Nico Harrison has some of the deepest connections in the league and got the Mavs to the Finals when no one expected them to be there. He’s also pulled off some great deals. I would’ve pushed for more than what he got, but I believe there’s a method to the madness.

We have seen the peak of Luka already. He’s been a professional for 10 years, and doesn’t have anywhere else to go game wise. That’s through no fault of his own, he just came in super polished already.

He’s not going to take care of himself, he’s going to cry about the refs, and he’s not going to play any defense. He’s still top 10, but he has shown his ceiling.
You also believed that Luka was going to be a bust. You've proven time and time again you have absolutely no cotdamn idea of what you're talking about.

You're saying a whole bunch of nothing here.

bu-bu-but we've seen peak Luka already.

Yeah, and he dragged them to the Finals, and was the only player who showed up whilst everyone else struggled to score. Outright stupidity to act like that isn't something worth holding onto. But then you're the same cat who said the Nuggets should've traded Jokic years ago and built around MPJ.

Dragged them to the WCF with a much worse team that had Dwight Powell and Kleber playing near 25 minutes a game

Got to the Finals with a team that on paper wasn't a Finals team

I don’t like the trade for Dallas on its face but I’m not in the building and there is obviously something else to it .

You can’t just downplay the conditioning and injury thing like some posters are doing though..it’s not just being fat . It’s the fact that now his calf is showing weakness which leads to other more serious problems . They know Luka better than anyone else on the planet so if they’re hesitant there is a reason to be in their mind .

Just calling the ownership cheap is just lazy talk ..

Luka isn’t a free agent .. they could’ve did this in the summer but they didn’t wait.. it’s a combination of not wanting to commit to him financially and believing he could not come back this year and replicate last year with a stronger supporting cast.


I do like the fact that they didn’t just throw the money at him and hope like most franchises do with their players .. .. New Orleans looks even more pathetic now.. imagine being held hostage by Jimmy Butler or Fox . Dallas was cold with it .. whether they’re right or not is to be seen

For the lakers I obviously get it .this isn’t just about this year. It’s a short term on court L in hopes it solidifies their future


I don't think it's lazy talk.

Cuban wouldn't have trade Luka. He would have gave Luka the supermax

AD is not going to bring the Mavericks any closer to a championship let alone the Conference Finals, and it's delusional to believe so, which is why Dallas fans are understandably angry because they know what I and many alike alluding to Luka: even with his defensive, conditioning, issues, you don't give up on a generational Superstar talent who is only getting better.

That would be like the Bucks trading Giannis all because of his poor free throw and 3-point shooting woes. Even Philly wouldn't trade Embiid with his health issues for this low of a price in return, nah the Dallas organization is a laughing stock right now.

This was an awful and delusional trade by the Mavs.

It's not lazy talk when it essentially boils down to that.

Luka has had perceived conditioning issues for years now, that hasn't stopped him becoming one of the best players of the modern era. The new ownership don't know Luka better than anyone else, and that's largely why they ended up trading him, because I imagine that they don't completely know the full extent of the value he has to the franchise (or they do and simply don't care because they wanna save money).

Luka's issues are down to his body being overworked because the muh'fukka doesn't have an offseason. He plays hoops all year round. His injuries are not some degenerative shyt like Kawhi's.

He's only 25.

If they truly believed he can't replicate what he's been doing going forward, they deserve all the shyt that's about to come their way.


Facts i don't see Mark Cuban trading Luka especially to the Lakers.

Luka was supposed to be Dirk 2.0
