Luka Doncic traded to Lakers for Anthony Davis (Shams) He might be hacked?? IDK* ITS REAL DAMMIT

[SchoolboyC]

Why would the owner get rid of their cash cow?

Cause a supermax for Luka when his contract up will be like $70 million a year AAV

If they think they can have a smaller payroll and still be competitive enough to sell out tickets and get playoff revenue, that's enough for an ownership group that mainly views the team as an investment piece

Ayooo is this dude trying to get fired and blackballed lmaooo. Wtf is wrong with him?

 

[O.T.I.S.]

The not talking to any other teams is VERY problematic.

You made up your mind that you can't win a championship with Luka, cool, but YOU HAVE TO SHOP FOR THE BEST DEAL POSSIBLE!!!!

I agree

Getting AD is big.. but tbh they could’ve got more probably. Could’ve even got another rising star in his prime.

Not many markets bigger than LA though. I know everyone in Dallas is pissed and everyone on the Lakers (who matter) are pissed as well.

Laker fans on the other hand idk. I think Luka will enjoy LA especially after Lebron bounces and he’s the only guy. Luka is going to try to destroy Dallas though.

Dallas as a team is in shambles too.. I’m watching the game now and

If this AD deal doesn’t work out though Nico is gone gone

NBA doesn’t work like that. Superstars are what works

You make that back with Luka and you trade other players to get under the apron

New owners just seem cheap. We know Cuban wouldn't have even entertained this but he has no power now as a minority owner. They didn't even tell him until afterwards.

You can be cheap with Luka and a bunch of scrubs.

I’m telling yall the NBa forced this deal

You're trying to be rational about an irrational decision

Prove it

Why would the owner get rid of their cash cow?

Why would the new owners let the NBA run interference and force them to get rid of their cash cow?

 

[FakeNews]

These fools allowed 91 points at the half

Mark Cuban is just an employee now.

this aint the Chris Paul joint where the NBA literally owned the Hornets/Pelicans at the time.

The new owners own the Sands Casino resort in Vegas. That's the endgame. Move the Mavs to Vegas.

shyt like this tells me that the only people in the organization who spoke about the trade was Harrison and Miriam Adelson.

Shyt like this is what will fcck franchises over for the long term, especially when you look over what both Cuban and Adelson did prior to last years election.

Not trying to make the thread political, but it low key feels like that.

 

[VegetasHairline]

NBA didn't force anything. Some front offices are just that dumb and inept.
