Following in the anhedonia theme of another thread, I wish I didn't hate Luka Doncic, but I do. Part of it is that he went to Dallas. If he was on the Kings, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't hate him (I might even pity him), but why the fuck did THAT fucking franchise land him? How could THREE teams be so stupid as to pass on him, and why couldn't some other team offer more to one of them to move up? (I guess the Suns might get a pass just because I think playing Booker with Doncic would stunt one or both of them's game, and the Rockets always got a pass for taking Olajuwon over Jordan - even though Doncic is a lot closer to Jordan than Ayton is to Olajuwon.) But why does he have to be so young? He's already better than Dame (there, I said it) and he's got a game that doesn't depend on athleticism, so we could be looking at 14 or 15 more years of him. It's like being a Jordan-hater in the 90s.

Fucking Vlade Divac. I have a sneaking suspicion this is some leftover-from-the-Baltic-Wars shit deep down.
 
I dont think he’s better than Dame yet, but he’s got a better coach and a lot better surrounding cast.

if he stays healthy throughout his career, doncic will become one of the greats, like at least top 10 of all time, hes that talented

dame wont be nowhere near that...

I agree, but right now today. I dont think Luka’s better. Its close though.

it doesnt matter whos better today, doncic is 21, dame is 30

that kid made their offense the most efficient ever, think about that

i mean, god gave him everything, he doesnt have athleticism, but apparently he doesnt need it lol

It matters in the context of what I said originally though, in that I dont think he’s better than dame, “yet”. Look at the talent on that roster though, its built way better than Portlands.

my brother, i love dame the player and even more dame the person and i appreciate everything about him

saying doncic will end up as top 10 of all time, while dame wont, isnt shitting on dame, its just stating a fact

im not even sure it was planned

they trade up to get doncic, but they lucked into porzingis and hardaway jr... perhaps they wanted porzingis, but im not sure they originally wanted hardaway jr, but they got him too... two moves and just like that, they created future contender

What are excuses for non-Serbian Suns’ GM? Why target Vlad Divac?

Can we at least wait until Doncic wins a play-off series before these claims?

deandre ayton went to college in arizona, was 1st pick, so they went with it, thats what everybody wanted

he can become great, but doncic is generational player... we passed on michael jordan, phoenix, sacramento and atlanta passed on doncic

shit happens

you dont have to wait for anything, you just need healthy eyes

he will probably force favorites for the chip into game 7, all that while being only 21 in his second season

thats saying something (everything)

he won todays game without porzingis while not being 100% fit

correction, it's stating an opinion and to say that Dame is NOWHERE close is shitting on Lillard.

technically, yes, its an opinion, but to do what luka doncic is doing at the age of 21, thats greatness in the making

do you think dame lillard will be close to the top 10 of all time when its all said and done

Why do you hate Dallas so particularly?

I don't know. They just seem to be well-run in a way that I envy. I would hate Doncic on the Lakers or Houston even more.

Bugs me that Dallas ends up with some of my faves - Boban and Seth Curry, for example. Also that they managed to turn one of their biggest recent mistakes (Smith Jr.) into a franchise cornerstone.

What if doncic gets figured out and they trap him - stotts didnt learn from Carlisle how to get out of a trap lmao.

youre putting me in a bad position here

the one where i would turn out to be dames hater
 
Luka's skill set, matched with his height is such a luxury. Trapping guys like him, Lebron, Giannis is so much greater of a liability than trapping someone who is 6'2".

Thats a fair point.
 


This kid is special. He has done so much already. Crazy he has 10+ years ahead of him and should be nowhere close to his peak.

It's not a fact, at all. Luka has a long way to go before he's considered top 10 all time. And right now Dame is better than Luka. That my friend is a fact.
