I think it's OKC's year. They have the best SRS ever and it's pretty unlikely that changes by season's end unless you know what happens. They're just murking teams and they're doing it without Chet healthy.
It really pains me this team didn't offer a 3rd year - even in a team option - to Hartenstein.
We developed a guy and lost him for nothing and now he's one of the key pieces to a championship team.
And we're left with......Mitchell f'n Robinson.

Keep that loser away from the Knicks, he's this eras Gilbert Arenas, except Gilbert actually got his teams to the playoffs. Bum ass LaMelo has missed 18 games this season, do you think the missed games are going to decrease as he gets older?
Shame on you Greenie, still trying to get this bum on the Knicks in place of Brunson, I see through your lies.

You're an enabler, you're watching Greenie go on a 6-day bender and telling him he needs to get lit and really turn up on the 7th day.

But the process with which they traded him, and the return they got, are the most egregious part of the trade, as you said.
Luka led Dallas to the Finals last year, two years after taking them to the Conference Finals. So this notion that you can't win with him because of his flaws is just silly. He was obviously hurt against Boston, one of the main reasons why Boston hunted him (also to tire him out like the Cavs did with Curry). His defensive rating surprisingly wasn't even that bad for the series, so the Mavs defense didn't collapse with him on the court as much as the optics suggested.
Talks of culture are irrelevant when you're on the cusp of a championship. It's just meaningless talk, devoid of substance or context, and above all devoid of pragmatism. Shaq was infamously lazy, but any team would've signed him in the early 2000s.
I don't see the Mavs as contenders at all. Their window is closed, even with a healthy AD. They are first-round fodder for the foreseeable future imo. They don't have enough shot creation with AD taking Luka's place, even with a healthy Kyrie.
Luka's one of the most talented players the league has ever seen. You accept the flaws and build around that.
I definitely agree that I wouldn’t trade him just because of how talented he is. No disagreement there. However, his defense definitely limits his team from winning a chip. They pretty much attacked him on every play. I don’t care how talented you are, if this is the effort you play with you aren’t going to win a chip.
What really forced the Mavs to trade him was that instead of coming back motivated to change the narrative about his defense and conditioning, he came back much much worse. That’s a major red flag. Let’s see if he changes the narrative on the lakers. I have my doubts and I don’t think he’s gonna win a chip there either.
From what I saw in the Mavs game against Houston, they were absolutely dominating them. They looked like a championship contender (small sample size of course). I know you hate AD but the dude won a chip for a reason. He’s the best two way big man in the league by far (unless you count Giannis).
AD's an excellent two-way player but he's not a dominant force and he's not a player who can carry a team to championship contention imo. He's a great sidekick but the guy's career shows he's not a franchise player for a team with championship aspirations. I don't actually hate him lol, I just think he's always been overrated, from his days in NO where he only won 1 series in 7 years.
I think the "two-way" thing gets overstated - AD's far behind Giannis, Embiid and Jokic as a big overall, as the impact on defense doesn't make up for the lack of offensive gravity. I don't even find him to be dominant defensively - he's a brilliant defender with the added value of being a capable second option on offense (next to an actual superstar), but he's not Ben Wallace either. Not close.
I really think those narratives around trading Luka overstate the severity of his problems. He's not a gym rat like Shaq before him. This is not a reason to trade those players in their prime.
And again, Luka was hurt in the Finals vs Boston. We can't summarily ignore this fact. You should know this as a Randle fan - playing through injury in the playoffs impacts performance. But if Luka was good enough to lift Dallas past SGA's OKC, or Minnesota's juggernaut, then I think it's a reach and arbitrary to say he cannot win in the Finals.
You have to reach that stage in the first place and I bet you Dallas never reaches the Finals with AD. I'll be very surprised if they won just one round, but it's conceivable. However, I'm confident in saying they'll never win two rounds.

You can't spend half a season appreciating the best team we have seen in decades? A top 5 team in the entire league. WTF are we doing here? Some of you deserve the trash we have seen since Ewing was traded! Just a bunch of whiny twats. Complaints about KAT before he played a single game. Complaints about Mikal/Hart after 5 preseason games. Complaints about Brunson a week into the season. Complaints about OG. The best ORTG from the starting five in history. The best start in franchise history. The first team with two starting all stars in almost 50 years. The best PG since Clyde. Let's trade everyone? GTFOH! You don't deserve a playoff team let alone a championship. Disgusting.

He had Brunson in jail last week when we played them. he locked up Ja Morant not long ago too. He’s the archetypal 3 and D wing that every team wants. Only 22 years old. Of course he’s not close to equating Luka’s value but he’s a promising player for the Mavs . If tim hardaway jr played defense like him and was efficient he would still be a Knick lol
