Wolves supposed to be winning in that trade knowing how good Luka is and I think he is more better player than Edwards. But I guess the Wolves still bet on their future with Edwards since they think there would be more from their young star.

On anger level on Nico side I guess it will be the same. Luka is well loved by Mavs fans and many people think that he would bring championship to them and will retire as a Mavs.

But Nico also reached out to Bucks and ask about Luka and Giannis trade https://www.si.com/nba/bucks/news/mavericks-attempted-to-trade-giannis-antetokounmpo-for-luka-doncic-bucks-refused-report

This is so ambitious moves for Mavs knowing that Bucks always think that Giannis is so valuable to them and most likely they won't trade him to other team.

They probably get another player or future pick together with Anthony Edwards. But Timberwolves might have been caught off guard with the preposition by Nico and the Mavs as they are willing to let go of their generational talent in Luka.

But as the same time, Edwards is the future of this team and the Timberwolves organization doesn't want that to change or at least their fans might not like this kind of trades and so they say no. As compare to the Lakers, which we all know that AD is fragile and has history of injuries so it's really the Lakers winning in this trade.

Man nico is in some deep mud right now.  Another recemt trade quentin grimes AND phillys second round pick to philly for caleb martin.  Martin has yet to suit up and quemtin grimes just dropped a 44 piece on golden state in a rare philly win.  Nico gambled his career and looks like it might not work out for him.  No way he gets another gm job after this.

Yes, it also proved there's a heat between the two. It's not a normal trade because the Mavs did lose on that, he just wanted Luka out but the reasons behind it are still unknown. Doncic was interviewed after that game against his former team and he only said "I didn't see him." when he was asked about Nico.
That's impossible because he was so visible before and while the game was running and Luka said some words while looking at him during the game. It's just an insult that he is now invisible to him.

Anyway, another win for the Cavaliers, that's their 10th winning streak. This team seems to be on the road to winning the championship this year.

Cavs and Thunder really are very similar, both in front court and back court. If we see both of them in the finals it's gonna be a great and competitive one, that's for sure.
Yet, the Cavs must overcome the Celtics which are a tough matchup for everyone. That's about it in the east I would say, it's only cavs and celtics. Of course the west looks a bit different. Even though the Thunder should be hard to beat in a 7 game series still there are sleepers that might have a chance. Dallas, when healthy, is a beast. Nobody would want to play them in the first round, trust me. If they get the team in shape it's gonna be interesting to see how much trouble they can give the top of the standings when the playoffs come!

Yeah, and they won the game, extending their streak to six in a row now.

As for LeBron, he was just one point away from making history again, becoming the player to accumulate 50k points (combined regular season and playoffs). But unfortunately, he couldn't get it in that game, but next game sure he will.

The Suns got massacred, and honestly, I think their biggest mistake was trading Jusuf Nurkić. He was a solid center, nowhere near Ayton’s level, but still decent. Every time they trade their big man, it feels like a downgrade.

It was a close game, but the Lakers was able to withstand the rally of the Clippers late in the 4th quarter. Luka with 29/9/6, and it's obvious that he is enjoying his stay now with the Lakers.

As for the Suns, they really don't good and in disarray right now. They have KD, Booker and Beal, but it's not enough though. As it seems that KD is being haunted like when he was still with the Nets with the likes of Irving and James Harden. They can't get their acts together, and probably the news that KD going to be traded before the deadline might have hurt them mentality specially also the case of Beal, which has a non trade clause.

But it looks like the Cavs have the numbers of Celtics for this season? And it was a humbling experience for the Celtics to not take them lightly. They are leading in the first quarter with 25-3 score and Tatum and the rest thinks that it is going to be a easy game for them.

However, the Cavs mounted a big rally and then Tatum supposedly their franchise player choke in the 4th quarter again. And it bring back memories from last season wherein they really just steam roll everyone in the playoff but if you look at it, all of their opponents doesn't have their franchise player and that's why it was very easy route for them in the East. But now with a healthy Cavs, it might be a different story and gonna be hard for them to defend their title for this year, just saying.

Nico will not do that kind of trade without the approval of the owner. He just made a case on why Luka needs to be traded that’s why the owner approved this trade. It’s impossible for the owner not being notified or ask for approval for this blockbuster traded since Luka is the current face of Mavs.

Probably, Nico value Davis as not injury prone and pure skill which in a sense Davis will be valuable on Mavs since they already have Kyrie if Davis will be healthy on whole season.

If Davis manage to snap on his injury risk, I think Mavs will bounce back and can easily beat Lakers current roster that doesn’t have defense.

That's how Luka plays. He ain't the type that will drag the team to losing but instead, he will energize them all thanks to his passing capability. What Nico did was a big mistake and I highly doubt that the other owners of the Mavs did agree with his decision. I don't know how he made them decide to trade Luka but I bet he has a plan but it didn't work. Yeah, we might see him gone someday, maybe next year or very soon.

We have 7 games later. The most appealing to watch is the Thunder against the Rockets. Those two teams had been playing phenomenal basketball this season. The Rockets might be the 5th in the Western conference but they are just 1 win away to tie with other teams above them.
