TRADE: Luka Doncic to Lakers, Anthony Davis to Mavericks

[QUOTE=GOBB;14974502]131 carries for 468 yards (3.5ypc ewwww) 7 touchdowns in his career for Tomlinson

66 carries 241yds 1td 3.7ypc in playoffs for Jim Brown. Your 2nd best rb of all time.

You disappeared so fast supporting this. Great time. Heard they named a hill after you from dying on it so much[/QUOTE]

LT at his peak and healthy ripped up the Patriots in the playoffs, had 2 touchdowns in that game alone, better than anything Barry did in the Playoffs.

Btw, you do know back in Jim Brown's day there was no playoffs right? The two best teams with the best record just met in the championship once the regular season was over. And in his championship game in 1964 where they won, he led all players in scrimmage yards.

Barry's only touchdown in his playoff career came late in the 4th quarter when the game was already over. Had one playoff game where he rushed for -1 yards. LOL

[QUOTE=GOBB;14974506]This coming from you? Hold my beer while I laugh uncontrollably.


No racism being showed on my end. Just selective reading by your as always. Luka was just traded for Anthony Davis. But me saying I think Luka for embiid is fair trade value? I’m racist. Got it.[/QUOTE]


Trying to make luka look like some average playoff performer indistinguishable from Embiid is absurdly moronic and one of the worst takes ever.

Scrimmage yards hahahaa professional moved ladies and gents. Shocked you said during the game he blocked great. Even better than both teams OL. Man you’re slipping bud.


Tomlinson 3.6ypc for a career in postseason. Shame.

[QUOTE=ArbitraryWater;14974505]Your inherent bias/racism is showing.[/QUOTE]

Dude said Brooks was better than Reaves last season, he has since tried to weasel his way out of that statement.

[QUOTE=ArbitraryWater;14974512]I tried to make it about race and you showed me the mirror. Good job[/QUOTE]

No problem.

Never once said it. Thread still exists. Pull it up and post. Should be easy.

Proving my point. Beta males protecting their pride. Just can’t own being wrong, being one upped, making errors. Hahahaha Fragile goods, handle with care

lol

[QUOTE=GOBB;14974476]The difference between me and you beta males here is I can admit being wrong, making an error etc and owning it. You on the other hand will spin like a figure skater because your pride won’t allow such a thing. I’ve seen me box you in a corner and you try to weasel your way out. Instead of owning you were got and be done with it. I lose absolutely nothing by leaving out Luka WC appearance. You dude are too fragile you’d argue around it.[/QUOTE]

Cringe post of the year right here. The lack of self-awareness is astounding. :lol

All you've done is argue braindead points across multiple sports and NEVER admit to being wrong. You're the prideful idiot you're describing.

Truer words have never been spoken.

No matter if its Nfl or Nba, everyone disagrees with just about everything gobb says.


Dude is having to fight wars on all fronts lmao.

Still can’t believe this trade actually happened. I actually don’t think the Mavs look that bad on paper tbh. I wonder if they’re looking to move Gaffoed or Lively before the deadline.

[QUOTE=GOBB;14974538]Yikes[/QUOTE]

Yikes indeed. Now you're acting like a 5 year old because your sports takes are atrocious and I call you out for not having a clue what you're talking about.

You could've admitted to being off-base, but instead doubled down on nonsense. Just thought it was hilariously ironic for you to try to concoct a narrative about yourself not having pride and having no problem admitting to being wrong when everybody knows the opposite is true. The last few pages is you throwing tantrums because your ego is bruised by people pointing out all the stupid shit you say. :roll:

Doubt it. AD wants to line up at the 4 and he'll do so next to both of those guys.

[QUOTE=Phoenix;14974557]Doubt it. AD wants to line up at the 4 and he'll do so next to both of those guys.[/QUOTE]

Yea, AD has stated for years he wants to go back to the 4. Mavs will try to make him happy.

AD complained about playing the 5 so that's very doubtful. They need both as insurance in case one gets hurt. Which seems to always happen.

[QUOTE=GOBB;14974556]Weird bud.[/QUOTE]

As fun as it is to shatter your ego and make you look like a dumbass on a personal level, I'd be happy to go back to the Luka/Embiid debate. although it looks like you've abandoned that out of shame and would rather play whatever low IQ, immature angle you're desperately clinging to here.

Luka was traded for Davis. Davis is not better than Embiid. Luka for Embiid is fair value straight up. I wouldn’t include another star player as mentioned n an earlier post. Hence why we are even here. You don’t have to agree. I don’t agree with your existence. But alas you’re here…

Yeah dummy, hence all the outrage over the trade. Nobody thinks it was fair value. And certainly nobody would think it's fair value if it was Embiid straight up for Luka. Not a single person... except you apparently.

You can disagree with not adding another star to the package while also still not thinking luke for embiid is fair value. They are not mutually exclusive opinions, so another irrelevant tangent.

So, now that it's obvious your opinion is stupid and invalid and not a single person agrees with you, when will you admit to being wrong and taking it on the chin like you claimed you have no problem doing?

[QUOTE=AlternativeAcc.;14974579]here I go baiting you into a “civil” convo but my true intentions were to throw an emotional tirade. It’s that time of the month and you are catching it. Blame the heavy flow. I win you lose? Admit it? Own it?[/QUOTE]

Seek therapy asap.

This shit is funny as hell. Keep going GOBB, dig that hole even deeper.

[QUOTE=Carbine;14974585]This shit is funny as hell. Keep going GOBB, dig that hole even deeper.[/QUOTE]

Nothing more funnier than watching you at the Lounge beg for approval. Wanting to fit in. And still getting rejected. I know that stung. A board where people are chill, shooting the shyt. Yanno lounging and vibing. And you still can’t get accepted there. lol What did they call you over there? Ahhhh yes Fagbine. I admit I felt bad. Like damn he’s trying guys lighten up. Now THAT is funny.

GOBB gets owned more than any poster here that I can think of. Self inflicted no less.

I wanna see the ramifications of this trade badly but sucks the abyss of the All Star Game is approaching with all that time off. Total waste of time and space.

Davis is a million times better than embeta wtf are you on about

Your way of having a civil convo is saying you disagree with my existence? But saying you have a stupid opinion is taking it too far and I need therapy?

[QUOTE=coin24;14974594]Davis is a million times better than embeta wtf are you on about[/QUOTE]

No he’s not. Embiid is better.

[QUOTE=coin24;14974594]Davis is a million times better than embeta wtf are you on about[/QUOTE]

No, lol. Davis is the same.

[QUOTE=ArbitraryWater;14974604]No, lol. Davis is the same.[/QUOTE]

ADs playoff numbers blow Embiids out the water. On paper they seem similar but that's not what played out in our shared reality.

Ehh.

It depends what you want/what the measure is.

As a guy you go through? Embiid is clearly the more skilled, more dominant player.

In terms of toughness in the paint? Lobs, offensive rebounds, finishing through contact etc AD *can* bring more of that than Embiid, altho he doesnt always actually do it.

Davis really doesnt have a ton of skill in the post. He's not a great shooter, not a great passer, his footwork is a bit clumsy. He really plays more like Drummond, but with average touch and some range, instead of poor touch and no range.

So it just depends whether you want a three level scorer or a bully in the paint. Thats basically the difference. Both elite defenders, both injury prone. It's probably gonna be contingent on what the rest of your team looks like. I dont think AD being *better* than Embiid when both healthy is a serious argument, but if you really like AD and want to lean on the subjective nature of it, you could argue he's roughly on Embiid's level in terms of impact in your opinion. I would take Embiid.

That said, I'm just talking basketball in a vacuum. When you talk about psychological fragility and how thats going to bode in the postseason long term, Embiid definitely loses some ground.

[QUOTE=Real Men Wear Green;14974500]If they couldn't make a deal they wouldn't want it to get out that they had offered Doncic. That's one of the benefits of doing a trade with a friendly front office,[/QUOTE]

The benefits are outweiged by ending up with devin harris, favors and kanter for your best player

Embiids game has fallen off in the playoffs way too many times while ADs has been extremely productive and efficient offensively with good to great defense. Why? Embiid seems to be more of a mental midget. The playoff numbers disparity is huge.

This is a perfect example of how the off the court stuff is way more entertaining than the actual games.

This sparks attention because of the soap opera drama weird speculation aspect.

The only thing keeping the NBA alive is this type of trade / free agent drama crap.

[QUOTE=StrongLurk;14974482]It is definitely odd that Nico went STRAIGHT to Pelinka to target AD. Nico knows both Pelinka and AD well. Definitely could be some level of collusion here.

OR, the Mavs this Luka will be a load managed, out of shape, injury proned player for the rest of his career and the Mavs don't want to pay a supermax for a player like this.

Just...wow.[/QUOTE]

I think the more likely scenario is that the Mavs realized Luka was probably walking and decided to trade early.

Mavs GM got played.

Apparently Pelinka & Nico first discussed the trade over coffee. Pelinka planted the seeds. Mavs GM even said the new owner laughed at him when he first told him about the trade idea.

Also seems like the Mavs traded with the Lakers because Nico knew Pelinka personally and he trusted him that none of this trade talk would be leaked to the media.

Seems like the NBA is rigged just like the American government.

What is Trumps opinion on this? Being that he is a smart businessman, why does he think Luka was traded for street clothes?

Because in reality Trumps opinion on things is what matters.

Or it just could’ve been rigged like everything in republic America.
