Luka traded to the Lakers

[Dirk2Doncic]

Nico was not acting in the best interest of the team or the organization with this trade. But being a private company doesn't make you answerable to any government regulating body of some sort. His gamble will either pay of or bite him in the ass.

It has already bit him, not that he cares though.

Again, I've seen this level of arrogance, tone deafness, and stupidity at high executive levels in the corporate world before so it's easy for me to believe what Nico said including his body language in the presser. In that aspect, I'm not surprised because the corporate world is where Nico came from.

AD walking to shootaround with our King, Dwight Powell. Safest job on the planet.

He knows who the Alpha is...

AD about to learn a thing or two today.

He looks fine, they all do except PJ, he was really down when they interviewed him

This is the best situation for Kyrie, great defensive roster and a wing and a big who can isolate and score.
He's needs to secure his new deal and then he'll be free to make demands.

They don't seem sad at all. No more lack of accountability. Ignoring your teammates. Showing up your teammates. No defense. Out of shape. Constantly arguing with refs and not getting back. Let's not pretend like Luka was so fun to play with. I think when Kyrie got here he relaxed a lot and was a lot more easy going but he wasn't always the best teammate. Just because you get teammates open shots doesnt mean you can berate them and show them up with your body language. Before anyone accuses me of taking shots at Luka when he's gone - ive been saying the whole time he was here.

Yeah, I didn't see any of that, they loved the guy and went to battle for him, he is passionate and wear his emotions on his sleeve, all the great ones do.

Yeah but he's suppose to be their best player and a leader and didn't care to come back in shape. Thus missed 11 games in Nov and then got injured. So, in fairness, people are saying nice things about him, but his actions say a lack of commitment to winning. Which is a slap in the face to his teammates.

Nico is about the X and Os. He's just looking at KPIs and thinking what's the quickest way to do job and net the same result. He's not taking into account the emotional factor that the fanbase has for their star. Corporate Human Resource nowadays don't even include names in assessment forms. They just look at KPIs. You hit those or you're out. In that aspect, I see what he's implementing. But it doesn't work that way with sports teams. You have more things to consider than that.

Everything alright with you? Kinda big conclusions after just watching 30 seconds of warmup. Maybe his teammates demanded the trade?

Yes, I'm fine. I'm just pushing back on this narrative that Luka was not at fault in this as well. If Luka came back in great shape and leading this team - the ownership could not have justified trading him. Keep in mind, last year, before we upgraded centers and add PJ - there is now way that team goes to the finals...we thought we might even miss the play-in. The previous year we missed the playoffs when Kyrie got here and Luka was injured again. After making the finals, he pulls this same stuff. I'm just calling him out. He needs to take his health and leadership seriously. Hopefully he does that. But let's not act like Luka's unprofessionalism didnt help him get traded. It definitely made it easier for mgmt. I do not believe Luka is traded this year if he shows up in shape and avoids injuries.

Yeah.. can't wait for Mavr to ban this troll. He's working overtime these past few days lol.

Just simply looking at this graph can tell you how drastically this team improved since 2018 draft and went downhill again since injury.

Nico, how are you doing? Are your bodyguards doing good job?

I agree that Luka's not perfect. Only homers would defend that. But it comes with the great ones. Michael Jordan punched Steve Kerr in the mouth and that white boy fell in line real quick. The great ones sometimes do. Shaq wasn't a joy to be around either in his prime. But it is what it is. Deal's done.

I'm not a troll. Notice, I don't take personal shots at people. But Luka can do no wrong with some of these fans. The dude literally is unprofessional. Acts like a toddler on the court for years. The team literally had to sit down with him and tell him to stop complaining to the refs. Literally tried to help him with his weight but he told them he has his own staff but he still comes back overweight. Nico did Luka a favor that he wouldn't do himself. That's the truth. He would still be here if he was more professional b/c i dont see how they could justify trading him if he's healthy and the team's winning.

Plenty of superstars in sports are NOT natural leaders. Many of them grow into it. Some never do.

Good grief, what kind of leader do you think MJ was at 25? I'll answer. He wasn't.

The first half of Dirk's career he was NOT a leader, did NOT have ice water in his veins, was NOT a cold blooded killer. He was NOT physically strong. All of that changed with Dirk over time, after years of growth including mentally he became all of that and among the highest level the league has ever seen. Also, Dirk didn't take care of his body early in his career. That happened later too.

Talk about your microwave gratification, microwave expectations. Give these guys a chance to grow and mature man. We aren't talking about a terrible human being here. We aren't talking about bi-polar like was the case with Mark Aguirre.

Doncic though, IS a cold blooded killer. He's Larry Legend #2 RIGHT NOW in that regard, It's LEGENDARY, and Nico pissed it away.

You do know the Dallas Mavericks were in the most recent NBA finals right?

Are you aware of these 3 things?

1st. Mavs drastically improved as a team under Luka.

2nd. Ja Morant was flashing guns while constantly being drunk live on stream and he's still with the MEM. He's constantly injured aswell but they aren't idiots like Nico who would move him just like that. Plus Morant doesn't even have any real result to show for him, neither does Zion for that matter.

3rd. Luka came last season in his best shape since bubble working under Anze Macek. You want the BIG news? Nico fired Anze Macek just before season started leaving Luka with nothing.

So... again, stop with the BS and do some fact checking. And yes you are trolling. No one agrees with your opinions here.

Hey guys Raptors fan here , who suffered years of mediocrity.

Just wanted to know have you guys started a petition or an online campaign?

With the right push , you guys can get the most signed sports petition of all time.

At the very least that disgrace of a human being - Nico,
Would be fired.

[G R E Y]

Mavs fans, I'm so so sorry you have to go through this. Absolute disgrace of a self inflicted wound. I don't know what else to say. You have to believe an FO is working in the best interests of the team. This has a sociopath idiot fox in hen house feel to it. Stunned. Sorry. I don't know what else to say...

I don't want him fired now, I want him to continue this mad expirement, I want him to have one PO game with the championship winning defense, I want to see him sitting courtside against Luka.
He already make the damge, Mavs are out of draft picks, the future is destroyed, I want him to be in charge of the present he created.

Shams is reporting Luka is playing Saturday mosy likely.
