Apparently Paul George is upset that the Pacers don’t honor his accomplishments.  I’m like what accomplishments .

I’m now accepting apology forms about my Knicks. Top 4 team in the NBA with room to grow. Apologize Knick haters!! (-;

PG will go down as a very good (not great) player. Great stats and lead team but 0 finals appearances. Then left on bad terms. No honor is owed.

Not a hater but will give props. NYK look legit. Top of the East is crazy though with Cleveland and Boston too.

Insane. A 21yo asking a certified freak of nature and top 5 player on the planet, “Is that really the best you’ve got?” I swear. No idea how his career plays out but barring health stuff I’ll be shocked if he isn’t the best defender we’ve ever seen. Dude is singular.

This is the most insane trade of all time. 

[Hoosierfan2017 22,185]

What a horrible trade for the Mavs lol wtf. I love AD, but he’s 7 years older than AD and probably not even the better player right now. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 49,014]

I swear the NBA is rigged. No way a sane mind accepts that trade for The Mavs. Haha

At first I thought Shams looked at his calendar wrong and was a whole 2 months early on April Fools. I guess Feb 1 means business.

Fino heads to Utah in that deal.

I miss Woj dropping news like this.

How badly must the Mavs org really, really hate Doncic?

9 year old's immediate reaction:

"Oh man. Dallas is cooked."

It'll be interesting to see AD be the guy again and not in the shadows of LeBron. And Kyrie getting to play point again. If AD can stay healthy... I think it may be a win for them. A healthy AD is better than Luka IMO.

[BtownStrength 1,297]

This is absolute insanity. Watched the Lakers-Knicks game last night, great win and wake up to this news. And I had already bought tickets to Lakers-Pacers in March so I guess I get to see Luka now? 

I will take it. Bittersweet but excited for the future.

If this is true the GM in Dallas needs to be straight fired. Today. You have 1 of the top 3 assets in the sport and you got talked down?  Would say that’s insane except for the part about how trading him was insane on it’s face.

Cant see the tweet but assume it is trashing the Mavs GM. This was the man who was Nike GM and apparently blew the Curry shoe deal with them so badly he went to Under Armour. He does not have a history of competency.
