That could work but it’s no guarantee he wants to go to Dallas. As far as winning goes, his other best opportunities after a trade would probably be the Thunder or Rockets. You also don’t want a depleted roster of the new team you go to and those two teams have plenty of young talent to spare.

Honestly Giannis probably tells Ownership where he prefers to go and they owe him that much, he brought the City a NBA Title. My guess is the Knicks

Milwaukee doesn’t control their first round pick until 2031 also so that’s another thing to consider. They will certainly be looking for impact players in return. I don’t think they care about draft picks, they just want whatever is the best return because they are stuck with that Dame contract now.

Agree wholeheartedly. The least you can do is trade him wherever he wants to go. But as we know, professional sports franchises usually don’t give two 💩 about where the player wants to go. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out. Someone will be an instant title contender wherever he ends up though.

Rewarded for stupidity

Idk if it is stupidity. Those fans can get upset if they want but everyone knows AD can be the best big man in the league on any given day. Kyrie and AD is a better duo than Kyrie and Luka imo. I thought it was a good move for the Mavs. Luka isn’t going to take care of his body so you might only get 5 more great years from him and then it would be a wash anyways.

I will judge it when Luka shows up next season. Luka will never be chiseled like others his body type is built to carry some extra weight. If Luka loses 25 pounds then he will be fine
, if people sitting around waiting on Luka to be nothing but muscle good luck...

25 pounds is a lot of weight to lose. I don’t have faith that he will do it. He will still be great offensively but the defense will never be there unless he trims down. He is already behind the 8 ball defensively because of his lateral quickness deficiency but then you add on that much weight and it makes him one of the worst defenders in the league.

I guess we’ll have to disagree on this one. Setting up the hypothetical that there will be a cut back on baseball funding in order to state that Tony should go to Miss State is straight BS. My opinion, granted.

First time I’ve ever had a problem with Ben. But now? I’ve got a problem with Ben.

Yes. That’s an accurate summary.

What Ben did is asinine, dishonest, frankly hostile, disrespectful, manipulative, condescending, and destructive.

Cardinals extend win streak to 9 as Winn solves southpaw slump

PHILADELPHIA -- Last season, when shortstop Masyn Winn was showing off his vast potential as a hitter to the Cardinals, he admitted something that seemed outlandish at the time, but it was something he ultimately backed up with his bat. “I’d rather hit off the best left-handed pitcher in baseball

Doesn’t really matter if it was provoked. Still shouldn’t have even entertained them. They were looking for a reaction and got exactly what they wanted. Just ignore them and try to focus on finishing above .500 in your last season.

Good luck with 19-23 yo highly passionate, competitive men ignoring their bitter rivals dog cussing them and gesturing the moment the game ends. No punches were thrown, no big deal—neither head coach lost their cool. A big nothing burger. Most fans would be ticked if TN ignored their antics and would say they have no heart and no fight in them.

Don't back down man . How about them Yankees they had the highest paid teams year after year but didn't totally dominate. Baseball can get by with 2 really outstanding pitchers and good relievers. With a coaching staff that can develop you for the majors can recruit enough to be competitive. Just need a couple big donors to pay the way for a couple top dogs.

I despise the Yankees and any team who tries to buy their way to greatness. Under the current state of college athletics, what would stop Warren Buffett from donating $20M to NIL for University of Nebraska’s baseball team? It’s becoming a total joke. Who will be the first baseball player to rent himself out to 4 different schools in 4 years? I’m not here for that.

I think most Tennessee fans are more ticked that we suck at defense, base running, and everything situationally that contributes to winning. I care less about whether a guy wants to chirp back to some idiots celebrating like they just won a national championship. Do the little things to win games then you don’t have to get in your feels over your instate rival owning you on your home field.

Bad non contact injury for Jayson Tatum. He was having a sensational game up until that point. They fear it may be an Achilles the way he was writhing in pain and had to be carried off the court. Hate it for the guy. He is an awesome basketball player.
