The just sounds like the WCE with a "healthy" Demko. Not bad.

My guy is getting his man body. Congrats, we've turned him into JT Miller. Clock is ticking.

Dallas just f***ed with Luka’s money (cost him 100M) and called him fat on the way out

I don't follow the NBA but I understand that Dallas didn't shop him and the return is questionable.

I have trouble understanding that narrative from a hockey fan and (to a lesser extent) baseball fan. It's like if we kept Boeser and let him walk as an UFA and the concern is that we "f***ed with Boeser's money" by not arranging for a sign and trade so he could sign for 8 years instead of 7?

Right decision or not, a team has the right to decide whether to commit a long term max money contract to a player and trade that player. If a sign and trade produces a better return balanced with the odds of winning the championship this season, then ya wait and do a sign and trade, otherwise it seems silly to be concerned about a player's money making ability.

NBA is in a different universe the way they do business over there. Don’t they even trade coaches sometimes?

Apparently no other team even knew that the guy was available. Gotta think Dallas could’ve gotten a better return if they wanted.

It’s a bit like the Rantanen situation on steroids.

Also the fella will get mad endorsement deals in LA, he should be able to compensate for not getting the supermax deal.

That's what I mean. Pretty much everybody understood why Colorado traded Rantanen and I can't see a NHL hockey fan blame a team for screwing a player's ability to get an 8 year deal. Baseball is very much about money but never is a team blamed for a player making less money.

And to be fair, I don't think it's necessary to shop a player if there is a target in mind.
