Comments
Lakers are selling the season with this trade, ofc I’m saying this with hindsight but this roster ain’t it with Luka, would be mad if I was Bron idk may be reactionary

2025-02-08 22:43:58 +0000 UTCOne good point I heard in Nico Harrison’s favor is that you could probably not get a single player better than AD in a trade for Luka. Tatum, Jokic, SGA, Giannis, Wemby, all likely unavailable even for Luka. They still should have gotten more in addition to AD, but there’s one point. Ultimately I blame Miriam Adelson who blew too much money on destroying Gaza and getting Trump elected.

2025-02-07 00:43:27 +0000 UTCObviously Luca is secretly a trans man and now thanks to Drumpfs executive order he's worthless to the Lakers. Good move by the Mavs.

2025-02-06 19:04:37 +0000 UTCGoing to be fun to watch the Mavs beat the Lakers in the playoffs this year.

2025-02-06 17:44:59 +0000 UTCSean should have said "I want a Laker with a Slovene"

2025-02-06 17:04:06 +0000 UTCThe laughing over the comical reason Luka was traded was infectious. Loved this episode
Bill Vog
2025-02-06 16:59:37 +0000 UTCSean nailed it with the vibes take. Nico/the new owners just said "fuck this guy"
derve
2025-02-06 16:04:13 +0000 UTCYou and every other media outlet need to stop saying "rockets could trade sengun" yall are idiots if you think we're giving him up

2025-02-06 15:42:33 +0000 UTCWas hoping this would make me feel better 😞

2025-02-06 14:28:13 +0000 UTCWhy should I remain a Mavs fan when Miriam Adelson, already a terrible human being, reveals herself to be a cheapskate owner and Nico reveals himself to be a gullible, tunnelvisioned GM who will take bad deals to get a player he likes. He said one reason he made the trade is because you have to build a team around Luka. THAT'S EVERY GM'S JOB DESCRIPTION. Every GM builds around their best talent! And when he built the team around Luka, they made the Finals! Absolute dummy excuses from Nico.

2025-02-06 14:18:19 +0000 UTCThe whole thing is as dumb as the look on that Dumont owner-guys face. He looks like a mannequin

2025-02-06 14:11:42 +0000 UTCIn the end it is a bad plan. Because the team wont get moved, but they will try to tank assuming that,in theory, the owners could move an aimless team.
ChuteShark
2025-02-06 14:07:45 +0000 UTCBasically, ownership bought the team for 1 reason l: Leverage in lobbying the state to legalize gambling. And since the state hasn’t caved to gambling yet. They did this. Probably the most refunds on season tickets ever

2025-02-06 14:06:09 +0000 UTCCarls right. Tom Haberstraw interviewed a Dallas lawyer that makes a good case for how and why this all happened.
