Damn…….

Sauce?

Westbrook stuck with Lakers….

[Wardell Curry]

I will reserve judgement until we see the product on the court but my gut says Kyrie has this pro black thing going on in a big way and I'm interested to see how that works with Luka.

Sauce?

Interesting trade. I wonder how long Luka will put up with Kyrie before he acts out like a child to get him shipped away.

Mavs didn't give up too much to get him and Nets got a quality return at least in the short term. Good trade for both teams.

Nets win BIG!!!

LUKA GETS HELP!


WOW!!!!!!

BLOCKBUSTER!!!!!

Mavs didn't give up too much to get him and Nets got a quality return at least in the short term. Good trade for both teams.

Agreed!

Solid trade for both teams!

I dont get the logic whatsoever, unless the Mavs are just using this to dump salary.

Kyrie:

1) Cant play defense
2) Needs the ball on offense
3) Terribly immature
4) Massively resents white people


So you pair him with a guy who:

1) Is white
2) Has the highest usage in the league
3) Is average at best defensively
4) Is also terribly immature


If the Mavs make the finals with this pairing I'll be the first to eat my words. But every shred of logic points to this being the dumbest possible pairing to put together.

That said, it's a great trade for the Nets. They get a decent haul that probably makes them better than they were with Kyrie.

And it's not a BAD trade for the Mavs. They're not gonna really miss what they gave up, Dinwiddie doesnt fit great with Luka and theyre crowded at DFS' position. So they shed some salary and get to see what happens with REEEEEE for a year.

But I'm personally not expecting it to actually work.

Irving won’t be able to co-exist with Luka. He’s too egotistical. Same reason he left LeBron.

[Wardell Curry]

But every shred of logic points to this being the dumbest possible pairing to put together.

Almost as bad a fit as LeBron and Westbrook.

I agree with your points.
