@AshNicoleMoss If that’s the case then how come no one traded for Embid after his mvp, injury prone stars have the same issues over there career now there on the same team

at the time this wasn’t a “bad” trade. SGA wasn’t what is he now and Paul George had All Star years in OKC — 4th in DPOY voting, 3rd in MVP voting. the trade really did make sense.
trading Luka to the Lakers is still the worst trade in history.

The worst trade in NBA history

@ZO2_ Ur knees and your brothers ankles and brain made of fuckin cheese so it don’t matter wtf u say
English
@BiasedHouston Your not wrong I would rather lose this series than let Luka come back and win if it means he’s not 100%
English
I’m the last person who people want to hear speak on this because my team is now playing the Lakers… I am telling you, hamstring injuries are not the ones to play with.
I watched it end the prime of my favorite player ever. It cost me a ring in 2018. That’s the one you let heal
Marc Stein@TheSteinLine
The Lakers’ Luka Dončić, I’m told, is scheduled to rejoin the team in Los Angeles on Friday in advance of the Lakers’ first-round series against Houston after his recent trip to Madrid for treatment of his Grade 2 hamstring strain.

@PlayoffDude Unfortunately not, I don’t think we can pay him the max due to the little deficiencies he has vs Great defenses. But slight below like the 30-35 mil is fine.
English
I feel for Austin Reaves, man. This was supposed to be his “prove he deserves a max contract” playoff run with Luka Doncic out, but now he’s sidelined too.
If you’re the Lakers, would you still commit to giving him a max deal to keep him long-term?
English
@BiasedHouston First of all, regardless of what happens and I don’t expect a lakers win this will be a awesome series between KD and LeBron, secondly will always root for the lakers and will die on that ship so respect but I’m taking my guys.
English
LeBron James is the greatest a human being has ever been at playing basketball and is no less than my second favorite player of all time.
This will be the second time in my life where I have to root for his failure, the first time being Rockets/Lakers in the bubble.
English
@mcten Get him outta there, embarrassing the whole team
English
Austin Reaves appears to be grabbing his left side/lower back. We'll see if JJ Redick gets him a sub here during this timeout by the Lakers. Reaves has four early turnovers and LAL trails 25-9.

@BAEHELPV0N @NugsGetBuckets @LukaUpdates @cickedc Never have I ever said that SGA is not a top 3 player in the league, and he’s definitely not more valuable to okc than Luka or joker are to there teams
English
@StackedLAL @NugsGetBuckets @LukaUpdates @cickedc cuz maybe if u actually watched okc games n stopped listening to online narratives from casuals you’d understand why 2 is the best and most valuable player itl

@SpursCulture Yall about to watch the best player in the world beat the best team in the world, yall ready to watch Cavs vs warriors again.
English
Let's see what the Luka MVP hype is all about tonight
Ima need him to outplay SGA, but most importantly come out with the win
English
@NBAspain @jomadafacka Only real answer is the two guys with the best stats Joker and the Don

@BeeCallaway @ClutchPoints @RunItBackFDTV Since you can’t comprehend basic ball talk, Jokić is not in the same stratosphere as LeBron. LeBron passed Bird about 5 years ago all time. Therefore that is disrespectful and therefore defined as old head hating.
English
@StackedLAL @ClutchPoints @RunItBackFDTV This NBA legend just put Jokic in LeBron territory. So I don’t understand “old heads can’t cope” logic. It can’t be an “old head” thing because Jokic is not from that era and neither is LeBron. So your “old head” argument doesn’t hold up. Please explain.
English
“With all due respect to [LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard], they're not in the same conversation with Larry [Bird]. The best of the best, it's hard to get a seat at that [all-time great] table."
- Robert Parish
(via @RunItBackFDTV)
English
@kendrickj_ @SwipaCam @Sean_Davi The team hit an ass stretch, Jokić like Luka and SGA has been a top 3 player. Now he’s generally seen as the best in the world which he his most of the time but that seat is revolving amongst those 3.
English
@SwipaCam @StackedLAL @Sean_Davi Ass coming back from injury for a quarter of the season
No shooting gimmick to start the season
English
If you want to value simply On/Off then Jokic/Wemby have crazy impacts.
Although Shai & Wemby both elevate their teams from Solid potential playoff caliber teams to juggernauts
Sean Davis@Sean_Davi
I think my current MVP Ballot would be 1. Shai Gilgeous Alexander 2. Luka Doncic 3. Nikola Jokic 4. Victor Wembanyama I don’t feel good about this at all, and I really do feel that the last 2 weeks or so of the season is going to determine a lot
English
@BeeCallaway @ClutchPoints @RunItBackFDTV Ain’t nobody having Larry bird vs lebron debates for a reason. And no body is putting Jokic in LeBron territory. When you disrespect someone like that it’s called hating
English
@StackedLAL @ClutchPoints @RunItBackFDTV Why you attacking me? I’m just the one asking. The question is how are the “old heads” hating based on era if they are giving props and putting Jokic in the conversation that they don’t put LeBron?
English
@mike1773779 @ClutchPoints @RunItBackFDTV Trash ass niggas be judging Bron based on how he’s moving rn but 10 years ago he woulda take you your pops and your grandpops to the nba finals
English
@BeeCallaway @ClutchPoints @RunItBackFDTV Stfu and just say you ain’t watch a lick of prime Bron. These hating ass old bums talking about some Larry bird, put prime Bron on them Celtics and does he win more or less than bird?
English
@StackedLAL @ClutchPoints @RunItBackFDTV You can’t use the “old heads can’t cope” excuse for Lebron when that same old head is giving props to Jokic and saying he’s gonna be in the conversation but LeBron isn’t. Just accept that when compared to other greats, Lebron isn’t the guy yall see him as.
