Giannis has a 25 point third quarter. On fire.

Good game to watch.

Luka Doncic traded to the Lakers for Davis amongst others


Probably the biggest trade in NBA history

I was watching college bb and they announced it. Immediately the co commentator asked for that to be verified as it sounded untrue.

I was googling inside a nanosecond.

Can not believe it.

What will Le Bron do?

Surely he will stay, son plays there and probably only has a season or two left
A decade franchise player for an injury prone soft option who’s 6 years older

I know who wins that trade.

In a way it was. Luka was eligible for super max contract ($345m) with Dallas at end of this year, and now after the trade he's not.
LAL taking a risk here with Luka. Prolific scorer when on, but can be a sook at times and also needs to keep his body right. Interesting watch.
I can see LAL trading out Bron and Bronny together, and completely rebuilding around Luka.

Read a couple times over the weekend that Dallas had concerns over Doncic's conditioning. He's hardly a chiseled athlete but I thought it was an nice clip on the way out.

Interesting to see how Street Clothes Davis goes with Kyrie. Neither play their best when they're the number one (despite what Kyrie will say).

Can’t see Bron letting him getting away with not being fit.

It keeps Dallas under the 2nd apron which saves a fortune in Tax. Obviously the Lakers look like clear winners for 2-3 years time, interested to see what both teams do this week before the deadline now though as both teams have expandable players with value

Jimmy Butler to GSW. Golden State is making it happen by moving Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson and draft compensation.

In only 8 years.

From SI

Schroder compared the lack of loyalty franchises have to their players to the reality that the NBA is a business similar to slavery.
“It’s like modern slavery,” Schroder said. It’s modern slavery at the end of the day. Everybody can decide where you’re going, even if you have a contract. Yeah, of course, we make a lot of money, and we can feed our families. But at the end of the day, if they say, ‘you’re not coming to work tomorrow, you’re going over there,’ they can decide that. They got to change that a little bit.”
The very next day, the Golden State Warriors traded him.

They have signed Alex Len. Not sure that fits the criteria though.
