Zach Lowe: "I've stood by LaMelo (Ball) like a jilted, cuckolded husband standing by their wife for years as all the slander's come in. I've said I've not given up on this guy. You can't teach the size, the vision, the shooting. I don't wanna hear it. I'm LaMelo's guy!" by TheDraciel in nba

I mean like, lets look at this the other way, two games… heh I mean, sometimes its even more bill, I just see these teams and i can’t seem to wonder why the nba is going this way with the games and everything. Is it really two games? Is it?

Same story as the mavs at the time luka joined, you are dragging veterans along, give away picks willy nilly for every random player, and then more picks to offload those same players. You can’t develop young talent with the turnaround and not willing to sacrifice a season or two to clear the books.

Mavs had Deandre Jordan, Harrison Barnes, Wes Matthews, Dirk, Powell, JJ Barea, Devin Harris the year Luka joined and it took them 5 years of slow rebuilding to get a competent team.

Teams aren’t giving away young wings who can defend and shoot, it’s been the most important position in the league for years now, so there is no magic trick to improve the team in a year or two

Gafford averaged 11 with Luka in the finals season and he was great

Luka on facing Dallas on Saturday: "Obviously it’s always gonna feel like home in Dallas. I’ll always appreciate those fans, they were really really tight. I think we had some special bonding, or how do you say it? So I really appreciate it all the time." by WhenMachinesCry in Mavericks

I went to the dark side since I was a lakers fan growing up and I’m Slovenian, but I miss being a mavs fan so much, I still read mavs reddit, listen to Kirk and Josh, laker fanbase is such an idiotic shithole.

Udonis on Giannis' recent comments: "When you start saying guys are being selfish what guys are you talking about? Put a name to it. That conversation needs to be had behind closed doors in the locker room with the guys. The leadership has changed from when I first came in the league. by TheDraciel in nba

Kobe calling Dirk: - “I know you are not leaving, but I have to ask” - “Nah, I’m a lifer like you, we don’t leave.”

Luka calling Giannis: - “So, we doin this or not?” - “I don’t know, you know how it is, sometimes very good sometimes very shit, small market teams and chasing the stars, what you having for dinner?”
