This is the thing. I do think Dallas is better right now than they were yesterday. The problem is they essentially traded for like a 2-year window. If you're trading a superstar you need to start a bidding war and come away with a lot more.


I get the reasoning but I don't think Dallas' bigs are/were nearly bad enough for this to be true. They must have something lined up with one of those guys for a wing, not that I don't like Marshall and OMax.

I also don't think they have nearly enough creation now. I mean, the offense has been pathetic with Luka out, and now he's never coming back.


They don't have anywhere close to enough offense. That's especially true if the idea is to play AD at PF some of the time, not to mention relying on Kyrie and AD for a full title run.

They coveted AD over Embiid? Because they could’ve gotten Embiid and multiple firsts if they even tried

Note to Horst for next time he runs in to Pelinka: No, you haven’t always dreamed of having LeBron in a Bucks uniform.

Luckily LeBron joins Bradley Beal in players with no trade clauses.

I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Im assuming they are going to be heavily compensated not only for fox but for taking on the lavine contract plus giving up heurter.
