 Mikal Bridges went for 4 unprotected 1st rounders....Dallas got 1 for Luka .  There is some talk or at least 'tea leaves' coming out now from some reporters insinuating that Dallas GM Nico Harrison is good friends with Lebron and that Lebron's son Bronny considers Nico Harrison to be 'like an uncle' to him LMAO  

This past summer when Bronny entered the draft Rich Paul made that 'uncle' comment and said that "if the Lakers passed on Bronny at pick #55, then Nico Harrison would draft him at #58.  

The "reporters" on ESPN are paid pissboys for the sports league, total charlatans

@begginerboy

 Idk if this trade can be compared to any other in history of the NBA.  It wasn't even like Dallas asked teams around the league to submit their best offer, they straight up called the Lakers specifically and asked them if they wanted their franchise player  like Wtf??? and all they got back was 32 yo AD and a 1st (I know Max Christie too, but that doesn't help justify it)...it's that reason right there why i think this trade needs to be investigated, but Silver has to be doing backflips Luka will be wearing a Lakers jersey for the next decade  

The Lakers were (likely) looking at an early playoff exit this year and Lebron's retirement tour next season, but just had another franchise hand them a top-5 player for nothing....stuff like this is why i never laugh or mock anyone who thinks this league is rigged

It's an insane trade and the league already stepped in once when the Lakers had a trade in place for Chris Paul to join up with Kobe.  I think they may have to do so again 

Like, even if Dallas decided Luka was a bum who would never win anything, he's still regarded as a top-10 player in the league (more likely top-5) and they could have gotten a Kings Ransom for him somewhere else, but all they get is a guy who's constantly referred to as "street clothes" and a 1st round pick LMAO 

Supposedly Dallas GM Nico Harrison was upset about Luka not taking conditioning seriously and how Luka didn't play defense and i agree they are both legit concerns, but the positive far outweighed the bad with Luka and you dealt him for peanuts

@Bleakhouse

 funny i just agreed with you in a different thread on this exact point  

I don't fear Mahomes, Kelce, Reid, Taylor Swift.....i fear SPAGS lol

I'm betting the Eagles to win, but Spags is the unsung hero of KC, he doesn't get nearly enough credit.  Hurts is a deer in headlights when faced with a blitz

This team could have imploded (like they did last season) when they lost at TB in week 4.  They scrapped by Cleveland and Jacksonville at home and haven't looked back since.  Sirianni is the Aaron Boone of the NFL, but Roseman did a great job of bringing in great coaches on offense and defense (Kellen Moore and Fangio) to hold his hand this year. 

Howie Roseman has put together a great roster.  The only loss in the last 3 months came at Washington when Jalen Hurts got injured, yet Kenny friggin Pickett came in and the offense still moved the ball at will, remember that game was a wrap if Devontae Smith doesn't drop that pass right in his lap.  The defense is the best it's been since the last time they won the SB in 2017-2018. 

Got them at +700 to begin the playoffs and took them earlier before Buffalo and KC finished at +100.    No 3peat for KC

i teased when i didn't have to 

oh well, still a winner

I'm betting against them in the Super Bowl lol

I took Barkley +10000  (20$ to win $2,000) after Week 1 and saw how he looked vs. GB in Brazil.  I kind of think Josh Allen deserves it though because he was kind of written off after Diggs and Gabe Davis departed and he answered with a great season 

I get the argument for Lamar Jackson and i like Lamar, but i don't know if you can give it to him a 3rd time after his team has flamed out again in the playoffs with 2 turnovers of his own hurting them.  I know Mark Andrews and all... 

Who do people think deserves it?

He definitely got enough and the it should be talked about because the refs have the benefit of replay and still got it wrong, HOWEVER 

Allen is built like a horse and should be able to pick up that yard with ease, especially when he wasn't even touched behind the line....he runs way too upright

@soup-can

 Totally agree 

i got Philly +700 to win SB back when playoffs started and have hammered that +100 when today's game was winding down. 

Difference this year is Eagles defense is legit as opposed to 2 years ago and obviously last year they were a mess.

Dan had them ready just fine, he can't carry the ball for them these guys are supposed to be pro's, but they're literally handing the game over to Philly

Monfils +130

Really????  I think the NFL is salivating over it again....All the Kelce's and swifties running wild again.....i mean who doesn't want more of that????

Took a night off to focus on UFC   (6-8-1 Overall)  

Michelsen +310  

I had Eagles ML as last leg of a giant parlay with UFC last night   

Putting some of my winnings on Cook, he's been breaking runs a lot lately  

BOL Lev, gotta shovel some snow now

@MindControl

 That 1st set is how I envisioned the match. They got into long rally’s in the 2nd and Monfils never folded, Fritz became mentally defeated I think.  

Monfils was like a fighter who took his opponents best punches and kept walking forward 

@Starnes

 At least I’m good for something 

Not even mad, i figured a fresh Taylor Fritz playing off these fast courts would get the better of a worn out Monfils (he's played A Lot of tennis over the past 2 weeks) but Monfils looks like the fresh player during rally's
