The Luka trade? Who did this team have to offer similar to AD? I still don’t get why Dallas was willing to trade Luka at all.
And no one really does. My guess is that there has been some fukkery behind the scenes related to his conditioning and the Mavs are fed up. Or that the new owner sees the salary cap implications of giving Luka the supermax and doesnt want to pay the tax. Who knows?

It would have been nice to get Luka but no one knew Luka was available to be had via trade until last night.

  • Jimmy going to the Warriors with $121M extension
  • We get Wiggins, Anderson and Shroeder and a 1st round pick.
I hope we're ditching Wiggins to someone else too. I dont like his contract. :lupe:

Meh.. i dont think he has much left in the tank, does he? :lupe:
He can at least help with Ware;s development. Ware can use some help when it comes to positioning sometimes. I would have thought Kevin Love could have helped him there but the more the merrier.

Im surprised we didnt use the opportunity to get rid of Duncan Robinson's contract too. :jbhmm:

That shyt is pretty long, but I was able to listen to the whole thing while in traffic.

I remember Wiggins being a bust and then quietly redeeming himself in Golden State. It did not occur to me that he became much better on defense. That will help him when it comes to getting playing time in Miami.

Duncan and Herro aren’t very good defenders so I’m sure he will get some minutes from Spoelstra if his defense is still up to par like they say it became.

I doubt Riley wanted him in particular, but he was needed to make the salaries fit. He should mesh well with the ball movement we have.
