Luka Doncic Discussion: Lean Mean Slovenian Extension Machine

Luka is like a modern day version of Larry Bird. His go at you attitude is what we desperately needed. All those tight games we lost to the nuggets in the 4th. That doesn’t happen with Luka.

He’s going to destroy Anthony Edwards and Devin Booker for the next decade in the western conference. Only competition for him is Wemby who is a generational great himself if he stays healthy.

Jokic will age out. Unfortunately OKC will price themselves out of a dynasty again with SGA, Jalen Williams and Chet all having big contracts on the way. The future is bright if we can bring a running mate for him post LeBron.

 

I totally get it now from Nico’s perspective. I too would be be really frustrated with Luka’s lack of conditioning and how it could bring about even more injuries in the future. That being said, his numbers don’t lie and he may be the most clutch player in the game today.
This trade is the most even mega trade I’ve ever witnessed.
Also, a semi-truck load of more flowers for Rob for being able to keep the second pick and Dalton out of it.
Kobe, what more can I say? The dude is STILL affecting winning basketball for the Lakers 29 years AFTER he arrived!

 

Already breaking bread with JJ. I like it!


Spears vs Perk on when he'll be ready to play

 

One interesting thing, if this is true about this deal being renegotiated over 3.5 weeks is.... Max Christie's PT was up about 7+ minutes a game in January vs his season average.. Was Rob showcasing him these last few weeks..?

 

I still can’t believe he’s a Laker.

 

I would have liked that also

But the extra first round pick we are supposedly using for a big

It would have been slim pickings without that to use

 

That is amazing

 

is there any fear that he enters FA after his contract is up next season? there are teams that could pay him a lot more than what the lakers can

 

we have our new franchise player post lebron

 

I’m sure a part of Cubans soul died when he found out that trade was real.

That and Ainge unknowingly helping to make it happen really warms my heart.

 

again, in fairness, sub 5 first rounders in for AD (which he could fetch, no problem), and it doesn't look as bad.

AND that ballmer's team also helped make it happen lol.

 

B

Right. Our enemies all lined up to get us our new franchise player. The basketball gods truly went above and beyond. Lol

Yall buy this BS? He does NOT look even close to 270 in the pictures. Seems like the Mavs are just trying to throw dirt on the guy to justify the trade.
