Judging how close Luka is with his national team teammates , and how close he was with Mavs org , I’m not saying he will leave lakers , but you have to know that Euros in most part is wired differently eg , Jokic , Luka , Giannis all happy in their relatively small market teams


Luka is going to fall in love with LA itself. The Lakers will get that extension signed this summer. They don't lose franchise players in free agency to other franchises.


Yeah i think so too. I think he changed his twitter picture to Kobe and Gigi.


That's a painful memory. Kobe actually brought Gigi to an early Mavs game just to see Luka because she was a big fan of him soon before you know what happened. Kobe even trash talked Luka in Slovenian from the front row to get his attention, and it's an easy clip to find. That was early in Luka's career and after it happened he took it pretty rough like everybody

Watch your mouth granny, that's an offensive line...:lol:

Anyway, Curry's decline casts doubt on the idea that his game would age well since he doesn't rely on freak athleticism. Seems that old legs ruin everyone's shot, even the GOAT shooter


Even if this is the new normal, Curry played very well through the season he turned 36. That means that his game already aged well if he retired tomorrow. LeBron, Kareem, Malone, Stockton etc are major outliers. Playing well into the second half of your 30s IS having your game age well.

Curry can't hit anything from deep but that lane is WIDE open for the rest of the team. My goodness.

Fought back from 26 down to single digits

It’s going to hit hard when Luka leaves to the join Jokic on the Nuggets when his contract is up


If this ever happened the internet would officially blow up and so would my stomach from laughing so hard.

All they have to do Is drive to the basket rather then shooting all the time and GG.

Williams better learn defense and rebound

They're still pretty shaky against good teams. They're on a streak against very poor teams, but before that they lost convincingly to NY and Minny.
