Blow for All Blacks as Mo’unga decides to stay in Japan

Exclusive: In-demand first-five Richie Mo'unga was in talks with NZ Rugby about an early return this year but they have fallen through, writes Patrick McKendry.

That will slow the fuckers down.

just making sure you saw it, because i knew you would love it

It's the best so far.

@mariner4life said in NBA Season - now 24/25:

Hey booboo.

BTW, who is this fucking guy the Lakers got? It feels like they gave up about as much as they did for Luka (I know AD is a great player) but still, two good pieces and a first rounder? That fucking pick should be in Dallas!!!

@Kruse

I spell it the French way

Lakers turn the pick and pieces left to them into the big man they need.

I want to play a game of Rochambeau with Nico and I’m going first.

BTW.
In 2006 the Mavs went to the finals with Dirk.
We got a championship with him in 2011.
Last year, finals with Luka.
A five year timeline for Luka would have been fine for fans.b
But this GM knows he'll be out the picture by then, based on the decisions he's already made.

Dallas are fucked

Sorry @gt12

You’ve no chance of winning

That's fucking cold after I made you an honorary gt12 family member.

However, I guess it is required for family to tell the truth. And, we are fucked. The Mavs faithful know it too, we are all fucking furious.

I am about 60% sure you're agreeing with me, so......great! haha

I think I am.

Our next fucking 10 years.

Look, I know we might not have been a championship team, but we had an All NBA player, we just went to the finals, and we needed is a front office to put the pieces around him.

Instead... we get this shit.

for Anthony Day-to-Davis???

Been more durable lately.

I did like the idea that they needed a better defender because they were shown up in the Finals by the Celtics. But of course in the process of acquiring a rim protector they traded away the reason they got to the Finals in the first place...

They had the 8th best D in the league last year when making finals.

They lost the Finals because they couldn't shoot well enough when it counted, not because the Celtics were rinsing them for 140pts per game.

Jesus, I'm going to get going on this again.

I'm not going to do a Nepia.

Fat lazy fluffybunny.

OH MY GOD Nico Harrison, the GM of the Dallas Mavericks, is MALFEASANT if this is true Reports are the original deal was MUCH better for the Mavs and included in addition multiple first rounders and...

I feel like highlanders fan, but searching for potential positives, maybe Luka is fucking cooked?

It’s likely one of those things where you can talk yourself into it, if you are the only person really involved and an idiot.

Kidd apparently wasn’t involved, and from the deal itself it seems like he just wanted Davis and ended getting pantsed to get him.

We didn’t get Reeeves (tradeable asset) or their other pick! That’s unforgivable either way when you look at the quality of Luka.

Fuck look at what the Kings just got!

@barbarian said in NBA Season - now 24/25:

If you win a ring this year the trade will be rightfully lauded as genius.

The issue to me is that Dallas will not actually win a ring this year, or any year. So the above scenario is purely hypothetical. Because it was a horrible trade made by a moron.

Shit man, give me a little hope here.

you're right of course, it's probably the definition of GM malpractice. This guy has form too, have you guys heard about the Nike pitch he gave to Steph curry where he called him Seth and the slides were made for Durant?

I cannot believe that the Mavs did not get the other lakers pick.
The Lakers can go get a big man to help Luka now, using that fucking pick.
I just do not fucking get how that pick is not with the Mavs.

They kept Reaves and the picks. Talk about a fire sale. I can't see how the GM keeps his job, surely he must have consulted Mark Cuban? Has he learned nothing since trading away Steve Nash?

Cuban has already said he is out of the picture.

Ah I read he sold the majority stake to some casino magnate in 2023. Has no input into team management matters anymore.

Who knows, maybe AD is the missing piece. But if Dallas don't win it all within a year or two there will be no shortage of people happy to run Harrison out of town

If they don't win this year or next, he won't be in town to find out.

I'll accept the choice if we win this year or next. But, if we don't, then we've lost 10 years of being a potential challenger.

Luka is the only 5-time all NBA player under 30 (who is still active) and they traded him. He's only 25!

That's either mad or he's cooked.

Bontemps called it the biggest short in NBA history. We'll see whether he's Lehman Brothers or Morgan Stanley.

@barbarian

Can't argue with the Spurs choosing the generational players,, but the Bulls were the ones who won the draft in 1987 (Robinson).

Krause was a fluffybunny, but at least he was a smart fluffybunny, unlike this fuckstain Harrison.
