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

Would anyone here trade Giannis for Luka? Would Dallas say yes..?

Everyone who said the Sixers have better roster than the Bucks is a simpleton. Big time national take.

I'm not trading the best player on the planet for the 4th or 5th best player on the planet.

It’s not a preposterous suggestion but neither side would entertain it.

Do you think Luka could claim that title in the next 2-4 years?

Lukas ridiculous. Eating some crow feathers on that one. What happened leading to the draft? He was consensus #1 for a few years leading up to the draft, then, *ooh shiny* happened and he goes 3rd.

Btw

DAL 114
GS 67

You do what you have to do to keep your job is what I think happened.
People wanted the kids that they know and love from college basketball, so you give them what they want and everybody's happy and you get to keep your job. Simples.

Is Giannis dead in this hypothetical?

Wonder how much Blake Griffin regrets coming back in the playoffs last season for no reason?

The roster the Clippers have is absolutely amazing.

What is even more amazing is the roster they had 2-3 years ago and all the decisive moves they did to get where they are now.

Precisely. That and horrible scouting outside of the US of course.

The number of absolutely horrible takes I read from supposed experts when they questioned Doncic's game ....

Luka is crazy balls. Also, let's pump the brakes on the Top-5 player in the world talk.

I, for one, am stunned that a guy who was among the best players in Europe as a teenager does not seem to be worse in the NBA after being coached by Rick Carlisle for a season and a quarter.
