Miami Heat Luka Dončić Hopes Up In Smoke After He Extends w/ Lakers
Luca Donic never wanted him. You guys sat here. You didn’t want to hire Goran Dragage. You sat on your You sat on your hands and you just let his big Slovenian Bratte sit on the sidelines. And look at you. Now you got Rob Pelinka handd delivered another star. No work whatsoever. Just delivered because some reason the Mavericks and the Lakers had some giant conspiracy here and you guys couldn’t even get it to to to to a place of of appeasement and hope. Luca Donuch has signed with the Lakers. Everybody, if you haven’t heard the news, he is signed a three-year extension player option after two. Then after that, he can sign for five 417. Crazy amount of money. Uh he’s gone. He’s gone, y’all. He’s He’s He’s just It’s over. It’s never been more It’s never been more over. our our our sweet hopes of of bringing in a another Slovenian to the Miami Heat franchise dead. The Miami Heat. Look, can I get really mad at them? I guess not. I mean, like, what the hell was the He said he in the first place he never wanted to leave Dallas. What the hell was this trade in the first place? But, you know, you you could have at least brought Goron into the fold and would have been like, you know, hey, listen, this is not where you want to be. But, you know, you didn’t even do there was no proactive moves to to make this happen anyway. But, you know, whatever. Like I said, I I never wanted Luca Donuch anyway. All right. Too many red flags. I don’t believe that men’s health they already got caught lying in that article anyway over his vertical. So, you know, I’m not upset. I’m not upset at all. You know, it’s Bam going over to Greece now. Now we know who was recruiting who. Lucas probably trying to flip LeBron for Bam. Oh my god. Tough. Stupid harpoons. I’m just stupid. Stupid, stupid boy. Who Who do you even sharpen a harpoon? Who’s even worth a harpoon anymore for the Miami Heat, right? Like, who who’s even worth it? Who who who’s even worth getting my hopes up for? Who? Ant-Man. He’s got like four years left on his extension. Too young. Giannis never leaving. He’s like 611 Bradley Beal. And I don’t mean that by credentials. I just mean that he likes to get flirted with all the time. Zion like the Pelicans are just trying to maybe maybe he’ll work out. You know, John Morant tweeting like a crazy person. I have no idea what’s going on there. You know, I don’t even know. Joker. It’s a joke to even think about this dude’s crying over horses. Think he wants to come down here. So stupid. But yeah, I saw the news. I saw the news. I didn’t feel great. I’m not surprised by it, you know, like they’re the Lakers. This is the thing, you know, like if if you’re going to sit here and you’re going to be like, “Oh man, Luca’s is he gonna want to stay with like the Jazz?” Then okay. I mean, like, is Luca going to want to stay with, you know, the Nets? Okay. I mean, but like if it’s the Lakers, it’s the Lakers. The the they they get delivered everything. They’ve had every great star known to man. Only one time somebody leaving the Lakers has like benefited the Miami Heat. And it’s it’s Shaq making a stink and and that benefiting the Heat, you know, like he wasn’t whatever. But, you know, I I do think this is where the pivot point has to come for the Heat. And and maybe this is where they’re at, right? Because we’ve had this whole 2026 thing, which was already getting cold water thrown on it. Now, no, no, no, no, no. 27 like for for who? For for Joker? Like, who who are you getting in 27? You know what? What you really need to do is get your attitude right. All right? And you need to start saying like we don’t need Luca Donuch because we got Lithuanian Luca. All right. Casper Yakonis. That’s the attitude you need to have. All right. He will ne and you never have to fat shame him. Dude’s jacked already and he’s like a child. So you don’t even have to worry about it. and and and then you know Yovic dude, you know, hopefully that could be your your your matchup. Those two running with the ball in their hands, beautiful things happen and maybe this can be what conquers and ras the makes the heat rise like a phoenix. I don’t know why I’m sound like a co out Conor McGregor, but just upset. Why? I don’t know. I should have seen this coming a mile away. You guys sat here. You didn’t even want to think about giving, you know, Goran a gig and being like, “Braat, don’t go there to Rob Balinka, idiot.” No, you didn’t. You didn’t even think about it, did you? Silly. Silly. Three years for Luca Donic with the LA Lakers to stick around. They just got gift wrapped. This this this Slovenian prince now he’s thin podcast boy JJ Reddic gets to coach him gets to do me undies live reads and coach Luca Donuch. What? Why did he deserve that? Why doesn’t Spoke deserve Luca Donuch? So silly. And we’re sitting here trying to figure things out. 3 years 165 unreal. Lucas said, “I’m really grateful to the Lakers organization, my teammates, and the fans for welcoming me and my family so much with kindness since day one. It’s amazing organization. I truly believe in what we’re building together. Going to keep working hard to bring another championship to the Lakers and to make Laker Nation proud. This is just the beginning. I’m excited for what’s up ahead to keep building something special with this team. Cool. Well, the only thing that we got now is we got to see, you know, this LeBron James. How’s he doing? He’s like, what is he posting himself at the at the Clippers facility making a stink? So, like that’s the only thing that’s left here is like, hey, can LeBron rock the boat a little bit so we can say be like, eh, you know, but I don’t even think that’s going to get like Luca. Luca is probably going to be like, all right, dude. You know, like that’s I don’t even feel like that’s it doesn’t matter anymore. He’s signed. That was like the only like that was the card like, “Oh, LeBron’s making us stink. Maybe he loves LeBron so much that’s going to make Luke upset.” Nope. Nothing. He’s probably like, “Get out of my organization, old man. with your belly aching. Luca’s show now. New sheriff. New sheriff in town. Whatever, dude. I got Casper’s Yakonis. Okay. I got Pella Larson. I got I got euros on top of euros to watch a Euro basket. You’re not going to shake me, dude. All right. It’s like it’s like Chumbo Womba said in in in that song. All right. I’ll get knocked down, but I’ll get up again. You’re never going to keep me down. Is that the who who the hell sing that song? Chumba womba. Yeah, we’ll be singing when they’re winning. Tub thumping. That is a good song. That is a good song. But I don’t even really know. Like I honestly the whole whale thing like who is the next guy for the Heat like if that’s the way they’re going to go the route they’re going to go which is probably not how they should go. They should go and find their own. They should hope Casper’s Yakonis. They should hope Nicole Yoic. They should hope KL Wear. They should put all their eggs in developing those guys. Norm Pal is a nice move and then have some moves around that and and nurture that. Tyler Hero. Hopefully Tyler here bam bio doesn’t have the first half slump that he had. Like it’s not the heat’s cupboard is bare. It’s just a matter of like do they have the guy right cuz the other guys that are out there that are all getting invested in the guys that are getting the super money. First of all I think these super maxes it’s very hard to shave people away. It’s a lot of money to turn down to uh to get away from your organization. But like I’m trying I was like jaw Zion ants got too many years ahead. Joker why get our hopes up. Um Devin Booker Palabonero just signed his extension three years doesn’t work out the magic. Mike Miller’s like, “Hey, make a stink. I’ll get you down to the heat.” Like, is that the next guy? Is it Paulo Bonero? I’m like, I’m genuinely trying to think. Kate Cunningham, if like he just keeps banging his head against the wall in Detroit, like this is the this is the era of guys you got to start talking about. Ant like Ant’s the next guy. Like that’s the next guy you should truly be like, “Hey, he’s tired of freezing his ass off.” But it’s too many years down the line. A-Rod ain’t letting him loose anytime soon. So until then, arriventi whales or whatever they say in Slovenian.
Another failed whale…Luka Dončić extends with LA Lakers…NEVER WANTED HIM
We got Lithuanian Luka anyway in Kasparas Jakučionis

Tobin, with all sincerity, this was NEVER gonna happen😂😂
tobin just wanted to hit the bottle lmao. i love that we got 10 min on this, but its def just bc tobin wanted a swig. im here for it!
I don't think anybody really expected him to be available anyways. Glad there's clarity on the situation now
Duh
The Heat media really just sets up fans for disappointment. Stop baiting people for views, y'all are the ones brewing the Kool aid
"Cade Cunningham, if he just keeps banging his head against a wall in Detroit."
Have you forgotten? Cade's got Duncan as his running mate now. We saw what Cleveland did when they got Max Strus. Detroit is going to be unstoppable now.
I'd say I was disappointed but that would've meant that I was surprised.
Next video – WELL we didn’t get Anthony Edwards. Time to drink! 😂
Can't be up in smokes if it never was an option lol.
😂 Tobin get a grip man all he did was add a yr. He had 1yr on his contract which was this yr 2026 he extended to 2027 with a player option in 2028. Essentially he could leave after next yr lol
The faster the front office realizes the hopium and copium model doesn't work anymore the faster this can get turned around. No one is giving up their franchise cornerstone for a paperclip, some lint and a bag of doritos. YOU have to go draft one. You know, the hard way. This team doesn't have one. So you're always going to be stuck in this purgatory as Play-In contenders. Stop wasting everyone's time and rip the band-aid off already.
Miami was never getting Luka. Why you think that the NBA would do a trade from Dallas to Los Angeles just for him to walk in free agency.
I'm not surprised. Wasn't expecting him to come to Miami anyway
Hey Tobs, love ya but I think it’s time to hang up the harpoon 😂
That should have never been a dream. Crazy stupid to think and dream about Luka in Florida. I think he is very happy playing for the historical franchise like the Lakers
Stop trying to be part of something Tobin. Miami never had a chance.
Im 4 minutes in and im dying laughing. Love you Tobin
Top 10 Tobin rants
Really rather Lebron on a 2yr deal
Honestly I never thought it was gonna happen so I’m not disappointed lol
I know it was an unrealistic fantasy, but I enjoyed the thought. Sigh, guess we are back to our regularly scheduled hope that our scrappy little group of underdogs pull off one heck of a Cinderella story this season.
