Calling Luka an empty stats guy is insane. His offense is legitimately great (but a step below Jokic levels). His defense is just a smidge below average which hurts his overall value

Why wouldn't DJ just give the ball to Reggie there? That was a totally unnecessary turnover.

You will be surprised to hear that 2023 DeAndre Jordan is not a good player in the sport of basketball

Lakers will offer DeAngelo russell for Jamal murray. Nuggest would be crazy not to trade a non all star for an all star.

I would honestly make that trade. Anyone who watches the nuggets know how reckless murray plays (historically)

Luka is not a winning player. He doesn't have the leadership skills to truly be that guy.

They won't ever be a real contender until Luka changes how he approaches the game. Great stats but results in a L.


Empty stats player.

Empty Stats is BS. Stats are stats.
Westbrook was criticized most of his career for empty stats...

Kings with quick back to back 3 point misses up late in the fourth instead of running clock. That's today's NBA LOL. No situational awareness.

Let’s not get crazy now.

The Nuggets would obviously need to throw in a first to get such an injury prone player off their books.

Jokic has 36. Jeez. He's just been on one lately.
