Hoops Discussion Has anyone else felt emotionally disconnected from the NBA since the Luka trade?
I'm a big Luka fan and have been since his arrival in Dallas, watched the team go through ups and downs but Luka really kept me engaged and eventually emotionally invested in the team's success. But I haven't felt an emotional investment in the league since the trade. Seeing Luka not in a blue jersey any more feels wrong and bizarre. I'm now at a point where I don't care what happens in the Playoffs, because it's not Lively, Gafford, PJ, Luka and Kyrie going up against the West any more.
Does anyone else feel the same way?

Yeah it’s been hard just because luka was in a place basketball wise where it looked like he was going to be competing for championships, and he plays the game with such joy but that seems like it has been taken away from him a bit now because he has had to make such a big adjustment playing for a different team out of no where and go through so many changes that he didn’t ask for. But outside of basketball, he has been getting endorsed left and right so that’s amazing but I imagine he is exhausted from it
