    Klay? Do you think it's 2017?

    Dallas basically became a worse version of the Suns. They'll be lucky to avoid a sweep in the playoffs - if they even make them.

    Lakers have no center now at all.

    I believe defense wins championships too. But dude fell in love with the limited semi success they’ve had without Luka. Thinking it can hold up

    they've got Kleber now but he has a broken foot and will probably miss the rest of the season

    Lakers will probably be shopping hard for a C but everybody they talk to will want that 2031 first. The trade might happen to the team that will accept the heaviest protection

    They don't even need to protect it with Luka now.

    What gets me is that if the Mavs had questions about his conditioning, shouldn't they have considered disciplining him? Or if you're gonna pay him, put clauses in there to ensure that he is conditioning or something?

    I'm convinced that there's more to the story whether we'll ever know the details or not because this trade just defies logic and sound reasoning.

    They made this move for the sole purpose of deflecting our amazing win against the Suns.

    Fuckers!

    Why not start a bidding war though? Announce you are trading him and let teams fight over him. Why take the shittiest possible deal?

    I hope Joe is on the line with Nico right now asking what they want to give for Grant.
