Luka and Kyrie together. Wow.

Luka dominates the ball (Kyrie does the same). I still don't think this changes anything.


The only thing this changes is who is the PG for East All Star time now [emoji23]

Re: February Games Discussion Thread

I can't imagine much. They lost their best perimeter defender. And upgraded their "when Luka goes to the bench". Which means they are leaning in on Josh Green. Changing Spencer for Kyrie isn't much in my opinion. I could be wrong.

I more so meant does Kyrie want to sign an extension in Dallas, and did Dallas just run the risk of this going as sideways as it has everywhere else and end up losing Luka..

As far as what you said above, I almost think they need another trade now. THJ and whatever picks it takes for OG or something. They have a massive hole with perimeter defense.

According to Twitter world all LAL was willing to offer was Russ and one first, and didn’t want to sign Kyrie to a 4 year max.

So wait Dallas is also getting Morris maybe that's where they are hoping he fills in

Yea I don't really like it. I could see them coexisting for a while. But Kyrie better know that's Luka's team.

Because no one does!!! Lol... Would you sign him to a max deal? I'm usually the most positive person when it comes to these kind of deals. Kyrie is just too dangerous right. Once he speaks out and something happens.

Is he going to know that?

Re: February Games Discussion Thread

Dallas had to do something because that team's heading nowhere with what they had around Luka, but Kyrie is just such a risk man

I legit feel like he could just outright retire this summer instead of signing anywhere, he's that much of a wild card. On the court it's a great fit though, just have to keep him reigned in off of it which we all know is not going to happen lol

EXACTLY!!!! On the court Kyrie is an all star. Interview and View points is another thing. Next thing you know he'll be talking about Gun Reform in a press conference and people will freak out

Luka JUST signed last year.

Explain it to me like I’m 5 why they should be concerned about losing him already.

Re: February Games Discussion Thread

Now use those picks and flip Harris, Cam or Seth(at least 2 of those 3) for another player.

This can’t be the only trade Marks does.

Pack could we just get rid of Ben Simmons too? I'm kind of done with him.

Do you think it’s a great fit on the court? Man I’m not sure. It could be I guess, but Dallas had Spencer dropping 40 and winning with Luka out just to have him stand around and do nothing when Luka played. Same with Brunson and Spencer winning them playoff games last year with Luka out, though he fit a bit better when Luka played.

I guess I could see it going either way. I don’t think their team was nearly as bad as advertised to start with, they just won’t get the ball out of his hands. Does that change with Kyrie? Maybe. But both of them I feel like are worse without the ball than Spencer or Brunson were.

With that said you can typically play the revolving iso game with 2 stars. It’s 3 when it gets tricky. So maybe that works out for them.

Can he force a trade like we've experienced in the last months?

That's the kind of danger he presents. I'm not against anything he talks about. But it's just disrupts the entire team. No matter what he says. He's forced his way out of 3 different teams. Where does it stop? (Yes I understand the situation in the Celtics wasn't a trade. But he said he was going to resign. Then all of a sudden backed out. I know we can change. But man you got to shut your mouth)

I’m not taking about losing him already.

I’m talking about after a year or two if this Kyrie experiment goes the same way the last 3 have. At that point what’s to stop Luka from asking out if he’s not going to win in Dallas? And he’s already played a year of that deal, he has an option on the last. What stops him from walking in 3 years?

And I’m not saying anybody should be concerned, nobody knows how Luka even feels about the situation there now outside of Luka. But Bron left Cleveland a year after Kyrie was gone, KD asked to be traded while Kyrie was there with him and Kyrie all “I’m not leaving my man 7”, just like his promise to stay in Cleveland, telling Boston he wanted to stay there too. You think it’s completely outside reasonable thinking that Kyrie does some **** there too and Luka bounces after it doesn’t work again and again?
