Should the Pistons give him a max contract this summer? 😳
LeBron James run as a Laker was great. Don't know if he gets a statue but 100% a jersey with two numbers in the rafters. Set records in that uniform, won bubble chip and made them the most relevant team in the league again.
@LakeShowYo Honestly, a fully healthy AD is way more impactful than Luka. Luka might give you 30 every night, but teams constantly target him on defense.”
Indiana Pacers President of Basketball Operations Kevin Pritchard:
“Disappointed, because this is a great draft. Everybody says, ‘Why didn’t you protect it a lot deeper?’ Unfortunately, we weren’t able to. That was the vig for us to get [Ivica Zubac].”
This is consistent with what Lawrence Frank said. The Clippers had a very high and firm price for trading Ivica Zubac. There was some hope internally that no team would meet it, because they didn’t want to trade him.
Ultimately, Indiana got aggressive and loosened the pick protections.

Y’all think the Lakers did the right thing by not playing Luka Doncic at all and thinking about the future too, making sure he’s 100% healthy for next season?
