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
It's not lazy talk when it essentially boils down to that.

Luka has had perceived conditioning issues for years now, that hasn't stopped him becoming one of the best players of the modern era. The new ownership don't know Luka better than anyone else, and that's largely why they ended up trading him, because I imagine that they don't completely know the full extent of the value he has to the franchise (or they do and simply don't care because they wanna save money).

Luka's issues are down to his body being overworked because the muh'fukka doesn't have an offseason. He plays hoops all year round. His injuries are not some degenerative shyt like Kawhi's.

He's only 25.

If they truly believed he can't replicate what he's been doing going forward, they deserve all the shyt that's about to come their way.

All ima say is the Mavs know him better than any other team and got rid of him quickly. They’ve seen him at practice, in the facilities, how he carries himself over the past 6 seasons.

Calf issues continue to linger especially if you have weight issues like Luka. :sas2:

Lakers got an offensive anomaly, historic scorer….but the Mavs know something everyone else doesn’t. Nico could be on A1 perico but I feel he’s on to something.

I don't follow NBA much but this could be it. Rather than throwing the Max at someone you're not fully confident in over the next X amount of years then a decision needs to be made.

Breh it's stupid. You could have done this exact trade in the offseason . You made the finals last year. Now you got a 34 year old Klay
33 year old kyrie and 32 year old ad
