He is not soft with Milwaukee. He’s simply waiting for lebron to move or retire from the Lakers so he can join Luka.

Why would you make a trade for the unicorn if your not gonna win a championship with him and curry. I was glad we got him in Boston because he played a big roll in our chip but we also had Al Hartford as back up. This has to be the worse trade from the warriors

Give me this Warriors negotiator’s job, I’M MUCH BETTER. I once sold one lemonade for the price of two, that already qualifies me to be better than this weakling. We had VuΔeviΔ, Jaren Jackson Jr., we had ZUBAC, the GOAT of rebounds ZUBAC, but they choose the tired PorziΕΔ£is. I won’t even mention the lack of fight for GIANIS. The guy should have put his mother up for the trade for Gianis, but they didn’t choose the tired PorziΕΔ£is. Give me this tired guy’s job, I’ll accept 10k a month to make fewer mistakes.

I think Golden State lost his trade horribly they couldβve got a lot more for Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hill

Monica basically implied that the draft was rigged. Without the Luka trade, Dallas doesnt get the first pick?

I feel like NBA should hold the Bucks accountable. Theyβre clearly holding up the market. Seems like theyβre bluffing and not trying to move Giannis for anything other than a ridiculous offer. Theyβve done this like 3 years in a row. Seems fishy, but karma is a thing too.

Monica can talk NBA without giving Knicks PR?! Almost all her First Take talking segments are praising the Knicks as an MSG employee.

Porzingis is very injury-prone.

Wow, I donβt think they believe this. We all know the NBA gave Dallas Cooper Flagg. so it was not gonna matter what spot they fell to in the draft they were going to get him.
Please stop the public the fans. We are not stupid.
