the video of the Mavs GM sitting next to Jason Kidd and Jason Kidd is contemplating life is fukking hilarious 
And with no one else, breh you already know it's some bullshyt. Always is. The NBA sometimes is behind this. Remember the KP trade. They wanted to get Luka a star to play with. Didn't work out but they tried. These deals always are just between the two teams and the prices is significantly lower than the market value, just know this is the NBA being a business. Nothing more, nothing less.
If Luka is on the open market, the Lakers would never be able to get him.
Cam Johnson gonna net more at the deadline when he gets traded

This was such a great movie.. how come they dont make R Rated movies like this anymore ?
Exactly! That's all you need to know. Dallas shops AD, you ain't getting no top 100 player for him.imagine the kind of package the lakers could get if they immediately flipped luka
LA shops Luka, they would be able to get Chet, Jalen, 5 1sts, three pick swaps.
The trade value is just insanely off based on the current market.
Fam you think the players are making bank and the teams aren’t? League revenue is split 50% so if the players are making more money than ever, so are the teams, a stoppage benefits no one
Also the team owners are the ones who pushed for things like the supermax and 2nd apron. Maybe they should’ve focused on the potential consequences instead of making stopping the Warriors their #1 priority
Nope, I would have said it's a good deal for the Lakers. They need more assets. They aren't contending as is.
He's also not 32. We just saw a flabbynsick Luka lead a team to a finals appearance
And throw in Hartenstein to make the money work
Luka done carried his team to the Finals, the WCF, on his back. He damn near beat Prime LAC by himself and you gonna compare him to frail Anthony Day to Dayvis
I think this is the issue. I am talking proven, actual players and it appears that everyone else is talking possibilities.
Yup. Kyrie has a player option for next year at $43M. What happens if he wants too much or decides to go elsewhere?
How much are they going to want to pay a 35 year old AD when he has a player option for $65M.
And people asking why Dallas would care about deals for the long term when Nico said this was a deal for 3-4 years from now, 10 years from now. Which is why people are questioning trading for a guy that's going to be 32 next month.
Like others have said, if you didn't want to pay Luka, you could've tried to win now this year and if it failed, offer him to the highest bidder. If healthy, no one would want to see that team in the playoffs.
Someone wants to say AD is a top five talent, I wouldn't push back on that at all, I'd agree with it 100%. But to me, there's probably a few guys in the league where their presence on the team makes that team a threat, regardless of what's surrounding them. They've got a mediocre supporting cast but they'll carry the squad on their back, average 42 in a series, show up in the clutch, make the team feel invincible because he's creating open looks for them and making things easy for them. Luka is in that small group, AD isn't. The Mavs are now led by two great #2s and I guess the hope is that there's a switch and Klay goes back to 2017 Klay for a month or so?
