ATL - Embiid Out for the Season

jschligs · Post #181 » by **jschligs** » Sun Feb 2, 2025 2:27 pm

Lakers aren’t done trading.

But I keep going back to the fact that if Dallas wanted Luka out they could’ve called 28 other teams and said “what will you give us for Luka” and they would get an absolute haul from most teams.

But they should have gotten Reeves and MULTIPLE FRPs, not one.

I can see Dallas interest in AD too. Kyrie for AD makes sense for them...not Luka

LA would (should) never make that deal IMO, but yeah totally from Dallas POV.

Getting a guy who would have signed a supermax, and now can't because he was traded is a nice benefit on top of it all.

Lost in all of this ADs ass getting shipped to Dallas. It's not exactly a small down but it's a lot closer to NO than LA.

yea, I think this is going to piss off the PA in the next negotiations.

I'll follow the Bucks as long as Giannis is here but outside of that I'm probably done

Sent from my SM-S918U using RealGM mobile app

When Giannis moves on I think I'll probably just get really back into college basketball and live and die with the lottery. That was fun.

What will I do?

Keep posting.

The lab is always open.

This Luka trade has similar feel to the Ray Allen/Payton trade. Not the same level of players, but Mavs fans have to feel similar to how Bucks fans felt that trade deadline. :noway:

He will somehow tie it into HIS playing days in the league that has no relevance to the actual trade that happened.

Im going to pull my hair out if I hear another story about his glory dayz as the Knicks 10th man

An all time worst trade.

I was really expecting a Bobby Buckets package for Jimmy Buckets, so Novak could point out the buckets remain the same

Also lost is the fact that if AD stays healthy either Lively or Gafford are redundant. Horst needs to get on the phone with them immediately.

But also...what the **** is this Lakers team? Luka/Reeves/Lebron/Rui/??? LeBron's going to literally murder them by second quarter after they give up 73 points in the first quarter of their first game together.

if we aren't going to win the ship, it would have at least been nice to have played the Lakers in R1 and have Giannis for 100. is it too late to get rid of conferences.

Luka being traded before Zion for conditioning wasn't on my bingo card :lol:

A serious Investigation should take place ...
The Luka AD trade is "illegal"
Investigate Adam Silver
Investigate Lebron and Clutch

There has to be an underground money or power tunnel.
Maybe Lebron buys the Dallas after retirement...

One more thing ...
Investigate Bucks owners connections with Adam Silver and Boston Celtics.

The way the Bucks have lost assets and put themselves on rott mode is suspicious. Who is Horst ? Investigate him ... We have been handcuffed and our obvious mobile big need has not been filled for years now.
We lost some serious assets even before the Ring.
The Brogdon trade, the Jabari Parker asset..the haul of picks for Jrue, the latest Brook deal, the stupid coach hires both Griffin and Doc ...
Something is suspicious with the Bucks Org too.

Consider that Dame's trade made Boston a better team too. Jrue ended up in Boston.
