Mavs are taking a risk by playing him....they let him play and that's what he wanted knowing a trade was brewing...
I don't think it's a big deal at all.


Do you not understand what I'm saying? Finalizing it MID GAME is poor taste, going out with it or letting it get out when the dude is playing is poor taste.
They have every right to do it but this is going to get back at them. It's a shit look (which is why Lebron said what he did, and hundreds of athletes agreed) on the franchise and the GM.
Raaaaarely do players get traded mid game. There's a reason the trade deadline is at 5 pm et tonight, and not when it's games.

Meanwhile, LeGM is trying to trade his whole roster, but it's ok because he isn't doing in game..


Dude, fuck off already. Lets be fucking clear. Would you rather have Lonzo, who plays good D, plays good point, but cannot shoot a jumper, layup or even a fucking freethrow / Kuzma who cannot create a shot to save his life, all he does is run around constantly getting to good spots / Ingram, who I actually like but he's being a fucking beta

OR

Anthony Davis, age 25, putting up 29/13 with almost 3 blocks (numbers matched by Kareem only basically).

Tell me. If you're Lebron. Which one do you want? It's a fucking proven fact that to win stuff, you need a good ball handler and a good big. If you have even more good players, it increases your odds of course.
Our base needs to be Lebron and AD. We ain't ever winning shit with Lebron + these young guys.

Poor taste? It's a business. No such thing. Don't get soft.
Players rarely get traded mid-game because teams don't even risk playing them....it's not hard to understand. It's not worth the risk.
Mavs granted his wish to keep playing. VERY NICE of them....and benched his ass the moment the deal was finalized. 1 step is all it takes to end your season.

Shit look? Oh like the Celtics have this shit image now because of how we treated IT.....yeah making him looking 10x better than he really is, how dare we
Traded him for a star? Poor guy!
Not "back up the Brinks truck" like he wanted? :rofl:
Traded him to compete with Lebron? Who dumped him after 15 games coming back from injury?
LMAO, we should have given him a max like the one Kobe got.

I already said the Lakers should do the trade, no matter the cost...don't get mad at me LOOOOOL
I don't care for players "feelings'...it's their job

I am entertained by Lebron though

No no no, teams can do whatever the fuck they feel is best for the team. IT did good for you, but that was a fluke season, no way he's a 25-30 ppg player. You did good getting rid of him, regardless of what happend in his private life.
BUT if you would've traded him MID GAME, I would've had a massive problem with it.

Thank God at least one person understands the business move of the IT saga. I'll drop it because it's not the point here.

Ok, so you have a problem with a player aware he's likely getting traded, and the team granting his wish to allow him to play --- and trade him during the game (so he wasn't blind to this)
But you have no issue with Lebron joining you this year and trading your entire roster and future when he's going on 35?

Again**, I believe LA should give it all up, but I see no difference here...if anything, the Lakers situation looks much worse. Why the hell would a player want to go play in LA now?

yeah, it's difficult to care about players when they make millions of dollars to dribble and throw a ball. Their life is going get substantially worse because their feelings are hurt. lmfao, they signed a contract.

And yeah Lebron is entertaining on and off the court. He is basically the black Machiavelli of basketball.

Never going to feel bad for any player other than injury/off the court issues, OBVIOUSLY.
But feel for any because of a business-related move? Yeah, fuck no...

Just thought it was ironic of Lebron to feel for Barnes....rofl
