Suns are trash

Magic fans hoping that Booker asks out

I wish we had the Suns' pick this season instead of next season.

gonna be hilarious if the Mavs actually make the play-in

They need to stop calling it a race to the play-in and instead like a reverse crawl.

I'm in middle management so I'm a bit more sympathetic towards Nico. To move up in middle mgmt., you do have to go along with orders you dislike and if you don't your career can get derailed.

But that said, some ideas are so idiotic that you can get away with defiance. And if owner really proposed Luka for AD, he could have quit and gotten another job.

Different story if owner said trade Luka I don't want to max him but I don't care where. There, he does have to make the trade but he can get a huge haul (way bigger than the actual trade).

I'm in middle management too and can understand that pain

That said, Nico's job is so high-profile that I would imagine it would be MUCH easier for him to find a job than us regular folk.

If Nico really was forced to make the deal, he would have resigned. Its that simple, he was not forced, he really thought that deal was good, thats the only scenario where guy in his position does not resign and actually make the deal. He was high respected up to this point, his team just made the finals after he made great trade dead line moves, he would have been fine, now his rep is forever destroyed. He would have resigned, its simple.

If the Mavs had gotten a super version of the Paul George-OKC-LAC haul, (tons of picks, really, really good young players) I might buy ownership forced him to do it. Luka could have netted that package and most professional GMS would have gotten it.

But that package was so terrible that it reads like a GM with Galaxy Brain rather than a meddling owner. He legit thought AD was a better and more reliable player.

Rob Pelinka looks like an AI generated version of a rich, middle aged Angeleno.

We could send it back to them as part of a trade for Booker

[shi-woo]

Dont thnk Dallas traded him because of Christe. They traded him because they didn't want to pay him.

Actually Grimes asked for out. His agent talked to Nico and made it happen. He also talked **** about how Nico treated Luka on his way out lol.

Nico catching strays from everywhere

As he should, he somehow sent out the best player in both trades he made this year. Luka and Grimes were young and had their best years in front of them, AD and Martin are on the down.

Grimes is averaging 20/4/2 with fantastic defense and shooting for PHI and just smoked the Mavs. Another guy we can add to the list of players traded away to sabotage the MAvs.

KP
Luka
Grimes
Brunson

Mavs are 7 and 13, -8.7 since that trade. They've been legit worst team in the association caliber since their GM went Galaxy Brain.

[Archx]

Feels like Doncic should already have like 15 assists already. Lakers missing a ton of open looks tonight. And Koloko is even worse than Len, didn't think that was possible.

Hayes always reminding me of Side Show Bob

[RB34]

Cmon Jaxson all you gotta do is stand there with your hands up and catch lobs on the other end.

Why? Isn't there a good chance they might actually be worse next season?

RJ "Jury is still out if Suns drafted the right player in Ayton"

Peak ESPN reporting ...

[Mamba Mentality]

RJ really just said the jury is still out on whether Ayton was the right choice over Luka. Gotta be trolling.

[Handlez]

It's a miracle Lakers are actually a decent team with that talent.

Terrible roster.

Ayton played at Arizona.

It was a decent joke.

Super waek to call that a flagrant if they do
