JHS

If anyone hasn’t heard by now, plays for the Utah Jazz as of the bs trade between the Mavs and Lakers.

Basically Luka for AD. NBA allows all the star players to get traded to the Lakers for practically nothing. Other teams could have offered way more for Luka! Doesn’t help that Cuban is no longer in charge and the new owner formerly worked for LaL.
I guess the Mavs will roll with 3 starting Cs now and LA will have no C! Im sure the NBA will gift LA another superstar for a washing machine! I hope Luka stays out of shape and fails until Leebro retires! NBA sucks, glad I dont watch it!
With all that said, I hope JHS finds a success place in Utah!

One more season and his contract expires with one. further year player option. He wanted out of Dallas.. Mavs could trade him now and get something in return or wait and get nothing when he left.

I hate the Lakers but attractive destination for many players.

I don't really follow the NBA, but I'm not sure AD is "nothing" or the equivalent of a washing machine trade bait. Something I don't like about the way that he carries himself, but he's one of the most physically talented and gifted players out there. I can see him butting heads with LeBron and also see why Dallas might want someone who is better on the defensive end, and why AD would want to be "the man" on a roster. I have no idea on their physical condition or contract, but on paper, this makes sense to me.

JHS may find success in Utah but I doubt it. He has not scored 30 points total in his NBA career and is now in his 2nd season. JHS=BUST so far. He left too early. He should have stayed at IU and worked on developing his game; better for IU and better for him.

Luka was smart. He made a boatload of money in no income tax state and now can go to LA and try for the championship he has talked about and probably better place for an MVP. AD and LeBron weren’t making any progress so good opportunity for AD.

Reports are that Luka did not request a trade. This was the GMs doing alone.

Luka Doncic Reportedly Didn't Ask Out of Dallas Before Trade to Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks completed one of the most shocking and significant trades in NBA history. In a complete turn of events, the Lakers

One of the dumber trades in sports history. He's one of the top 3 or 4 players in the NBA, with a chance to be an all-time great. He's 25. And you don't even shop him around?

I based my comments on reports like this-

“Cuban's comments came one day after Doncic, after his declaration that he wouldn't be shut down unless play-in hopes were completely extinguished, bemoaned how much the Mavs' chemistry had declined this season and admitted that the team sorely missed Brunson.

"A lot," Doncic said, shaking his head and gritting his teeth into a pained grin. "I mean, amazing guy, amazing player, for sure."

Doncic had grown impatient with the Mavs' mediocrity early in the season, when he was playing at an MVP-caliber level while carrying a historically heavy workload. For the first time in his career, Doncic enthusiastically engaged in personnel discussions with the front office, as sources told ESPN that he pushed for a major upgrade despite the Mavs' limited trade assets.”

They are again having a mediocre season and doesn’t change the fact he could simply walk when his contract expires.

It depends on your goals. If you just want to put some good players on the floor then different goals if fully committed to pursuing a championship. Lakers are fifth in the West and Mavs 8th. Neither are progressing and LeBron and AD not getting younger. If you are all in on a championship and not progressing you need to shake things up.

He was a guaranteed first rounder: hard to pass that up. Edey would have gone pro his junior year if he was a guaranteed first rounder. JHS has also had injury issues. I hope he can get things sorted out.

Your Celts are still the best so don’t worry.

JHS has to produce next year or he's out of the league.
