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

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Dallas didn't think Luka was worth the investment.

All because they're cheap.

Not only cheap, but it's hilarious how they didn't think he was worth the investment when he literally has made the franchise 10x the money that a supermax is worth.

The scary/funny thing now is, this will set a precedent where the NBPA is gonna dig its heels in further with any future negotations, because players will make it known they don't wanna have their pockets fukked with just like Luka did. Mavs inadvertently fukked it up for the rest of the league treating Luka like this.

AD is being severely underrated in wake of this trade.

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

I think everyone can acknowledge AD is still one of the best players in the league, but he's not even remotely on the same level as Luka, and his best years are behind him, whereas Luka is just entering his. You can't just look at this trade in a vacuum for what AD will provide this season, but how's it going to look in 2-3 years time, when AD is basically a defensive role player and Luka will be at the peak of his powers?

The only way the Mavs make it out of this with any success, is with a championship this season, otherwise, it'll be a catastrophic mistake, in every sense.

Who turned on force trade

 

[FooFighters]

This is like if the Ravens traded Lamar Jackson to the Cowboys

I wish

 

[Copy Ninja]

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.

If this is the case, that fanbase is gonna be something furious

I listen to the Ticket on my commute and the way they talk about Luka he's already a legend over there.

Mavs did Luka dirty, he not supermax eligible anymore

Did him the same way the Kings did Boogie Cousins all those years ago..

I'm trying to think of a trade the Lakers do next

Rui/Knecht/1st rounder to the Jazz for Kessler/Sexton maybe

Reaves/1st to the Blazers for Sharpe/Timelord

Idk, just throwing shyt at the wall lol

 

[Dontdoit3]

Has to be the commissioner. This makes no sense lol

Y'all cats made the Finals last season all with Luka trying to drag the sorry ass role players across the finish line. Man if you don't get your goofy ass the fukk outta here.

Another instance of a SuperMax being broken and bad for teams and premium market gets top 5 player at a market discount.

Luka becomes SuperMax ineligible with this trade and Saves the Lakers a ton of salary.

Now, you throw in Apron rules... It exacerbate the issues.

SuperMax needs to be gone or reworked so that the extra money don't count against the salary cap.

That lady owner better hope she never shows up at the arena, the Mavs fanbase is about to watch Luka's best years in a Lakers jersey out of all the places, we might get a Dallas Luigi out of this, this is that type of crazy trade!

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

Might be the dumbest trade in NBA history.

 

[steph_harden]

Last bombshell trade of a superstar even remotely similar to this one was when the Jazz traded Deron Williams out of nowhere to the nets. And no one even had a clue he was even on the block.

This trade is that only on a way bigger scale…
