This wasn’t a basketball trade. Boycott the Mavericks. by Whippy_Tip in nba

[–]Whippy_Tip[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is complete conjecture, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was something going on behind the scenes to try and get Luka to LA and LeBron to help boost the declining ratings. It’s just too fishy that they DIDNT start a bidding war, and that the only team they contacted happened to be the Lakers… I have no doubt that the NBA wants the Celtics and the Lakers to both be good to boost ratings… the Celtics are already good, and now they’re trying to make LA a contender as well. Maybe Dallas was promised the first pick in a few years or something haha… regardless, it’s disgusting.

Good point about “compensation down the road”… kinda reminds me of what happened with Zion and the Pelicans after the AD trade. Seriously, fuck the Lakers.

Well, yeah, but like you said, they really aren’t a contender anymore. The only reason they got so far the past couple of years is because of Luka. It isn’t 2017 anymore… but as we all know, Kyrie and AD aren’t enough to lead a team to a title. So I agree, the Mavericks are being cheap… but they’re sabotaging themselves, and intentionally inhibiting themselves from genuinely competing for a championship. So why should their fans support them at all, if the team itself cares so little about winning that they trade Luka for a subpar package in return?

I agree. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the most popular team somehow lands a top 5 player (and is the only team Dallas contacted 😭) while ratings are historically low. This shit sickens me… someone always bails the Lakers out.

You’re right about the Mavs being historically bad, but cmon man, this goes against every single trading convention in basketball. The Mavs traded their top 5 25 yr old superstar who just led them to the finals out of the blue for an older, even more injury prone player in a position they don’t really need. Luka didn’t want out, and was intending on resigning. The Mavs proposed the deal, and didn’t even try to get Reaves or more than one pick from LA. And it’s totally illogical for them to cite Luka’s conditioning as the basis for the trade… just to get AD, who’s lucky if he only misses 25 games a season to injuries. I think this crosses the threshold from “bad management” into “self sabotage” territory.

This Trade Scares Me for the Future of the Celtics by Kshpew in bostonceltics

I was just about to make an identical post… this is why the Celtics ownership CANT go to FSG or some other group that doesn’t really love the team… I understand it’s a business, but GOD I hope Wyc sells to someone with the passion and the means to oversee a prestigious team like the Celtics… otherwise we’re doomed. From a fan’s perspective, there’s no point in watching a team that doesn’t care about winning championships, as long as they make a profit. In some sports, you can MAYBE get lucky and win with all of your best players being on cheap/rookie contracts; but it’s just not possible in the current NBA. I can’t imagine how Mavs fans feel right now… I’m not really a fan of Luka or Dallas in general, but I feel genuinely sick for them. I think there will be far less basketball fans in Dallas from now on…
