Gafford Davis Lively will eat every rebound

And this is how they’ll be guarded

AD has never done a thing as the top guy and is 31. Lakers are set for 6+ years. There is no world where Luka should be going for less picks than donovan Mitchell. Theres a reason every exec is shocked thats all dallas got.

Yup
This would be like two years ago thunder treading Shai for Paul George

Kyrie is NOT a point guard. I won’t even comment on thr leadership part bc maybe he’s grown. But Luka, like Lebron, and even harden in those dozen games they played together, are grade A facilitators that let Kyrie be Kyrie.

You now have a team where 5 of your 6 best players can’t pass or dribble :dead:AD, Lively, Klay, PJ, and Gafford.

Unless Luka has some kind of chronic unreported injury, this is easily the worst trade in the history of the NBA.

Mavs need to come out the gate as a juggernaut in the West or Dallas fans are going to want the GM's head on a spike.

This might open the floodgates now, if a team didn't want to pay Luka doncic that gwap then why would a team want to give a Scottie Barnes all that bread when he's done nothing for example. Screw it blow up the whole NBA let's see Zion, Embiid, Butler, fox, beal, Kawhi etc on the move

For once the Lakers sold when the value was high. It's a smart deal. AD will fall apart in two years, and lose motivation without Bron. You don't want him to be the face of the team. Players will be begging to come to LA to play with Luka.
Nobody wants to play with Luka.

I don’t like the trade for Dallas on its face but I’m not in the building and there is obviously something else to it .

You can’t just downplay the conditioning and injury thing like some posters are doing though..it’s not just being fat . It’s the fact that now his calf is showing weakness which leads to other more serious problems . They know Luka better than anyone else on the planet so if they’re hesitant there is a reason to be in their mind .

Just calling the ownership cheap is just lazy talk ..

Luka isn’t a free agent .. they could’ve did this in the summer but they didn’t wait.. it’s a combination of not wanting to commit to him financially and believing he could not come back this year and replicate last year with a stronger supporting cast.


I do like the fact that they didn’t just throw the money at him and hope like most franchises do with their players .. .. New Orleans looks even more pathetic now.. imagine being held hostage by Jimmy Butler or Fox . Dallas was cold with it .. whether they’re right or not is to be seen

For the lakers I obviously get it .this isn’t just about this year. It’s a short term on court L in hopes it solidifies their future
