That Pau trade started the Doom thread actually and it only became a tradition for game day wins later
"I’d rather listen to my parents have sex than Richard Jefferson for another minute." How about Jefferson and Doris Burke having sex? That would have to be worse.
I’ve got a busy morning, but I’ll do some more doom later. Overall the mad fans HATE this trade and think it’s the worst in history. There were 1000’s of posts with some form of the above wording. Dead guys?….we specialize in them. Come on over. Got to make that money. You mean the same Cuban that didn’t pay Steve Nash, or broke up the championship team? You haven’t checked Laker fan sites then. Let him grow a unibrow? My appetite died for 30 minutes, but it’s back now. Now, if we can just get Luka’s to die permanently. Because Stern is no longer here. Yep. Minus the championship part. You mad? Luka ain’t no Bridges. lol Fake news…..not.
NBA viewership just lost another person. This franchise is a joke in the league is a joke. Not switching to another team this league is dead to me. Dead guys?….we specialize in them. Come on over. I named my kid Luka. What am I going to do now? Let him grow a unibrow? How did the Chris trade get voided but this doesn’t. Because Stern is no longer here. I’m laughing so hard now because this has to be fake. Edit it’s on SportsCenter. >>>> the Oh S*** moment Fake news…..not.
i'll repeat it: is this really the level of disrespect all these guys have for AD? i get that it's absolutely unprecedented to trade a top-5 nba player in his prime without a trade demand--that definitely is shocking. but i guess i figured guys like caruso--who played with AD--wouldn't be as blown away. and maybe they're all just reacting to luka being traded at all (or AD being traded at all), but it sort of reads like they can't believe the price.
I really do think it’s the shock of it coming out of nowhere. These were when Most of the sports world legit thought Shams was hacked.
Here’s a bit more doom but it’s all a version of the same, “ I’m no longer a Mavs fan. Boycott the team. We got screwed etc.” I’ve only seen a handful of fans liking this trade out of thousands of post I’ve read. I’m personally not as down on the trade for the Mavs as their fans are. It has shortened their window but they are going to be a handful in this year’s playoffs. No going to hell is the definition of a Clipper fan….minus the toilets, I am a girl after all. Get anything you want? Maybe Nico is a Laker fan. Since you can see into the future, can you give me the lottery numbers? Drama queen and people say Laker fans are insufferable. Do you have a Nuggets pod? I watched your video, it was golden. I probably couldn’t names 3 players from that Mavs era. Having Kyrie, Klay and Ad is definitely not the end of the world. Coming from a Mavs fan whose team has won all of ONE freaking championship, this is rich….and not the Paul kind. The guy in the coma doesn’t have a problem sleeping. Be careful what you wish for. Must see TV. This is the only decent conspiracy I read on their sites. Yes but did Bron scout you in the womb? No you get the nasty in season tournament game courts. No more dead guys please. Welcome to your future. Leave your keys in your car and it will get stolen. Just like we stole Luka from you. Will they bring in more than one first round pick? Hate watch 2025. The Luka storm watch is on the horizon. Sorry the AI trade machine does not recognize this trade. Unfortunately, his home address has already been posted online. So sad. We like our cake and eat it too. Pics or it didn’t happen. Hopefully a Clipper ship will find you and pick you up. I hear they have lots of toilets. Is this what they call praying to the holy dollar?
one thing, though: he acts like boston's two titles since the automobile were invented didn't come as the result of incredible luck. first, your gm's buddy gifts you a hofer in his prime, and for the next one, every team you played in the playoffs was down one or more key players. it was wild. i mean, you can only beat who's out there, but acting like all of our success is dumb luck is glass house stuff. i'm certain that lebron came here, in part, because we didn't sell off kobe like the C Bags did their title trio. and when AD came here, it was partly because he felt boston didn't treat their stars very well (and he was right!). luck is the residue of design, some say. and same with them: getting jrue holiday was pure luck--he shouldn't have been available to them. but they had the pieces from previous good management and were able to pounce when he was. same with horford. they took him in a salary dump when it looked like he was dead. they weren't expecting him to be playing 30mpg in the finals three years later! luck! but built in part on a previously good relationship with horford, so credit there. we deserve credit for keeping our focus on big fish as basically the brand. people are like, why did nico call rob? because he knows the lakers will move heaven and earth to make this happen (and apparently do so quietly). anyway, just my mini-gripe about the narrative, particularly from bill.
Yeah... it's always a good day when Chuck, Bill, Screaming A and other asshats are pissed at Lakers. Perhaps was worth doing the trade only for that and that delicious Nuggest podcast reaction video. One of the best things ever.
"Kwaaaaame Brown"... Still feels good. Difference, of course, we had a superstar in his prime and the one coming in was a perfect fit.
