I know you hate to hear it, but Russell Westbrook triple double today = Luka Doncic. It is what it is.

He's doing the same things. Russ and Jokic, it works for some reason. Luka needs someone similar.

The level of trolling of this forum has reached unexpected levels... And we don't even touched the half of the season.

Kidd+trolls make this season absurd. Really.

For some reason is trolling on this board allowed, on the other hand we're fighting hard for political correctness.

It's not trolling if someone doesn't agree with you. It's called having a different opinion. That is allowed.

It's pretty difficult to find a player more different from Luka than Westbrook, physically, basketball skills wise, shooting or the way he plays. Their game has nothing in common. So it's trolling for sure.

I know you hate to hear it, but it's a dumb opinion and you only bring it up to piss people off because you know no one agrees with you. So why constantly repeating it? I dare you to go to Mavs reddit and try this, you'll get downvoted to oblivion.

Also, Russ didn't have a triple double, what game were you watching?

Why would Luka need someone similar? He has Kyrie to help him to score. On top of that, for all his career Russ was actively seeking for triple doubles, that was his game, Luka had insane amount of like 32/9/10 games for example and didn't come back into the game to score those triple doubles.

So yeah, like others pointed out you are trolling. It's like saying if Kwame shoots mid range jumper and scores i would come here spammming "Hey Kwame Brown plays exactly like Dirk".

However i don't see another Mavs PO run without a Kleber injury or a trade.

This is a simple addiction by subtraction.

The Kwame comparison is way off. Russ won a regular season MVP award and averaged a triple double for like 2 years straight. An MVP award. Not something to just scoff at. Luka has not won anything yet (the behind the back passes on Youtube are nice though). What's so bad about that?

This is very bad timing.

They should have traded Kleber, Hardy, Omax and 2 firsts for Herb Jones before he got injured.

I still want that trade...even with Jones and his season ending injury. Addiction by subtraction.
We will probably better after the trade :lol:

I'll take Jones now too even if he has to sit out for the season. That lineup of Jones, Marshall and Grimes would be killer.

Wouldn't work. Unfortunately you would still have Luka chasing triple doubles and youtube highlights. So you would first need to trade him and then get Herb and then maybe have a chance for a ring.

Luka being all NBA is probably league top 10. So if you trade him for any of those top 10 players (with filler) and that is not a guard, should be fine still.

Let's say you trade Luka for Giannis and filler. I think Kyrie , Grimes, Jones, Marshall, Washington, Giannis, Lively, Gafford are good enough to compete for a ring.

Nobody is trading Giannis for Westbrook like player. You might get LaVine or someone similar.
