That’s the sports bettor Luka hates? That would be on-brand for their TDOS so far.

Feels like the Mavs are still in the trade Jason Thompson and Carl Landry’s bad contracts and several unprotected picks/pick swaps for the cap space to sign Marco Bellinelli portion of their Kangzification and not the “trade your star (preferably while he’s playing in the all-star game) for a pick, an underachieving high draft pick, and the dessicated corpse of Tyreke Evans” part of their process.
they were always a low rent version of us until Webber went down.
Hopefully they become the uber-Kangz.
that's why they are hiring Kidd right? lol

If there were two superstars less likely to work well together it would be Luka and Dame. As great as they are, it’s really hard to see either guy willing to let the other take the reigns in crunch time.
I don't think you're wrong. I think Dame is a little less set in this mentality and it may haunt Luka more over his career because he won't be national team teammates with the bulk of NBA all stars on Team USA (though I saw Lillard wasn't picked and is upset about it, per my google feed this afternoon).

That seems less LOLDisaster than I was hoping for. Haha
yeah but are they going to have a ton of relationship experts and then a GM on paper and then Lord Cuban calling the shots anyways?

You gotta remember that we once interviewed hot assistant coach Tom thibodeau for our coaching job before hiring Eric Musselman because his PowerPoint slideshow was good.
Arguably the second best coach we had since Adelman left.

Unfortunately, as far as winning percentage is concerned, the beat coach we’ve had since Adelman is Luke Walton.
He has the opposite problem Muss had - which is Muss inherited a team that was out of gas but the ownership thought was still a contender while Luke took a young team that should have finished .500 the year prior and has been dog poop.
It's clear that Malone was far and away the best coach we had in the post Adelman era, outside of that it is really tough to evaluate some guys like Muss and Theus who have had some NCAA success and probably were just the wrong hires for a team that needed a hard reset. Then you have Joerger who seemed like a good coach with some personality quirks that have lead him to burn bridges and Walton who may be a good manager of a high end team but is lost with a fringe team.
Man, anyone trying to come at KD for being a poor teammate after his Big Three wingmen both got injured and he balled out so hard that he still willed the Nets to the brink of a game 7 victory is really just exposing themselves. Pippen played in a lot of playoff series and he never had a single series as impressive as Durant just did despite the losing effort. That's a Shaq level poor take right there. If I'm the Nets I'd be wondering if selling off everything to put a big three together was a smart move considering all those guys they traded to add Harden would surely have given them more than 10ppg on 30% shooting against Milwaukee. Maybe they manage to keep everyone healthy next year but it kinda looks like they had a winning hand and lost because they wanted an even better one.
According to Scottie ... it was race???
If it's good enough for the Kings ...
Basically the Kings. All we needed was Bibby to be head athletic trainer.
Side note, I'm pretty sure trading Bagley (who plays liek 10 games for us a season) for Doncic nets us more than 6 wins lol

Oubre’s a free agent so that trade is impossible. Also pretty sure Golden State couldn’t take on that much money in a pure swap.

S&T maybe?
But you may be right, it looks like this guy needs to stay in his best work which is breaking news about football (soccer), not basketball.

If the Mavs S&Ted for Oubre on a contract big enough to swap for Porzingis alone, they’d deserve all the ridicule they’d get.S&T maybe?

Actually, they'd be WAAAAAAAY over the apron after such a sign-and-trade, so the S&T wouldn't even be allowed. This dude either straight made that rumor up, or was given some really really bad info.
