Re: Luka AD trade thread Part II
Don't get why people are criticizing Nico. How many teams have had the chance to trade a 25 yo perennial all NBA player. He pe probably will never get that chance again.

This is 100% correct btw. The guy I get my meth from said he sat in with Adelsons and Silver when the deal went down and he confirms it.
Well its really not that deep to me either way tbh but if the Mavs do move to LV within a few years I'd say its a sign I might have been right.
It's a completely reasonable take don't stress about it mate.

If you were Milwaukee, would you have made that trade?
No way.

Luka The Don do you know who he is?
Did you watch The Chosen 1 at 40 be the best player on the court in MSG last night?
You can doubt all you want, but these games will be played and not many duos better than this. Luka going to be motivated after they shipped him off like he was damaged goods.
Bet on the Lakers they thrive in these moments.

Re: Luka AD trade thread Part II
The other team Nico called was probably offering too much for Luka

Mavs with a 43 point loss. You cannot deny that this franchise took a massive hit.

They were missing their FIVE best players. I don't think you can say anything based on this afternoon's game lol

Didn’t realize how many people built these parasocial relationships with Luka. Actually quite frightening.

LAL are now seriously lacking at the 4/5. Luka and LBJ as your 3/4 with no NBA caliber big men at the five will get them crushed on D and on the boards. Got a feeling it'll be blamed on Reeves when they flame out from the play ins.

Well Luka is gone and AD is injured. Maybe you should ask Nico.

It's going to be interesting for sure. In addition to screaming at their teammates you need to account for them also whining to the refs.
I hope AD does well in Dallas.

Also account for Luka fake limping after every turnover while complaining to the refs. Peak entertainment along with two superstars known to flop.
AD will be fine.

Oh the Lakers as currently constructed are the worst defensive team in the league - thats with Vando and DFS on the roster. That's how bad Luka-AR-Lebron will be...Teams with a halfway decent pick and roll attack will eat them alive and teams that get out and score on the break are going to FEAST

Re: Luka AD trade thread Part II
Mavs fans on youtube showing their class on youtube lol. They're really talking about AD as if they got some Bum lol. They are legit talking about booing him when he plays.
Rooting for AD and Christie. They're gonna beast.

Yeah find it hard to believe he didn't have a heads up on this one.
