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.
I mean there is this 90% of the salary cap/50% of revenue thing in the cba. And AD is making 60ms next year.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.
This ain't the 80s no more stars don't need to play in Los Angeles to be relevant so him going to LA willingly idk about that..That's not even bringing into account the tens of millions of dollars he's gonna have to pay now in California state tax he wasnt paying in TexasLet’s be honest. Luka was probably Leaving for LA in two years anyway. Mavs probably caught wind and traded his fat ass.
Probably should have at least gotten a few more picks but the Lakers don’t have much anyway.
This Mavs team is built to win now. Two years of prime AD and Kyrie with a good supporting cast, not that bad honestly
