I dont care if luka needs a foot amputated. How do you only get 1 fukking pick back?
That's the part that makes me suspicious and why NBA is always little bro to the NFL big bro.
This is like if the Bills traded Josh Allen to the Cowboys straight up for Dak Prescott plus some random draft pick. Not saying AD = Dak...but the value just doesn't make sense on the Mavs end. They could have made a deal with ANY team but just happened to choose the Lakers?
I get why Rob would make that deal...but why would Nico?
This has the Adelson's name all over it. Probably wanted a casino + arena in Dallas and the state of Texas said "fukk no" since the state seems intent on never allowing gambling. Probably getting paid $$$$$ by businessmen in Shreveport, NOLA and Oklahoma to keep gambling out of Texas. Oklahoma and Louisiana need the money a lot more than Texas does.
Really curious about the injury and Luka's conditioning. I hope there's something missing because right now it just looks like the NBA/Silver worked to make sure the Lakers stay relevant, post-Bron.
