His mentality has always been win now. These talking heads just talk.
Pelinka’s first priority is definitely getting Luka to sign the pen to the paper. That’s why there hasn’t been a “all-in” move yet
Why would a GM move all their draft capital when they don’t know if their superstar who would help you sustain greatness for multiple years is gonna sign the paper?
Another reason the Bron stuff has been so fake. They both want to play with each other, just for a good team.
Yea that’s the Lakers plan too contrary to whatever this silly subreddit is going to say.
Same tbh
Who would have thought
I guarantee if we’re in the top-6 at the deadline Rob will not hesitate to move draft picks for a major win now piece
But when Bron says this it’s all chaos
The narrative was going to be “what if Luka doesn’t sign an extension”
Now that that’s likely out of the way they have to shift it. Now it’s going to be “Is this roster good enough for Luka to contend”
Mainstream sports media is so fucking garbage.
More like Slim-Fast, amirite?
Luka’s mentality has always been win now. Just ignore the mediaheads creating narratives to fill time. He’s not only getting in better shape because of Nico’s comments.
That was always a natural step for him to really dedicate himself more than usual. He’s an autodidactic basketball player, he gets better every offseason because he works on his game a lot and has the ability to keep adding & refining where a lot of guys have a much more limited ceiling on how much better they can get.
Is that Rob’s mentality? Or is he still planning for 26/27?
We should be swinging for a big trade then
One of the best 10 basketball players in the world who’s a year removed from making the nba finals wants to win now? Who woulda guessed 😂
Ayton is talented. If he and Luka get on the same page early… I don’t think nba fans realize the potential in that.
If Luka and Lebron 3-peat, MJ Stans heads are gonna pop.
What’s cool’s about this clip – and this is a total side note – is that this is a husband and wife talking to each other.
Every player, especially ones touted to be generational, always want to win. Luka or Lebron aren’t exceptions to the rule.
People talking about the difference between how the statements have been received by the media/fans have to understand that a lot of people don’t disagree with the win now statement. It was the passive-aggressive voice that the FO wasn’t doing enough to keep Lebron that rattled fans. Because you can’t act like you distrust the FO publicly even if you do because it all reflects on the trades they are able to make. That’s it.
If the team has a good run this year, LBJ will return. If they don’t, he could probably go elsewhere. I believe Luka is good enough to carry the team a long way and when you add pieces like Lebron, Ayton, AR and defense, you have a good chance always. Rest is upto injuries, match-ups and luck. And I’m sure Lebron sees that. Luka openly praised him yesterday and Bron has talked about how Luka is his favorite current player. It’ll all work out.
Finals baby
Side note – isn’t Dave married to Malika? It’s interesting seeing them at work together lol
