  1. exactly. Luka wanted to be in Dallas. as Mavs fans, that meant so much. we've seen so many big name free agents turn us down. they had zero desire to play for or live in Dallas. but Dirk did, for 21 years, which is why he is so beloved. and we lucked out by getting a generational talent who also wanted to play in Dallas, seemingly for the rest of his career, too. he wasn't already making waves about wanting to go to LA or NY or Miami. that's why this bridge has been burned forever. and to add gasoline to the fire, these fuckwads pushed Luka out for a quarter of his value.
  2. Trump will use it to try to buy an NFL team so he can finally say he is an NFL owner. and if that fails, he can buy a Premier League team.
  3. The Adelsons probably assumed the Texas legislature was as corrupt as the Nevada legislature and they could just buy the needed votes to legalize gambling in Texas. But the Texas GOP has already been bought and paid for by Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks, who do not support the sin of gambling. So the Adelsons either: a) didn’t do their homework, b) miscalculated their ability to buy votes, c) always intended to move the Mavs to Vegas, or d) are just cheap owners.
  4. I think you answered your own question. Why didn’t they shop him for a haul? If the Adelsons didn’t want to pay Luka and wanted to move on, so be it. It’s a mind-numbingly stupid decision, but it’s a choice. The Cowboys traded their far and away best player in Herschel Walker once upon a time. It happens. BUT, they got an absolute haul that essentially netted 3 Super Bowls. Why didn’t Nico put feelers out to the entire NBA and let the bidding start? Why did he go to one team and one team only, which happens to be the singular glamor franchise of the NBA? With all due respect to the Celtics, the Lakers carry the banner for the NBA. And why did Nico settle for 32 year old AD, a guy named Max that I know nothing about, and 1 fucking first round pick. There has to be more to the story. Because this is simply not a fair trade. The team with the monster trade chip got absolutely hosed. It makes no sense. Until we learn the true reason it made sense.
  5. Matan Adelson, one of Miriam’s sons, is expected to run the Mavs one day. He’s a lifelong Lakers fan. The Adelsons had a suite at Staples for Lakers games. This is some tin-foil hat shit, but I need a reason why the Lakers are the only team this deal was shopped to (other than Adam Silver wants the Lakers to be relevant again).
  6. Monty and Donovan are on the air now to talk Luka.
  7. Sounds like they didn’t even shop the deal. They just asked for LA’s “best” offer. This smells fishy as fuck. Gotta have the Lakers back in the spotlight.
  8. From bad to worse. This was Dallas’s idea. Stein says Luka didn’t demand it
  9. Nottingham Forest just destroyed a decent Brighton side 7-0.
