Losers of 12 of the last 14 with 13 left.  It’s very realistic they don’t win another game the rest of the year.

gonna be hilarious when the spurs get the #1 pick in the lottery again.

AD, with his injury, is apparently healthy enough to be on the golf course and smoking cigars. So glad Luka was traded for smoking hookah. Cigars are way better for you. 

 Hookah = taking a vacation, fat, unacceptable 

Golf+Cigar while injured during season = Mamba mentality

Did Michael Finley jump out of a bunker to knock the cigar out of his mouth?

Golf is the worst activity for someone with his injury. Which begs a few questions:

1. Just how injured is AD really?

2. If he's really as injured as they claim, who the hell is overseeing his rehab? 

I had a feeling when this trade went down, AD would be mentally checked out and we'd hardly see him on the court here. He lasted less than 3 quarters and hasn't been seen since. He didn't want to come here, he loved his situation in LA with Lebron.

Great job, Nico. Fuck you.

Too soon to watch things like this. I’ll wait for the 30 for 30 in like 10 years.

The video, which was discussing the book, seems to implicate Kidd a lot more than previously known. The further we get away from the trade, the more this stinks of Nico and Kidd being ego driven and Dumont just being a basketball dumbass who put his trust in the wrong people.

Send like he's sniffing (or whatever word it was) that 30 ppg mark:

Luka Doncic in his last 8 games: 

32.0 PPG
8.4 APG
8.1 RPG
2.1 SPG
60.5% TS

41% 3PT on 11.3 attempts 

it will never happen

In public Kidd has said Luka could be the goat.

Kidd looked completely nonplussed in that PC. I don’t think you can fake that 

Kidd could have been complaining a lot behind the scenes but still be surprised the move happened without him knowing.

Finley probably jumped in the bunker hoping to dodge all the missile strikes directed at the front office.

My wife complains about wanting new furniture and kitchen and bathroom updates, but I’m pretty sure she doesn’t want me to burn the house down

Mike Finley is a professional’s professional in everything he does and Jason Kidd is … Jason Kidd. 
I have no doubt that both of those guys spent years frustrated with the fact that Luka didn’t focus maniacally on rehab/conditioning in the offseason and maintained some vices during the season in addition to being creatively irrepressible on the court. They probably talked about it with Nico and had some communication issues with Luka. 
That said, both of those guys know what a GOAT-tier player is, the importance of working around them, and what they are worth.
I am 100% convinced they didn’t know this was happening until it was in motion and were very uncomfortable with it, whether or not they tried to stop it, particularly Finley.
