JJ Redick has done a horrible coaching job this series

To be honest...his team pretty much sux...when your best option at the 5 is Jaxson Hayes...& you can't even let him get on the court...plus Luka can't guard ANYBODY. I'm still not sure the Mavs didn't get the best of the Luka/AD trade...despite what most others think.

You can argue that the Mavs got off of overpaying for Luka because they didn’t have to extend him but the paltry return they got for sending him to LA makes it very unlikely they “win” this trade.

Not sure either team...Lakers or Wolves...deserve to win this game. Horrible shooting...I'd guess the winner will depend on just how many free throws Luka can shoot...down the stretch.

Maybe the internets crowd will calm down about the Luka trade. There was a reason why Dallas ownership didn’t want to pay him that supermax.

Yep...overrated for sure. And now the question is...does LeBron want to play another year with Luka & this sorry squad? Imagine this Laker team next season...if LeBron decides to not take his player option...and instead... "takes his talent"...elsewhere

For sure, not sure Lakers want to pay him the 54M or so he’d make along with Luka’s near 50M. Another Phx situation brewing.

Watching Nuggets vs Thunder...it's pretty obvious that Porter, Jr doesn't have much of a future...with the Nuggets. They've been trying to get rid of him for quite a while now.

EDIT: WOW...what a finish. Thunder had NO business...losing that game.

Pretty telling they went with Brodie down the stretch. Porter can for sure get hot for stretches, but NBA is getting back to two way players.

Kudos to CJ and the new CBA. The cap tightening is eliminating all of the foolishness that had been going on the last decade or so where players were getting maxed like cups of Kool-Aid. Two-way play, availability, and being coachable are now factors in getting the bag.

Porter looked completely disinterested last night. He was unplayable. Great game, btw.
