I understand the sentiment, but this tweet is stupid dumb. Everyone in Dallas would be saying, "Luka who?" if they're up 3-1 in this year's Finals.

...it's just not going to happen.

Everyone knows AD doesn’t improve this team’s chances of winning anything.  This is all a bunch of bullshit and a huge fuck you to the fan base. This cunt and her spawn don’t give a shit about the city of Dallas or the team or its fan base. 
 

fuck Cuban for selling to her.

This is dumb. I want the Mavs to win and I don’t give a shit with who. I’m only upset because I seen path to winning now. I’ll suck Nico’s dick if he proves me wrong.

What a dumb fucking post. If AD is healthy and we dominate and win a ring, I don’t care about Luka. Nico’s job is not to cater to the whims of dumbass fans like this. Of course none of that shit will happen because this trade was the worst. So thanks, Mike Ziemer, for making me stick up for the executor of the worst trade ever.

I could see this(trading Luka, not getting fleeced) if you have a magician head coach who can implement some kind of lock down defensive plan but we have...Jason Kidd.

also, the funniest part about all of this is we probably have to wait 2 weeks to even see these guys play because they are both hurt, as usual.

As much as I hate the Mavs and their arrogant, dumb shit owner I don't want to see the Lakers get better ever. Mavs y'all are gonna have to settle for a one and done if y'all can even manage to get through the play in. Anthony Davis will be on the bench watching the Mavs lose. Remember how us Spurs fans felt watching an extremely talented piece in his prime be traded away for next to nothing? Now y'all know.

We won't know until we get there but I suspect for me it would be hollow. I can't think I'm unique in that way. It would be a good problem to have.

What do you see the odds of this happening? Vegas says +3000

 

is that good? That doesn’t seem good

 

this.

I'm laughing so hard at Nico.  so setting us up for the short term AND the long term?

so lemme get this straight.  short term we were just one AD from 8th place to winning it all and long term we are planning for a great future by adding Max Christie and a 1st rounder 4 years from now, from the team that will have Luka in his prime. 

I guess Kidd will be the fall guy this year...

That was orders of magnitude different if only by how much better Luka is.

Kawhi : 2x Finals MVP

3x First team all NBA, 3x Second team all NBA

2x defensive player of the year, 3x defensive 1st team, 4x defensive 2nd team.

Luka : 0 Finals MVP

5x First team all NBA

1x NBA scoring champ

It all depends on how you value a player. Luka is an offensive juggernaut with zero defensive skills. I'd personally say Luka is a better player who showed flashes at a younger age, but Kawhi was also elite in a sense for a lengthy stretch.

Zero point zero. But the hypothetical says we do.  In which case I don’t care if it’s without Luka. 

It’s none this year and slim next year. I suspect we will care greatly. There’s a lot of guys on this team I love.

Gotta love the Spurs fan coming in talking about Kawhi as if we give a fuck. Leonard isn’t in in Luka’s stratosphere and never was. He also wanted out of SA. Quit trying to contrive up comparisons to talk about the Spurs. Apples and oranges.

The situation in which they were traded isn’t comparable at all. Kawhi bailed on his team at the end of the 2018 season and then asked for a trade in the summer. Spurs were trading him with very little leverage. Luka was happy with the Mavs (and going to sign an 5 year extension this summer) and they traded him in the middle of the night to the 1 team in the league they had discussions with for 10 cents on the dollar.

It’s not comparable because Kawhi wanted out of SA. SA was forced to trade him. We did this to ourselves.

I'm well aware that Kawhi forced his way out while Luka was traded in one of the dumbest decisions ever.....the circumstances were drastically different. However both players were franchise cornerstones.  Kawhi was gonna be the next guy for the Spurs he won a finals mvp and appeared destined for big things. To have that traded away for peanuts sucked, especially watching him win a championship in his lone year in Toronto as a rental. Luka was the cornerstone for Dallas, the guy they were building around. Anthony Davis isn't gonna do much or a late first rounder.

Not a Mavs fan, but the word "generational" is being vastly overused in sports media.  Generational is once every 20 years. 

Not in North Texas...

I mean, yeah, kinda. I've been on his bandwagon from the beginning, but...conditioning, defensive liability, leadership/on-court mannerisms, and now injury prone. With SGA and Wemby's ascendance, there's an argument that Luka is closer to the 10th best player than the 1st.

Playing devil's advocate a little. Obviously this trade sucks.

you could argue a lot of franchises in the league have their best, 2nd/3rd best players on their current roster despite being in existence for 30-60 years, no?

Well, they were only 15 years apart, but…

No, Luka’s defense isn’t as good as young LeBron’s, but he wasn’t putting up these stats as empty calories on bad teams. Already two western conference finals appearances and one finals appearance. 

You guys are too caught up in the “he doesn’t play defense” talking point if you are underplaying Luka’s value right now as a 25 year old superstar.

Shut the fuck up. At least we have a future super star to build around and something to look forward to. Who is Dallas going to build around? Kyrie? Anthony Davis? Won't be long until y'all are back in the gutter before Luka came along. Good luck. 😉

thanks for chiming in. Let’s all just start talking about random trades. 
 

Anyone else remember in 1999 when the Blackhawks traded Chris Chelios to the Red Wings? Wow that was crazy.

Just repaying the favor for all the shit Mavs fans talked after the Spurs were forced to unload Kawhi. Now y'all are gonna be wandering the NBA wastelands for the foreseeable future. The Mavs will be good enough for a couple one and dones before returning to where they were the first year of Luka and several years before his arrival.
