I’ve said it in other threads, he’s the worst defensive center in the league by a wide margin.

that's a scary injury there. The calf strain comes first a lot of the times, followed by that achilies tear at some point in the future.

He might need to play PF if that’s the case, stick him next to Missi. Profit?

Sochan is a really good young player. He’s got Herb type ability. Need that type of player beside Wemby.

Philly is the only team dealing with anything remotely similar to what we are. PG13 and Embiid have been out, and now they lose Maxey.

I think we’re still worse off. PG is back and Embiid will be back on Tuesday.

I'm starting to believe teams are trying to tank for Flagg using some of these non-surgical injuries (soft tissue, knee, ankle, foot, etc)

OKC owns the Philly pick (top 6 protected). Along with Clippers pick swap unprotected

They're trying to stave off a trade request from Giannis by appearing to try to improve.

They have nothing to trade but Lillard, and no one wants his contract with his age.

I could see someone wanting Pat C, but what could they realistically get for him? I have no clue

They could trade Lillard to the Heat for Rozier, Duncan, Jaquez, 28 1st.

The Magic could offer Cole Anthony, Isaac, and several 1sts for Lillard, while also getting the Bucks out of the 2nd apron. Heat can't offer that to the Bucks, getting them out of the 2nd apron.


Rockets could send Jalen Green, Brooks, Steven Adams for Lillard

Doncic is the biggest whiner in NBA history. Major talent but he must have taken flopping lessons from European soccer teams. He really gives the sport a bad rep as he spends most of every game whining to refs.

Check out this flop last night.

Yeah what a whiner lol. Trade him to the pelicans. The guy only plays every game, balls out at a MVP level and is one the league’s best players. I would trade every player we have for that whiner in a heartbeat.

The non Mavs basketball world hates him for whining about every play. Even Mavs fans are tired of it. It takes away from his abilities and is hard to watch. Always starts season out of shape. He could be so much better if he stopped the constant whining and flopping just became a good teammate. It costs them points as he doesn’t get back to defend when he lags back to complain to refs.

He literally is a MVP candidate almost every year and took them to the NBA Finals. All great players complain about calls. Im pretty sure Mavs fans are fine with Luka.
