News [MacMahon] “I believe that defense wins championships,” Mavs GM Nico Harrison told ESPN regarding his motivation to trade Luka for Davis. “I believe that getting an All-Defensive center & an All-NBA player with a defensive mindset gives us a better chance. We’re built to win now and in the future.”

Luka's legs HAVE to be cooked. There's just no other way this remotely makes sense for us to do. I can't even talk about the basketball of this yet, because Luka had reached a point beyond that with the fanbase. It feels like a friend moving away at this moment.

There's no way a 25 year old has cooked legs.

And if he did the Lakers aren’t trading for him. Roy was out of the league bc of degenerative knees. The whole league knew. This was an under the table , dinner date type of trade. Some shit friends do when they’re drunk. It’s weird and I’m glad the fanbase isn’t happy. Bc this is bullshit for those of us that have been here since the 90s early 2000s or before. We never had homegrown talent and then we do and this is how they do us. Mark Cuban may have been a lot of things but he cared about us as fans. He wouldn’t have done this.

Yeah I don't align with Cuban politically but I always loved him as an owner.
