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.

KD such a snake, but if CP3 gets a ring then ehhh its not so bad. Booker seems like a good dude too. Can't see Luka and Kyrie working, both so ball dominant.
Lakers got better as they needed shooting, swapping Pat Bev straight up for Bamba is a good trade also. We'll see if the rumored AD LeBron beef comes to anything, dick move petulantly sitting through the scoring record celebrations.
Oh yeah @mariner4life Giddey is really good, he'll be an all star eventually I reckon

They should have traded AD. He's got a pea for a heart and he's made of glass

@canefan he was THRILLED to see LeBron get the scoring record.

Agree with the KD sentiment.
Don't know if Marks is out just yet though, they've got a billion high picks over the next few seasons do they not? And apparently he/his team are pretty good at scouting/development.

Honeymoon over
I am basing my opinion on this footage of AD because this is the only footage I have seen of the incident, but I think people are being too harsh on AD. Is there a set way to celebrate now? Should he have jumped to his feet and bounced around? What if that'd just not in his personality? Like he's an introvert or something? The leg jiggling and knee slapping (I think) looked like a congratulations to me. And the video stopped just as he looked like he was getting to his feet. What happened after that?

A good read about how the KD trade went down.
Inside the final days of the greatest superteam that never was
Ramona Shelburne and Brian Windhorst go inside one of the most audacious 144-hour periods in NBA history, including Brooklyn's superteam dismantling and how it gave way to a new behemoth in Phoenix.

@Crazy-Horse there was another video of Lebron and AD talking on the bench, they are tight as so I don’t think there is anything there. AD was ticked off with Russ and add to the fact he was playing poorly. I think he was ready to explode.

GP2 fails his medical then this comes out
Stay classy Portland
The crazy thing about all this is that he hasn’t played much and as is tradition around trade deadline time, guys get played to try and make them attractive to other teams.

I can understand why BKLN swung for the fences and built that superteam. They seem like a small market team despite being in NYC, it is not considered a top FA destination. I think they have done reasonably well to recover from this failure, reloading with a bunch of young good players and a swag of draft capital.
Dallas are taking a gamble with KI, but I guess Cuban is comfortable with the possibility that he might leave at the end of the season when the upside might be adeep playoff run.
LAL made some solid moves as well. Got rid of a bunch of expiring contracts, including Westbrook, and got younger with much improved cap flexibility for next season.

I watched Legacy, the true story of the Lakers on Disney+. Full of interviews with Dr Buss, all of the important players from the Showtime Lakers onward, and the Buss kids. Fuck me the eldest two sons are fucken screw ups, they are lucky Jeannie took control because Jim was the quintessential Tommy Boy

Watched Malice in the Palace tonight, it was great.
Highly recommend and interesting to think of the effects on the different players.
Tracking the careers of O’Neal, Artest and Jackson is quite something.
And Ben Wallace is a Hall of Famer….
