    Some highlights

    Estimated 9 figure loss by moving Luka.

    Video tribute planned


    Just how dumb are the Mavs? Nico and Dumont still trying to make money on Luka after trading him

    Lol..By hook, crook or flat out steal, the Lakers always seem to find a way, to grab Superstars.

    Salute Jeanie Buss...you are definitely a chip off of the old block!


    Sell the damn team? Shiid

    well, i mean...this deal was really all rob, right? well, all nico harrison, but if rob's not here, luka's not here.

    so if it's trust jeanie's judgment on rob, ok. but it wasn't ownership brokering this move.

    Yeah. Rob's relationships around the league have always been a point of contention but man, talk about the power of knowing the right guy. Quality over quantity.

    yeah, i still think having rob as prez and hiring a gm with good league connections would help us, but really, the absolute hardest thing to do is done.

    I love how Ireland says “I know” because he understands the situation.

    Couldn't agree more. He either needs a heavy fine along with a suspension or a complete dismissal. They are there to keep the game fair and the flow moving along. Not to take out personal vendettas. I would check if he has made any bets on that game also.

    Mavs are sleeze now. Trash organization. I have a feeling Luka is going to come out firing tonight. Especially, after getting ejected last night for nonsense.
    40-10-10.

    He needs to make a statement.

    one thing i hate about whining backlash is the absolute refusal to address the reasons. like, of course SGA never whines, he's allowed to stiffarm and still shoot 10 FTs a night! what's there to complain about?!

    i think that ref tossed him because he knew luka was about to beat okc on his watch, and he was annoyed that there was nothing he could do to stop it otherwise.

    We were the 3rd choice, but at least he had a relationship with Nico, but Jeanie had to sign off on it. I'm still pretty sure that some things, were divulged to the ownership about Luka's situation, that have not been disclosed publicly. Saying no to a Luka for Ant trade doesn't quite seem right to me. Edwards is nice, but he's not quite at Luka's level IMO.

    People would hate on Jesus if he was a Laker. Good thing, Luka loves that, makes him an even better player, so hate away, bash him, provoke him. Like Kobe said, "you shake the tree, a leopard's gonna fall out" :)

    Talking heads are, well, stupid. Most are saying he needs to tone it down. WTF are they talking about? Nearly every offensive player yells something after a play to the refs. If anyone watches the game (which I'm not sold these talking heads really do) then he (Luka) isn't doing anything different than, lets say, Lebron.

    Just saw someone say SGA doesn't need to do that but 1. He isn't the same player as Luka and 2. I just point you to Abeers response " like, of course SGA never whines, he's allowed to stiffarm and still shoot 10 FTs a night! what's there to complain about?!" I agree 100%.

    Now, on that particular play Luka was running down the court and away from the official. Even if he said "call a F'n foul" it should of been a play on. He didn't show up the ref (even if he was addressing the ref) and should of been a none issue.

    I also think it's wrong to compare it to Draymond as he is way out of control. However, pick a star player on any team that doesn't get a lot of calls and you will see a lot of complaining/chatter from them. Players are responsible for knowing they are too close to the line BUT refs have to understand it's about the players/game not the officiating.

    Well MJ whined his a** off, for his entire career IMO. As great as he was, you weren't allowed to touch his Airness, after the Bulls finally got past the Bad Boys.

    f*** off! They should have stuck by it. Don't rescind it unless you're going to let us replay every second of game action following the ejection.

    Keep that a**clown away from us in the playoffs.

    Wonder if Nico and Dumont have the stones to show their face tonight. If so, wonder how many of these shirts hit them in the face.



    I like these better

    Let it go Luka. You're a Laker now and you will retire wearing P&G. We can start working on that statue now...

    Honestly, I think you nailed it. He knew Luka was taking over and couldn't have it. That's why I said I would check bets as well.

    They let them play more in the playoffs and don't call it quite so sticky. It worked for SGA in a couple of games for SGA getting calls against Dallas. But, for the most part it went similar to Harden how all of the calls dry up in the playoffs.

    These playoffs are going to be a blast. The only team I'm worried about are the Warriors and Boston.
