Kyrie and AD would have been a nice tandem….. in 2015. How tf does Luka and Lebron work? Who is there big now?

So Luka allegedly being 270 isn’t an issue to you? You’re also agreeing his weight does contribute to his injuries but it isn’t the main factor?
I'm calling bullshyt.

He was at the game the other day and didn't look any different. And let's say for argument's sake he was 270, so what? How is that in any way remotely comparable to someone who can't stay on the floor, has never been to the playoffs, and has a style of play where being overweight is a detriment to his health?

As it's already been pointed out - Luka being fat hasn't stopped him from being an annual All-NBA player and taking his team to the Finals.

They are not the same.

Besides, Luka needs to carry a little bit of extra weight to be an effective post player, otherwise, he could just as easily get a whole bunch of niggling injuries trying to post up all the time, due to overcompensating with a lack of size/weight. No different to Jokic who uses his weight to effortlessly move players out of the way.

People hate the Lakers so much that they gotta find flaws in this trade.

LA definitely won this trade, not just for this season and next season but for the foreseeable future and it's not even close.

AD going to Dallas to pair with Kyrie is a good team, no doubt, but their ceiling is lower than what it was with Luka and Kyrie. AD keeps them as a competitive playoff team, but he doesn't make them a championship contender, just a really good playoff-contending team.

Kyrie and AD aren't KD and Kyrie's level of championship contention; there's a reason why Mavs fans are mad because they know AD, aside from improving defensively, is somewhat of a downgrade overall. To say he makes them better than what Luka provided is coping and, in other words, saying Luka was a scrub. Nobody believes that shyt.

Luka, even with his conditioning and defensive flaws, is still a generational talent that you don't just give up on. That's like when people were saying to trade a rising star in Jaylen Brown, who had some flaws, for an older injury-prone Dame or KD, and the Celtics winded up being smart to stay the course with Tatum and Brown, and it's worked out great for them.
Dallas didn't think Luka was worth the investment. AD is being severely underrated in wake of this trade.

I'm a let this marinate and watch y'all cook tho

Went ahead and traded Lebron he got a no trade clause so it’s up to him
Low key, Lakers should do it. Bron gets them over the hump against Celts and Knicks.

Lakers get out of his hands plus they get some wings. Throw in a few first round picks and make it happen Rob Lowe
