They should try to get way more than that IMO

Ad, christie, flagg and a future 1st. Id take that tbh.

Imagine that team?!?!

This is such a Reddit moment. No team would make this trade.

“Despite losing weight, is Luka still too fat?”

-Nico Illustrated

Is Luka Doncic a system PG?

Only you…

How else will we prove that we’re smarter than everyone else?!?

Those two opinions were wrong and WE all should be embarrassed and ashamed of ourselves.

This has been happening since the conception of reddit

Welcome to Reddit

Classic reddit

This might be a crazy concept for you to process, but I’ll give it a shot. Sometimes when people comment on things, like I did in this situation, you’re going off of the information that you have. Which makes sense because I’m not a future predictor. I had no idea this would be an actual popular post. All I saw was a new post and the comments in the post were dumb, so I made a comment saying the comments were pretty dumb. Then more time passed and people agreed, and those other comments became less of the popular consensus. See how that worked?

Part of being a leader is making sure that everyone knows what their role is. It doesn’t matter if you’re leading a volunteer fundraiser bake sale or the Los Angeles Lakers, everyone needs to know their expectations and responsibilities. Seems like JJ let Reaves know clearly what his role is, to be one of the culture setters on the team. The most common mistakes I see is not clearly communicating roles which leads to people being unsure what they should be doing, people need to know what you expect of them.

This is JJ showing good leadership, if people think this is harsh or mean, it means they’ve never been in meaningful leadership positions before.

I honestly think only reddit/America has a complex with that. Everytime he scores a point.. There’s some kinda reference to his skin color in the game thread comments.

I don’t doubt he has to hear all kinds of references to that in real life too. But that’s not a him problem. That’s a them problem.

How so?

Being a “guy” is literally what every player wants, they get the most money and fame. Reaves wants to be in the discussion with superstars, not role players.

Yeah I feel that, the top comments are all variations of shitty tired jokes ignoring the context of such an interesting quote.

Like it brings me chills to see Reaves go from someone who I wished could one day be a serviceable role player to being mentioned in the same breath as Bron and Luka, that progression year by year is absolutely nuts and not something I have seen in all my life.

I was mad at him for accepting head coaching position because I wanted to listen to him forever on old man and the three podcasts plus the youtube videos he sometimes did

For sure, that’s why I was going crazy when everyone was saying they should trade him. Like, I get he had a bad series against the Wolves, but goddamn are people shortsighted. During that stretch where everyone got injured, Luka wasn’t back yet, and was still coming off of injury and kinda sad from the trade when he was back, who was there night in and night out? Fucking Austin Reaves. He brings the energy every night, even when he’s out there with fucking Bronny, Knecht, and some G leaguer I’ve legit never seen before until a few days ago. And he does whatever is needed from him. Need him to play as a role player and secondary ball handler? Got that. Need him to drop 50 to win? Bet, he’s got that too. You don’t just get rid of a guy like that, especially when he’s home grown.

I watched the clip after reading the parent comment and it was the same vibe as just reading the text lol

You wildly overestimate this sub

Yeah there’s nothing in the clip you can’t get from reading the quotes lol

Some are gonna think hes talking about skill and what not, not leadership

Why did you word for word copy someone else’s comment posted 2 hours earlier.

AR isn’t a free throw merchant. Watch back all the fouls in his 51 point game. Maybe 2 - 3 can qualify as baiting 

Calm down lol, I said he wasn’t the most vocal I didn’t say he isn’t talking to anybody and not being a leader? I even included Austin in the 3, not saying Austin is the main 1 or anything. Obviously Luka has been vocal and a leader. But you can’t lie that Austin has taken that role by the horns and trying to be that guy for the team in game. He is talking and encouraging and helping strategizing for everyone and making sure people are on the same page. Coach on the floor type shit. Didn’t mean to stir anything up for you lol

Saying that Luka isn’t the most vocal does not equal saying that Luka isn’t vocal. And I never mentioned Luka’s leadership throughout anything that I said. And if you would include the rest of the quote you chopped it says “who is part of the top 3” (and since we love to read into what things imply) that implies that Austin is a part of the 3 leaders of the group.

I think it’s a lil different.

Reaves is defacto a third guy.

Chet isn’t. Chet is more of a 2nd guy. Really a 2A/2B.

Amen Thompson as well. He’s got Penguin and Kevin fuckin Durant.

Gordon is the closest but he hasn’t come close to demonstrating the ability to do what Reaves is doing with Jamal and Jokic not playing at all.

None of those guys you listed are playing with 2 guys on the level of lebron and Luka.

Can we be certain? All he did was win 50 games his rookie season despite starting the year with DLo as his 2nd highest usage player and losing AD for a chunk of the season, before trading for Luka, who was also out for most of the season.

He managed to put together a very good defense built around Jackson Hayes and a 40 year old while integrating a team altering star into the lineup. He nursed Luka back into game shape while getting the 3 seed in a very competitive west while handling almost every press conference masterfully compared to his predecessor.

He’s now got 75% of his team salary out of the lineup with injuries and is being forced to rely heavily on 2 way players to play meaningful minutes. He’s gone .500 so far.

But should we have just kept Ham instead? Jury’s still out!

/s

He had a bit of a Freudian slip there lol
