The highlights are up of Forest’s 7-0 thrashing of Brighton and they are magical. I may cancel PornHub for the foreseeable future.
Edited highlights are perfect for this game as they eliminate the 60+ minutes Brighton spent wanking with the football, and focus on the good stuff. Like Dunk scoring a vital own goal, or Dunk getting absolutely rinsed for the 4th (I think).
I can’t believe this is real:
The Dallas Mavericks just traded Luka Doncic to the Lakers for Anthony Davis.
Wow that’s a shocker. Not sure that I would have traded Luka off. He’s only 25.
I’m not sure I’ve ever been more shocked by anything sports related than I am by this. It makes less than zero sense on any level whatsoever.
This is where I keep landing.
Time will tell if it’s the worst trade in history (a high bar) but it’s easily the most shocking, given how completely it was kept under wraps.
So much for the “Lebron runs the Lakers” narrative…he found out about the trade at postgame dinner with his family
Apparently, the Mavs had grown quite tired of dealing with Luka’s complete unwillingness to stay in shape
eta: since Luka was traded during the last year of his contract, he lost 120M on the max value of his next contract
eta2 via twitter: “Cowboys fans are surprisingly hyped that Luka Doncic is a Laker. They haven’t been this happy since the Yankees landed Juan Soto.”
He’s 25 and one of the best players in the league. You hire bodyguards to be his personal trainer, you put GLP-1 into his smoothies, you do anything for him but you don’t trade him for a bag of beans.
An injury-prone bag of beans.
And yet they were in the finals last year with him out of shape
I can somewhat understand being hesitant to pay him the supermax extension, but yes, what they got in return for him is ludicrous.
Right. If you decide you to have to trade him, fine, it’s still a dumb idea but whatever. Put him on the market. Tell the other 29 teams, “you have 48 hours to put together your best trade offer.” You don’t just call up the lakers and then not even get the most you can from them. If it came out that Nico Harrison was on a bender last night and drunkenly called the Lakers to make the deal, then it might start to make a little sense. Anything less than that and this is one of the worst “bad process” trades in history.
Exactly. You can’t tell me the Rockets wouldn’t give up Jalen Green, another of their good young players, and all of their horde of picks.
In the NBA, it’s very hard to come up with a trade package for a true top 5 player that feels like too much. At any given time there’s about 5, maybe 6 guys that can be the best player on a title winning team, Luka is absolutely one of those guys. You just don’t trade one of those guys unless you have no other option.
For the Rockets, Green, every pick you can trade, and even another young guy, still doesn’t feel like too much for Luka fucking Doncic
Wrong. They’re all Dodger fans now.
After thinking about it, Magic announcing he had HIV was definitely more shocking. Maybe Jordan’s first retirement as well.
Posted for no reason whatsoever.
ETA: Chris Richards had a stellar game. An absolute rock.
They must have had doubts he would do the super max.
Still …
Based on what is generally known, there is no good reason to trade Luka for that return. It might have something to do with sports betting and the corrupt and compromised NBA hierarchy…
