RE: MAVS NEWS: Luka 23-24 Scoring Champ! | DLive's Mom Passes Away - SleepingHero - 04-18-2024 https://twitter.com/Coopz___/status/1780789908044423566 PJ was in the gym late last night working on his 3s. Posted by his wife to instagram. RE: MAVS NEWS: Luka 23-24 Scoring Champ! | DLive's Mom Passes Away - RasheedsBigWhiteSpot - 04-18-2024 I'm calling it here first: Lebron will be a Mav next season. I this move will have Nico's fingerprints all over it. I think Lebron wants his last seasons to play out exactly like he wants: -- On a contender -- Playing with friends (Kyrie and others) -- And, of course, with his son. To do this, I think he opts out and signs for the MLE. Bronny will have to be WAAAAY OVERDRAFTED. The Mavs will have to use their three available 2nds to move up to the top of the 2nd round and get him. GROSS!! Look, I'm not sure how I feel about this. For much of his career, especially post- The Decision I've HATED him. . BUT, he would make this team unbeatable as a third star. I think the Mavs move THJ, Hardy and Green and open spots for Lebron jock sniffers and ring chasers.

Yuck. Do not want. Well, unless he's coming on a muchly reduced salary to be Luka's backup at Point-Forward. Wouldn't it be better for Lebron to try and take over Julius Randle's starting PF spot on the Knicks? That might be a better fit for him. - Brunson, Donte/Hart, Anunoby, Lebron, Hartenstein/Robinson.

Arguing about basketball is just what we do. You and I are on the same page on many things, so don't take offense if I pick one item where I think you're crazy. You are a funny dude and fun internet friend. I’m cool with getting beat up. Here’s some more fodder: Jokic will not look like an MVP in the playoffs.

Is it because some people don't want to see 2 players of original European descent being the Top 2 players in the NBA? I'm a huge Luka fan and I think he's had an amazing season. Your statistics demonstrate that Luka has had a better season offensively. However, that's only half the game. SGA has become an elite defensive player. His DPM is among the top guards in the NBA. Luka is at best an average defensive player. SGA has been better this season overall than Luka. The MVP race this season should be: 1. Jokic 2. SGA 3. Luka 4. Giannis After that, it's a long and mostly pointless debate.

Here's my unrealistic hope: Jokic looks like an in the lab created monster spawned from the DNA of Jordan, Bird, Magic, Kareem, Wilt and Russel for three rounds of the 2024 NBA playoffs... And then Luka and the Mavs roll in and make him look like Kwame Brown during a 4-game sweep (so they can get a little rest before facing Rick and the Pacers in the finals).

Actually, I think we should make "I'm a huge Luka" a thing. I'm going to start saying that at work any time I just kill my task.

They did give it to another guy before he won three in a row - Embiid is the reigning MVP from last season. Then Jokic won his championship and now we‘ll win his third in four seasons.

I think Lebron wants his last seasons to play out exactly like he wants: Don‘t know about the twist with Bronny, but I wrote a couple of days ago that the LeBron of this season would be perfect for the Mavs of this season - sharp shooting, physical, able to excel in a great defensive system and still a great passer and rebounder. What needs to happen is the Lakers getting completely hammered by the Nuggets and us playing a good postseason.

It could also refer to someone at work who outperforms everyone else but also complains more than everyone else. Regardless, I'm glad we have Luka and I'd be Ok working with a few big Lukas personally. In fact, I hope to someday become a big Luka. RE: MAVS NEWS: Luka 23-24 Scoring Champ! | DLive's Mom Passes Away - The Jom - 04-18-2024 Luka was a huge Luka early last season.

Should have been a Mav the rest of his career after the championship. Give that man a $20M bonus. RE: MAVS NEWS: Luka 23-24 Scoring Champ! | DLive's Mom Passes Away - Chicagojk - 04-19-2024 Chandler deserves a lot of props, but I don't think he is the only one. The Mavs new assistant this year also has a lot of experience working with bigs. I think Kidd deserves credit too. In addition, having a teammate like Powell is also very valuable. Lastly, Luka may be the biggest reason for Lively. Lively just needs to do certain things right and he could fall into 8-10 points a game. It is harder than I making it seem (See WCS and McGee), but if you are mature beyond your years and have a good b-ball IQ, Luka can make your life really easy. |
