Super Bowl LIX - Eagles wins 40-22

[Cactus Jack]

OT: But what the hell are the Mavs doing trading Luka? Like WTF???

Did he piss someone off? What's the scoop?

Yea that trade is beyond crazy. The league needed Luka in LA to save the ratings.

It’s definitely a terrible trade but there are some positives. Defensively the Mavs are MUCH better after the trade. There’s also been legit concerns about Luka’s conditioning (or lack thereof) and the fact that he was due for a $345M extension this off season. That’s an awful lot for a guy that doesn’t like to stay in shape. The funny thing is he’s no longer eligible for that extension by being traded.

They still have the assets to make another move by Thursday’s trade deadline too.

If Dallas doesn't win a championship in the next 2-3 years (Window) this trade is going to look really awful if you're a Mavs fan in 5 years. They'll be in a complete rebuild by then.

[Mariner]

You think this trade is "fixing it"? lmao

Probably not.
But the point remains. They aren’t celebrating
They don’t share your feelings.

What if the Mavs don't make it back to the finals for the next 10 years but Luka does?

As usual you’re missing the point. I’m not saying this was a good trade. Whether they are better or worse is irrelevant. Whether Luka was the problem or if they just should have added another piece is also irrelevant.
They probably just made things worse.
The only point I made to you was that the Mavs weren’t celebrating their conference title and felt the need for change.
I personally would not of done this trade but just wanted you to understand that past conference titles are meaningless.

Even if it would be a good decision to trade Luka, an all-NBA talent who's just 25, the Mavs just gave him away to the Lakers, who have a history of getting handed great HoF level players by other teams.

That is what is highly suspect about the trade.

So you're saying if they had been just a little proud of their accomplishment, they wouldn't have pulled this stupid trade?

I guess they got so upset over being pussy losers that they traded Mr B's favorite player.

[therealbig3]

Most rational people view a conference championship as something to be proud of and try to build off of. Since you know, it means they were close to winning it all.

But since they don’t care about it and it was basically the same as missing the playoffs, they traded their franchise player. But somehow traded their franchise player for a win now player who’s worse than Luka. Which means they made themselves worse in the short term and long term, without getting bad enough to even tank properly.

This is why people should care about more than just winning it all. Because when you don’t, stupid **** like this happens.

[QB_Eagles]

The NFL reached a deal to use Pat Riley's trademark "3-Peat." The fix is in...

[Jaydubb]

What I don’t understand is if only one game matters each year then why watch any of the other games?

Also, I think it’s weird that the people claiming Super Bowl wins are the only thing that matters are the same people that have bragged about dak prescotts record against the nfc east.

[Mr B]

AD has been trying to forced the Lakers to get them a 5 so he can play his ideal 4 spot where the FO finally had enough of his selfish demands instead of doing what is best for the team. Now he can play the 4 with Lively at the 5 in Dallas while the Lakers get someone who specializes on doing this along with whining to the refs for calls 100% of the time.

Kinda reminds ya of you know who eh?

AD has had issues playing with Labron for a couple years now. There also have been rumors he’s fed up with the circus in LA.

Also the league is desperate to make the Lakers good again, especially with the NBA ratings being even further in the tank this season.

I highly doubt that as they are both Klutch guys and are very close off the court. What Lebron can't stand are whiney out of shape players who don't care about conditioning like he always been. Kidd can't stand Luka no D flops and constant whining yet love AD elite D when he was as assistant with the Lakers, so you can bet he is loving this move.

Read on Twitter

Well Labron won’t have to worry about that much longer because LA is going to ship him out ASAP! And it wasn’t really Kidd that had a problem with Luka, it was the Mavs ownership and front office. The Mavs don’t fee that he takes his conditioning by serious enough and didn’t want to commit to paying him almost $400M for 5 years. They didn’t want to get caught in the trap that the Sixers are in with Embiid.

The Mavs definitely could have gotten a better deal, no question. The deal they made does keep them in contention for the next year or two though. But I agree that it was a horrible trade for a lot of reasons.

[Mr B]

Lol after the Luka trade

The Mavs Twitter page lost like $1M followers after the trade. Lol! Luka Stans flocking to the Lakers.

[Mr B]

He's obviously a pussy loser who can't win the big one, unlike Trent Dilfer, that's why they got rid of him.

I guess the Mavs didn’t think that losing in the finals was an accomplishment like you.

Yup the Eagles and their fans would have erected a statue already.

[Mr B]

Yes, and Mr B will happy he's rid of Luka the Choker.

I would trade Luka for a Championship 10 out of 10 times.

[Mr B]

Yes, and Mr B will happy he's rid of Luka the Choker.

Strange that the organization doesn’t think the same as you? They should be celebrating their conference title.
If it wasn’t broken why fix it?

You think this trade is "fixing it"? lmao

Not by Eagles standards. They “tried hard” last year so that’s good enough for the Eagles and their fans

[Mr B]

Lol after the Luka trade

That doesnt look like a 1960s Dallas Chiefs jersey.

Who are the Dallas Chiefs? Lol

[Mr B]

What if the Mavs win the title the next 2 years and Luka never wins a title?

1000% agree. Nico Harrison might actually get lynched if the Mavs don’t win at very least 1 title out of this.

Besides 1 measly SB win that’s all they have ever had.

Why would you ever be ok with losing? That really says a lot about you personally.
