2025 NBA Season Thread aka Draymond's Annual Wealth Destruction Tour

Deep benches wouldn't matter as much. That's 40 fewer minutes to fill (2 rotation guys, essentially).

RE: the Booker snub....forgot about a potential revenge tour to close the season. Might be a good thing. 25 pt victory at GSW at the first stop. Book had 31 and 11. Curry had 14 and 3.

LUKA DONCIC JUST GOT TRADED TO THE LAKERS?!

WHAT THE **** IS HAPPENING

[zjcvols]

AYO THIS CANT BE REAL

 

[zjcvols]

I AM IN LITERAL SHAMBLES. WHAT THE **** JUST HAPPENED

 

[knoxvol52]

Lakers trade Anthony Davis to Mavericks for Luka Doncic.

 

[zjcvols]

I CANT STOP POSTING IN ALL CAPS WHAT…HOW

 

[zjcvols]

 

[zjcvols]

Doncic had to demand this trade right? This makes no sense why Dallas would this

 

[zjcvols]

And why the **** would you not put out feelers and have a bidding war? Wait LeBron and Luka are now on the same team?!?!?!

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

The Mavs got absolutely fleeced....

WHAT THE **** IS HAPPENING

This is so weird

This is so weird

This makes zero happening

I'm not even the biggest Luka fan but they got pennies on the dollar.

AD is almost 32 and other than last year played in 56, 40, 36, 62, and 56 games the prior 5 years....

 

[zjcvols]

Stein is as well connected to Dallas as anyone

 

[n_huffhines]

Crazy, but Luka's already 1.5 years away from FA. Seemed like he just extended. He must've told them he was leaving.

Even if that happened, why is there not a bidding war?

Exactly...

When was the last time a dude of this caliber in the middle of his prime got traded? Barkley?

I have not processed this. This is the biggest NBA “WHAT THE ****” trade since Harden to Houston

That was at least telegraphed. OKC wasnt paying the tax and Harden wasnt Harden then....

Luka and Lebron is quite an interesting pairing. Dallas threw away a lot. Terrible trade for them.
