The Official 2024/5 NBA Week 18-20 Thread - Luka Doncic traded for Anthony Davis

[peternorth]

Discussion pertaining to the NBA mega trade involving Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis. The Mavericks going for a win now and need move with effectively no centres available on their roster.

Furthermore, with this move, the Mavs escape the supermax extension Donc was eligible for. Given President Trumps threats and introduction of tariffs, expectations of costs to be passed onto American consumers will lead to higher costs of living. The Mavs are fiscally wise.

An offensive spectacle in LA tonight

Given the relationship between the two teams, i can see how theyre both nervous and offensively are poor

lol LBJ is such a f****** drama queen. Gets tickled on the head and goes down like there’s a sniper in the top tier

 

[Memphis]

Lakers that was too easy for ball.

Heroic return from injury though after costing someone a spot in the ASG.

Time for some Luka magic

edit: nope. Deplorable loss for the Lakers.

 

[DT_35]

Lolkers

 

[Scythe94]

That was one of the strangest games I've seen in a minute lol

The trade for Luka has stuffed the Lakers. Everyone thought it'd be a boom for them, but the learned can see Dallas are closer to the top especially with AD.

There's always going to be that speculation over LeBron and Luka sharing the same ball.

Wemby out for the season.

Shouldn't be, Kyrie and Lebron worked well. Luka and Kyrie worked well.

The issue is not the fit of those two, it is filling out the rest of the roster. This was never a short term move for the Lakers, it was a long term one.

DVT not something you expect and. It just seems dudes that big aren't made for the NBA season.

 

[Borough Blood]

Philly getting cooked by Kornet. If that’s not a sign to shut the season down, I don’t know what is.

 

[srobbo]

You wont see Ja having many worse halves than that.

 

[DT_35]

Towns 2/15 at the half

 

[srobbo]

Give it to em C’s. Beat them down hard, you just love to see it.

 

[Nicho50]

Towns 2/15 at the half

Now 11/25

 

[Nicho50]

Towns 2/15 at the half

Jokic on track with 1/5 today to start.

 

[srobbo]

Giannis gotta be still injured surely on those minutes. 6/9 & he’s on the pine??

 

[Nicho50]

Clutch block by Bridges.

I know we have 3 starters out in OG, Hart and Robinson (if you count him) but we just don't play well against the Bulls at all.

 

[Memphis]

Loud and proud! Hearing that in the Wells Fargo centre is the cherry on top.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Embiid - 9 shots for 9 FTA
Jokic - 22 shots for 2 FTA

It's laughable.
