It's a great move for Dallas
It could be the championship pieces. Or, he might fuck us completely.
If he doesn't respect KD enough to play for the team, what are the chances he's diamonds for the Mavs? At least they didn't give up much
Pretty much how I feel, but I think they’ve given up a bit given that he might be a one season rental. I think Dinwiddie is pretty useful and would have been ok if we’d added more around him. Luka needs shooting around him and we need help on defence. I’m not sure we get enough of what we really needed.

So many if’s! Dinwiddie is “useful”. We just need shooting and defense!
Mate, so does everyone!
Mavs are currently in 6th, neither challenging or tanking or really growing.
You’ve got a genuine superstar in Luka, and you’ve added a basketball genius in Kyrie, someone you might not want to build your franchise around , but someone you’d very happily take into a G7 anywhere.
Luka is ready to win now, who knows if / when his body might break down.
Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
Take your shot

and so it's Dallas who are trying their hand at the "make Kyrie work" magic trick.
They gave up Dinwiddie but little else
DFS is their best wing defender and he has a bit of size to play switches. That’s a loss for the Mavs.
Lots of noise about the Nets doing another deal that could actually involve Dinwiddie.
That Suns deal would’ve been something the Nets would’ve liked but they went cold.

Kyrie, Luka, Hardaway, Wood, Powell is not a bad starting 5 by any stretch. Add Bullock, Kleber, Green, Morris, Bertans and they have shooting around Luka and Kyrie.
Powell is a workhorse on D and when Wood wants to play D he isn’t a slouch (but it’s top 2 inches with him).

And yet somehow the Rockets, the Pistons and the Hornets are all there right with us.These teams better hope this skinny fuck Webenyama doesn't break
i can only dream of being as shit as the Magic and the Lakers

Good old American sports.
The game stops for 10 minutes after LeBron breaks the all time points scoring record.
Amazing accomplishment - you have to wonder if it's one of the those records that will never be broken although with the 3 point shot so prevalent maybe not.

pretty sure they said that about Wilt's record
it's highly improbable though. LBJs career to get to this point in 70 games every year for 20 years averaging over 27 points. That's phenomenal longevity. How many guys his age are still regularly sticking up 30-point games?

@TeWaio i thought it was pretty funny that he had 36 to 3/4 time. got 2 more for the record. and then no more. And his team lost by 3.
Josh Giddey looked fucking good in the NBL, and it's very cool to see him now look very good in the NBA.

Motherfucker!!!
Goddamn being in the West right now.
I bet we lose Luka.
Lose Luka??? Whaddya mean?
No way in hell he gets traded, you mean when he’s a FA in 26-27???
Suns look seriously scary to me. Lakers got better, but damn the Suns man.
Would love to see a Boston v Bucks and Suns v Dallas CFs

My point is that unless you have three stars, you cant hold your one star. And the Kyrie trade just got blown up as shit. We’re not winning this year.

Jeez you’re so negative!
I reckon the Suns will be really good. But you guys have Luka and Kyrie, 2 of the top 5 iso players in the league. Defense won’t be fun, but you should be able to score with anyone

I am. I wasn’t that keen on the Kyrie trade anyway, so it’s probably not that surprising that this trade makes me feel less confident.
I’d like to add that I really fucking dislike Kevin Durant. He’s an amazing basketball player but he’s a ring-chasing follower. I’m glad it all blew up in Brooklyn. I assume Marks is going to be on his ass soon, unless it was all done by the owners.
I do hope that the Suns will be must watch TV for all the wrong reasons.
