How to make LA Contender?

LAL: Center
XXX: 1st, Hachimura, Wood

I will yerry LAL - cooler place.

03 Feb 2025 21:16:55
I mean - yeah - Luca will be happy soon - y make it easy for him, to get ahead of Dallas and to enjoy to be a Laker. I mean, the greatest history - and in may point of view - immeditally a better team, have more asset and flexibility - when LAL make 1/ 2 good trade - at least a good Center. Imaging Mavs get Turner or Poeltl - or I would like Capela - he may cost only a 2nd.

LAL - Luca are winners - Mavs fans are loosers - intentionally ripped by this GM, that takes himself so important - he wants to establish a culture - he has destroy a culture - at least the loyality and fan base - independent if the Mavs are the best team or if they did everything for the best business the last 10 years. Luca was bringing them back - why this as. hol. was not opportunistic at Kyrie? Send him to NOL for Murray and Jones and Mavs would have had a mucher better defense as they have now - and they would have still everything - what is unrepairable destroyed now. It becomes even more worse - every time when you think about it. What a bull. Image Davis or Kyrie get hurt - only for a half of a season? Mavs miss even the playoffs. I am done - Mavs done.

You'd rather give up Turner?

03 Feb 2025 17:55:44
Management doesn't want to gove him a New contract.

03 Feb 2025 20:56:40
Really can't picture Indy giving up Turner, a 1st, and a 2nd for a couple of role players.

03 Feb 2025 08:35:21
This Mavs GM ruined Mavs. Forever. It is such an opportunistic "try" with such high "risk" - Irving, Thompson, Davis - all have health issues - never play more than 60 games - y have this and may 1 or 2 years to win "one" ring and rebuild - without a lot pics. But first of all "Mavs base" and culture is dead. That Move is so uggly, like if you would have trade Nowitzki out at 2012, because he was older and not good at defense.

Mavs was always an underdog. To see a underdog grow and win it fantastic. Now it is business. Exchangeable - Mavs and all players are exchangeable - it does not matter if you play at Mavs - you could play at any other 29 cities - no difference - no CULTER - no Mavs anymore. One of 30 teams.

Tradeprosal:

LAL: GM Harrison, 2x2nd
DAL: Cash consideration

Thks guys, best.

I like this trade for Dallas
I think the A Davis-Irving combo is great, both are going to improve (Without LBJ and Doncic) and they have a well balanced team.

Dallas is smart not giving Luka a max contract. He's looking overweight and had some injuries. He could become the next Zion. That would ruin the franchise too. I hope this is a wake up call for him. He's a great player, but he needs to take better care of his body.

03 Feb 2025 12:55:30
Gasupo watch Luka kill it in LA, he can be more motivated than ever.

03 Feb 2025 14:04:25
Damn. That’s your best trade proposal I’ve seen you do.

03 Feb 2025 18:08:14
Even Cuban is confused. the culture he has build is gone.

That trade is evan childy as arrogant - to show who is in charge - to damage the Dallas Mavericks I liked a lot. No guys this chat and yours - like the Mavs - I am gone.

03 Feb 2025 20:57:57
No excuse for such a horrible trade by Dallas. 20 teams would have given more.

04 Feb 2025 01:26:31
I feel sorry for Dalcon, that trade was reckless. The only way this trade makes any sense is if Doncic has a serious injury.

03 Feb 2025 03:38:17
GS: LBJ, Knect and Bronny

LAL gets Kuminga, Wiggins, Heild and a future 1st.

03 Feb 2025 09:52:28
I wouldn't be surprised.

03 Feb 2025 02:29:40
Since nothing is impossible now:

HOU/GS/ORL

HOU get Stephen Curry, Lindy Waters

Pg Curry
Sg Green
Sf Brooks
Pf Thompson
Ce Sengun

GS get Jabari Smith Jr, KCP, Mo Wagner (waive), Gary Harris, 4 1sts from HOU, 2 pick swap from HOU, 1st round pick from ORL

Pg Schroder
Sg KCP
Sf Wiggins
Pf Kuminga/Green
Ce Smith Jr

ORL get Fred VanVleet & Buddy Hield

Pg VanVleet
Sg Suggs
Sf Wagner
Pf Banchero
Xe Carter Jr

03 Feb 2025 09:20:34
That would be a great destination for Curry.

02 Feb 2025 23:19:23
MAVS get Colin Sexton
GRIZZLIES get Daniel Gafford
JAZZ get 2025 1st pick (via Grizzlies), Brandon Clarke, Dante Exum

Mavs need another ball handler, give Gafford since they now have logjam at center
Grizzlies need upgrade at center
Jazz keep collecting picks. Could ask for Mavs 2025 pick, than Grizzlies pick goes to Mavs.

03 Feb 2025 01:00:34
Not sure that Gafford is a 1st better than Clarke.

03 Feb 2025 09:21:06
Gafford is bigger and stronger than Clarke, also better rim protector. Clarke will have problems containing Jokić, Davis, Sengun, Zubac, Gobert, Hartenstein, Holmgren, Wembanyama, Sabonis in the playoffs. He is too small and light for any of them. Edey cannot play heavy minutes right now, doubt he ever will. Grizzlies have a lot of dept, they are not going to miss one late first round pick.

02 Feb 2025 21:36:13
Since Bulls offer Coby White Mavs MUST go for him, having more cap space availabel.

Not sure if you should trade a generational player, also if his defense or health issues - train him not trade him.

But at least, take a little Luce in White to have another young guard that can create - when Kyrie is hurt.

BUL Exum, Powerll, 1st, 2nd
DAL Coby White

03 Feb 2025 03:30:51
Mavs don't fleece other teams, they get fleeced.

03 Feb 2025 03:35:09
Make it Hardy instead of Exum and that's a good deal.

03 Feb 2025 08:30:11
Y may asked to add Hardy - moneywise. But ok, take out the 2nd and ask Bulls to send back a second if you add Hardy - fair enough - if Bulls want him, he will get 6m next season is a great guy - if he shows flashed - but it can do it for now only every 5th game - unfortunatelly.

02 Feb 2025 14:36:26
Los Angeles Lakers / Chicago Bulls

Los Angeles Lakers: Nikola Vucević, Jevon Carter.

Chicago Bulls: Gabe Vicent, Dalton Knecht, Maxi Kleber, 1rnd pick

02 Feb 2025 19:39:00
Take out Knecht or the first, and it's probably still too much.

02 Feb 2025 20:04:19
Overvaluing Vooch much? No wag i give Dalton for him.

04 Feb 2025 13:16:28
19/ 10 plus a shooting big is more valuable to lakers than any rookie in their roster.

02 Feb 2025 14:30:22
Miami Heat / Sacramento Kings

Miami Heat: De'Arron Fox, Kevin Huerter, DeMar DeRozan.

Sacramento Kings: Terry Rozier III, Jimmy Butler, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Alec Burks.

02 Feb 2025 11:35:37
Pacers: LBJ+ Bronny
Lakers: M Turner+Toppin+Nesmith+1rnd pick Indy 27

Pacers:
C:Bryant
PF:Siakam
SF:LBJ
SG:Nembhard
PG:Haliburton
Sixth: Mathurin

Lakers:
C:Turner
PF:Toppin/Finley
SF:Kneght/ Nesmith
SG:Reaves
PG: Doncic

02 Feb 2025 03:18:15
Cavs get: De'Andre Hunter
Hawks get: Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and two 2nds ('25 Bucks, '27 Nuggets)
Pistons get: Vít Krejčí

Why?
Cavs add a tall wing, and we duck the tax.
Hawks get cap relief and a few seconds.
Pistons add another shooter on a great contract.

02 Feb 2025 18:58:08
Can’t see this happening. You are offering two players that are substantially below the talent level from the Hawk’s you are getting in return. They cost about the same this year and could then leave. So it’s really just a salary dump for Cleveland. Lastly, the two draft picks are of little value since both will likely be near the end of the second round.
