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

[Fortunate Lee]

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 by trying to overcompensate with a lack of size/weight. No different to Jokic who uses his weight to effortlessly move players out of the way.

Agree somewhat. Jokic always start heavy, but he clearly slims down during the season.

Also:

Doncic has only played 70 games twice in his career so far. He basically misses between 16-25 games every year.

Jokic only has 1 season with less than 70 games played

GIF of the year.

My first time seeing this.

 

[MikelArteta]

It's 100% because of cheap ownership not wanting to give him super max, the weight is just to get some bs excuse out the way.

Cheap ass Adelson
Why are we paying a foreigner all that money when we can an American you explain that to me :troll;

I am sure Lakers FO will never do him wrong but I dont think they will trade him for bunch of role players, I know they would never get an Evan Mobley in return lol. But they will definitely try to get some picks or something.

Oh yeah it gonna be one first round pick and a 2nd round pick from the Cavs to the Lakers. That way yall can get Walker Kessler from the Jazz. Two first rounders one from the Cavs and one from the Lakers and salary should be enough for the Jazz.

When's the last time a guy that has made 5 straight all NBA 1st teams get traded without there being some whispers beforehand?
Mavs must know something. The pessimist in me wonders if he has an Achilles injury? He's had two calf strains since September. Remember when Kevin Durant had "calf strains"? Or maybe they didn't believe he gave them the best chance to win a title.

Lakers should shut him down for the year. Maybe that will force Bron to retire next year.

Or ask for a trade to the Clips or Golden State.
I doubt the Clips would take Bron but Golden State would do it for Wiggs and a big.

Dwight Howard

Dwight over that bum kleber any day

 

[Ozymandeas]

This nikka LeBron has played with like 5 superstars at this point.

 

[steph_harden]

To trade him at all is insane but how do you not even let teams bid for him?

It’s like they wanted AD more then anyone else in the league lol

They’ve wanted AD for years…()

Once AD get over the shock he’s going to love his situation. He only asked for one capable big to play alongside. He’s got 2 in Dallas. He won’t ever have to play center again.

He no longer has pressure on him to be the number 2 scoring option. Hes got elite shot making and shooting all around him. He can just shut down the paint and get his 20 and 10.

Best possible situation for him

 

[Dontdoit3]

Whaaaaaat????

 

[bigde09]

This is probably the most anger I've ever seen from a fanbase after a trade

They got Delonte West running the Mavs

 

[The G.O.D II]

What is the Mavs cap situation looking like? Why would you not want to pay an international superstar and your greatest player since Dirk? There has to be more to this that no one is saying. AD, a bench player, and a first? Rudy was worth four 1st. Bridges 5. wtf is going on?

 

[bl2k8]

Lebron finally reacted

Sports just a big ass male soap opera I believe him though I don’t think he would sign off on this

 

[Geordi]

I still remember when the Knicks traded Hoezingis to the Mavs out of nowhere. Now they feel my pain 1000 times over.

yo I forgot about that shyt. I feel better about them crashing out now lmao
