Once again, get beat by the Pistons and make some changes. Heh

[alias#?]

Luka must be fatter and lazier than I thought because this seems like a lopsided trade otherwise.

[cinnepa]

Shitty deal for mavs....could of been much better if they shopped him around to all the teams.

[54-46]

Pissed the Lakers get a great player for low buy in. Again. Rigged?

There's gotta be a catch, this is a robbery.

[TahoeJ]

That’s one of the craziest trades of all time. Wow.

[Danno]

Batshit crazy

[cinnepa]

Ok....I'll give up embiid...pg...for Austin reeves and another star plus picks. Lake show still need a big man...would have to be 3 team deal.

Every article I’ve read states conditioning as one of the major reasons,and the result from that is frequent injuries. But he was also due for a Supermax and maybe Cuban is just being cheap?

Wild trade either way. And the lakers still need a good center. Maybe Luka will embrace the Cali lifestyle and go full health kick, yoga and smoothies. Or LeBron and him won’t mesh and there will be a weird power struggle. Keeps it interesting at least

[DBdude]

mark cuban says he has nothing to do with it

[Danno]

Cuban doesn't own the team anymore

[t-the-east]

Had to look that up, I still see him at every game, so I assumed he still was. He’s still twenty seven percent owner, but gave up operational decisions.

[BobMc]

I hope the Pistons ride out this deadline without doing anything unless it’s renting their only one in the league cap space for a first rounder. I like where the team is at, they sure are a fuck ton more entertaining to watch than last year.

Cade as an all star is cool, good to see Ausar getting some respect as an alternate for the second year players. I could see Ausar and Amen making some noise in the NBA for a while, both dudes with crazy athleticism. I was hoping Ron Holland would get some love. I love watching him play, he’s a damn nuisance on the court.. He plays a lot like Dyson Daniels, nobody likes to be guarded by Ron or Dyson. I’ll be curious to see if Malik Beasley will be in the three point shootout. Comes off the bench and is second to Edwards in made threes for the season.

One of my long time ski buddies is a huge Jazz fan. We usually swap years buying tickets for the Jazz v Pistons. Generally we’re poor and sit in the upper bowl, I got us 21st row aisle seats mid court, stoked. (March 3rd) Shit is a lot cheaper with the Jazz tanking and folks sleeping on the Pistons.

[mcski]

He still has around thirty percent

[EWG]

Just here to add a what the actual fuck.

[TahoeJ]

Cuban has zero to do with this. He loves Luka. He has no control at all.

[mcski]

He may not be calling the shots operationally anymore but owning ~30% is a long way from having no control.

Ok, so this is all hearsay from reddit but the Adelson's want to build a casino attached to a new arena. Texas said no and now they're tanking the team so they can move them to Vegas.

Either way Cuban had nothing to do with this. I can't imagine being a Mavs fan right now, that press conference was absurd. I actually felt sorry for Jason Kidd and I never thought that would happen.

Spurs get Fox and give up next to nothing.

The Jazz got PJ Tucker and Mo Bamba lol

Another tough trade deadline as a jazz fan. I hate seeing the lakers get a 25 yr old generational talent in Luka for a 31 yr old very talented center that has been injury prone. Especially when the jazz helped make the trade happen by being the third team.

Also hurts to see the spurs get fox especially since they didn’t have to give up castle. That team just got a lot more interesting and talented…..

Gonna be hard to compete with those squads for years to come

landing Flagg will soothe Jazz fans. Danny is playing the long game. Though that Luka trade is bonkers and definitely screws things up for Laker haters.

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

Damn there's some good games on tonight.

Rockets v Knicks
Spurs v Griz
Kings vs TWolves
Bucks v Thunder

[Danno]

That Rockets team is really fun to watch.

Interesting little thread related to the above comment about the Adelsons tanking plus other scenarios

And a little comment about a former warriors owner talking about the possibility of a LIV like alternative starting up

Just saw (unconfirmed) Butler to the Warriors for Wiggins, Anderson, Schroeder, and a protected 1st. If true, doesn't really seem to make the Warriors better?
