He carried them to the finals last year. What more do they want. It's going to be better when they spend the next six years tanking?

If the NBA commissioner wouldn't allow the Chris Paul trade, they should nix this trade.

I must admit, I’ve paid little attention to the NBA this year, but I’m pleasantly surprised at how the Pistons are doing this year.

I think it speaks to some reason we don’t know about the Mavericks were sick of Doncic and decided to get rid of him.

IMO, the NBA has gotten so ridiculous with the salaries and guaranteed contracts the players control what games they are going to play in and for how many minutes.

I read where Joel Embiid the center for the 76ers is making over 50 million per year and has missed 50% of the games since he’s been in the league and then I read he’s missing rehab sessions and not working out to get back on the floor.

He’s making over 50 million per year and has several more years on his contract which is guaranteed and given his durability makes him less desirable to other teams in terms of a trade.

I suspect Doncic is the same way.
