Luka AD trade thread Part II

[JujitsuFlip]

Kyrie. Moves to his natural PG position and let Chrsitie develop alongside him an come off the bench. They lost their best defensive players and picked up a 270 pound hamburgular who plays the same role as bron.

Lakers REALLY **** up. GG.

Irving can’t run an offense.

But I do agree… this isn’t as good of a trade for LA as people are making it out to be.

Yes he can. Lol. And he will. We shall see

No he can't. Guy averages 5.6 APG for a reason.

He's a SG. Not a floor general.

It's annoying that the grifters of media look for every opportunity to turn every single thing as something to rage against things/people/organizations they don't like. But I get it. They're not on the biggest networks anymore so they have to grift to feed the rage/angry fanbases of modern society because that is how they can pay their bills. It's just obvious that they try way to hard to appeal to their most fervent audience to the point that you wonder do they actually have any thoughts of their own about anything.

The NBA owned the Pelicans at the time.

This trade will go through, no problem. The NBA does not own either team.

That's not how it works. The commissioner has a obligation to keep the integrity of the game intact.

So not vetoing the trade tells us all we need to know about this soap opera ****.

I don’t think that’s how this all works. Silver can’t just veto a trade because he doesn’t like it.

NBA commissioner has the power to do what they want. No trade will happen without passing him first. If both teams have agreed there's about 0 chance he'll intertwine. People bring up Stern blocking Chris Paul to the Lakers back in the day but a lot of them don't know that was solely because the Hornets at the time were managed by the NBA due to the teams ownership issues and Stern saw it as a a conflict of interests if he traded Paul to LA and make them the best team in the league.

Nothing wrong with those numbers, my boy. Averaging those numbers alongside LeBron and Luka actually proves my point if you watch hoops.

We’ve seen trades get vetoed before, and one of the most famous ones also involved the Lakers. Funny thing is, the Lakers package for CP3 was actually solid. This on the other hand is lopsided beyond comprehension.

I don’t see the trade going through.

It's already officially done.

And this is also wild. From Jake Fischer.

Dallas had contacted several teams this week, looking to reroute additional salary for a potential three-team deal, sources said.

A bunch of teams knew inklings about the Mavericks being close on a trade.

Nobody knew it was trading Luka Doncic.

Not getting Reaves or Knecht from the Lakers out of this is the biggest malpractice on the Mavs side, or least a **** ton of picks and pick swaps. That's the most damning thing about this trade. There's no way Rob/Jeanie would have said no to this trade if they wanted one of those two guys.

This tweet doesn't even acknowledge Gasol who without they don't have 2 titles.

Not to mention Howard who immediately bailed on them in the biggest wtf ever up to that point.

That is 100% how it works.

Using the CP3 trade as an example makes no sense... Because again, David Stern, the NBA commissioner at the time was simultaneously acting as the owner/governor of the Pelicans.

Literally incorrect. This man forced a owner to sell his team because he didn't like him practicing his right to free speech in the privacy of his own home. Where was the precedent for that??

"The constitution does not lay out specific scenarios in which the commissioner has the authority to nullify a transaction. It simply grants him the blanket authority to do so as he sees fit.

So naw. The integrity of the game is dead and they will continue to bleed viewers because people are now woke to the rot that is the fix. It's that bad. The league is dying.

Yeah and the very next paragraph says the commissioner would immediately be fired by the owners.

The owners care about money. Luka on the Lakers generates more money for the League, as a whole.

Silver isn't vetoing crap, nor should he.

Yeah, so it's obvious he wasn't shopped around.

Huge 'PR/Media' blow to Mavericks & flock of Luka's bandwagoners to the Lakers!

[hauntedcomputer]

It’s been like 15 years and people still don’t understand why stern was allowed to veto the cp3 trade

Half the thread thinks Cuban still owns the Mavs.

What if this is an Adelson 4-D chess move to get to Vegas before Lebron does?
