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

[Rekkapryde]

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.

wouldn't shock me.

LMAO

THE 2 PLAYERS WHO HAVE WON
TITLES DONT HAVE THE "CHAMPIONSHIP GENE"



​

did you even watch those finals? had ad or kyrie been the #1 on those teams there's no way they win a chip. yall funny

91 points in halftime

If this is the energy of their players (even if its bench players mostly) then you might as well start rebuilding cause AD is not a locker room leader and mavs are demoralized.

This is like when Scottie won 6 rings and didn't do shyt as an alpha.

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

I get your point but this is kinda unprecedented breh, all NBA level players don’t get traded unless they want to be. I can’t think of an equivalent in the NBA where this has happened before on this level.

I mean, Luka is at worst, a top 5 player in the league, led the team to the finals last year and is a potential face of the league and they talked to no other team about it. Luka didn't ask out, didn't hint he was going to leave the first chance he got and he only wanted to play in LA.

Even if AD is the guy you want, it makes zero sense to not see what else is out there. Don't talk about this was a move for the future, 10 years from now, when your two best players are injury prone and going to be 32 and 33 at the end of the season and you have no control of your own picks for the next 5 years.


Kyrie scrolling interesting documentaries on Amazon right now.

GM already came out and said the owner laughed at him when he told him about the deal.

If they aren’t winning a chip anyway you probably shouldn’t trade for a player who’s 7 years older

Davis has maybe two years left in his prime 3 if you want to stretch it and they aren’t winning a title in that time

So in a few years you have 35/36 year old Kyrie and AD without having alot of your own future picks you’re in a sh1t situation

My only point is that we are not talking about some scrub or even some good player. We not talking about some really good, fringe all star. We talking the best two way big in the league (that actually plays) that is 32. We can say Luka is better. We can say that way they went about it was poor. We can say the rationale for even getting to this point is weak or downright stupid. Fine. But what we cannot do is act like the sky is falling when a team is getting 32 year old Anthony Davis.

The Mavs are basically run by a female now. Women don't make logical decisions.

 

[Black Excellence]

It’s not all about who is the better player. Luka is not better than AD overall while in the court imo. AD is so injury prone is what bothers me and the fact that he isn’t a true alpha leader. As a player you can’t tell me he isn’t a huge complimentary piece. He is not an alpha like Luka but he is a HELLUVA player. Dallas will benefit more from this trade especially in the short term if AD is healthy. I am a Bron stan but let’s be honest, they need some hello field defenders around a 40 year old and a defensive turnstile.

Just peeped Lakers gave up Max Christie too…this isn’t some lopsided trade people think it is.

Klay with classic 0 points performance so far.

He chose mavs over lakers just to end up seeing luka go to the lakers lol

 

[calh45]

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

I’m telling yall the NBa forced this deal

You're very much underestimating the idea of the expense cutting ideology that dominates how the current rich folks view everything they own.

They only look at numbers really and this screams that the Mavericks are about to become the A's of the NBA. TV revenue alone guarantees their return.

 

[GilSho]

These fools allowed 91 points at the half

Trade literally sucked the life out of their franchise yet they expect Street Clothes who's a nightly injury risk and couldn't get the Pelicans to the Playoff every year to turn this into a contender.

And Coli contrarians are actually defending this dumb shyt.
