Do u find the game becoming a little boring?? In the way of its all perimeter shooting as opposed to the one on one contests of yesteryear??? Skillset nowhere near as high yet finding NBL more enjoyable these days. Its slowly also becoming a 3 point fest though
Yeah the NBA is nowhere near as good as it use to be. Everything you said I agree with.

The NBL has been excellent for a few years now.

As a dallas fan this move genuinely makes me contemplate suicide or extreme violence against Nico, the GM. This is just such a baffling fucking decision

Doncic must have wanted out. You don’t trade the best player in the nba

I'm still shocked by this trade lol. Imagine trading at best the second best player in the world & at worse the fourth best player in the world for that.

One of the worst trades I've seen. Makes zero sense. You need Stern back to veto this one. Lakers struck gold. The Mavs could have traded Luka for 10 times more

Utah three times this for Rudy Gobert

Apparently both players had no idea about the trade. That is absolutely insane. I’m still shocked. How does the GM of Mavs survive this. One of the worst trades I’ve ever seen.

Basically they traded a 25 year old superstar for a nearly 32 plus year superstar with an injury history. They could have got so much more for him from other teams. The trade makes no sense.

It'd be like trading Mbappe for Harry Kane

As a Mavs fan, Nico Harrison and the new owners can go fuck themselves. I'm still in total shock.

The coach would be devastated. How do you make the biggest trade of all time and not consult the coach or anyone else? I’m baffled he went straight to the Lakers, didn’t consult any other team. He said he thinks about the short term goals for the team not long term…. That says it all…

Haha. Luka and Zion are having a battle to see who can put on the most weight. No doubt he's been taking the piss in that regard, doesn't play D, whines too much to the refs and dominates the ball too much.

I'm not even mad at them trading him. But they should have started a bidding war for him and could have gotten a million times more than AD who is 32, banged up and is soft and lazy at times as well despite his numbers.

In nrl terms
They traded 2010 jarryd hayne for 2016 Jeremy Smith. They got cucked harder than West Tigers entering in negotiations for a marquee player. Lakers will be the long term winners...esp if they can harness him correctly this year..
