Ahhh gotcha, I’m not worried LeBron’s chemist will find a way to help him mitigate that.

This is not even about sports for me any more. It's so much bigger than that.

It's so wrong, on so many levels.

I want to see a long term relentless campaign from the Mavericks fanbase, and even fans of other teams.

Ozempic also is not a miracle drug, it's effect varies based on the person. Some people gain weight on it, some have no effect.

You are also correct that loss of muscle mass is a concern with it, but that is more of an issue for people who aren't particularly active.

The biggest concern for a professional athlete in the middle of a season would be lethargy and energy levels.

There's a better way, it's called diet control, lol

2001, Dear Shaq, you might be a good basketball player if you would substitute a turkey burger for a hamburger. Shaq: I'm eating a hamburger.

Enter Nico Harrison. Trade him!!!!! Bad culture!!!

I mean, it's supposed to redice your appetite and hence your caloric intake. It's not meant for professional athletes

Aside from trading for AD and later WB, getting JJ in as the head coach. Oh and using their 2nd rounded to draft his son who's clearly is not NBA ready. And telling other teams that if they draft him Bronny will not sign and go play in the AUS league.

There's like maybe 10 second round players in the last 20 years that turned out to be stars in the league dude. Even the rare cases like Jokic weren't the **** 55th pick :lol: :lol: you're reaaalllyyy mad at the 55th pick? NBA fans are so hilarious :lol:


Jokic/Brunson/Manu/Draymond/Marc Gasol/Middleton/Millsap come to mind and they're all stars. Bronny would've not been drafted as a second rounder in one of the worst drafts in the last 20 years if he wasn't LeBrons son. Be real

So mention the star drafted by another team in that draft between 56-60 that the Lakers missed out on because they drafted Bronny. Go on, mention it. It was a terrible draft and Bronny was picked near the very bottom and you guys are still foaming at the mouth over it. Honestly, it's pathetic. Get real and move on to things that actually matter. I guarantee you 80% of guys drafted at #55 are out of the league within 3-5 years. In other words, it's a draft pick that 9 times outta 10 doesn't **** matter :lol:

So that **** GM from Dallas, dont even want to mention his name, couldnt get Lakers 31 pick, Knecht and Reaves because of Lukas conditioning, meanwhile Horneta got that for Williams.
Williams game played: 43, 19 and 22 in last three seasons with 20/26/25 minutes per game
Luka: 66/70/22 gamea and 36/37/35 minutea per game.
Plus playoff gamea on top of that....
Such a dumb ****, he shouldnt get fired, he should go to prison for this.

It makes me sick. It will permanently affect my ability to enjoy and respect the NBA and I’m not even a Mavs fan. Actual bull through and through.

The ex-Mavs analytics guys comments on how Luka is dramatically overrated is kinda interesting ngl. The fact their own models have him as seriously underperforming can't be overlooked.


I wouldn't be shocked if he never gets a ring and we're just talking about the **** return. Unless it just lights a fire under his ass and he starts actually doing the team things to win.

There's so many rumours and pop culture going on around this trade that I get it's sacrilege to point out Doncic might not be Michael Jordan but better. The NBA got a lot more interesting anyway.

Useless speeches, just good for some puppets on ESPN o NBA TV.
The point is not Luka weight, Luka culture, Luka fat ass, Luka system, Luka defense or even the Lakers package.

The point is "Dallas Mavericks GM wanted to trade Luka Doncic in 2025 and he called just 1 teams.... A team with his close friend as GM"

But NBA prefers to investigate on Terry Rozier. Funny.

Oh well, not so much... NBA has an huge ratings problem and Luka in LA can help for sure.

NBA=WWE.

Boycott the games. It's all a joke.

If you saw the Pics from the last week Luka's in shape and he's not close to 270 he's around 245ish from what I heard.

Crazy how Nico's job at Nike was to make Rob happy. I'm starting to feel like Nico made this trade to save Rob's job. Bc Rob was on the hot seat if he didnt make any big moves this deadline. Now all I'm hearing now is Rob has a job for life now.Than the news comes out that Nico might not want to continue being a GM in the NBA days later? Don't you find that odd?
