The top3 bigs(if we consider Giannis a big).

So AD isn't a top3 big, let alone top3 in general.

In case I was too subtle, "bend over backwards" means... whatever you want it to mean.


You kind of have to wonder if Silver made the call or whatever and there is money thrown under the table. Silver was sitting on 100,000 BTC and transferred a portion which is untraceable to the Mavs to facilitate this...who knows.

That's why BTC exists, for trades like this

Dude literally just invoked "that's my job." Wow.

Nico either has a foresight I don't understand or he's doing his best impersonation of his hero Custer at Little Big Horn.

If AD was actually a top 3 player the Lakers would have multiple rings with him. Instead they’ve lost 4-0, 4-1 in consecutive years.

Even if you consider it a reach(i don't ), others will tell you Embiid. We're talking bigs only.
Not including guards and wings who are clearly better players.
Top10 player, definitely yes. That's it.

Lakers absolutely ran this by LeBron and got his approval.

I doubt it. The Lakers don't care about LeBron's opinion on major moves. They ignored him when he begged to trade first rounders for like 2 years. Ignored him when he wanted to keep the team together after 2021. The best they did was throw him a bone drafting Bronny and that's something any NBA team would've done.
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

Seriously I am sure the Mavs could have gotten a much better package from a number of teams, but I assume it was decided that Luka will go to the Lakers and only the Lakers.

I want someone to bring this thread up when Luka raises the championship trophy as a Laker and the Mavs have crashed out early in the Playoffs.

The top 5 guys are clearly Luka - Giannis - Jokic - Tatum and SGA… AD ain’t even 6th- wemby is up next and surpased AD - healthy Embiid is better than AD- People would take Edwards over AD…

Literally no one sees AD close to Edwards -

People have KD over AD -

curry over AD -

wtf no one agrees with this thread


Nah.

1-Jokic
2- SGA
3- AD

KD way out of his prime, Tatum some nights plays like he's top 3, and Edwards is the same.

AD is in there somewhere when taking defensive impact into account.

AD didn’t register legit MVP votes on
This board this year on the RealGM board and Luka always top 3-5- no one believes you. People started the year thinking a healthy Luka is the second best player on earth after jokic surpassing giannis.

But the fact that you have AD ahead of Giannis and Luka means you are either 12 or 13 years old- but you are not serious about ball.

This is the worse trade in nba or sports history - This is trading young Mahomes for Stafford
