If the Lakers don't pay Austin Reaves I hope Mark Cuban is watching with his cheque in hand. Those are the kind of guys you surround Luka with |

budaatum: They should have just stopped on lap 56. Truthfully speaking. Very interesting season ahead. Looks like the Aston Martin is competitive this year. Can't believe Alonso is 3rd on the standings. Can he steal a race? |

Roland17: Is it time to start asking if Luka is the problem? It is easy to hide behind Kyrie, front office, Cuban and coaching but all season I have been consistent about Luka’s issues and how it affects winning.
I don’t see how the Mavs win anything with Luka’s style and leadership. Is he talented? Absolutely! but there is more to talent and he lacks a lot of them. It is an unpopular take that many avoid and refuse to look at but it is time to critically examine Luka. Luka the problem ke? I wouldn't go that far. Fair or unfair the Kyrie trade has been for the worse not for the better. The team is 9-16. 9-16!! Can we confidently say if the team stood pat the Mavericks would be where they are now? In hindsight the decision not to pay Jalen Brunson has been pennywise and pound foolish. Now they're most likely going to have to overpay Kyrie just to not look like dumbasses for trading him to begin with. I agree Luka has to work on his abilities to play off the ball but when you have no perimeter defense or bigs that can rebound even at middling levels you have to ask what the GMs work is |
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 8:08am On Apr 04, 2023 |
Khanben: Thank you, as much as Kidd has done an underwhelming job. The front office in Dallas has been extremely poor, for at least a decade its not only in drafting, they have consistently offered to overpay or paid the wrong guys I've been complaining about the Mavs front office for a very very long time. Anyone that's been on this thread for a while knows this. They wasted most of Dirk's years surrounding him with mediocrity and now they are doing the same with Luka surrounding him with G-League Euroleague level players on the roster |

Roland17: AD posts another dominant 40/9 but of course, since it is not Ajala, it is all crickets! Una hypocrisy stinks to the highest. I can’t wait for the day he drops a bad performance and everyone and their mama go remember how he has been injured throughout since he was born!
I’d say this again, AD is the reason the Lakers will make the playoffs, not coach Hamm, not trades and definitely not Ajala. This is the life you sign up for when you carry your kaya to go and play with Lebron. If you like score 100points Anthony Davis ought to know that by now. It's what he chose when he moved to be the Robin at the peak of his career. He got his ring but it will still be on record that he was the #2 not the #1 He will never get that Alpha treatment same way KD will never get it till he wins with the Suns |

birdman: gotcha. cuban is easy to root for as well. he puts in more work into building his team than any other owner I know. I think he is blinded by that ring they won with Kidd. Kidd the PG outsmarted the Heat. Kidd the coach, nowhere near as effective. I don't know if it was Cuban or Dirk's loyalty that kept the Mavericks relevant. Up till Luka came along the Mavericks had drafted horribly. You have to go back to the 03 draft to find a year the Mavs drafted an Allstar which was the infamous Josh Howard As for Kidd. I have no comments. The next time blowhards like Draymond try to speak about basketball like it's some secret science and if you didn't play you can't critique. I would easily point to Zeke, Kidd, Nash and hell the GOAT as proof that you could be a HOF/GOAT level athlete and know fuckall about evaluating talent, coaching and seeing the game |

Roland17: How do you think your team resolves its current situation? I have maintained that Kidd needs to go. On the court, as silly as it may sound, J. McGee is the only big you have and has played well when he saw minutes. I’d give McGee more minutes to help protect board because you guys are getting flogged on the boards. You guys need a serviceable big, pick up the pace of your offense and move the ball. The roster is dross, rubbish. This is the worst rebounding team in the league I don't know mehn. Even if Kidd is fired what happens with this sorry roster. Who's that free agent that will be available to change anything. The Kyrie trade has been a disaster |

Just like they had a Heat problem. It's time to admit they have a Celtics problem
It was on the second night of a back to back granted. But in your gym you lose by 40+??
And I remember they barely beat the Celtics without Brown and Tatum before the all star break. That was the only win
There's a matchup problem there somewhere |

Roland17: Bless you sir! If we talk now dem go say na hate! Last night, AD went for 38/10/4 and everywhere just quiet. Make no mistake, this is what we expect from AD but man never gets his due. He has been carrying this team since he got back but it has been crickets because some one is just all about himself. This is a better team when AD leads versus when Ajala is trying to win MVP ever year and stinking up the joint.
Watch dem choke on it!  That is the Gift and curse of playing with Lebron. Whilw you might be a generational talent. He takes all the glory when they win you take all the blame when they lose. Take it or leave it If Dwayne Wade a guy who was a made man that won a title and Finals MVP while outscoring the second best player in that final more than 2x was catching blame in the latter years of the Heatles why would anyone think it would be different for AD? |

greypencils: The Nets made a perfect trade at the end of the day. Weed out dead wood and build a team of people who are willing to grind out results. The ultimate deadwood Ben Simmons is there. I think moving forward GMs have to evaluate beyond talent and try to see who really got love for the game. Cos it don't matter how talented they are if they don't have a sense of duty if they're just playing because they just so happen to be naturally gifted and see basketball as a route to generational wealth, you're screwed |

OasisX: PRESS RELEASE
DSS CONFIRMS PLOT FOR INTERIM GOVERNMENT BY MISGUIDED POLITICAL ACTORS
The Department of State Services (DSS) has identified some key players in the plot for an Interim Government in Nigeria. The Service considers the plot, being pursued by these entrenched interests, as not only an aberration but a mischievous way to set aside the constitution and undermine civil rule as well as plunge the country into an avoidable crisis. The illegality is totally unacceptable in a democracy and to the peace loving Nigerians.
This is even more so that the machination is taking place after the peaceful conduct of the elections in most parts of the country. The planners, in their many meetings, have weighed various options, which include, among others, to sponsor endless violent mass protests in major cities to warrant a declaration of State of Emergency. Another is to obtain frivolous court injunctions to forestall the inauguration of new executive administrations and legislative houses at the Federal and State levels.
The DSS supports the President and Commander-in-Chief in his avowed commitment to a hitch-free handover and will assiduously work in this direction. It also supports the Presidential Transition Council and such other related bodies in the States. It will collaborate with them and sister security and law enforcement agencies to ensure seamless inaugurations come 29th May, 2023.
Consequently, the Service strongly warns those organising to thwart democracy in the country to retract from their devious schemes and orchestrations. Stakeholders, notably judicial authorities, media and the Civil Society, are enjoined to be watchful and cautious to avoid being used as instruments to subvert peace and stability of the nation.
While its monitoring continues, the DSS will not hesitate to take decisive and necessary legal steps against these misguided elements to frustrate their obnoxious intentions.

sterlingD: Frankly speaking Nagelsmann should not have jumped at the offer to head to Bayern immediately.He should have stayed put and built himself very well and stabilised himself before moving.The top football clubs should stop poaching up coming coaches straight away they should keep them coming n view until when the time is right because this trend of hiring and firing up coming coaches at will is becoming like. a vicious cycle. The truth is Bayern don't do longevity when it comes to coaches. Pep is the only guy that has spent 3 seasons in the last 2 decades. There's this false narrative that Bayern is one poster child of stability but we're really not. Anytime Nagelsmann comes his tenure would have likely been a short one anyway. Bayern just don't do long term projects I'm sure he will land on his feet. Teams like PSG and Tottenham would be interested |

Roland17: His franchise tag over 2 years on the non-exclusive tag is 62M, way shorter and with every year that passes his value drops if he chooses not to play because that MVP will o look old. Naah he would get a bump in the second year to almost $45m if not more. You can't put someone on non exclusive back to back The Ravens can only play this game two seasons after which the price becomes catastrophic. Are they really sure they want a demotivated, disgruntled Lamar Jackson? Will that help them win? How do you think other players are looking at the Ravens after seeing how they're treating their quarterback |

Roland17: Didn’t I warn you? Give me my due cos I called it to a T! The Ravens have done many things. Acting in good faith is not one of them. You were right but I didn't expect the Ratbirds to be this classless or maybe that was my error. I gave them too much credit. If you're Lamar you don't want any part of the Ravens moving forward |
Sports › Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:32pm On Mar 28, 2023 |
Who else is following the Lamar Jackson saga. I feel bad for him in a way. He really should have had an agent. I struggle to believe a Mulughetta or one of those other big boy agents wouldn't have gotten him a quality deal. You can't play the race card. Russell, Dak, Kyler, Deshaun are guys that have been paid and don't necessarily or haven't necessarily deserved their pay.
It almost feels like musical chairs and the music stopped with Lamar still dancing. It's tough to convince me the rest of the league aren't in solidarity with the Ravens to keep fully guaranteed contracts from being normalized
If you're Lamar what you should be looking for is a short term deal with heavy pay. $140m fully guaranteed 3 years. Barring a catastrophe in 3 years time he would be up again to make even more money |
