BOS hangs another banner!

Easy win. Mavs couldn't repeat their last performance. Celtics will be glad to get that monkey off their back after the past few seasons of under achievement

Weakest run to an nba title in years. Worst nba finals since probably 2007.

Interesting one. Josh Giddey traded from OKC to the Bulls. A good move for him re play minutes. OKC get Alex Caruso.

So, LeBron is going to give Redick try. Better work as time is running out for LeBron to get another championship.

Playoff P George to the Sixers. Thompson to the Mavericks. Lebron probably on his final contract.

I'm a little surprised that Klay and GS didn't figure out a way for him to retire as a Warrior.

Doncic to the lakers. That came out of nowhere.

I dont believe that mavs trade top2 player in the league for injury prone 31yo AD. Nico Harrison might be on crack.

I've been lost for words. What the hell were the Mavs thinking?

I can’t believe Cuban made the ok. Luka didn’t even want to leave. At first I thought it was some rift between him and management, but it looks like that wasn’t the case. He hasn’t played since like Christmas.

I think it’s a bit of a risky move by LA. Yes he’s a talent and he’s been one of the best players for the past few years, but because he can’t keep himself in shape, he’s going to be prone to injury, so they may be playing with fire if he doesn’t get serious about his fitness.

AD is a big loss for the Lakers. I don’t think they benefit as much as some think. Who will Luka play with when LeBron retires? Lebron will retire soon and if Luka’s health is a question, what do they have to build upon to be contenders for years to come?

It's the Lakers tho, they'll always have big free agents

Its not Cuban. Mavs got a new owners , cuban just owns 27% and he dont have a power to make basketball operations. Harrison just wants AD and thats it. This will go down as the worst trade in NBA history.

And now De'Aaron Fox to the Spurs...
I don't know any but it must suck to be a Kings fan.

They got rid of Mike Brown, the coach, earlier in the season. The ownership sucks.

They weren't doing anything anyway. And this gives them a better chance at pairing Flagg with VW.

Let’s hope he doesn’t turn into an injury prone center. He doesn’t play a physical style of basketball, but when you’re that tall, it’s difficult to keep the injuries away. He’s an excellent mover around the court for someone that tall.

Mavericks' Kyrie Irving out for season after suffering torn ACL

Irving had to be helped off the court early in the Mavericks' loss to the Kings on Monday night.

What a disaster. Davis has been out injured basically since the trade & now Irving done for the season (Davis & Irving have played only one game together). Mavs are 32-30 & barely holding onto the final play-in spot in the WC.

Mavs are done. This season is gone already. Nico Harrison should probably quit.
