wtf would he do that? He pretty much got a lottery ticket. You don’t cash in a jackpot ticket for a better chance at a bigger lottery. You think him staying and getting injured wouldn’t have hurt his draft stock?(which likely would’ve happened) remember he missed games from his back issue. He sat out last year for his back procedure. He easily made the right move.
Luka is one hell of an offensive player, but has little to no interest in playing defense. And he is almost always out of shape. He isn’t someone I’d want leading my team, even with all his offensive abilities. They should have been able to get more for him, but I don’t blame them for getting rid of him before he’s due a max contract in the 350MM range.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!
Jhs signed a. 4 years 17.8 million contract. If he waited got better and was picked 10th he would had a contract of 4 years 25million plus he would of got atleast million or more for NIL so that's quit a difference to me. Look at Ware last year came back got probably 1 million for NIL plus picked 15th and signed a 4 20.5 million dollar deal.
Ware wasn’t in the same position as JHS. JHS was nursing a back injury and his name was hot. Ware had a bad scout and was thought of pretty poorly because of what happened in Oregon. You don’t come back to move up a few spots. JHS 100% made the right move. I’m not sure any sane person gives up 18 million at a chance for 25 million. That’s just ignorant.
The skill level and product overall is better but I can’t handle the officiating and the whining and favoritism by the so-called stars.
I guess i'm ignorant 7 million is alot more money plus the key here is he gets a year to develop in college something that has not happened in two years in the NBA.
If he didn’t in the nba what makes you think he would in college? He sat out almost an entire year after getting drafted for back surgery. He would’ve been sitting the entire year in college. Argument makes no sense. Not in this instance. Especially how different the draft was the next year.
