Seems like a bad idea.* - Chuck Woodaby February 5, 2025, 19:33:01 I know AD is older and has the rep of being broken down - CanHartlebHireSnider February 3, 2025, 11:04:54 Kyrie hasn't said a thing since the trade. I'd be worried about his state of mind - OrangeSox February 3, 2025, 11:28:26 AD is great but the notion that Luka wasn’t the guy to lead them to a championship is absurd - CWR10 February 3, 2025, 11:14:51 My only commentary here is on AD - CanHartlebHireSnider February 3, 2025, 11:18:31 Yeah, he's still great (and now gets to play the 4), but they've basically built an All Star - Warrin'_Illini February 3, 2025, 11:27:27 Agreed. AD + a bunch of first rounders would have been more palatable - CWR10 February 3, 2025, 11:22:30 When he plays, he's still great... but that's the problem. - uofi1998 February 3, 2025, 11:08:54 This theory is as good as any I’ve seen - John Coctostan February 3, 2025, 9:03:42 About 1000 people in Dallas simultaneously came up with this line of reasoning - bbonb February 3, 2025, 16:47:40 That is straight out of the Stan Kroenke playbook, and the best theory I have seen* - BradUnderwoodforprez February 3, 2025, 10:56:26 Idiocracy has spread from politics to sports apparently* - HamptonSki February 3, 2025, 10:54:47 Isn't the "Luka's fat, bad at D when he plays it, and not interested in changing" theory fine?* - Chicago1995 February 3, 2025, 10:49:51 that *might* explain why they wouldn't want to pay him the supermax - Sammich February 3, 2025, 10:58:39 I pretty much said the same thing - Chicago1995 February 3, 2025, 11:02:31 The return is everything. You can trade a guy like Luka if you're not comfortable... - uofi1998 February 3, 2025, 11:05:52 I thought he had admitted that he didn't talk to any other team* - gvibes February 3, 2025, 11:32:30 You may be right on that...* - uofi1998 February 3, 2025, 12:49:06 It's certainly the predictable story that immediately followed.* - uofi1998 February 3, 2025, 10:54:28 It's predicable because there's at least some truth to it, right? - Chicago1995 February 3, 2025, 11:01:15 It's the one defensible thing you can say to justify the deal. - uofi1998 February 3, 2025, 11:04:04 what's the tl:dr version?* - VIV February 3, 2025, 9:56:15 new owner adelson is big in vegas casinos. been spending lots of money to try to lobby tx leg to - John Coctostan February 3, 2025, 10:32:49 Let us have our GamblingPlex in Dallas or we move the team to Vegas.* - Warrin'_Illini February 3, 2025, 9:59:47 It's Major League in real life. Sort of.* - Sammich February 3, 2025, 9:57:47 This!!* - UofIL6 February 3, 2025, 10:03:39 jr high lcubed was way too excited about the poster cutout of the owner* - lcubed February 3, 2025, 10:20:03 the fact that they only dealt with the Lakers should void the trade entirely, IMO - Sammich February 3, 2025, 9:48:29 It's straight up collusion. There's no other reasonable explanation. - uofi1998 February 3, 2025, 10:53:57 The same thing happened with Pau - CanHartlebHireSnider February 3, 2025, 10:02:22 Unless it's Chris Paul.* - Warrin'_Illini February 3, 2025, 10:19:14 The new Dallas owner is a friend of Trump. I think she'll be in the clear but it doesn't explain - Warrin'_Illini February 3, 2025, 9:52:35 And nothing will happen because the Lakers success is good for the NBA as a whole. - uofi1998 February 3, 2025, 10:21:44 i know their fanbase has grown, but do they really care that much wrt the cowboys?* - torinese February 3, 2025, 10:25:02 IDK, but having a star stolen from your city is going to create angst even if it is the 2nd pro team - uofi1998 February 3, 2025, 10:49:28 Yep, they're probably still kicking themselves. Charmed life they're leading.* - Warrin'_Illini February 3, 2025, 10:24:51 The GM didn’t shop Luka to any other team * - gvibes February 2, 2025, 20:02:10 Looks like Zach Lavine is getting traded to Sac. No details yet.* - Toonces February 2, 2025, 19:36:44 Absolute malpractice. Edging into forced sale territory. - Sammich February 2, 2025, 17:48:14 Mavs just gave up 50 points in the first quarter* - OB25 February 2, 2025, 15:36:50 91-46 at half* - illini21 February 2, 2025, 15:39:35 When was the last time two top ten players in their sport were traded for each other? - MC February 2, 2025, 10:04:50 Don't recall their rankings at the time, but maybe Paul-Westbrook?* - MojoJojo February 3, 2025, 9:55:20 The Bulls and Sonics *almost* did a Scottie Pippen / Shawn Kemp trade in 1994 - Orangeillini February 2, 2025, 11:01:38 Poor Bronny* - timmer February 2, 2025, 8:06:30 When will he ever catch a break?* - SurfTheBoneyard February 2, 2025, 8:44:57 Was Luka demanding a trade and trying to force his way out? Otherwise this makes no sense. - DT February 2, 2025, 8:01:37 This is bonkers * - illini February 2, 2025, 7:54:35 Very strange that he was offered only to the Lakers.* - gullit February 2, 2025, 7:42:13 I could sorta understand not wanting him I guess. But the haul received back is absurd - John Coctostan February 2, 2025, 7:22:58 wowwwww - what is Dallas doing? * - MC February 2, 2025, 3:36:56 I just got home from a long hard day of multiple activities - Sounder February 2, 2025, 2:52:10 Dots - TarheelIllini February 2, 2025, 7:16:44 Pretty solid tweet - illini21 February 2, 2025, 1:18:37 Miriam Adelson continues to stick it to Mark Cuban.* - Chuck Woodaby February 2, 2025, 0:54:45 Giving hundreds of millions to don jr instead of Luka is certainly a choice* - John Coctostan February 2, 2025, 11:48:34 I can't get over that this trade cost Luke over $100 million dollars* - CanHartlebHireSnider February 2, 2025, 0:43:03 Mavs should have gotten way more for Luka.* - Toonces February 1, 2025, 23:56:09 Had to look at this three times to make sure it was real - illini21 February 1, 2025, 23:47:01 ooo - Mrap24 February 1, 2025, 23:37:31 Can’t remember a breaking news headline taking my breath away quite like this one. - OB25 February 1, 2025, 23:33:07 I don’t follow the NBA that closely but the idea of trading Luka for AD and whatever seems absurd* - CanHartlebHireSnider February 1, 2025, 23:32:02 Although it does seem like Luka is kind of having a down year? - CanHartlebHireSnider February 1, 2025, 23:35:13 lol I haven’t been following the NBA this year but Luka averaging 28 8 & 8 - illini21 February 1, 2025, 23:52:25 Luka is injured a lot and not in shape. Also will want a super max in 2 years. - Mrap24 February 1, 2025, 23:36:05 Makes sense to cash in on a guy who’s often injured in order to get…*checks notes*…Anthony Davis?* - DT February 2, 2025, 8:08:38 I see he was eligible for a super max this summer. Looks like this cost him a ton of money* - CanHartlebHireSnider February 1, 2025, 23:37:38 I don’t understand* - gvibes February 1, 2025, 23:31:10 ESPN just posted it on X. Unless they got hacked* - DanSaint February 1, 2025, 23:29:13 I mean that can’t be real can it* - BradUnderwoodforprez February 1, 2025, 23:27:39 All over the ESPNs…it’s real* - Illini Guy February 1, 2025, 23:28:42   Searching
