NBA Regular Season thread: Tank for Cooper Flagg Initiated

[wlu.29]

That shit doesn't even make sense. Luka is 25 and just went to the Finals. Many of the best players in history didn't even start winning rings until they were 27 or older. This has to be the worst trade in history because not only did the Mavs almost give Luka away, Luka IS Dallas basketball, it murders the franchise. If Nico Harrison thinks things are going to go smooth from here, he is high AF. This trade makes him instantly hated in Dallas, forever.

Maybe

There's a 10% chance Luka starts a path towards being like embiid and zion.

Luka isn't typical, he's been playing pro for so long, and he could have reached his peak already. His conditioning and health could be on a steady decline

I wonder what Trae young is thinking about this deal

They must have believed that Luka in last years finals is the best he will be, and only downhill

They can't beat boston with Luka, they have a x% chance better with AD

Having Luka as an offensive weapon is the only reason they could even get to Boston. It was a young team and it’s normal to fail on your first time in the finals, Boston took a long time and a loss in the finals to become the team they have become.

Luka unlocked the potential of so many of the players on the Mavs.

The Mavs with AD could be nice for a year or two, but AD gets injured a lot, and routinely disappears in the play offs. It’s not gonna take them to the promise land, meanwhile Luka was dragging mediocre mav squads through the play offs putting up 40 point triple doubles.

You probably didn’t watch them that much, he was the most electrifying offensive player in basketball, with lots of room to mature and grow.

I just hope the lakes can get Luka some help..

Sounds like wishful thinking..

Meh

Easy to have monster stats with a single Finals appearance together, lol.

LA Lakers are the NBA’s KC Chiefs. League wants them to win before LeFlop hangs them up. Now AD should question just how strong his friendship is to LeFlop if his “friend” let him get traded like that. And anyone saying LBJ doesn’t have any say so is lying to themselves.

This isn’t even one of those “oh well I can kinda see it” or “eventually it will pay off” moves. It just makes 0 sense. I mean AD is even injured right now as we speak.

 

[FyrFytr998]

Just confirming……..it’s not April 1st?

He has detonated the franchise. Think about this, Kyrie and Klay came to Dallas specifically to play with Luka. I can't see either of them staying for long. AD is a big market player, he will never be happy in Dallas. Nico has detonated a franchise that just went to the Finals. He says the Mavs will be able to compete going forward but I don't see how, the big name players in Dallas will not resign. Kyrie, Klay, and AD will be gone wihtin 1-2 seasons, if not sooner.

Have you seen Nico’s comments about it? He’s either brainwashed or delusional. He even cited his decades long relationship with his good pal Pelinka which makes me highly suspicious. What an idiotic thing to say after committing the worse trade in history.

Lmao @ mavs

He's a fucking pussy ass bitch thats what he is

 

[Revolver]

kind of feel bad for GAyD. He asked for help and they send him to a shit hole franchise.

 

[HereticBD]

What an impossibly stupid trade.

 

[MM808]

No shit Einstein. Congrats on the career suicide (unless his end game was to take over with the lakers eventually)

 

[Revolver]

Once my lakers get Bryce they will win 5 straight chips.

So not only will they lead the lakes to the promise land but judging by this pic they might also be gay lovers. Idk about that second part but the dynasty bit sounds good to me.
