Do ACLs only exist so they can tear? You never hear about an ACL doing anything good. B*itchass ligament.

Yeah, except an All NBA nod won't open up the supermax now that he's been tradedAnd people keep asking why Fox won't get that surgery... he's, like, two injuries away from making All-NBA by default.
They just sent out season tickets renewals for next year with an average 8.5% price increase too. Who knows what the goal really is, but I feel bad for that fan baseMy conspiracy theory is the Mavs owners are trying to tank the franchise and p@&$ off the fan base so much (not including the Kyrie injury) no one shows up to games and the owners “have to” move to Las Vegas. Then they suddenly announce they are raising ticket prices for next season for this crap team. Incredible incompetence or brilliant move by the owners to get to their end game?
The NBA probably told them if you’re going to move the team to Las Vegas, you better unload the mega star to the Lakers now or we won’t let you move.
Would make more sense to do an ownership swap than a move. No way the NBA is going to lose Dallas as a market.My conspiracy theory is the Mavs owners are trying to tank the franchise and p@&$ off the fan base so much (not including the Kyrie injury) no one shows up to games and the owners “have to” move to Las Vegas.

Before things went to hell I was saying that half the league would disqualify itself from consideration and he'll get on the third team by default, but after being presented with a long list of names I threw my hands up and conceded that since All NBA since teams are positionless he'd still be a longshot, he knew it then too.Yeah, except an All NBA nod won't open up the supermax now that he's been traded
Never thought I'd ever feel bad for Mavs fans given all the bad luck we've had against them over the years and Luka but there you have it.Really sucks for Mavs fans. What a tough year for them.
Part of me feels bad for the Mavs because I, for one, never thought we'd see the level of incompetence displayed by Vlade ever again. At least not in my lifetime (or whatever is left of it).Never thought I'd ever feel bad for Mavs fans given all the bad luck we've had against them over the years and Luka but there you have it.
The crazier part is not shopping him to the league. No wonder people have theories on what the endgame is because who in their right mind trades Doncic without shopping him.Vlade made a wrong pick (and did not make it by himself). It was praised as a great draft with 4-5 can't miss players. We know how it turned out. I wanted to draft Luka. But there were plenty of mock drafts that had us drafting Luka and saying "LOLKANGZ going to draft the next Darko".
Nico did something far worse, exchanging a known quantity who they deemed an "injury risk" and "too expensive" for an older, more injured player who makes the amount of money they claimed they didn't want to pay, without even soliciting other offers around the league or receiving fair compensation in the exchange.
I think David Stern would have stopped this trade.

Make it happen Adam Silver!Biggest karma would be Fox getting All NBA and the Kings winning the Title this year.

At least no dope of a GM ever pinned his career to the health of Robert Williams III.oof. Dude’s got more health issues than Embiid at this point.
