Carrying these bums to playoffs and now Nico thinks AD is the future? Interesting choice.

Also, Twitter is too funny.

You can't trade Luka because he is injury prone and then add AD
That makes no sense at all. Nothing makes sense.

Imaging being the lakes and you get a call where they offer Luka. Why are they always the lucky franchise. Finally they show age and then a retarted franchise offers a goat talented franchise player? Come on

There has to be something under table. I hope so. I need this to accept it

Beyond devastated. There's just no other way to describe it.

You don't ever trade a generational player who's just approaching his prime and has shown no indications of wanting out. This is like straight out of a Twilight Zone episode. Please wake me up.

Being a fan can be tough. You get so emotionally invested on a team and then you get hit with something like this out of freaking nowhere. Sometimes you just have to remind yourself that at the end of the day, this is just basketball. In the end, it doesn't really matter.

Damn it.

He is pissed about hiding the trade and not telling Luka. He believes that Luka deserved better for everything he did for the club. On the other hand he believes the trade will eventually be good for Luka. He's saying that they want to apologise now, but it's to late. They traded him and should live with it.

Playing for a scumbag like Nico for sure can't be good for anyone, so I have to agree with Sasa. Mavs **** up in every possible way, roster wise and public relations wise. Incompetent bunch.

WOW!

I feel bad for you guys. I would have never guessed Luka (who is a franchise player) would get traded midseason after last year's finals run.

I'd also be mad at the package you guys got back and remember that Rudy Gobert got 4 1st rounders when he got traded.

I'm watching Slightly Biased stream, the funniest and most cheerful person in Mavs land, and it's depression...

So if he believes the trade will eventually be good for Luka, and Nico on the other hand believes the trade will be good for his side too, then where is the problem? Both sides seem good with it then.

Kidd looked like he's been held hostage when Nico talked :lol: Legit one of the most funniest **** you could watch. I kinda feel bad for him if i'm being honest. Nico and his bud Rob did something so under the table it's incredible to even think about it.

The problem is that Nico is an idiot.

Seeing adults complain like the sky is falling for a sports related thing is quite amusing to me. I've been locked up for stock market related things and I've complained way less than this.

Look, Luka can play in Lakers or go elsewhere, if he wants. What exactly will Mavs fans do, if things won't work out and Mavs having no control about picks from 27-30? Luka is for sure, not knowing anything about the deal, in bad position now. But long term Mavs are **** with that move and Luka will still playing competitive basketball wherever he wants. Reasoning for that gambling move is that Mavs have more chances to win with AD than Luka. :lol:

Let's assume that's true. And so what? It's sports entertainment. I surely don't lose sleep over it.

But I do understand that there are levels to fandom and you guys seem more invested in this than me. So the frustration is understandable.

There's got to be some **** going on behind the scenes. Strings were pulled to gift Luka to the Lakers. This needs to be investigated.

I hope there is major backlash against this.
