Cause I think that's just the strawmen talking in your heads.

Yeah i don't think anyone said that l. I don't think the Lakers are built to win this year. Next year is another story.
I did however say that the Mavericks are run by idiots and I stand by that. What they did is appalling.

It is funny the double standards some fans hold us to verse any other outside team we see from afar. It's the "grass is always greener" conundrum IMO.
It never gets brought up how we smacked a fully healthy Memphis team or a fully healthy Denver squad. How we've smacked the Bucks up twice and Indiana.
The Knicks may not be contenders in some fans eyes but we're WAY better off than like 90% of the league including the Lakers IMO.
I completely agree with everything except the bolded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I mean nobody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is beating lebron&luka 4 times out of 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least Dallas will “save” money.
Luka's conditioning and drive lol
He just dragged the Mavs to the finals. Dallas probably gets bounced in Round 1 led by Kyrie and AD.
Ain't no one going to convince me that this wasn't self-sabotage or a Lakers' pick me up, because this trade will never make sense. I'm still haunted by one of Nico's quote about avoiding a tumultuous offseason. Like, WTF, you're afraid to do your job or something?

I watched their game last night. Their defense is insane. Wagner and Banchero really couldn’t create much against them. And the fact that they have Deandre Hunter and Ty Jerome off the bench is a cheat code. They are the biggest threat to the Celtics.

I haven't watched enough of em to validate my skepticism, but I question if Garland is a legit 1b to win it all. Prolly would have said the same thing about Brown last year so whatever. They're a really solid team.

I think no amount of the Mavericks leaking negative press and info on Luka is going to change our minds even by 0.1%. One of the worst trades of all time, if not the worst.
Everything they have been leaking to destroy Luka's reputation would have made some sense if AD was say 27-years old and had Bridges' like durability. But since AD is 32 years old and one of the league's most injury prone players...this transaction is literally free of any sense.
It's like trading Mitch and stating his injury history as a reason for the trade but then getting Mark Williams back in the deal.
