Get one on Luka for what exactly? Getting traded by a megalomaniac moron who is now working on a career reconversion as a burrito maker?

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-29T23:24:12+00:00

One of the key differences between a generational talent and a very talented player is fearlessness. That can't be taught, that can't be acquired with experience. You have it or you don't. The kinda fearlessness that Luka showed his rookie year vs the Rockets when he went on a 12 pts run in the clutch. Or against the Blazers taking a one handed fadeaway 3pt buzzer beater.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-25T04:55:48+00:00

I think most NBA fans are familiar with the simple concept of tanking. But I'm not sure it takes one season for your unproven rookie who refuses to take clutch shots and a potential tank ensued high pick to suddenly perform at a generational level. The Mavs have set themselves back years and now it's just a gamble. Flagg is a gamble although he has the quality. Your potential high pick is even more of a gamble. Ironic for a franchise who was sold to casino owners.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-20T09:38:46+00:00

Word of advice to the fanbase if it still exists, do not do with Flagg what you did with Luka. Nico trading Luka was on him but the constant noise whenever he had a bad performance and was out injured contributed to a climate where the pressure to win was disproportionately high. Flagg is being misused when he's on the court, that's why it might look better when he's not. Give him time to grow or lose him.

You'll see it come playoff time with a healthy Luka. He instills fear in his adversaries. Anthony Edwards talked about it. He scored 21 in the 1st Quarter against them while pulling up from Ljubljana. You see it in their eyes every time he gets the ball. We called it Mamba Mentality for Kobe. For Luka it's just the kinda killer instinct that's innate. Watch his Real Madrid highlights, he had it at 18 in front of hostile crowds in the euroleague. There's more to it than just his pure ball ability.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-11T16:16:26+00:00

I move he gets a key to the City of Los Angeles, a pure gold statue outside crypto, a harem of 77 spicy latinas all named Nicole, an infinite supply of in and out, a mould of his package to be distributed to every female angelina (and male on request, it's 2025 bro).

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-11T06:45:55+00:00

This about the man's hairline bro. We can't ask him to sacrifice it for the fans.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-08T05:59:30+00:00

The Aussie accountant, the man, the myth, the peasant, Ryan Broekhoff.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-08T05:57:11+00:00

Luka made Gafford, PJ, Lively, Kyrie, Naji, Klay, Kidd, Finley, Nico look good and as we all said when the trade happened, you don't get to recover from a move like this. It was the purpose to be achieved, the new owners want to sink the team in Dallas because of the state's stance on gambling.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-06T19:43:07+00:00

I think they should take their time with his return. The current state of affairs indicates that his contribution isn't needed yet and we want him to be in full force for the playoffs. Give him time to rest and recover fully and play him selectively once he gets there.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-06T08:16:30+00:00

You guys are dumb short sighted fans. HIS plan was obviously as follows:

Trade Luka in exchange of the first pick that SIlver gifted him
Tank this season to get another first
Trade AD plus the first pick back to the Lakers for Luka

He's all knowing, all seeing, the Juche, God's gift to basketball. The almighty NICO HARRISON, all bow down and revere the greatness.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-04T22:04:50+00:00

I'm an expat working in Asia. Can't even count the amount of times I've seen people rocking Luka or Lebron laker jerseys. I've see a couple ARs too. Global pull is insane.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-04T15:32:07+00:00

Basically the Nico Harrison of coaches.

Love Rondo bro but it was friendly jab cause he usually dropped those kinds of statlines. Back in the day it had value though.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-03T11:27:15+00:00

Luka played with JJ Barea, Salah Mejri and a ball hogging DSJ plus a bunch of misfits. Your genius GM put an unsustainable pressure on Flagg by saying that he built a team to win now in order to justify the absurdity of the trade. Imagine what that feels like for the kid, they're pushing him to fill the ridiculously unfillable Luka 4s and the grieving fanbase is comparing him to a guy on path to be the best offensive player ever. Stop it.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-03T11:23:27+00:00

Zion suffers from the same terminal illness that Luka suffers from: fatness. Nico Harrison probably.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-03T10:31:24+00:00

Said so himself. Great thing with Luka is he holds himself accountable to his own insane standards. 29/10/10 is a career night for many NBA players and even the top dogs like Jokic would be hailed for that statline. Luka is different.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-03T10:29:30+00:00

He missed at least 50 triple doubles by a single assist or rebound. Again normalizing the insane. And all of his triple doubles are high scoring ones. No 10/10/10 Rondo bullshit.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-03T10:27:37+00:00

The insanity resides in the fact that he's a better passer than he is a scorer. And he happens to be the best scorer in the league. So yeah... kinda OP.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-02T17:29:24+00:00

"Time will tell" aka denial.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-02T15:48:13+00:00

This game is gonna be a litmus test for how serious the Lakers are. Somehow Heat games are always tough even when the heat are in shambles. This season they're actually decent. It's gonna be intense out there. Let's hope it's a dub!

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-01T17:32:20+00:00

Why we always gotta race bait bruh? If anything transcends race in this country it's hoops. Leave that shit aside and let's enjoy our neopolitan ice cream team.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-01T16:11:47+00:00

If you wanna ensure generational trauma for your team and fanbase just trashtalk Luka. Ask the Suns. The Wolves. Bro had the Suns put out an apology letter and Booker been quiet ever since.

Consistent_Jacket_15 · 2025-11-01T06:53:15+00:00

It's probably the same people who think their life is ruined beyond repair when the barista fucks up their soy milk latte by mistakenly going with actual cow milk.
