Luka to LA

[LBoogie28]

What’s possibly worse than the deal itself, is how it was executed. Will have cascading effects with current players, as well as future acquisitions.

Will be at the game in April when Luka returns…hoping he goes off for 80.

“Big”?

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Bulls unloaded LeVine. Let the tanking begin. D Fox leaving Kings for San Antonio

“Big”?

D Fox is a stud.

 

[NDallasRuss]

Word has it Luka had gotten up to almost 270# and the Mavs were wary of giving him a supermax deal with his weight, conditioning, and injury issues.

Sounds like the current owners and gm didn't consult with anyone - including J Kidd - before doing it.

 

[TennNole17]

D Fox is a stud.

Not a “household” name, is all I meant to imply. Proximity to the Luka headline, makes it less impactful- RE “big”

The Bulls are so screwed up. Too late to tank for this year, AK has done nothing to earn the trust of fans that he can clean up his own mess. Ball should be the next to go, then Vucevic and Coby.

The world is going to hell !!! My Crown Royal just became more expensive....thanks Trumpy....the Mavs trade Luka.....and Abbott is still an idiot...setting aside a billion dollars for the Texas Pooors ( if you make $120,000, you are considered poor) so jr. can go to private school....and I'm sure theres more....I think Jerry Jones was the puppeteer on Luka...that way the media focuses on the Mavs and not how horribly he has constructed the Cowboys.....Thanks Jerry

Agreed. We don't get many Kings games on out here. But I think have averages over 25 points, 6, 5, 1 and 1.5 steals per game

Sounds like there are several teams interested. Dump him for draft picks or young talent. I know Golden State is a real possibility for V

I remember the Bulls in being in such a hurry to mov past Jordan so Krause could show everybody how smart he was. They never recovered.

They could have had another year or two of Jordan, pissed it away.

Yeah, Krause can eat my shit if that POS is still alive

He is not with us anymore.

Well guarantee some Bulls fan has pissed on his grave.

NBA/Bulls was must watch TV back in those times. Hell, my wife watched it back in those days.

Neither of us watch it now. I follow the stories of the NBA but I don’t sit down to watch it anymore.

Anthony Davis has really turned things around these past few years, but he’s 31 and they’re pairing him with an even older Kyrie.

All the Lakers need to do now is get a good defender and rebounder and they can make the playoffs while limiting LeBron’s minutes. They’d be able to make a run this year.

The Lakers also probably extended LeBron's time in LA, and if Luka takes to LeBron's conditioning program they might have locked in the next generational talent for the Lake Show.

As I understand this they just traded away their best player in order to recover their own draft pick. They have traded away LaVine, DeRozan and Caruso and have nothing to show for it.
AK is f***ing awful at his job.

The trade also prevents Luka from getting a super max deal. They won’t have to pay him like a top 20 player.

 

[win1forthe]

Yes, AK is awful. Heard that he is very hard to deal with when it comes to trade talks. And yet, he continually screws almost every trade up.

 

[lucas80]

No, but as I understand it nobody can. So, does he want to be the next King of LA, or ply the open market? He'd do alright in LA contract wise, and marketing opportunities.

From the time I was in elementary school through high school, I could watch 70% of the Bulls games between WGN and other networks. It was awesome.

Now, unless I want to buy NBA ticket I see maybe a few games per year. A once glorious franchise that now is too embarrassed to be shown outside of their fair city.

Floyd, joke. Hoiberg joke. Actually liked a couple of others, yet they shitcanned them so the organization would not have to accept the blame.

Reinsdorf is easily one of the worst professional sports owners. Greed.

John Fisher who owns the Oakland A's, and Shad Khan in Jacksonville come to mind as his competition.

Yeah, the only difference is that Chicago is an easily place to win. Those two are destinations nobody wants play at.
