NBA Season - now 24/25

Trade Deadline looms
Jimmy Butler continues to be a bitch in Miami and i think is indefinitely suspended by the team.
The chat is, he wants to go to the Suns and nowhere else. The Suns have to move someone to make that happens, and word is, that's Bradley Beal. Bradley Beal wants to go somewhere warm with a good team. However it does not appear there are any teams that fit that description that want Bradley Beal.
The surprising one to come up is the Kings moving De'Aaron Fox. The Kings are on a bit of a tear since sacking their coach, and Fox has been there since being drafted. Word is he wants to go to the Spurs to play with Wemby.
The Bulls are going to fire sale everyone because they are already a bit shit, and the only way they keep their first round pick this year out of the Spurs' hands is if it is in the top 10, so the tank is on.

Lakers now don't have anyone to play defence
So any day I expect them to announce they've traded Bronny James and a 2040 3rd round pick for Wemby

A bit of context
What the fuck? Not sure that benefits either team on its own. Ironically AD has been playing well this season. Luka has big upside, but he can't stay away from the buffet table and he can't play defence
-
I don't know enough about the roster to know how this works for Dallas. AD is having a very good season, he'll give them rim protection and scoring. But he's injury prone and 30. I just didn't see this coming, although I did think trading AD was a reasonable option last season

-
the story keeps getting weirder. And the playing group look like they have basically quit given the DNPs and the effort today.
-
Also, had he shopped around, i am confident that the Spurs would have given all our picks for Luka. All of them.
-
I’ve moved from shock to be just fucking furious.
They didn’t even get all of the Laker’s picks! For Luka!
I’m furious that they haven’t put pieces around him to succeed, furious that they have traded him, abd furious that they didn’t set up an auction if they were going to trade him.
It seems that the GM was pissed and traded away the franchise player, with, let’s say 10 more good years of service and the ability to be MVP 2?3? times in that period.
Fuuuuuuuuuuck

Turns out Kidd didn’t know, Luka didn’t ask to be traded, and Nico only spoke to the Lakers
He could be lynched by Dallas fans. It’s borderline criminal to not even see what you can get in the market for a guy of that calibre
I’m lining up!
fluffybunny mustn’t have sat through 30 years of the Mavs being the absolute shittest team in the league. We may not win it all but we are a playoff team with an absolute star. This is (potentially) our third golden era (era is a bit strong, but best time since we lost Dirk) and this fucking just traded away the piece to build a team around.

-
read any Mavs board on the net and it's the same thing. They've turned comments off on all their socials!
Not only did they trade Luka without telling him, they called him a fat loser on the way out. He is going to ruin the Mavs every single time he plays them.

This isn't the first time the Lakers have been gifted a superstar on a platter
the history is fucking ridiculous
Wilt
Kareem
Shaq
LeBronAll traded to the Lakers for fuck all with prime years left. This is why the Lakers don't give a shit about draft picks, they don't fucking need them
-
They went out to get Kyrie when they could have lined up two 3&D guys to help on the wings and keep Brunson and we might have already been there!!!!!!!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Luka needs the ball and doesn’t play much defense. Let’s get another guy who hates defense and needs the ball. As a one-two punch it was fun but not a championship team without some starch on D.
-
there is a fair argument to make that this trade is actually makes both teams worse
