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

[FTBS]

Yes, I won't go through all their assets but the Spurs have Atlanta's first round pick this year which is extremely valuable now with Jalen Johnson being out for the season. Plus two talented young players instead of just one okay one. The Mavs gotta win in like the next two years for this trade to considered fruitful. Mikal Bridges just went for 5 first rounders and all you could muster for Luka was Always Doubtful, Max Christie and a 2029 first rounder? Nasty work

I don't value picks like that . And if Luka is what we all think he is, then those picks ain't gonna be shyt anyway.

Mavericks Front Office can't be knocked for reading the entire room. It hasn't been peachy giving injury prone Superstars briefcases of millions. This is the dawning of a new chapter.

I don’t blame them for trading him. It’s what they got that’s the problem.

 

[FreshAIG]

AND HOW DOES THIS
HELP THE MAVS WIN NOW?

WHY IS THAT CONCEPT
GOING OVER YALL HEADS?

THEY WANTED A STAR IN RETURN
WHO CAN HELP THEM WIN NOW
NOT TRADE LUKA FOR SOME PICKS
THEY MAY NOT WIND UP
BEING shyt

Thank you. People keep missing the "win now" aspect of this. Regardless if fans think they can or cannot win, THEY think they can, so that's how they're going to approach the trade talks. With intentions of helping them win right now. Which AD does far more than a bunch of picks over the next 5 years.

I wouldn't have given you Trae for AD. The best I've would have given you for AD is 3 1sts, two pick swaps, Capela, and Bogi. I wouldn't give you Risacher, Daniels, JJ, or Trae and if I gave you JJ. I wouldn't give you no more than 1 unprotected 1st, max. That's for AD to Atlanta.

If you would have told me what it would cost to get Luka for the Hawks. Everything!

That's the difference in value. This was the NBA doing what it has to do to appease their media sponsors.

Everyone is on the table for Luka. Whatever Luka is okay to playing with is what we are keeping. What ain't is going to Dallas.

Didnt' Dallas initiate?

Mavs musta seen he was having a heavy Zion off season and cut bait.

They like find your own weight watchers rehab center we ain’t goin through this shiet.

 

[GunRanger]

No it’s not lol. Two teams can agree to trade with eachother.

This is looking like Kevin McHale gifting the Celts KG all over again

Luka is going to love that California lifestyle.

I know his wife probably happy. Good city to be a WAG

Spurs have 9 tradable firsts. If it's announced that Luka is on the market, Castle and Vassell would be packing their bags

Add in Jeremy sochan

 

[ECA]

They could have given Castle, Vassell and all 9 of those picks and none of them would ever be as good as AD is today

That's fine, those 9 draft picks can get you a superstar player like a Devin Booker or Shai or a Joker. You don't collect draft picks to draft potential bums, you use them in a package for stars. Preferably ones that aren't on the wrong side of 30 and have Bambi legs

Laker fans can never cry about that Chris Paul trade EVER again .

If they wanted to truly win now, then they keep Luka.

Quite clearly winning wasn't the priority in all of this, it came secondary to them not wanting to pay Luka. They could've easily had one last playoff run with him, and then traded him in the offseason, where they could've potentially got a better win now package than they currently got. And not only that but if they decide at the end of this season they don't want to win now, they could've easily traded Luka for a package that sets them up in the future.

They can't do either of those things now.

Wasn't 32 years old back then either and he's been criticized for his lack of motor in recent seasons

He’s averaging like 26ppg, and back then, he relied more on his athleticism whereas now, he’s more skillful

the one thing that is getting overlooked is that maxi kleber is no longer a maverick
