The Mavs don't have a center anywhere near Kessler. I'm sure lively would be better if he was on a different team in a different system and actually played games, but Luka has been begging for an A-list center for years and the Mavs never gave him one. Maybe he'll go there for a farewell tour but keep dreaming
@WITNESSKJ LeBron is irrelevant because he'll be done in a year. So you think Rui, kennard, and smart are better than Kessler, grimes, sexton, and Mamu? I'd trade Rui, kennard and smart for just Kessler. The other 3 are just a bonus
LeBron fans are funny. I'll help you out. Do you think it's a good idea for the Lakers to tell Rich Paul "hey Rich we don't want LeBron on our team your agency is toxic and causes unnecessary drama" or do you think they should keep a good relationship with the biggest agency in sports and say "hey Rich we'd love to have LeBron back! He's one of the greatest athletes of all time we're much better with him!" I'm assuming you're not a complete idiot and understand they had to say they want him back no matter whether they did or not
For any other center I'd be pissed. But because of the fact Walker Kessler is the perfect center for Luka and this team on our timeline I don't hate the fact we got him. Did we get fleeced? You're damn right we did. Do we have the center that just ended the "project 2028" dumbass narrative? You're damn right we do βοΈ
You gotta appreciate LeBron for 2020 but LA bent over backwards for him. They traded for Russ, signed all his clutch guys he wanted, and even drafted his son. Now that Luka's here he got upset they're focusing on the future. I respect anyone chasing happiness, but instead of playing the victim you should own your role π
@Lewst77@sportingroars So your claim is LeBron didn't want Westbrook because he can't shoot 3s but he wanted derozan because he's a great 3 point shooter? Bron fans are so smart π
@The_Cxge@Jokeeee_ Again we aren't going to rebuild. My response to him was if we have to trade Luka we're trading for a win now roster, not a rebuilding roster. This is the lakers they're held to a higher standard than 98% of the league
@JDawgu7zf@NationMffl So Devin booker and Demarcus Cousins are bad players in your opinion because they were stuck in the lottery on bad teams too? Cousins never made the playoffs in Sacramento or New Orleans and Booker never made the playoffs until he got CP3. I disagree but ok π€¦ββοΈ
@The_Cxge@Jokeeee_ He said we're trading Luka to rebuild insinuating it would just be for picks and expirings. If we traded Luka we would be trading him for an all star, young player, and picks. The Lakers aren't Dallas π
