So the Dallas Mavericks have completely lost their minds

If you were entertaining trading him why not put him on the auction block? You would've definitely got way better offers than that. I mean, if you're going to trade with the Lakers at least demand a decent young building block back from them like Dalton Knecht or SOMETHING. This is just baffling unless the league brass knows something about Doncic that drastically reduces his value. Something off the court or some underlying injury issue that is going to cut his prime short or something. Because this just flat out doesn't make sense.

Supposedly this trade caught Lebron by surprise too.

I could see it. I mean, if it's true that the Lakers initiated the conversation let's just play this out. News broke well into Friday evening. This honest to god feels like something where the Lakers' GM is throwing down beers with buddies and they hype him up to make the wildest trade offer he can think up just because fug it, why not? HOLY FUG THEY ACTUALLY SAID YES!!!! LOLOLOLOL

At first glance it's a baffling trade to say the least. Even if the Mavs were concerned about his conditioning and injuries he's still only 25 years old. The Mavs haven't been known to be a poorly run org. That is not to say they are right or wrong here. But there's got to be more than they are letting on about. This will be interesting to revisit in a few years.

Even if you wanted to sell Luka, why would you accept a 31 year old AD as the return?  All Dallas has is guys past their prime now.

Bingo. Even if you want to sell you want to get a good price. They just sold Manhattan real estate at a Charlotte price.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      I would say the extremes from both camps in these conversations have to do with the blurring of the fact Bryce is a first overall pick and the expectations for that draft slot fair or not far exceed just being a top 20-25 starter amongst your peers. Regardless. All logical Panthers fans want him to be the answer.

      The offseason is always when hope springs eternal. If you look past that, you can see a very bad roster with a lot more questions than definitive answers. Let's hope we get a lot of those right, because I think we are a lot closer to another impatient Tepper reset than we probably think.

      These arguments are getting more and more disingenuous from both the pro and anti Bryce crowd. Bryce looked very good for stretches down the final 8 games. He finally showed glimpses of the guy that was projected as a top QB pick in the draft. Bryce also didn't look like a top 10 NFL QB.  I think we are so far removed from Prime Cam that we forget what an elite QB looks like. I could tell that when people were losing their minds and simping for Sam Darnold. This season needs to finally showcase Bryce as a franchise talent. If that doesn't happen, it's time to pivot. There are very few recent examples of QB's struggling or being a mixed bag through the first three seasons of starting and then suddenly becoming frachise caliber players.
