  1. Dirk going to LA for Luka’s debut. Probably the biggest FU yet to this front office.
  2. This is going to be Lamar Odom 2.0. AD has zero interest in being here and I don't blame him. Luka has no real interest in being in LA. AD’s game today does not suggest he has zero interest in being here.
  3. This dude is in way over his head. You cannot do this deal and not face the music.
  4. I was not even this depressed after '06. At least we had finally toppled the Spurs and made it farther than we ever had before. It was a tough pill to swallow losing the finals, but as time went on, you could look back and remember how great the journey was. There is just nothing redeemable about this. And it gets worse every day.
  5. If that were the case, Nico should have resigned instead of attaching his name to the worst trade in league history
  6. The Hoop Collective was actually talking about this and he was actually about to overpay massively for Kuzma last year but Kuzma killed the deal and they went with PJ instead. They basically said even then he has not shown a lot of understanding of value when it comes to trades. He kind of lucked into that one. The more I listen to pods, the more I think this is just Nico thinking he's the smartest guy in the room. Maybe he may ultimately be correct about getting out of the Luka business, but he failed massively at asset management. All the good work of the past 2 seasons completely undone. We will never live this down.
  7. And here's the rub for me: if Nico genuinely thinks he can't build a roster around Luka and win a championship, then I'm not interested in that person being the GM of my team. If he actually felt that way, he should have resigned and we would have had dozens of qualified candidates banging down there door to get a shot with this roster and assets. When this boils down, it's a decision to keep Nico vs Luka and I think anyone is picking Luka 100 times out of 100. Nico just nuked our organization for the next 7 or 8 years and won't have to be around to see the consequences of it. What a shitty fucking time.
  8. We don’t have nearly enough ball handlers or shot creators. AD wants to play the 4 which means PJ is playing a lot more 3. I honestly don’t know how that works offensively and I don’t think we have a good coach to make it work. I don’t think we’re going to be able to play good enough defense to overcome that.
  9. I don’t think we’re going to have to worry about this. This roster makes zero sense. They’re aren’t making a run to the finals.
  10. If the league is that desperate then the league won’t be around in 10-20 years anyway. You cannot sacrifice top 5 markets to make one team good, even if it’s the Lakers.
  11. Why wouldnt the NBA just make an expansion team in Vegas instead of going through all this hassle to abandon a top 5 market?
  12. Just a stunning level of incompetence. After all the trades he’s done so well the last couple years, this just makes zero sense.
  13. It's a grinder compared to other leagues, especially if you're toward the bottom of the table like West Ham where he's not likely to get great service. All for not either way with his knee injury.
  14. Damn. That really sucks. Never even saw a report prior to this that he was even hurt in the match.
  15. I know the money will probably be too good to pass up, but I would really hate for him to go to the EPL. If he can be the #1 striker next year at PSV, there are not many better places to be for a young striker.
  16. Goals for Pepi, Pulisic, and an assist for Reyna yesterday. Musah, however, earned a red card in the first half.
  17. Any update on this after the meeting?
  18. I think Agyemang has a little something. Pretty cool story to come from D3 soccer.
  19. In theory, they could still get the gang back together for a playoff run, but yes, kiss a top 4 seed goodbye.
  20. Wow, I didn’t even watch because I chalked this up as a loss. Great win!
