The re-emergence of Kawhi is compelling. Cementing Luka Doncic as the new international face of the NBA is more compelling.
People are totally disregarding the fact that Luka gives absolutely 0 effort on defense how is this excusable ? lol and why are they talking about AD like he’s not elite. Wild times we’re in no accountability in this era
We don't care if it's NYC,OKC,LAC #PISTONSIN5
Nico’s negotiation skills proved to be nothing less than mediocre.
people can speculate all they want but ill TELL YOU WHY THEY TRADED LUKA! new owners are casino owners and theyre pushing for gambling in texas. theyre leveraging the dallas mavs to get political standing to allow them to lobby for changing the gambling laws there so they can open a casino there as well. This was even echoed by mark cuban when he spoke about how to be profitable in basketball these days. this isnt a talent issue, its a bottom dollar issue and the owners dont care about winning a chip, they want the profits and benefits of being in texas and bringing in gambling as well. which is why they wanted away from Lukas contract and picked up ADs expiring one
We're gonna have a press conference but you're not allowed to document anything I say. Lol, duh.
Bro can Y'all stfu about having to talk about Lakers? Fans don't make you, show runners do
The decision to trade Luka was business. The package negotiated was an act of treason.
I agree with mad dog
We don't care if it's NYC,OKC,LAC #PISTONSIN5
Nico trading away Luka desperately was not on my bingo card. Dude that was a desperate idiotic move from NICO
@suns go get van gundy
Nico you are bad person
Yelp they evaded paying a player that deserves it and they should be held accountable for their actions. No team should be able to do this
Bad dei hire
@suns go get mark jackson
Not sure about Harden when it's in the play-offs. Lakers will still be in the Finals
A 14-year-old kid would not make that trad on 2K let alone in real life. I get it if Luca had to go then at bare minimum, you could’ve shopped him around the league to get max value, if you really made this trade to better than the mavs instead of doing some back door deal with only the Lakers and the Lakers are the only one benefiting from that trade. It makes no sense.
Nico is a JACKA%%, & he sounds like a JACKA%%, he didnt want cameras, there bc he didnt want everyone to see how stupid he looks talking garbage #NightCap
These guys are crazy man every time the clippers do a lil good they hop on the train
He didn't like Luka that's it.
need to see mad dickehad & brian fatboy shoot a basketball just once. tired of hearing these dweebs talk basketball.
Stop with the Kyrie stuffs. Remember the Celtics went to the Eastern Conference Championship without kyrie
