@bobbyj828 @Tmitty13 @roadto80pct Or there's maybe a simpler explanation, MJ's gap between him and his competition at the time was larger, than Bron's gap between him and his competition. Now i ain't saying MJ didn't play against the Kobes, Duncans, Durants, Stephs etc, but something to think about
@YetiMoose@Mavs_FFL Very good take. He might be in that caliber of players a few years from now. His best comp is Mikal Bridges, and that is considered fringe all-star guys (might be an all-star once or twice if everything breaks right that season)
@la_cryptic@LakeShowYo Yeah, cool, i'd have included the second 1st rd pick, DK and a 2nd to keep Christie. This dude 21 and on a BARGAIN of a contract, plus is a perfect compliment player to any star. AND has upside
@Lakersided310@BronGotGame Was never an option brother... Luka required real assets, Max was worth close to 2 1st's honestly, and now it's showing why. He 21 still as well
@AzZDoG@awfulannouncing I mean... NBA on TNT are not analysts, they're entertainers (kind of like clowns at a circus). Their job is to get clicks and views and discussions going, and they're doing their job well. Nobody should ever take serious what they actually say, that's not their job
@AJRazim@awfulannouncing Are they better? The record says otherwise... I think they're about the same level personally, even tho the Lakers are 5 games ahead of the Mavs
@SaborenSonido@awfulannouncing I mean people say that, but the Lakers currently are 30-19 and the Mavs 27-25... I'm not saying Lakers are better, but IMO they are pretty much on the same level and one team now has Luka
@SudlaSteel@Speedx77@_SCOTTishcheese@Klutch_23 To be honest, if the deal was either 2 1st's and DK or 1 1st and Max, ya got it fam, take them picks, we good. Vando, Max, DFS, Gabe and Bron (when he wants to) is a solid enough defence IMO plus AR picks up his effort
@SudlaSteel@Speedx77@_SCOTTishcheese@Klutch_23 Max was a constant. DK is older by more than 2 years, is unplayable in the playoffs because of defence, is currently shooting worse than Max, but sure, try to convince people he's a more valuable trade chip lool
@CookedByLane He's a younger Mikal Bridges. And he got traded for 5 1sts and a swap. Next year Max will be as old as Mikal was in his rookie season, let that sink in
@Klutch_23 People really missing the point that this is a younger Mikal Bridges. Next season he'll be as old as Mikal was in his rookie season. And Mikal was traded for 5 1st picks and a swap
@BigSpeakerr@Klutch_23 Why would they take DK if they have a significantly better version of him in Klay? What they don't have is a Max (young Mikal Bridges)
@doobiedobz@Klutch_23 Max has great value, DK doesn't. Max is and projects to be a better player than DK. You can't pay for Luka with good intentions and wishes. I know it hurts
@Skeez8949@Klutch_23 DK is not as good and does not project to be as good as Max, i'm sorry. Max is looking like Mikal, the same guy that was dealt for 5 1st round picks AND a swap. Max is still younger than Mikal was in his first season, think about that
@_SCOTTishcheese@Klutch_23 Max is significantly better than Dalton. We're getting Luka, we had to pay something. We all hate it, but we can't pay for Luka with good wishes and imagination. Plus they already have a significantly better Dalton in Klay
@CallMe_Kratos People really out here thinking Jokic not one of the best conditioned players in the league lol You think playing at altitude, putting up those numbers, having that crazy usage is easy?
