You got a hall of fame resume to look over from his playing days in Dallas. You have the entire NBA think the trade was a hoax. You have an entire fanbase in mourning. Yet, you still have spoiled idiot Laker fans around here saying Luka isn't a generational talent. I have to remind myself, maybe I'm conversing with a 12 yr old. Who knows.
Nuff said
I almost printed this and framed it.
Spot freakin on!!
Shut the hell up those who are so ignorant that no nothing about Luka.
I work with people from Dallas and Luka is a GOD to them. Some still protest outside the arena.
Yes, it's true, he's coming off injury and he's a little banged up now, but he is almost averaging in 12 games, 25 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.
Yet some morons here still complain.
Wait till Luka gets more time with this team, the coaches, the city, etc. I hope he signs a gigantic extension this summer. I know he will get even better over time.
Luka averaging a 30 point near triple double over the previous 6 games.
Them: Quiet.
Luka has one bad performance vs Brooklyn
Them: See!? This is what we were worried about. He comes across as so lazy.

How many championships does Dallas posses? Of course hes a god to them, they barley have sh&* over there.
This is the city of champions. When you wear the purple and gold, you start over from zero. He needs to impress us... not the other way around.
Luka may do great things here. If so, we will honor him. If not, he will be chased out of town. As it always has been. This is the way.

You really believe there is a scenario HE will be chased out of town?
I get he's still looking a bit rough at times due to him coming back from the longest injury he's had in his entire career while him and his family were absolutely blindsided and had there lives completely change overnight but that's a legitimately crazy take imo. You're talking like he's some unproven Rookie and doesn't already have 6 incredible Seasons under his belt with another half decade in the Pro's Overseas. Let's use common sense here and figure he likely didn't just forget how to be a generational level talent overnight at 26 Years old. Just a thought though....

I've run into more people than usual who just want to be offended and take offense to normal stuff
Something making humans more aggressive and less comprehensive
^^Not only having to deal with moving to another state but maybe he is some kind of God
Look at how his uncontrolled anger crippled nearly the whole team after he left
Then when he got here everyone wanted to show off so bad they injured themselves
I always remember Tiger Woods practicing golf at age 3 and 4 and comparing it to Japanese "jump schools"
Luka's father was a pro and Luka broke big Euro records and titles etc He's a Slovenian legend
He's a LeBron Kobe Magic Cassius Clone... In body and mind.
I still say we're only seeing post injury safe play Luka.
BTW why da refs let him get concussed and beat up in the games now? _________________ If we don't make it dangerous to be a Nazi

Doncic is coming off a 35 point near triple double season where he lead the Mavericks to the Finals on one leg while taking out SGA and Ant in the process.
If people are complaining after his 30 point near Triple double run he had over the previous 6 games before the Denver game and were vanished prior, only showing up after that one game, that should tell you all you need to know about them and whether they're worth engaging with. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Anthony Edwards said he's been watching a lot of film on how on a particular player attacks double teams. That led to some of his reads in the third quarter tonight: "I watched a lot of Luka [Doncic] ... Watching film and watching Luka man, 100% I swear."
Anyone wanna run this up to Luka stat? Hopefully watching tape of his old young self activates that dormant muscle memory. It’s still under there Luka…just under all that belly fat my dude.😜 _________________ Not familiar with the salary cap/CBA rules & how it impacts our Lakers?

You want me to be elated and overjoyed that he's here. Sorry... im not. He needs to earn my adulation. The same way Kobe had to when he ran Shaq out of town. The same way Bron had to.
If you want to treat Luka like the second coming of Christ, then thats fine. My problem is your ilk questioning my fanhood because I refuse to do so... as if I havent spent 35 years of my life watching this franchise.
Luka is a generational player.. I do have two concerns that hopefully by the time the playoffs come around will look foolish, but for now they are there.
(1) His mobility has declined dramatically and he is settling for far more jump shots now than earlier in his career. His ability to get to the basket has greatly diminished over the last couple of seasons.
(2) He might need a bonafide #1 option alongside him to win a title. Right now he has that in Lebron.. but what happens when Lebron leaves? I don't think a #2 guy is going to work. It appears this is a #1A and #1B situation in order to be a title contender if Luka is on your roster.
^^ Those are my concerns as well. He appears slower than previous seasons. He's dealing with injuries, but his body fat probably has a lot to do with it... which honestly speaks to a lack of discipline.
I also dont like him whining on every other play instead of getting back on defense. We can point these things out without being called false Laker fans.
“At that point, that’s when Rob was at the game and he met with the GM of Dallas. And they had a conversation. And Rob thought about it for a day and then came to me and said ‘here’s something that was talked about, a framework.’ And I said well, I hope you told him that we’re not trading Anthony Davis. We’re not trading him. And as we talked more and more, we figured out a framework that could work. And then the rest went on and I said that what the most important thing is that if the conversations become public, it could blow up our season. Because now you have a player who thinks they’re going to get traded, it’s hard for them to recalibrate. So it was completely kept under wraps and I think that’s why it took everybody by surprise.”

What's so bad about this quote?
nothing wrong with the quote, but i just don't want her to talk in public, especially about this trade. it can come off as being arrogant after being on the right side of this lopsided trade. just keep mouth shut and don't instigate other owners and front office even further.

Exactly. CandyCane - What is wrong with the quote? Jeanie did a superb job here, as did Rob on keeping it quiet and thinking it through without leaks.

Commendable job by both, if anything.
If you have the chance to trade Anthony Davis for Luka Doncic, you don't decline or hesitate. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Someone who's mobility has "declined dramatically" doesn't score 29 points in a half. He absolutely has his flaws like turnovers, but this guy is just rounding into shape. Also, he's processing so much more than folks allow human beings to just gradually move into.
Surely things like the shock of the trade, moving his family across the country, learning to play with new teammates and a new coach, recovery from his calf injury, being out for an entire month until fairly recently has profoundly impacted him.
I realize we want instant production and athletic feats to demonstrate that he's a stud, but he's not. He's a strong, crafty, balanced player, with a super high bballiq, who is rounding into shape. Notice that neither he nor LeBron are on the floor often. He's a strong dude, man, both physically and mentally.
You got a hall of fame resume to look over from his playing days in Dallas. You have the entire NBA think the trade was a hoax. You have an entire fanbase in mourning. Yet, you still have spoiled idiot Laker fans around here saying Luka isn't a generational talent. I have to remind myself, maybe I'm conversing with a 12 yr old. Who knows.

People are free to disagree, even if they are wrong. I think he's the best thing since sliced bread but there are legitimate criticisms, and no one should be deterred from voicing their opinions or be called idiots for it. That type of stuff just makes this place more toxic. _________________ Yi Jianlian Fanboy. Respect The Chair.

There's a huge difference between disagreeing and saying extraordinarily outlandish things like Luka's going to get run out of town as a Laker. That's flat out silly nonsense imo and not at all based in actual reality from the very large body of work that's already out there for a 26 Year old. Nice to see some posters like the above have some common sense at least though so not all is lost.

This is a cliche take. There are such things as idiotic takes. Let me go to the extreme to prove this point... Hitler had opinions, right? Did the world sit back and say, he's right to his opinion. LOL! So, I propose there are such things as idiotic wrong takes in this world from big social issues, down to superficial sports issues. _________________ Westside Knecht gang, Knecht gang, bing-bing bang!
