OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: FEBRUARY 2025

[SharpesTriumph]

Me too. Kyrie/AD/Klay plus their solid role players makes the favorite in the West, I think.

Klay? Do you think it's 2017?

Dallas basically became a worse version of the Suns. They'll be lucky to avoid a sweep in the playoffs - if they even make them.

 

[Quatro44]

Can LeBron play off ball?

 

[BlazerBeav]

Lakers have no center now at all.

 

[MickZagger]

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

I believe defense wins championships too. But dude fell in love with the limited semi success they’ve had without Luka. Thinking it can hold up

 

[wizenheimer]

Lakers have no center now at all.

they've got Kleber now but he has a broken foot and will probably miss the rest of the season

 

[Tince]

 

[wizenheimer]

Lakers will probably be shopping hard for a C but everybody they talk to will want that 2031 first. The trade might happen to the team that will accept the heaviest protection

They don't even need to protect it with Luka now.

 

[wizenheimer]

They don't even need to protect it with Luka now.

he'll be 32 then and weigh 317 pounds

 

[Dom McBlazer]

What gets me is that if the Mavs had questions about his conditioning, shouldn't they have considered disciplining him? Or if you're gonna pay him, put clauses in there to ensure that he is conditioning or something?

I'm convinced that there's more to the story whether we'll ever know the details or not because this trade just defies logic and sound reasoning.

 

[MickZagger]

They made this move for the sole purpose of deflecting our amazing win against the Suns.

Fuckers!

 

[inconceivable]

I'm sure another team is waiting to gift them a center.

Jokic or Wemby

 

[Chris Craig]

Why not start a bidding war though? Announce you are trading him and let teams fight over him. Why take the shittiest possible deal?

Reminds me of the movie Inception

They pulled a Norm Powell to Clippers!

 

[Chris Craig]

bribery

The only reason

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I hope Joe is on the line with Nico right now asking what they want to give for Grant.

 

[Chris Craig]

They pulled a Norm Powell to Clippers!

This is far worse than that

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Jokic or Wemby

Wemby will surely be a Laker before its all said and done.

 

[Chris Craig]

Reminds me of the movie Inception

This is more of a mind fuck than Inception

It’s why I’ve said it’s collusion. This trade really doesn’t make sense at all. I understand the talent that Davis is. But c’mon. Everyone realizes that he’s just a periphery piece at this point in his career. After everyone has realized no one would ever want to build around him

 

[Chris Craig]

Jokic or Wemby

Why not both

 

[bulls_with_booz]

if we're just giving away tubby players can the bulls get zion please

 

[Natebishop3]

This is far worse than that

Oh for sure, the trades aren't comparable with talent, but I'm just saying that it's the same in that they traded him way before the deadline and didn't even shop it around.

 

[Chris Craig]

Right. If it's Pelicans Davis, maybe it makes more sense. Old Mr Glass Lakers Davis makes no sense at all.

 

[inconceivable]

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

It's not like Luka is old

 

[inconceivable]

Lakers have no center now at all.

What can they give us back for Timelord?

We'll know if the Mavs land a top lotto pick
