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. 

Artis Gilmore was 53. Drew Gooden rocked #90

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.

I wouldn't.  Every Mav fan I know agrees with the sentiment.

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.

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.

I went to a Spurs playoff game (don’t remember against who) during Tim Duncan’s prime. The team was great. Best coach in the league. 

After the game, riding down the escalators was like being at an A&M football game during the wrecking crew era- less about their own team and more about Dallas this and Mark Cuban that because the Mavs were out of the playoffs but in the news that day. I was shocked by how insecure they were.
 

This is the worst moment in the 45 year history of a fan base that really loves our team, doesn’t care about national media or bandwagons, and doesn’t really care much about yours other than as an regional rival and admiring the success you had during your best years. And you’re in here bitching about what? 

Fuck right off, Chad.

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. 

These are all great points if you completely ignore the reality of what Luka and the Mavericks have done the past few seasons. 

He’s a bad defender, but he’s not generationally bad, that’s dumb. He has actually been a useful piece on a good NBA defense, last fucking season. After making the trades for Gafford and PJ they were one of the best defenses in the league by every metric down the stretch. You just need the right pieces around him, he’s not an unsolvable liability on that end. 

I don’t even want to argue the offensive side of it, mainly because arguing whether Luka’s offensive game is winning basketball or not is weapons grade stupid.

I’m a Spurs fan. And yeah the level of pettiness towards the Mavs is aggy as fuck. It’s on the level of still being mad at Jerry for firing Jimmy. In 2006 the Mavs killed our chances for a title in a very close Game 7. The Spurs would likely have had a three peat since they won in 05 and 07. It’s lame as shit but the anger is still very fresh and real, and I’m not defending it, I’m just giving frame of reference for why some of us Spurs fans act like complete bitches when it comes to the Mavs. I dislike the Mavs too but this trade is just wrong and fucked up on so many levels. Everyone is rightfully blaming Nico but I think Jason Kidd is the root of the cancer on the team and he definitely had a hand in this too. I really hope yall get something else out of this trade eventually down the line because it’s pretty fucking sad what just happened to you guys.

I get tanking the franchise to move to Vegas but the TX leg thing makes zero sense. Why would the legislature at large, from all over the state, change their minds on a deep seated objection to gambling to save a basketball team? The Addelsons have shown their willingness to spend their mountain of cash directly to influence politics which is way more effective than whether the Dallas Mavericks move cities. That would seemingly be less than a blip on the radar of state level politics and would require support from legislators well beyond the DFW metroplex. I’m not buying that one.

Spurs fan since birth -- okay, like 7 years old -- and so I could give a fuck about the Mavs ultimately.

But factually this trade sucks because I'd MUCH rather have the Mavs be relevant and with a top young superstar than the fucking Lakers of all teams. THE FUCKING LAKERS. You kidding me?

Anyone who rails on the Mavs while the Lakers are the presumed benefactor is morally suspect and probably prefers California burritos to Tex-Mex.

The Lakers had Phil "asterisk" Jackson and Shaq back in the day throwing shade at the Spurs. Total douchebags without even getting into Derek "cry more bitch" Fisher.

Cuban I think talked some Spurs trash at one point, but whatever.

Doncic was/is awesome to watch and Dirk as well.

I've lived in both LA and Dallas. Los Angeles sucks giant ass. I wouldn't live again in Dallas either, but levels of hell and all that.

Yep. Always hated the Lakers/Kobe. Hated. Had respect for Dirk even though it was annoying to lose to them.

 

I will say, the NBA is kinda winning with this trade. It's super bowl week and all the shows are talking about this.

Spurs have no room to talk. They just had a young All star PG in his prime force his way onto their team and they had to give nothing in return. Sets up nicely for Wemby and some Euro eyeballs.

I think that is the point he is making.  He's saying that they applied all of this pressure on the legislature and they didn't move. So the Adelson's only play left was to tank the franchise so that they can demonstrate it needs to move to Vegas. In 2 years, if the legislature does reverse course, then my guess is that by then the Adelson's will move anyway to Vegas. But, they will have a choice at that point.  That is what this guy is saying.

It was just shown on Get Up that he gets blown by more than any defender in the league.   Literally the worst

let me guess.  they used last year's playoffs videos? he was playing on one knee.  daily injections in the knee, bleeding out during the games.  the game plan was for him to divert everyone to the middle where we had gafford, lively, or PJ.  it worked til the finals where boston could play 5 out.

How are they comparable?

Fox wanted to go, and made it known. Kings got something for him before they lose him for sure anyway. The Bulls I'm not sure. Maybe it helps their Sag for Flagg efforts.

The Spurs moves aren't remotely the same as what the Lakers pulled off, with massive help from Nico "I swear I'm not still wearing a Kobe Bryant jersey under this suit" Harrison.

He plays over 35 minutes a game, and he gets hunted relentlessly, both because he’s not a good defender and because it’s good strategy to make him work on defense to make him less effective on offense. It makes sense that his blown by stats are the highest in the league. That does not mean he’s the worst defender in the league. 

There are players that are amazing offensive players that can hardly get minutes for their teams because they are such liabilities on defense. Luka isnt that. He’ll never be a great defender, but he’s been part of good nba defenses. With what he can do on the other end of the floor, that is enough.

Over the last two seasons, Doncic has allowed a 44.7% blow-by rate as the primary defender on drives, the highest in the league during that span, per Second Spectrum.

The whole reason they went to that philosophy was because Luka was so bad and the worst part was he didnt even try.
