Official Gramps' Memorial Eternal OT Thread

I can only raise heck now, can’t stay up late enough to raise hell.
And the hangovers hurt more than they used to
And corn bread and ice teas took the place of pills and 90-proof
And it seems like none of us do things quite like we used to do
And nobody wants to get high on the town
And all my rowdy friends have settled down
 
Come on man, I didn't want to stoop to this just for a job on your boat but I'll even wear my g-string while swabbing the deck.

The idiots occupying the front office at the Dallas Mavericks have no peer across any sport right now. Not even the Dallas Cowboys. Holy hell what an amazingly stupid trade. Quite possibly the worst trade in sports history.

Good Lord who said that?! The trade is being universally lambasted as possibly (probably) the worst trade in the history of all professional sports.

I know this one will shock you to your core. It was the best talent evaluator in all of sports.

They just landed the best two way big in the league alongside Giannis and Wembanyama. Add to that Kyrie and their decent supporting cast of role players and they are definitely a championship contender. I could easily see them coming out of the West.

Don't let the LeBron media propaganda fool you. AD has been a top 5 player in this league for close to a decade and was the major reason the Lakers won the title in 2020. Him and Kyrie fit like a glove and instantly become one of the best duos in the NBA.
 
Wow the Lakers just became the best team in the NBA

LOL. I love how little you know about basketball. They took a huge step back. AD was the key to their defense. Now they traded away their best defensive big for a non-defense ball dominant point forward. Which makes no sense since they already have someone just like that in LeBron.

This is why basketball is about more than stats. Defense matters and so does fit. Two ball dominant point forwards who play zero defense are not better than one of them with a two-way dominant big like AD.

Mavs are the ones who actually improved immensely with this trade. Kyrie and AD are now arguably the best duo in the league based on talent and fit.

I promise this is tongue in cheek politics, but is Nikola Jokic the greatest DEI hire is history? Luka's up there, too.
Oh we had a much better DEI hire before Luka with Dirk Nowitzki. He is immortalized with a statue outside of AA Center along with Mike Modano (NHL). Luka was on his way to his own statue before this idiotic trade.

ND40, I know that Cuban sold his majority stake in the Mavs, but I believe that I remember reading that he was still running their basketball operations. Was this his call, or did someone else make this move?

Nope he was not involved at all. He does not participate at all in day to day operations anymore he is just their richest groupie with permanent court side seats. This was all Nico Harrison. And I’m waiting to see if the fallout gets him fired. This trade is getting absolutely hammered by every sports writer in this market.
 
I have a raunchy McDad video if anyone wants a copy…please note due to high volume demand responses may be slow.

dangit. pj moved it and now no context..now I look like a perv.
