Lakers are selling the season with this trade, ofc I’m saying this with hindsight but this roster ain’t it with Luka, would be mad if I was Bron idk may be reactionary
Mark Jason Miller
I, Milkus Moonshine, couldn't be happier with this episode (but wish the promo teaser was 5 seconds longer.)
Nicole Gerron
Laker raffle ticket winner here from the fundraiser! Looks like his debut will be on Monday when I’m going to game with best seats of my life. So flagrant! And Carl, my husband went to Hami class of 08’! Go Yankeessss💕💕

One good point I heard in Nico Harrison’s favor is that you could probably not get a single player better than AD in a trade for Luka. Tatum, Jokic, SGA, Giannis, Wemby, all likely unavailable even for Luka. They still should have gotten more in addition to AD, but there’s one point. Ultimately I blame Miriam Adelson who blew too much money on destroying Gaza and getting Trump elected.

Sean casually telling Carl the proper way to smoke crack off a can was hilarious.

The NBA is back baby!! Great pod today

Obviously Luca is secretly a trans man and now thanks to Drumpfs executive order he's worthless to the Lakers. Good move by the Mavs.

id call the goofy espn article “colorful analysis.”

Eric McKay
Man…Carl Tart’s laugh is the best. It makes me so happy.

Going to be fun to watch the Mavs beat the Lakers in the playoffs this year.

Sean should have said "I want a Laker with a Slovene"
Sean Allen
Man intends, god pretends
Bill Vog
The laughing over the comical reason Luka was traded was infectious. Loved this episode
derve
Sean nailed it with the vibes take. Nico/the new owners just said "fuck this guy"
James Debo
You and every other media outlet need to stop saying "rockets could trade sengun" yall are idiots if you think we're giving him up
Travis Lawrence
Never expected Masta Ace inc. to get mentioned
Jordan S
Was hoping this would make me feel better 😞

Why should I remain a Mavs fan when Miriam Adelson, already a terrible human being, reveals herself to be a cheapskate owner and Nico reveals himself to be a gullible, tunnelvisioned GM who will take bad deals to get a player he likes. He said one reason he made the trade is because you have to build a team around Luka. THAT'S EVERY GM'S JOB DESCRIPTION. Every GM builds around their best talent! And when he built the team around Luka, they made the Finals! Absolute dummy excuses from Nico.

The whole thing is as dumb as the look on that Dumont owner-guys face. He looks like a mannequin
ChuteShark
In the end it is a bad plan. Because the team wont get moved, but they will try to tank assuming that,in theory, the owners could move an aimless team.
ChuteShark
Basically, ownership bought the team for 1 reason l: Leverage in lobbying the state to legalize gambling. And since the state hasn’t caved to gambling yet. They did this. Probably the most refunds on season tickets ever
ChuteShark
Carls right. Tom Haberstraw interviewed a Dallas lawyer that makes a good case for how and why this all happened.
