  1. Nah, the lie is them not talking to him about the deal. If they have been discussing the deal for 3 weeks there is no way in hell they hadnt talked to him and knew that is where he wanted to go.
  2. Yep, it may be a bad decision but its the only realistic conclusion. All the conspiracy stuff is over the top. The only real question is why didnt they shop him?
  3. A brand new franchise would be worth more A LOT more. They arent trying to move the Mavs to LV
  4. There is always plenty of lying going on in these kinda things. Saying Luka, AD and LBJ didnt know about the deal is a whopper.
  5. Harrison said this trade was built over the last 3 weeks of conversation. Crazy that he wouldnt try to shop to another team. Even if you wanted AD just to try and up the offer and get more in the way of picks.
  6. The Mavs clearly didn't want to give him a supermax and had issues with his work ethic outside of the court. Its all good at 25-26 but not taking care of your body catches up VERY fucking fast. He's an incredible player without doubt on a top 15 all time trajectory though. It will be interesting to see where the Lakers go from here with regards to the rest of the season. They have to get another big. Will LBJ ask out? Will they try to convince him to go somewhere else for a better shot at winning now?
  7. I see. Even more reason why other teams would have given more. I still dont think the Lakers do the deal not knowing he will re-up. AD has been incredibly good and healthy these last couple yrs. Finally gets to play with a center. He and KAI should be really good on offense and he and Gafford should be really good on defense. Its not a terrible get for them. It just seems like they should have got more other stuff. Only one pick 4 yrs from now is wild but getting a top 10 player in return who is at the peak of his prime is a very good return
  8. No chance the Lakers do this deal without knowing Luka will re-sign. First day he can, he will sign a super max with them
  9. The Sun have given up/lost 6 of their top 9 scorers last yr and will probably lose Dewanna Bonner too who is a FA.
  10. Nalyssa Smith was traded there yesterday. Good for them
  11. The two dunks from the screenshot are crazy. They werent even looking at the rim. Best part about that contest was no Kenny Smith there saying how he had seen every dunk before.
  12. Lose Griner and, more than likely, Tarausi get Alyssa Thomas (probably Bonner too) and Satou. That's a nice upgrade.
  13. yep, he was tearing through his own team to try and get at LBJ The epitome of bitchassness.
  14. 1000% this. Giving up games is NEVER going to be an option. It shouldnt be anyway but its never going to happen.
  15. The band is staying together
  16. The rest of the trade
  17. Will be interesting to see if Dawanna Bonner goes back to PHX with her.
  18. Pretty big trade, Had a feeling that LV was gonna break up their core 4 but still kind of jarring to see. I'm not sure Loyd is an upgrade but she isnt a downgrade for sure
  19. Meh, if all stars arent the best dunkers then it wont make a difference
  20. I guess someone will take the leap to get him and maybe his agent has back-channeled it with a team already but I dont know why any team would. Every place he has been has ended exactly the same way. It would just be a matter of time before it would end that way with your team. He isnt even that good anymore and more importantly, available enough to justify the bullshit that comes with him.
  21. If they are going to keep letting him compete when he isnt really in the league they may as well start signing some of the professional dunkers to 10 day/g-league contracts and make it a real competition
