This is his chance to build a legit team. Seems like he is calling the shots now and isn't going to lean on Klutch

I don’t think Rob has done much of shat yet lol! Especially based on what has been done in the past. It’s all only potential at this point. Give him props for setting down a foundation, not props like an extension and stuff as if his job is complete. It’s like praising a builder for building a good house while just looking at the foundation. Sure, the foundation looks great, good job Rob putting down a foundation for the future, but he has fracked up other houses tho after starting with a good foundation and fooled me into thinking we’d have a good finished product but didn’t. So, when he finish building I’ll give him the type of props designated for those that complete the job. For now it’s just props for a good start.

I’d be pleasantly surprised if Rob doesn’t frack this up too. Good start tho! Hope it works out good. 👍

Rob could sign Giannis to replace LBJ and the same people sh*tting on him now will still be sh*tting on him.

Incredible.

I mean Rob is right about Luka's risk. Not as weight/drinking so much as Luka bailing in '26 a la DH12. But also, like am I crazy or is there not some amount of downside risk with drinking/ weight problems? I realize Luka is an MVP caliber player but we've seen what weight issues did for Zion. Great job from Rob. Just wish he managed to keep Max

I think Nico is just an idiot.

Rob is just like yeahhhh i know it's luka and all but i mean you know there's risks and like i don't know...can we like idk just trade ad a first and like max? and nico's just like yea sure !

Even with risks there are plenty of teams that could have offered way more.

I think Zion and Embiid really scared Nico. That combined with having to make the financial commitment in this CBA. The zeitgeist really made this possible, just like the cap bump allowing GS to get KD.

Looks like Rob has a decent rapport with the following teams:

Nets
Jazz
Wizards
Magic
Mavs

The Nico and Rob connection was not something I was expecting.

It's hilariously ironic that the common criticism of Rob over the years was that he doesn't have relationships around the league that he can bank on, and then literally one of (if not THE) greatest opportunity that's ever been presented to a GM in the NBA came to him because of the rare relationship he was very uniquely positioned to have

Not sure we can consider the Jazz on this list anymore as Rob burned whatever trust Ainge had as Danny basically allowed Luka to fall unwillingly into the Lakers laps.

Man, I've been crapping on Rob and Jeanie for a few years now. The fact that she simply hired him because of his relationship with Kobe. Had no clue that that relationship had appendages in the NBA like Nico. LOL! And that it would lead to Luka. All is forgiven... just don't do another Zubac for Muscala.
