Reading that is dumb because the odds don’t change a lot and an extra 10% odds is not much. Plus few thought Luka was this good except maybe the Mavs and even that is not proven beyond doubt.

Here’s the logical deal: If a team valued Luka properly, they would have paid almost any price the Hawks or anybody else wanted. But no signs that teams did value him that highly, although many may not have had the assets to get him.

Mavs maybe just got a better deal but would have upped their bid. A lot of teams could not have equaled the Dallas offer but might’ve also wanted Luka.

Luka was not close to a consensus top overall pick which he clearly should’ve been. So Dakomish is treading in some major 20/20 hindsight waters which is a common but silly thing to do.

Swanigan again?

That was not the big midseason move Blazers fans imagined.

The Blazers did, in fact, draft him.

The facgt that Vlade (who I loved as a player) can't objectively assess a Slovene is neither here nor there.

are there any real obese nba players anymore ? i can't think of one. i don't think the speed of the game allows it now. you can be out of shape a bit but you can't be oliver miller or sweetney.

Team tank was very consistent,

I remember the Tank 4 Doncic memes in many threads until it became an impossibility.

DSJ. But is he an nba player?

He was a bit overweight in college. Isn't really now but his game is actually like Sweetney's a bit.
