Luka AD trade thread Part II

[Dirk2Doncic]

There is no way around this, this is one of if not the worst trade in nba history. This up there with the nets KG-Pierce trade and the Clippers SGA trade. I may even say its worse because the mavericks literally broke up a team that just went to the finals with their best player 25 years old.

Add global icon to that.

It's the worst, ever.

I heard a report today on local sports radio of kids in the DFW area who are unconsolable.

Fire the corporate maggot GM. Then sell the team.

Billboards are coming. Maggot GM and owners get to know they are there for all the world to see 24/7.

Nico will forever be known as the guy who traded Luka Donic. What an awful legacy to leave.

A reenactment of the trade in case anyone missed it...

A bit long winded, but very good video explaining the whole conspiracy side to Luka trade in simple terms. This is something I feel is way more belivable than "Dum Dum Nico belives defense wins championship, didn't want fat Luka on the team, was buddies with Pelinka and everything sort-of just happened" which is the stance of reasonable enlightened members of basketball community, that just don't like to ask too many questions.

Give it a view, and if you don't think that there is something going on, please tell us why it's so unbeliveable.

I'm just here to say Max Christie is nice, nice replacement for Grimes

After seeing how the trade shapes up post-Mark Williams deal, re-shaping the roster within the season shows they want to try and replicate their title team. Mark Williams is no Dwight defensively, but LeBron being able to play AD's role a bit offensively while Luka takes the LeBron reigns in certain aspects is gonna make it tough for a lot of teams to cover. When Luka gets on the low block, or LeBron does, teams will have a tough time deciding who they stop.

Dallas is pretty well balanced, too. They could use one more ball handler, but other than that, for this season, both teams are pretty balanced out. in five years? A whole 'nother story.

I worry Dallas is damagingly low on passing. Every guy they've been putting on that team for years has been to compliment Luka. Rim divers and catch & shoot guys. Kyrie, Exum, and Dinwiddie are their playmakers and they'll try to use AD as a hub. That's not amazing. Kyrie has grown as a connective passer, but has always looked stretched as a pure on-ball playmaker. He doesn't bring two to the ball a ton. It will be interesting to see him in pick & roll with AD and see if being paired with that level of roll man will help. Dallas hasn't lacked for elite roll men though... though AD is more versatile than LIvely or Gafford.

The Mavs are about to fully unlock Naji Marshall.

He's definitely the best ball handler and playmaker amongst your wings.

Not a wing, and not currently playing, but Lively is another sneaky good passer. He can hit the corner on the short roll as well as anyone.

He's better than Knecht. Too many talking heads for my liking that have barely watched both players this season

Can't they waive and stretch someone to open space for a buyout Brogdon, Simmons or Brown?

Lively was great with Luka, especially when they doubled Luka, who will play pick&roll with him?

Mark Williams has missed 65% of his games. mark Day to Day williams to replace a “kinda sorta durable lately” AD… it’s ok - but he is a good lob threat

Kyrie can pass- kyrie just normally thinks his shot is better than the next guys… Luka not coming back so Dallas needs to adjust and let Kyrie play power forward like he wants - and let Spence play point- I’m joking - kyrie is really a 2 guard that can pass -

Maybe he can but he isn't passing after Luka went down. For example maybe he hate Klay, but he had 2 assists to him in January.

The NFL players at the Super Bowl are talking about it, too.

On a separate note, I always knew that Tim MacMahon was a hack but I never realized just how much of a shill he was before this episode.

Now his attitude towards Luka makes more sense to me. Mavericks front office shill.
