Hooka>>>>>Cigar

Lol... Oh well, that's the new culture. Also, didn't Dumont say "don't take vacations on our team"? I guess that means AD will be gone in off season for a pack of chips.

Isn't KD,who they are linked to, also kind of known for smokingu a lot of weed

Most NBA players smoke.

So do NFL players.

Smoking hookah isn't the reason Nico traded Luka. That's the PR answer for TV. If you believe that then you also believe anything politicians say on TV. Nico doesn't like Luka on a deeper level.

But we have a culture. Don't forget it.

Wow what a hate... Send him to the gratest market in NBA taking back 30% of his value
I see hate against the Mavs there honestly,not Luka!!!

It's collusion.
Other versions are just stupid and an insult for human intelligence.

We know that Luka wasn't traded because of hookah,it was all Just smoke screen.... Luka's never been a Nico guy, that's why they Got rid od everybody in the organization he liked....he probably wasn't expecting Luka and Kai to get along ,and probably wanted to trade him before.... unfortunately for him the team got to the finals and he knew he can't trade him in the summer...this season,injuries, were Just the last opportunity to try to make it seem like he's not good for the team because if he stayed he might have messed up his plans to bring his guys to the team... he's got Krause issues,management wins tittles not players

You don't think Nico hates Luka? Nico cost Luka over $115M because they are friends? Or you just didn't read it properly? Are we understanding each other here? I know english is not your first language. I have to confirm.

You need to understand that 90% of posts towards Nico and Dumont is just people trolling and making fun out of them for being complete idiots with their "after the trade" reasons on why they traded Luka. They did that to themselves, they deserve everything negative going their way.

Dirk already answered your questions a few days ago.

He doesn't care to much about money but anyway Luka playing for the Lakers will earn a lot of money with partnerships/bonus/extra basket stuffs/etc etc, LA is a huge market.
Those 115M will soon be equalized, don't worry.

In fact Harrison will make Luka richer and Mavs weaker, he has to thank Nico, he did him a great favor.

I would like to have a boss who hates me in that way

He can hate Luka or love him, i don't care.
I can only analyze the situation.

If Harrison did the trade just for hate he would have sent him to Salt lake city or Charlotte not to the biggest market in NBA.

But i can understand it's useless talking about Luka trade with a poster who called him "Slovenian Westbrook" so ok, Harrison hates so much Luka to send him to LA. Wow.

All 3 bigs are assigned to G league for practice, looks like they are back in a week.

Dude, it's exactly what everyone predicted on Mavs reddit earlier this month. Mavs will do EVERYTHING to rush them back so they can play full game vs Lakers. I think Nico really, really wants to say "Hey, look... we won the trade".

[Mavrelous]

Joe Engleman, analutics guy who worked for the Mavs, was on Dunc'd On podcast, he said that in 21 offseason he wanted Caruso and someone else wanted THJ at double the price, and Mabs ended up with THJ.

What are the chances of Kai Jones being a Maxi Kleber replacement at the backup 4 instead of a Gafford replacement?

Anthony Davis has the personality of a hamster.
What a pussy.

Damn it. We're getting D'Angelo Russell in the summer, aren't we?

So... DSJ was hanging out at the AAC today. What are the rules about signing him for PG minutes?

DSJ is so bad, that Real wouldn't even play him most of the time.
