So now it's Luka's fault for not offering Brunson a huge contract? Hilarious the stuff people will come up with to criticize this guy. You'd think he shot their dog.

Deflecting cause you’re dead wrong, said something embarrassing, and showed us all you know nothing?

Nah, it was just an extremely silly argument I needed to respond to.
Brunson helped him get past the first round and all the way to the WCF then after he was gone Luka couldn't get the Mavs to the playoffs by himself. While Brunson goes over to the knicks and leads them to the second round of the playoffs two seasons in a row.
So silly...

I ain't talkin about Luka.
Im talkin about Harden...and he better not miss the playoff with the team mates he's had.
But go ahead and keep on lowering that bar.

Is that what I said? Or is that what you want to argue? You can argue that strawman but you don't need me to do it, though.
If Luka as the face of the Mavs franchise says to the FO 'hey, keep this guy around, I need him' when Brunson wanted to sign a 4yr/$55mil contract two different times, the Mavs wouldn't have said 'nah'.
Does that sound more plausible? Or are you going to argue against that other scenario you want to place on me?

luka will never be better than harden until he improves his shooting lol

What are you even talking about? That's an extremely silly argument.
Luka was what? 23 years old back then? And Brunson was a one-dimensional player incapable of creating for others for three and a half years. He started to show signs of life in the second half of the 2021/2022 season when it was already too late. He completely vanished in the 2020/21 playoffs.
In 2022/23, he was great - for the first year, he was really great, but by then, it was already decided that he would go to NYK. So what exactly should Luka, who was only 23 years old back then, do?
I seem to have touched a nerve...

Cry more. You’re the biggest joke on this board.
Harden is a **** basketball player and one of the most overrated of all time.

Joel has the same issue but plays through it

Here's what we can say without dispute:
Luka never beat the Clips until Harden joined them.
If only Jimmy had gotten there sooner.
Buh bye Beard.

You don't know the inner working of the Mavs organization to decide "Luka should have told them this or that" it's just nonsensical criticism.
Well, that is a fun fact. It means very little right now.NBA4Lyfe wrote:bubonicphoniks wrote:NBA4Lyfe wrote:

fun fact, the okc thunder had the 3rd worst record in 2009, they draft harden and win 50 games the next season
harden was elite by his 3rd season, his impact metrics were insane and BETTER THAN lukas lol
only casuals who dont understand basketball would say luka is better than prime harden

I agree Harden was elite...key word WAS...he is now a joke and a team destroyer.
I guess you can't read. I never said anything about Luka.
