  1. What can you expect to get for a one way player that also happens to be a culture cancer because everyone on the team works harder but he's the centerpiece?
  2. Who is Nico? Watch the film of Luka on both ends of the floor for a few full games, not just the three pointers he hits when he gets hot, take out the emotional elements, and there is not a great disparity. The truth is that if you can get offense from other positions, you're better off without Luka. As a Lakers guy, I'm not counting on any titles with Luka as the "face of the franchise." There's going to have to be other guys that do the real work to cover for Chunky's glaring deficiencies.
  3. I used to go to Mavs games up through the early Cuban era. After Cuban became a big mouth idiot, couldn't stand Mavs. That to say I have some distance. Mavs fans who think Luka is some kind of all time great are way out there. He can't play defense. He can't get in good shape. One hot playoff run does not an all time great player make. Davis is a better all around player. Davis is seven years older. Thus the trade is not nearly as lopsided as click bate artists or Mavs fans think. If Luka finally decides to stop eating and drinking like a frat boy (and that's a big "if"), then maybe it's a good long term deal for the Lakers. That takes us back to the defensive problems Luka has. That's the insurmountable fact which makes the deal much murkier than highlight fans think.
  4. Luka is equivalent to a dozen hamburgers and a two for one taco special.
  5. As a former Lakers fan, I don't like trading for chubby boy. Since the NBA has been a joke for about fifteen years, it doesn't really matter.
  6. Coz, you've misunderstood what's going on with hobbies and complaints.
  7. Those that pay the $37 million might remember.
  8. I don't care if Turntine goes to Oregon, A&M or Georgia. I just want real reports rather than "family" excuses.
  9. So what you're saying is we don't get real reports from OTF?
  10. Why not just come and tell everyone he's going to Tennessee? It's coming anyway. Either Gerry played us or Turntine played us.
  11. We certainly didn't hear that before the fact.
  12. "Turntine told Texas about visiting Tennessee per @Gerry Hamilton" What happened to the Gerry report that he had a "family event?"
  13. Gerry and Bobby can say what they want. Turntine going to Tennessee on Texas junior day isn't good. Maybe it's a negotiation ploy. Don't overpay.
  14. For Ryan Wingo. Todd Shaw. Saint Louis to Texas.
  15. Would like to have seen Wingo there with Arch and the guys.
  16. Gotta give credit to Terry for keeping the guys believing. Hopefully it will lead to some momentum.
  17. They're strange. All the talk about Jeremiah Smith already being the greatest player to ever live is nuts.
  18. Tate hasn't proven to be worth much.
  19. Hey Matt, Henry Kissinger reminds me of Kobe Bryant. Is that politics?
  20. I think winning a national championship in a men's sport made Bjork go nuts.
  21. The Auburn offense is quite intriguing to me. It's by no means a thing of beauty, but they quickly reverse the ball from side to side, which creates open shots and opportunities to drive or enter the ball to the post. Bama does a good job of screening both on and off the ball. They don't reverse the ball nearly as much as Auburn, but they pass and dribble drive with a purpose that sets up good shots. Texas dribbles and stands. That's we we don't have an offense but other teams do.
  22. While it's true there isn't as much off the ball movement and motion today (and this is not a positive development or change), every other college team doesn't run isolation with maybe a screen. The better offenses pass the ball around the perimeter looking to get open threes or drive into the lane if they can get a defensive player out of position. It's quite basic and boring, but they do it. Texas doesn't pass.
