Not a single thing I've seen so far rationalizes accepting the deal they got. Not a single thing

Simply because Mahomes has a "dad bod".

Speaking of Mahomes…it’s too bad this didn’t happen next Saturday, he may have been distracted by it for a little bit for the game on Sunday. Guy is a big Mavs fan (and from Dallas iirc).

Weird trade. Good thing I’ve basically already lost all interest in the NBA anyways. The three point shooting competition every night from every team is the most boring thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I’d rather watch a goldfish drink water.

We should trade Booker to the Thunder for 2 second rd picks and their 7th man on the bench.

Trade KD to Celtics for something similar.

F*** it, if the NBA wants to play that game, let’s play it too. **** always trying to make the Lakers good.

Absolute collusion by the league to help prop up the flakers yet again! Not just getting Doncic in an insanely lopsided trade! But also conveniently getting him at a discount that'll allow them to still add more pieces too! Giving them a new younger BIG THREE! Thee NBA is becoming such an unwatchable joke!


It's an entertainment league full of storylines & narratives.Bron has always been the main character.I truly believe the league rigged like 3-4 drafts to benefit LeBron.Crazy how they won three #1 overall picks 3 out of the 4 seasons he was in Miami.I remember how Cleveland had trouble attracting top end talent to play with Lebron.I'm convinced they knew he'd return back home to Cleveland all along.Which is why they rigged those drafts to get him some blue chip running mates/trade assets.I believe the T Wolves were compensated KAT for trading Kevin Love to the Cavs.Just like the Pelicans were compensated Zion for trading AD to the Lakers.To me, 2019 was the most blatant of them all.Not only did the Pels win the #1 overall pick, the Lakers somehow moved all the way up to #4.Really sweetening the deal for NO.It's all there hidden in plain sight.

That's the hope/wish of every other NBA team since forever. Some BS always happens that gets LA right back on track

Is a realistic possibility a veto from Adam Silver because the other owners are MAD about it?

Cuban saw the writing on the wall and cashed out just before Luka was traded. Smart dude.

I'm not saying he would but if Luka let him know that he was not going to resign I would have cashed out immediately.

Did you forget that Cuban was cheap in not paying Steve Nash? Cuban is far far from a saint.

SGA, Wembanyama, and a first to the Lakers for Austin Reeves and a 2nd round pick up next.

God he is insufferable isn't he? Literally no receipts either. Nothing concrete.

We have a billion better posters here who know more NBA ball than Flex. Just sad to see he's inserted himself into the conversation.

See the great thing about not paying much attention to the NBA anymore is that I have no idea who the **** losers like that guy are or who they're supposed to be.
