crazy they say lakers when they only got a few good MINIMUM guys but they gotta glaze that cash cow…..
One job keep Luka happy?? Lol stfu …these guys are a joke. Luka hasn’t won jack…I don’t get the allure
Perk does understand that it's more to having a winning team then just having two superstars on it. And here we see the double standards. When someone like luka has got a superstar next to him it's all on him now to show up( and he always has perk BTW don't talk like he didn't) and nobody cares what the team around those two looks like, it was horrible last year, yet with someone like tatum and embiid, kd and book they got everything you would want in a team yet these so called analysts still come out and talk about further things they need and when they dont get it done in the playoffs these superstar get no blame at all. Brah when luka was going out in first round with thj or finney smith being their 2nd best player luka was getting the blame
Brah Perk don't talk like it's because of luka they missed the playoffs. Before kyrie got there luka had them in 4th place while finney smith was his 2nd best player. And all you have been doing the last 2 weeks is saying it's all on Luka now. Man you better give him his props when they are one of the best teams in the west
Its so funny how luka gets more blame with the roster he has compared to guys like kd, book, embiid, tatum with the roster they have. Its pathetic
West is loaded and will be dogfight 🥶 Let’s go suns or warriors
Kyie got underpaid. He was eligible for 5 years , 272 million
Clichéd platitudes make no sense. Ain't saying nothing!
Why did ESPN keep perk. He’s actually dumb.
Perk talking about Luka taking Brunson to the playoffs when it was actually the other way around, Take Brunson off that team and they don’t beat the Suns. Look at what happen when Brunson left that team, he carried another team to the second round while Luka was in Cancun😂
Why is Perkins still there he doesn't add nothing to the conversation.
How are you gonna say the mavs are the biggest losers brah. Does she understand if they offered kyrie less he could have just walked and be petty. She got no knowledge. There are so many teams that done worse
ESPN must trade Malika Andrews.
I’d take Brunson over Kyrie any day.
Go Mavericks 🐎
Luca #1 NBA talent
this gotta be the worst first take lineup i’ve seen
Trade Kyrie for Lillard
A better fit and more professional attitude
Kyrie getting traded to the suns
Sound like a bunch of Mavs haters …
Who tf is this woman? She’s terrible jesus
How do they let go of all the people we actually enjoy watching and keep some girl like this on here who can barely speak in front of a camera
Wait, ESPN fired a ton of people, but kept Perk?
Christian Wood better be ecstatic right now
They need a third guy like a Paul George
I love Courtney best looking woman on ESPN
Sooner or later people will realize that “Luka ball” will not win you a ring . He’s not good enough. Only Lebron can play that kind of game.
I rather have Jalen Brunson than Kyrie at this moment
Another player job is to keep another player Happy wow I don't see no females in the NBA
Nuggets losing Bruce and Jeff Green are notable losses but they might still repeat.
Van Fleet to Houston; Shameful!!!
To make Luka happy, Tyree will share his Burger King fries everyday with him.
Dallas is gonna comeback this year all these mfs just hating bc Kyrie didn’t go elsewhere y’all some bums Dallas all day 😈😈
I don’t like how they try to downplay Kyrie Irving like whattt🤦🏾♂️Luka is cold not sayin he not but we talkin bout Kyrie tho
Kyrie need to do exactly what he did last year.
Bring back Max
Who is this lady in green? Why is she talking about basketball? Crying about another man getting paid.
🫤😑Who is this woman???
If we can manage to sign PJ Washington and Thybulle, I will actually be really optimistic. PJ can play
