If I were Nico, I’d be more worried about Luka’s Revenge Tour than his weight and conditioning. As a former Mavs fan, I hope Luka, as a Laker, drops 70 on the Mavs everytime! - New Lakers Fan 💪🔥
Don’t confuse the team with the fans. There was ZERO Mavericks fans on board with this move. Not even one. It’s Nico Harrison and the new owners that want to take the team to Vegas that did this and continue to do this. The fans hate this move but we don’t want to lose them to Vegas. The only way to prevent that is to defy the odds and win ballgames. So go Mav’s! The future of the Dallas Mavericks is at stake.
19:38 Simply brilliant how this gentleman dismantles the official narrative surrounding Luka’s defense- he’s clearly not an elite defender of course. The garbage-tier journalism led by Brian Windhorst and his crew keeps pushing the same lie over and over again, hoping repetition will turn it into truth. Blaming the Finals loss on Luka’s defense is ridiculous when the entire Dallas team couldn’t hit a shot to save their lives. The Celtics were simply better. Luka and Kyrie took a fourth-seed team all the way to the Finals-Dallas should be grateful. And now, it’s obvious that plenty of journalists have a vested interest in echoing whatever narrative the Dallas front office wants to push.
A lot of credit has to go to Nico for how he has bought the opinion of so many journalists. Culture, culture, culture… blah blah blah. I wonder how many times these people have made First Team All-NBA to be talking about the physical condition of a guy who just led his team to the Finals after playing 100 games in a year.
AD can't even stay healthy this has nothing to do with Luka's weight if they cared so much about that they would have never traded for AD. The GM saying Jason Kidd is on board with his decision also is wild lol no one believes that he just didn't want to come out and say it but the majority owners got cheap and didn't wanna pay Luka that extra 100 million with a super max deal this has nothing to do with Luka's conditioning.
@@electreauxholmes5205 That's why I said this has nothing to do with conditioning it's just an excuse if they're willing to take on AD he's always hurt as well it's not about health it's about the 100 million extra they didn't wanna pay.
It's so obvious that Shams is just a mouthpiece for these NBA organizations. The Mavs ownership clearly didn't want to pay Luka the supermax. This was a business decision, not a basketball one. If they truly wanted to trade Luka for basketball reasons, they would have taken the highest bidder instead of talking to only one team.
Kyrie was about to retire lol then the sudden chemistry between Ky and Luka came just out of nowhere and now you think you can just stick AD with Kyrie and it's gonna work. ha. good luck. you just gave up a player that's constantly thinking out there. Luka gonna be ballin by 28 years old i promise
He didn’t break anything, he just reported it…. He knew nothing about this trade beforehand…. It’s not like he was keeping it a secret until it finalized, he’s getting a little too much credit for not really doing his job…. It’s like if Adam shefter were to tell us pat mahomes was getting traded to the giants after it already happpened….
Yaw'll keep 4getting Luka was not doing all he could even when they went to the Finals..he was playing like he was tired..couldn't/wouldn't get back on defense..Yaw'll just looking at the offensive part..he wasn't trying..of course he was scoring a lot cuz he didn't give up the ball.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, dude is yapping... be open-minded to the fact that his conditioning wasn't the best... Mavs could actually win this season. We can't say this is the worst trade until Mavs lose this season and the next then we can start talking shi until then be quiet and watch it unfold.
I am glad street clothes AD is gone. He is getting old and his body is not holding up well. Rob has made the right decision parting ways with AD even though he knows LeBron is not going to be happy with the trade.
Rob Pelinka is getting a statue on top of Crypto Arena for the heist of the century.
Bro really went from worst GM in the league to the greatest finester in the league within 24 hours
Can’t give much credit to Rob (Lowe) Pelinka. DAL was intent on trading Luka for AD. Period.
@@rd-pd8xb it's the fact that the Lakers didn't give up more. Lakers should be giving up like 5 1st round picks!
Lol. He was on his way out within the next year or so, then this lands in his lap and saves his career
@@brocky 5 1st-round picks ?? Dude we’re talking ANTHONY FREAKING DAVIS; A TOP 5 TALENT !!!
Bro let the man talk, you interrupted him like 17 times.
It’s one of the reason I was looking for anyone other than him to go over this story

Nico is trying to tank the team so he’s hoping Luka comes back angry. He’s counting on it.

He's going to make an entire career off breaking this trade ....
Huh dude already had an entire career have you never heard of Shams?!
E Z@@Brofreshonal Please leave clueless folks alone! lol
i would never come back to this show again 😂😂😂😂tf was pat doing

Ahhh I see they’re trying to build up his reputation with this one trade..Got it
I loveeee this episode ty❤️

Lukas played fewer games than AD the past 2 seasons

2:00 Well, not a "sweep".. It was 4 games to 1 for the Celtics over the Mavs in the finals last season. Almost a sweep. 0-/
d_ahp
Damage control by NBA through Shams as he backtracks…awful trade, everyone knows it. Might NBA advance Mavs to finals for optics? We shall see.
The mavs dont wanna pay the max deal and wanna avoid drama like jimmy butler!!
Jimmy is good but he ain’t Luka 💀 new Zionist owners didn’t want to pay $70 million a year to him
Shams is the only winner of this trade.
Mavs. Got the better deal there.
So he knows somebody who gives him a piece of info. He tweets it, and hes a hero? Thats where we’re at?
Kyrie was about to retire lol then the sudden chemistry between Ky and Luka came just out of nowhere and now you think you can just stick AD with Kyrie and it's gonna work. ha. good luck. you just gave up a player that's constantly thinking out there. Luka gonna be ballin by 28 years old i promise
great episode, great takes, nico harrison put is ego first, the defensive thing about luka is free hate
He didn’t break anything, he just reported it…. He knew nothing about this trade beforehand…. It’s not like he was keeping it a secret until it finalized, he’s getting a little too much credit for not really doing his job…. It’s like if Adam shefter were to tell us pat mahomes was getting traded to the giants after it already happpened….
What? So now we are reflecting, this is so dumb!!😊
Boston Connor is at least 45 years old
Im confused. Did Shams get the trade done between the two teams? What are we talking about here?
nose bleed tickets for the 25th are $400 for Lukas match against Mavs
Now we should trade LeBron for AD.
Yaw'll keep 4getting Luka was not doing all he could even when they went to the Finals..he was playing like he was tired..couldn't/wouldn't get back on defense..Yaw'll just looking at the offensive part..he wasn't trying..of course he was scoring a lot cuz he didn't give up the ball.
*Thanks god for Shams breaking this story because without him the world would have never found out about this! Whew…..thanks Scams…I mean Shams*
casino business trade
Wall don't like ol' sham do yall?
A cup of coffee huh Niko .
Niko got spiked
Blah, blah, blah, blah, dude is yapping... be open-minded to the fact that his conditioning wasn't the best... Mavs could actually win this season. We can't say this is the worst trade until Mavs lose this season and the next then we can start talking shi until then be quiet and watch it unfold.

Hi, @espn plz fix first take, it’s awful, sas is horrible. Plz.
