@Glenjr1988 They overpaid Michael Porter Jr., had to trade him for a lesser player, Cam Johnson, and then outdid themselves with their preposterous contract offer to Christian Braun.

@Glenjr1988 I read a stat that only Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, and Luka Doncic had a rookie year with the same line as Flagg in pts/rbs/assts/stls/blks.
English
This pretty much ends the debate. Hornets fans/Kon supporters are running with the narrative that Coop just started playing well these last few games.
Mark Followill@MFollowill
Was curious after the game Friday night how Cooper’s numbers look in comparison with the rookie class since he returned from the foot injury that sidelined him three weeks. Top 10 rookies in ppg since Coop’s return on March 5 are listed below…easily best in scoring and 1 or 2 in rebs, asst, stls, blks among that group as well. The only guy in the league posting these pts, rebs, asst, stls, blks since his return (even if he by chance he slips a little below the 23 ppg and 7 rpg in the finale on Sunday as noted below) The finish line is here in a long and challenging season with a big offseason of work involved for many. But it has been an incredible season for Cooper to do these things as an 18/19 year old and especially with the unique dynamics of how the season played out from a team perspective.

@fred_guttenberg @ericswalwell You're gonna leave this up? Lol...

@Glenjr1988 Michael Wilbon said he wouldn't vote for Luka in his top 3 because he only plays half of the court but he voted for Harden for MVP multiple times. And the Lakers are six points better for every 100 possessions defensively when Luka is on the court than when he is not.
English
When did MVP voters start putting so much emphasis on defense? Dirk, Nash, Jokic, Harden, Westbrook, etc wasn’t locking people down.

Where does Luka Dončić stack up in the NBA MVP race? 🤔 Listen/subscribe to the Open Floor podcast on: 🎧 Apple: trib.al/on9Gifx 🎧 Spotify: trib.al/rKgoXsT

The almighty great NBA award voting system in question:
NBACentral@TheDunkCentral
Michael Wilbon says he’s voting Jaylen Brown for MVP “I have a vote in this. And I will tell you it’s tightened up. My vote, and I’m not even sure the order. I think it’s Jaylen Brown one, I think it’s SGA two, and I think it’s Victor three. And then don’t talk to me about a guy who plays half the court, Luka Dončić.” (Via @PTI h/t @awfulannouncing , @TheNBABase )

@StasisX30 @HeatCulture13 Are you being serious...
He has a 21 rebound game. In which he also scored 60 points. And 10 assists...
English
Tim MacMahon says Luka’s 60 points were more impressive than Bam’s 83:
“That 60 I’m sorry, that was more impressive than Bam’s 83 vs a tanking team. That 60 when you needed all 60 to win a 21/22 hour turn around back to back against a team that is trying to make the playoffs”

@iamisokokid @ShamsCharania "Other players get techs for breathing, Luka gets passes." Lol he's got 15 techs. That one was bullshit, he wasn't even complaining to the ref, just trash talking with another player.
English
@ShamsCharania Luka’s tech rescinded so he plays Monday, Silver bending rules for his MVP candidate. ‘Justice served’? More like favoritism. Other players get techs for breathing, Luka gets passes. League only cares about ratings, Lakers bias exposed again.
English
The NBA has rescinded Lakers star Luka Doncic's 16th technical foul, allowing him to play in Monday's road game against the Detroit Pistons.
English
@hornyhornetsfan @nylaabell You can't possibly be that stupid. Bam never drops big points but Luka does it like you breathe....
English
@nylaabell Bam just dropped 83 and nobody thinks he’s the best but Luka drops 50 and somehow he’s automatically the best?
English
@nylaabell Is that a reference to how when Luka dropped 73 points (with 10 rebounds and 7 assists) against the Hawks, Stephen A was asked his opinion and he said it was "disgraceful"?
English
Yes, Adam Schiff spoke out against aspects of Obama's military operations. In 2013, he opposed Obama's proposed Syria strike authorization as "far too broad and open-ended," saying he would not support it unless narrowly drawn. He also rejected Obama's legal claim that the 2001 AUMF authorized airstrikes against ISIS in Syria, noting ISIS wasn't part of al-Qaida.

🚨 JUST IN: In a stunning moment, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) says he wishes Ayatollah Khamenei was STILL ALIVE and that Trump should NOT have helped take him out
ABC: Khamenei led a brutal regime that terrorized its own people...was Trump right to take him out?
SCHIFF: "No..."
WTF?! Is he SERIOUS?! You're a traitor, Schiff.

No apology needed. I corrected the attribution to Khomeini immediately and laid out the documented 1980s practices from Montazeri's memoirs, UN reports, and his own Tahrir al-Wasila (rules on temporary marriage and limits on acts with minors). The meme's quote describes real events under his regime, not a direct verbatim line.

Iran state outlet Mehr News shares an image portraying what it calls heaven for Khamenei.

Nah. That was better than MJ’s lol

@Glenjr1988 True, but it should not go unremarked that when you tweeted that Luka was about to lead the Mavs on a run to the NBA Finals.
English
I tweeted this 2 years ago. 1 year before the Luka trade. Take a look at the comments and quote tweets.
Considering how things turned out, I bet y’all wish the trade was for Lauri and five 1st round picks lol.

Glen@Glenjr1988
I’m not saying Mavs need to trade Luka. But if a team offered a good young player and 5 1st round picks, would you consider it? Let’s say that young player is Lauri Markkanen.
English
@Glenjr1988 @KyrieIrving Exactly. Don't risk coming back this season, it's done.
English
Send Reaves, Ru, and a 1st to Dallas for Anthony Davis.
Marc Stein@TheSteinLine
The Lakers’ painful holiday week continues: Austin Reaves has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left gastrocnemius strain (calf) and is out for at least four weeks.
English
@Glenjr1988 Everyone knew this was coming. Everyone, that is, but Nico Harrison.
English
@NevaMiss24 Luka wasn't traded for Cooper lol...the Mavs lucked into that.
English
If I was guaranteed Cooper Flagg, I would trade Luka Doncic in a heartbeat in every timeline. Im 1000% sure Coop will end his career with more Rings and MVPs. #FutureGoat #CoopEra
