Luka Doncic Is The NBA's Truest Gamer

by John Wilmes

It's time for some Gamer Theory: Luka Doncic plays Overwatch, and is in the 99th percentile of performance. He's in the 100th percentile of NBA players, but it's important to understand he's also elite pretending to be a futuristic gladiator and talking trash to teenagers.

ATL gets: Shaq

MIA gets: Childress, Zaza, Speedy, Lue, L.Wright

the trade is basically Childress and contracts for Shaq. i'm not sure how many people still think that Shaq still has something left in him, but i still think he can not only get a team into the playoffs, but also take them far into the playoffs, if he is put in the right role. no longer as a #1 or #2 guy, but as someone who can get 10rebs 2blocks and eat up space.

Why would you want to help Miami out by letting them dump Shaq's awful contract on us?

We need to stick a thread that says "Chillz and fillers will not net a star." And I wouldn't want Shaq anyway.

Not just no, hell no. 20M per to watch the further decline??? I'm happy to leave Shaq in Miami as an financial anchor on their flexibility for another couple of years.
