Mavs ownership would’ve traded him for Andrew Bynum

Fina watch Luka make his Lakers debut how he's probably going to be playing limited mins but whatever

LFG. Lucuck.

It’s a beyond stupid catastrophic trade! I just don’t like Lukas style of play , it’s slow isolation type ball most of the time
And he complains a lot a
when his shot is off.

Fair, I watch every game and I found that for most of last years reg season they got into a good rhythm of ball movement. Luka had periods of heavy iso, but they dealt with the Thunder and wolves in the p offs, so..

It can be a lot of iso ball, but the games are really exciting.. watching a lot of nba teams in his absence has made me realise how boring some of these teams are to watch..

Different strokes for different Folks I guess.

Luka is CRASHING ESPN+


Lmao

 

[Jonathan Utah]

Wish Luka’s debut was against a better team. Utah are trying their hardest to land Cooper Flagg.

Love seeing Luka back but hate it so much it’s in the purple and gold.

I think Jaxson Hayes will be the true beneficiary on this offense. First two plays easy alley Oop dunks from Bron and Luka

It still doesn't make sense to me. Fuck the Mavs owners!!!!!!!

As a Kings fan it makes sense. Rigged by the League.

Luka already looking this good in his first game back and not in basketball shape is scary. 72-49 at the half geez

 

[Revolver]

Lakers look great with Lucuck. LFG.

 

[Unknown Pleasures]

Utah is playing trash, but any team with Lebron and L(uk)A has a lot of IQ. Expect good things from them.

Watched the Nuggets beat up on Portland who has been playing good ball as of late, but damn, the officiating on Big Honey today was a total joke. Obvious shooting fouls were being called on the floor, and some obvious fouls were just not being called. Shitty Coach Malone got T'd up, and Jamal got kicked out (unrelated), but I'm more convinced than ever that the league is basically trying to make the game more difficult for Jokic.

He still put up 40 on 15 for 22 shooting but he got robbed of another 7 or so points.

Meanwhile in Dallas:

-Gafford gets hurt in what could be a serious injury.
-Fan kicked out of the game to a chorus of boos for just mouthing “fire Nico” on Jumbotron
-JKidd doesn’t do a post game presser for the first time in his entire mavs tenure as head coach.
-Dirk supporting Luka in LA on the same night there is a mavs game being played in Dallas









Hate to see it but this is the fallout and damn it’s happening quick. Sucks for the players having to suffer for the FO’s bullshit.

Yeah after Luka plays in Dallas, the fans will have to let it go after that.

I get it if people can’t be effed going to games.

But yeah Kyrie and the rest of the squad are awesome, and they deserve to be cheered, so hopefully the fans get behind them.

Nico’s legacy is literally gonna be, the guy who traded Luka, it’ll follow him to his grave.

My gripe about this trade is ESPN and Lakers stans are going to be spamming every marginally above average play involving Lebron and Luka as amazing highlight reel moments. It's gonna be painful.

Comes with the territory. Luka is magic though so it would probably be a legit highlight anyways lol

I expect a mix bag of legit and overzealousness. But throw in Bronny highlights and headlines of him having a 6 point game and it could tilt the scales negatively lol.

 

[Prex32]

AD was probably traded because they knew he was hurt and questionable for the playoffs
poor guy had to play anyway to distract from the fact it was all staged for leFraud cuz hes time is running out to catch up with mj`s 6 rings
