    It explains trading Luka, not only calling Lakers and not thinking about making bidding wars 🙄

    Yeah. I said on their forum last summer, that they got too excited about new owners and Nico, just because they hated Cuban and Donnie. But the new guards had long way to go to meet the resume of the old ones. They fanbase now is between the Anger and Bargaining phase, in the phases of...

    Kyrie, Lively and AD won't leave money on the table. The Mavs will have good enough team to avoid lottery in the next few years. Dallas is the 4th biggest metropolitan in the USA, with arguably the biggest sport Franchise in the planet, no state income taxes etc. They will never be FA...

    Everyone knew it was an F the moment it happened. Unless 2029 pick turns into the next Shaq or something. But you can't underestimate a confident idiot. Which seems to be the entire Mavs hierarchy. Nico only success came when Dennis Lindsey joined as Consultant. He was a competent GM with...

    It is Mavs trade. Read Nico Harrison interview. That idiot has orchestrated the deal. He is actually proud of it. PS: Luka lost 116M in contract from this trade, and that's not counting the massive marginal tax rate between Texas and California (around 14%, but NBA players are taxed based on...

    I don't know how the money works, but Lebron for Butler work for both franchises and players.

    There is a talk that this is a J.Kidd move, that he is the one calling shots there. This could make sense of the move, as coaches rarely care about long term, and Kidd coached AD in LALA

    I didn't say it was his decision, it was Dallas. Lakers are circus with incompetent owners and front office, who only got bailed with Lebron wanting to enjoy South coast and having Covid in 2020 for their astrik title. They have 400 years old Lebron and few role players, they aren't that well...

    This isn't the best move for Luka btw. A guy who has off the court issues (always arrives overweight) and has anger issues, LA is probably the worst for his career. Although, getting away from Mavs ain't that bad.

    Any news about the guy? It seems that many other clubs are also interested, but so far zero news and he is without a club for sometime now. Very weird tbh

    Mavs new owners are the one who initiated the trade. And while they are one of the biggest Casino investors out there and love gambling (rumours that the only reason they bought the franchise was as a part of lobbying for gambling in Dallas) I doubt they will do this to the Lakers, whose...

    Luka to the lakers. Man, I never trusted those new owners.

    13 - Joan García

    He might not want to join us, as he is an Espanyol player with options in European elites. Barca doesn't seem bothered about GK again, sadly. But we were connected to him, and we are close to his agent.

    Nico Gonzalez

    Last rumours about 40M+ deal. Which isn't bad tbh

    Spain

    He probably wanted to say it is the biggest in Madrid.

    Ibrahim Diarra

    Indeed, even in Mali they called him African Kaka, they clearly see him as more of AM than wide player.

    For me it is either getting a striker, or address the depth hole for the rest of the team. We can't afford to have both issues next season tbh.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    He is one of 4 wingers on Ajax shortlist

    https://www.uefa.com/nationalassociations/uefarankings/country/?year=2025 Right now, the race for the two extra spots in CL next season is close. England is flying high with over 19 pts this season. Italy 2nd at 15.687 while Spain 3rd at 15.605, Portugal has 14.4, Germany fifth with 13.781...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I doubt they care that much about UEFA. MBS is about being the one "modernising " the country. He cares more about people there enjoying the product than European attention. He doesn't need the later considering most of the World leaders are under his payroll.
