There are three players in the league I wouldn’t trade for Luka: Jokic, Shai, Wemby. That’s the list. The Mavs didn’t get all the Lakers picks; they didn’t get Austin Reaves; they didn’t go to auction. Luka better look like late-era Elvis by Christmas or this deal is cooked - ThreadSky

I'd take Giannis over Luka any day.

bobbytortoise.bsky.social•30 days ago

They almost definitely called on Giannis' availability.

Well Giannis is notoriously frugal so I don’t think you have to worry too much with him.

vmaxk1.bsky.social•30 days ago

Extremely accurate. Ja would be there too but I don't think he takes basketball or the fact that the league is going to make an example out of him every time seriously enough

The conspiracy theorist in me wants to believe that a right-wing ownership group didn’t want a foreign-born player to be the face of their franchise for the indefinite future

Luka is white Antoine Walker and the media really ignores his crap attitude and lack of conditioning. This trade illuminates how annoying he is.

daizaun.bsky.social•29 days ago

This “lack of conditioning” narrative is objectively bad man lmao.

He was playing 40 mins a game in the playoffs last season and he constantly closed out games in the 4th. Anything “conditioning” related to Luka has never held his team back.

The back of his head looks like a 6 pack of hotdogs, but ok

Adelson saw Cuban's comments about losing money overall on his Dragon's Den deals and said "Hold my beer."

Sounds they had concerns and frustrations over his ongoing conditioning, as well as thought he may not stick around past next season.

So you get a Top 75 player of all time who's still playing at a high level and is healthy this season, plus a 1st round draft pick. 🤷‍♂️
