- Luka isn’t a guy who needs a ton of great players around him to win. He made the finals in Dallas with a bunch of lob threats and spot-up shooters. He’s a certain type of player to where his needs have to be met. That’s pretty much what he has now in LA.
That Mavericks team was Luka & Kyrie. The rest of the cast was,
P.J. Washington, Derek Lively, Derrick Jones Jr., Daniel Gafford, Josh Green, Jaden Hardy, Dante Exum & Tim Hardaway Jr.
All he needs is a killer as his Robin — that’s what he had in Dallas with Kyrie. The question is if Austin Reaves can prove to be a legit Robin now. He’s on the clock now — no excuses.
Just in: Free agent F/C Sandro Mamukelashvili has agreed to a four-year, $52 million deal to sign with Los Angeles Lakers, with a player option for the fourth season, sources tell ESPN. Big fully guaranteed deal for George Roussakis and Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports.
I miss the days where point guards took just as much pride in getting assist as shooting the ball. PG’s shooting almost every other time down, and THINKING score first, every time is NASTY hoop lol..
Nine-year NBA veteran Malik Beasley has been indicted on federal charges for gambling related to a sports betting scheme, such as point shaving and prop bets, his attorney Steve Haney tells ESPN. The government is coordinating a voluntary surrender of Beasley this week.

😳What is @KingJames talking about @SteveNash?? Young players are following him, DWade, Melo, KD, Kyrie & the current stars…They ALL have TRAINERS‼️
🤔WHY would the young players think to play “5 on 5 competitively” when they only see you guys training??
The Detroit Pistons have placed Isaiah Stewart on the trade block, per @sam_amick
“League sources say Detroit Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart is available. The Pistons, in search of additional shooting and playmakers, appear ready to rely on seventh-year big man Paul Reed in an increased role. Stewart has two years and a combined $30 million left on his deal (team option in the second season).”
