter of this League is in tanking mode and Owners respond by ing ticket prices![]()
Plus since the 27 is a pick and not a swap they owe Charlotte it means they can't use their 26 in any trade lol
I would laugh but I have to live under MAGA leadership
Must be nice to live in a nation run by responsible adults.
Despite this being possibly the biggest meltdown in any sports franchise history, somehow Nico could actually somewhat salvage things if they immediately flip AD to a desperate team for like 4 first round picks. Then the net change ends up being Luka for five 1st round picks and Max Christie. Goes from being the all time worse sports trade to 'only' a very bad trade![]()
It would still be in epic fail territory since the Mavs don't control any of their drafts from 2027 through 2030.
