What stood out to you in the NBA GM Survey?
Let me just say to yall ESPN Merchants out there who are just repeating the same false narratives and don’t care yo even watch and analyze full games. Luka had a great all around defensive year before he got injured right before the playoffs and even early in the playoffs before it piled up. Statistically he was the 9th best ISO Defender and legitimately top 2-3 best PG defender all season long. You can tell it just got too much that he had to take painkiller injections before each game in the finals, he needed to conserve energy more than ever too to facilitate and score so he had to rely on team defense but Boston was just too good with their 5 man out offense. If Dallas had faced a team like the 2023 8th seed heat and not a literal superteam they would’ve won but they lost so the narrative shifted again and just blamed it all on Lukas defense cause its easy when his literal teammates couldn’t make open shots to save their lives and choked!
Luka just isn't woke and this is huge !
Simple. SGA plays defense. Luka doesn't.
Let's hype Lively and Naji!
OKC will suck this year. It will be clear early on the adds will make a negative difference. They will be 3rd, or 4th in the west. Next year they will lose key players to budget cuts.
Why? SGA knows they will not extend him or do anything about him over performing his contract and making millions less than Luka. Attitude will suck.
Isaac makes me wonder if his pastor services are better than his insight for basketball. Isaac doesn’t want any more chances for a 3rd year Hardy who looks like a good player. But wants more opportunities for AJ Lawson……… starting to hate this show.
They can't hype Luka too much or else he might become the face of the league by default.
U guys are senseless losers. The whole league knows that he's the best player by a landslide. Gtfoh
Nick did not bite Isaac's Doug McDermott shout lol
Caruso has been overrated since he was on the lakers.
So.. you're saying most GMs are noobs?
Funny.
Minnesota being above Mavs is just disrespectful literally right after the Mavs beating the breaks off that team in the WCF.
BS propaganda. 99% of owners would take him in a sec. They just know he is absolutely OFF the market
Probably because everyone & their mama is picking OKC to run the West next year, including you two. Don't know how you can put OKC on a pedestal than turn around and be mad about Shai being considered better than Luka. JDubb & Holmgren are amazing young players, but haven't done or proven anything outside of barely being the #1 seed in a year when they were by far the healthiest & most consistent lineup in the entire league.
Seems like everyone who talks on the NBA & Mavs are too afraid to pick against OKC. Everyone just falls in line & are too scared to have an original opposing opinion.
I really love when they discredit Mavs and Luka. It definitely motivates them. Keep that same energy GM’s when Mavs destroy your team and make you rebuild your roster.
I also know they associate Dallas Mavs and Dallas cowboys being same fans and they hate everything Dallas cowboys. Probably hate the stars too.
Always nick with the new girl 29 reference 😂
Okay absolutely believe luka is better than sga
but sga's salary is like 8 million a year less than luka for the next 3 years. Yall are glazing too hard.
It’s so crazy the disrespect Luke gets each year. They all say they respect him and then turn around and do stuff like this. It’s wild to me.
Who cares luka is happy to play not what they think aboved him. Ti samo uzivaj stari.
Anyone who chooses wemby over Luka doesn’t know ball! Luka is the greatest prospect probably ever in the NBA. Look at Luka resume before he entered the NBA and what he has accomplished so far at the age of 25. What was Wemby doing at as a teenager compared to Luka? Be more educated people, I can’t stand the hype of wemby just because he’s tall
SGA vs Doncic seems like the Dirk vs KG debate all over again 😅
KG is being overhyped over his defense whilst not stopping dirk from dominating on their H2H.
People choosing SGA over Luka mostly mention that SGA is 2-way player but H2H Luka beats SGA as shown in the playoffs (an injured Luka btw)
Simply ….any alleged championship team…..find Luka on its path…..capute….
