OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: FEBRUARY 2025

[bulls_with_booz]

better off if the mavs hired niko bellic jesus christ

 

[Chris Craig]

This man really said they can win in the future. Ummm.................what?

They need to fire that guy

 

[julius]

Former Tigard high school grad Nico Harrison just pulled off one of the ballsiest trades in NBA history. My initial take is that he’s a fucking idiot.

Especially if it's true that Luka did not ask out.

 

[Natebishop3]

They need to fire that guy

Can they fire him and void the trade? Is it too late?

 

[Labinot41]

Jesus Christ

he is going to be in the annals of history as the most dumbass GM ever.

 

[LayneStaley]

Wait we wanted both Laker 1s for Grant at one point lol.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Anthony Davis and Kyrie.... do they even have a 50% chance to make the playoffs now?

Dallas is such a bizarre franchise. They win a title and break up the team a few months later.

15 years later they have a 25 year old MVP who makes the finals and they trade him for a chronically injured 32 year old big man who might be an all-star backup.

 

[bemac]

I like it for Dallas in the immediate.

 

[LayneStaley]

A Luka/Lebron team in like a second round exit without some bigs. If we give them RW3 I’m gonna be pissed.

 

[Natebishop3]

The Mavs GM just made Joe Cronin look like a fucking genius. This was the dumbest trade ever.

 

[LayneStaley]

Maybe this will force other teams in the West to panic trade and we will benefit.

 

[BlazerBeav]

I could see the possibility of this still having Dallas compete for this year's title. But long term, this is an abject disaster for Dallas.

 

[illmatic99]

Rationally, the only reason for Dallas to even entertain this thought is that Dallas did not want to pay Luka 70 mil/yr.

idiotic reason if true for a generational superstar

 

[Chris Craig]

Can they fire him and void the trade? Is it too late?

Should be rescinded immediately by the owners.

GM is an idiot

Davis couldn't win the last few years with LeBron but you think he will with Kyrie?

I'm not sure Dallas even makes the playoffs.

We better not trade them anyone now.

 

[bulls_with_booz]

so are the mavs going to start 3 centers lmao

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Should be rescinded immediately by the owners.

GM is an idiot

Even if his GM is an idiot - how the fuck does ownership approve?

 

[Chris Craig]

Nope

Gonna tank

Watch them get the 1st pick

 

[KingSpeed]

I like it for Dallas in the immediate.

Me too. Kyrie/AD/Klay plus their solid role players makes the favorite in the West, I think. Obviously long term, it’s dumb. I feel sorry for all the little kids in Dallas who just lost their favorite player. Finally,I predict LeBron is going to throw Warriors now.

 

[Chris Craig]

Even if his GM is an idiot - how the fuck does ownership approve?

Exactly.

Mark Cuban is a smart dude. I know he's a minority owner but damn, he's gotta be calling someone up.

 

[illmatic99]

how is that the best offer? ONE pick?

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Rationally, the only reason for Dallas to even entertain this thought is that Dallas did not want to pay Luka 70 mil/yr.

idiotic reason if true for a generational superstar

Only reason is if Luka needs a knee replacement surgery - and even then it's probably a bad deal.

 

[julius]

Exactly.

Mark Cuban is a smart dude. I know he's a minority owner but damn, he's gotta be calling someone up.

I believe he was still the one making the call on stuff like this.

 

[Tince]

The Mavs GM just made Joe Cronin look like a fucking genius. This was the dumbest trade ever.

He is a genius

 

[Chris Craig]

how is that the best offer? ONE pick?

It can't be the best offer.

 

[Chris Craig]

I believe he was still the one making the call on stuff like this.

I can't see him doing this.

 

[illmatic99]

Only reason is if Luka needs a knee replacement surgery - and even then it's probably a bad deal.

dude led his team to the finals 7 months ago at age 25.

 

[Tince]

Remember when the Blazers traded a role player 2 weeks too early?

Imagine trading a MVP candidate 5 years too early!
