The ONE AND ONLY Luka Doncic discussion thread

[jiimbob]

the Kings, without Bagley, are a better team than the mavs without luka. Plug in doncic and the kings would have a better record than the mavs now . No doubt about it. Imagine the state of this kings fan base if doncic was doing what he’s doing now here in sac. Omg.......

Vlade has completely ruined this franchise for the next decade and a half. You suck vlade. IMO, Whatever you did for this franchise in your playing days has been cancelled out tenfold by you passing up on doncic. That’s how egregious this decision was.

Do us a favor and fire yourself like you said you would.

I actually am beginning to agree. Vlade's draft track record is actually pretty bad. Fox was a no brainer, hard to mess that up with the 5th. IMO the trade down with Portland from 10 in that draft to 15 and 20 was a fiasco. JJ, I hated that pick, and an injured Giles when we worked Mitchell twice. Again, like Luka what did Vlade not see in Mitchell. I don't care how many guards we have the guy is a difference maker. WCS was Vlades fascination with centers, another useless pick but not as bad as the following year. Trading the 8th to the Suns for Bogdan and two 1st rounders and unloading Marco for another 1st could have been brilliant, but Vlade took Papa, Malachi, and Skal, while my pick Murray sat waiting.
I guess its unfair to judge Bagley as he has sat all year, but yes Marvin over Luka is looking like another huge misjudgement at the moment. I have little trust Vlade and crew can judge talent but not sure if his departure would be a positive.

Anyone still want to talk about their record? Anyone?

2017-8: .293
2018-9: .402
2019-20: .727

Kings seasons above .727: 1948-9, 1949-50, 2001-2.

When Luka can catch lobs and get dunk putbacks like Bagley I will be impressed all this other stuff like win's/IQ/skills is irrelevant. Also are his per 36's even close to DMC during his time in Sacramento?

I wonder what Grant's gonna say tonight. There are a few takes in my mind that I think we'll hear at least a couple times.

Probably hyperbole about how great everything is going to be when everyone is healthy and on the same page.

 

[SLAB]

Lol

My old sig is the Klay 37 point quarter count.

I think my new one is gonna be a count of Kings' broadcast damage control takes. So far we've got one defense mention, not much else.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Joseph is doing ok on him so far this game.

HE COMPLAINS TOO MUCH!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

HE COMPLAINS TOO MUCH!

Seems accurate.

 

[SLAB]

Seems accurate.

Probably true. But you know Napear is going to zero on it for the rest of the game. Lol

 

[burekijogurt]

Luka crying over non called fouls like @SLAB over Luka

 

[Iced Espresso]

His court vision and post game potential show with a smaller guy on him. It's rather impressive as good as Joseph is defensively he can put the ball on the ground around him as much as he does.

Curious how he looks if Ariza guards him later.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Probably true. But you know Napear is going to zero on it for the rest of the game. Lol

Also true.

 

[SLAB]

So is Porzingis just totally washed and useless now?

 

[SLAB]

Never have we seen such defiance and disrespect on the court since the days of DeMarcus Cousins.

There appears to be a certain similarity in that respect.

I was unsure if that was hot take damage control, or just Grant pulling a Grant.

But he just KEPT harping on it, so it's definitely the former. Especially with that line about being a "great talent, but". Damage control.

 

[VF21]

But he's 7'3" ... he has to have value.

 

[Iced Espresso]

Well normally it would build up with Cousins. Luka getting heated early.

 

[SLAB]

But he's 7'3" ... he has to have value.

Somewhere.,, maybe... probably.

Dude barely even looked like he was taking up space on the floor, which is incredible for someone that big.

 

[SLAB]

For sure. It’s not something that’s ever been a major bother of mine (when you’re at a certain talent level) I was more having a laugh at one of Grant’s go-to complaints.

 

[VF21]

Somewhere.,, maybe... probably.

Dude barely even looked like he was taking up space on the floor, which is incredible for somehow that big.

Kind of reminds me of another Mavs great

 

[SLAB]

Seems like Luka got sent to bed early with no supper for his complaining and T earlier. Lol

 

[burekijogurt]

We might not own his rights, but it seems we own his team .
.....or is he just setting up the perfect stage for a furious comeback to punish the King's for skipping him. hmmmmm.....

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Probably true. But you know Napear is going to zero on it for the rest of the game. Lol

Why don't you listen to the Mavs' broadcast, and give your ears some respite?

 

[VF21]

Why don't you listen to the Mavs' broadcast, and give your ears some respite?

Grant actually hasn't said that much more about it...

 

[SLAB]

Why don't you listen to the Mavs' broadcast, and give your ears some respite?

Don’t have league pass. Just stuck to the local broadcast.

 

[Iced Espresso]

I was hoping to see more of Ariza on him to gauge differences between the size of the defender.

It's really best if you wait until they play the game before you start ridiculing. I realize how hard that is.
