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.

This is commonly referred to as bitchassness

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.

I’m trying to think who else was on those spurs teams

Oh is that what you were doing?  Could have fooled me.

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 pretty much sums it up

cuban owes this town a public apology and a public excoriation of the adelsons

Kawhi has actually won shit in his career. 

Luka's 25. He's a 5x all star, 5x first team all NBA, 5 time top 8 MVP vote getter. For comparison, kawhi didn't become an all star for the first time til he was 24. At the age of 33 kawhi STILL isn't 5x first team all nba. 

 

The first time Luka became an all star and was voted first team NBA he was 20.  At 20 kawhi didn't even see the podium in rookie of the year voting. 

 

And that's only considering the talent level of the players.

I like Luka as much as anyone.  Hes great but some of yall are really over hyping him

Spurs fan/Lakers hater here: AD is really good, but hes a number 2. Hes the guy that spreads the court, plays good defense, gets rebounds, etc. Hes a legit all star and hall of famer.

Luka scared the shit out of me. He can beat anyone. Great defense on him. Fuck you, circus shot off one leg. Now that hes a Laker, im apoplectic. Hes a better James Harden.

Yes, no shit Kawhi was a late bloomer and a developmental prospect picked outside of the lottery not a fucking top 3 pick so there's your explanation. Nobody is arguing Luka showed out at a younger age. Luka has a superior offensive game, Kawhi was more of a balanced player. Luka won a scoring title, Kawhi won 2 defensive player of the year awards. Neither has been an NBA MVP, nobody gives a fuck where who finished in the voting if they didn't win it. Luka hasn't won it and there are plenty of flashy up and comers on the landscape so like Kawhi he may very well never win one, either.

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

Yea generational means Luka

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. 😉

Fuck you

@Chad is some generic twitter bot. I regret responding to his full retard posts. 
 

anyone remember when the Boston Red Sox traded Al Schroll to the Chicago Cubs for Bobby Thomson?

If anything you should regret your allegiance to a loser franchise like Dallas owned by a Rosie O'Donnell look alike.

But seriously, what did Luka do? Kill Nico Harrison's dog?

Mavs X account posted a video highlight reel for Josh Green when traded.

For Luka, after nearly 24 hours, they posted this 9th grader's photoshop graphic.

Cold.

77? Being a Spurs fan I just thought the highest number was 50. I had no idea the NBA was giving players NFL type numbers.

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

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. 

Let the pain in..... it'll continue to fucking stir in your gut for years..... reads like it's already gotten to your brain.

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. 

Agreed.  Well said..... makes it worse.  The Spurs were held up by the appetite and let's face it, deviousness of a dumbass uncle and dumbass player; you guys shot yourself in the dick with a fucking bazooka.  This started because a Spurs fans was trying to empathize and infantile Mavs fans wanted to stomp their feet and let every know how stupid they are when it comes to basketball.  You didn't..... you get it.  I like the cut of your jib.

LOL.  I mean.... immensely.  Dude is special on one side of the court, but he's a "generationally" bad defensive player.  He also is very difficult to win with because of his style play as he was a ball stopper.  Other teams have tried with these type of players and failed (Harden, Barkley, Westbrook, Iverson), especially the ones who weren't very good at defense too.

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.

He's special if you needed a bucket.  He's special if you need an offensive juggernaut and he can almost single handily keep you in any game, but yes, he's a very flawed player.  He will be very difficult to construct a championship team around especially perennially.  But ultimately, this wasn't what you wanted if a Mavs fan.  Not like this.  Not when it was your organization's stupidity to do so poorly in a trade.  Not when your team chose to do so terribly.  Not when the mistake was so pronounced and self inflicted.  I empathize and sympathize with them.  Walking the desert is no fun.  I suspect they have until next June and then that sun is gonna get hot and that sand it going to get uncomfortable.  Nothing to do but shake your head and understand it sucks.  And to bail out the Lakers to boot?  What a fucking disaster.

Well you can't expect every team to be so incompetent, but yea, it does burn you up when you have to pay market, or even wholesale prices when there's a special needs guy out there giving shit away.

I'm not trying to piss on your pity party.  Again, I empathize.  But why the fucking Lakers?  Can we all agree, this was the fucking worst?  At least we sent Kawhi literally to a different country.  Trade Luka to the Hornets or Pacers or the fucking Kings.... but not the Lakers.  Fuck that shit.  Hope it gets better, Mav guys.
