In less than a week, they paired Luka with the best center he's played with in his career. Very kind of Nico to leave assets behind to help Rob Pelinka make that happen!mavsfan4ever said:
Lakers are able to trade for mark Williams with the assets that Nico left on the table. Huge pickup for them.
ETA: they fleeced Charlotte too. Maybe the NBA really does just feed talent to LA.
Lakers winning it all this year would be just perfect.
Come on man y'all are just being ridiculous now. Lively is way better than Williams, and Gafford just completely ate Williams' lunch in Charlotte a couple weeks ago. Also Mark Williams has been hurt in his first 3 years more than AD was in the 3 years that got him the nickname "Street Clothes," his 9th, 10th, and 11th years in the NBA. At least have consistency.Zachary Klement said:In less than a week, they paired Luka with the best center he's played with in his career.

Williams is a good player but the hyperbole and histrionics have reached critical levels...
He is talented but he has only played in 83 out of 212 possible games including fewer than half the games this year. I think Charlotte probably ends up the winner here. He can't stay on the court, I don't know how you rely on him for the playoffs.Zachary Klement said:In less than a week, they paired Luka with the best center he's played with in his career.

I mean if there is one dude in the league that can show Luka how to take care of your body for longevity, its LeBron.1876er said:
He's gonna show up to Dallas at 220 looking like 25 year old LeBron.
Yep. Notice how LAL didn't send any of their backup bigs. Who aren't even that good, but they know they will need to have bodies.Guitarsoup said:He is talented but he has only played in 83 out of 212 possible games including fewer than half the games this year.

was listening to the rusillo pod earlier and they brought up a funny point...nico must have played this insanely close to the vest, because you'd like to think that a family member or friend would be like "bro, I care about you way too much to let you do this..." Just like if one of your buddies was about to propose to a bat**** crazy terrible chick, you'd like to think that your boys would give an 11th hour intervention.
The Sixers are now sending an additional 2030 second-round pick to Dallas as an amended aspect of Philadelphia's trade earlier this week to send Caleb Martin to the Mavericks, league sources tell @TheSteinLine.

I think they felt bad for us
nico about to reopen his social media comments and tell us all he told us so
Did the league just feel bad and so made Philly give us an extra pick?
Did he turn off comments? What a putzzgolfz85 said:

Stein making it sound like his injury is worse than the Mavs originally thought (or at least he'll be out longer than they anticipated) so the Sixers are sending the 2nd as compensation for that:
Caleb Martin has been sidelined with a recent hip injury and was said to be nearing a return for the Sixers, but after consultation between both teams and the league office, Philadelphia has agreed to send an additional second-rounder to Dallas, league sources tell @TheSteinLine. https://t.co/etBvwqd9ML

I feel about the same as I felt when I learned that Roy Tarpley was an unfixable coke head. Hope the next 10 years don't repeat.

yeah like before the news dropped....then the mavs had to limit comments as well, but well after they'd been inundatedGoldie Wilson said:Did he turn off comments? What a putzzgolfz85 said:

*****Nico.
Philly had upgraded Martin to Questionable right before the Mavs game. Wonder of the league viewed that as deceiving.
Sounds like the timeline is more weeks than months though. The team needs the all star break really badly.

It's Daryl Morey
Of course it was nefarious
All will be forgiven on the Martin front when this additional second-rounder is what puts Nico's offer for KD over the top in the next hour. Now that the top 2 bidders are out of the race, I feel better about our chances.
Man, if we can get KD and keep Kyrie and AD then we'd have to be the favorites to win the 2018 NBA Championship and dominate the league for another 5 years

I really hope we don't give up Lively for KD or some other "win now" piece.
Surprised a small move wasn't even made. Jaden Hardy played no minutes against Philly in a game where the Mavs were having a hard time scoring. That usually means a deal is imminent. Maybe Exum has just completely supplanted him.
Sounds like Phoenix is going to have a complete fire sale in the summer. Hopefully Tyus Jones will sign for another minimum.
AD expected to make debut on Saturday. Good move to hold him out tonight.
Hold out anybody else who may need to rest/recover from anything. Let Christie/Exum/OMax get tons of playing time tonight.

Do we make the playoffs? Whats our final record?
38-44 is my guess
38-44 is my guess
45-37
The Mavs are optimistic that F Caleb Martin will return from his hip injury in 2-3 weeks, sources said.

As @TheSteinLine reported, the terms of the trade with the Sixers were amended after Martin’s physical to add a 2030 second-round pick to Dallas’ return for Quentin Grimes…
Not a super long time for Martin
I was joking about the being better than Lively part, but he is still pretty good.shack009 said:Come on man y'all are just being ridiculous now.

You do have to wonder if some of his prolonged periods of missed time are related to being on a team that has been in the lottery the last few years, so they have never been rushing him to get back on the court.
I will have to see how I feel about watching this team. I almost think I'm going to root against them, with hopes that Nico gets physically assaulted trying to leave AAC after a blowout loss to Houston.shack009 said:
