    So let’s say the Mavs do get a championship this year and/or maybe next year, would that justify making this a good trade?

    Is Timelord still a no-go on back to backs? RWIII is the Portland Baseball of the NBA. Leverage only. No trade will happen.

    Absolutely and I have no problem if they do. It would be fun to watch Lakers fans explode over it. I do think Dallas is just as good now as they were a month ago. Maybe even better. And short term the Lakers might even be worse this year because AD could have still dominated a playoff series offensively and defensively.

    But long term it was still a steal for the Lakers.

    There's gotta be more to this than just Kidd wanting to get into Laker Heaven when he dies

    My guess is the decision came from the new owners. They probably had no plans to give him the max. No way the gM made the decision on his own.

    I wonder if a part of this is the new Mavs owners wanting to prove they don't have to do something Cuban would do.

    This makes no fucking sense from the Mavs end. I can maybe see that dumb Mavs GM who let Brunson walk deciding to do this trade.... But how the fuck does Mavs ownership approve it???

    Well sure....but you think Kyrie and Davis can lead a team to a title with a 36 year old hobbled Klay as their best wing?

    The Mavs are in the playin today - they might not even make the playoffs. How will the trade look then?

    Maybe coaching Luka is as annoying as watching him play basketball and they said fuck it.

    I feel like Thybulle and RW3 are gonna be traded, we don’t even play them. Where are the minutes gonna come from? I’d love Simons and Grant gone but I don’t see it.

    Has Brooklyn indicated that he is available? He is locked into a deal for another 4 years that gradually goes down. Seems like a keeper but granted I have not seen one Nets game this year.
