    saw somewhere he can make a lot of the cash back (minus the taxes, of course) if he signs a three year deal and is still max eligible later.

    but again, these european guys don't care. they know that 10 million dollars means jack s*** when you have half a billion. your family will have money when the earth explodes. it doesn't matter.

    it's the disrespect. and man...this guy is ruthless on the court. ruthless. boston's lucky he was hobbled in the finals last year, tbh. he's terrifying. moreso than jokic, imo. and he's here now.

    That's what's absolutely crazy. I tried and gave up trying to find that amazing graphic of him leading ALL the BIG categories in the playoffs last year in SPITE of clearly being hobbled some. Scoring, assists, rebounds and two others.

    Hey man we got him now, Jeanie is going to take care of him. I just can't fathom, what he could have done, soo bad, behind the scenes, in order to get treated like that. It sure looked to me, like he gave everything he had, when he stepped on the court for them. I know Mark Cuban wouldn't have done that kid like that.

    Nice first day interviews. Took the high road.

    Let it play out on the basketball floor and scorch Dallas. :)

    One thing of note I did not know: that calf has been an issue. I don't like calf issues....:(

    I'm hoping he finds motivation with the trade and gets in the best shape possible. Injuries are the one thing that could derail this...

    yeah, i said i was worried about what they knew, but after reading a bit about their logic--i actually think they were paranoid?

    it jibes with their other (s***ty) move--they were concerned they'd face bigger problems later but took on a larger one now, imo.

    the brunson situation scarred them, but it should have given them more confidence, imo.

    anyway, their loss, our gain.

    They really gave us Luka. I don’t know how long it’s going to take for me to truly wrap my head around all of this.

    I thought he looked sad and depressed during the press conference. I think it’s going to take some time to get over this trade for him.

    I do feel bad for Luka that he got blindsided like this. It’s a shame as he did do everything he could for Dallas. But their loss, our gain.

    A few months before the trade , there was an opinion that many teams and sources in the league expressed to me that Harrison had no desire to remain in the position of the club’s general manager in the long run », – reporter Tim Kato said.

    actually, the idea that harrison is making moves to pad a resume that's not "nba general manager" but rather some more lucrative position in a different industry makes a s***-ton of sense right now.

    Even if the Mavs win back to back titles, unless Luka’s career is shortened by injury, people will still hate this move.

    I have an idea. “Karma”, finally for Cuban and other owners having Stern wreck our franchise for a decade keeping it from what it should have been with Kobe paired next to Chris Paul shortly after winning his 5th ring …. just made Nico Harrison go brain dead and hand us Luka Doncic to even the score. :cool:

    :ShaqOh2: ??

    The city of Los Angeles will wrap their arms around Luka and love him like their own. I like that he’s shown a human element by being hurt by leaving Dallas. That will endear him to our fan base because no one is more passionate about their stars than us.
