I’m all in on the theory of Lebron to Dallas
And here’s why:
Lakers are moving on from lebron because of his age
But can’t judge trade him because of how that looks
They need a new star (Luka)
Dallas has 2 of LeBron’s friends - and Klay - to be the structure for a comeptitor
All star suggestions:
Skills challenge - remove it
1v1 - include it
Dunk contest with defender - add it
Have non NBA guys in the dunk comp - absolutely
NBA and WNBA pet peeve:
Reporters starting a question with ‘im just curious…’
It doesn’t need to be added to a sentence
In fact, the only reason I suspect it’s added, is to demonstrate naivety and defuse a situation
Just realised what @KingRicochet’s laugh reminds me of…
Shy Ronnie
The more I review it, the more I think the warriors did great business securing butler
Again, a 2 year deal is risk free because you improve your team AND don’t get into Butler’s ‘danger zone’ with teams
The team lost Klay but basically added players AND butler
I also think KD wasn’t ever on the table
Phoenix allegedly didn’t want Miami’s butler and JRich trade offer because they spent so heavily to get KD initially
And even the GSW trade offer of butler and pieces was rejected
I don’t think phx were ever serious
I’m currently at the point in the Luka trade where, although I fully see the potential of AD & Ky, and even though I think they’ll make another big move in offseason…
…there’s nothing that will replace Luka being traded
A player of that caliber won’t be seen again in my life
Both golden state and Miami did well out of the deal:
Miami removes a player who didn’t want to be there and gained multiple assets to plug in to a winning team
GSW added an top tier talent on a short deal which will align with Curry’s career
Win-win
I’ll say it:
KD and Jimmy switching teams is the right move for both ball clubs
Jimmy has something that KD doesn’t - KD is arguably too similar to Booker
And KD on the Heat, under a Team USA coach, alongside bam and Tyler… 😮💨
If the aim of an nba team is to win a title, is the second best version of being the team that wins it all in a season, to be a team that gets to the finals and does it with a guy they drafted
Who also happens to be mid 20’s
And one of the best players on the planet
They just need that final piece - initially I thought they’d make a play for KD but they haven’t got enough to give up
But the lebron signing makes sense
He has a player option for next year
Has he already been briefed that this needs to be the move
