Lakers acquiring Luca for AD

[Leetonidas]

This is one the most hilarious and all time worst self inflicted wounds ever. Seriously what the ing

[Dverde]

Good lord at least ask for Reeves and Davis

[tim_duncan_fan]

What the fuuuuuuuuck?

[RC_Drunkford]

I still think this is all about Luka not signing an extension. He has a player option end of next season. Lakers have max space on summer of 26. I think he told the Mavs he’s not signing the max extension.

he‘s not super max eligible anymore by being traded. Makes no sense

This is win now like me buying a gun is a revolution. Saying it doesn't make it so. Spurs could have definitely offered a better package because if you're trading one of the best players in the NBA for a dude thats old and oft injured you're not going to win now. I get that Dallas doesn't see it that way but considering they thought this trade was a good idea I think I feel ok thinking they don't know what the they are doing.

Look man, I'm not saying what Dallas did was smart... but they took AD and a single FRP. They clearly didn't want FRPs, we had no shot in this... this is like when the old lady down the street sells her dead husband's 1981 Porsche 911 Turbo in the garage for $1500. Yeah, you would have paid more... but that old lady didn't ask anyone else and she had her mind set on selling it for $1500 to the first person she called

[baseline bum]

Yeah whoever they are are ing re ed. I cant wrap my head around this bull

All Adelson gives a about it legalizing gambling in Texas.

The Lakers are the luckiest franchise of all time tbh

[spursistan]

Something really fishy about this trade, tbh. It smells like league just want Lebron to go out with story book ending while in the process they secure their pet franchise for the next decade..

[Spurminator]

They are playing great without Luca and Lively is out for a while. There has to be more that happened behind the scenes. If Fatty isn't sticking to his rehab they might have decided he isn't worth a giant contract.

They are most definitely not playing "great" without Luka.

Stupid Mavs. Lakers won't win anytime soon but their future is secured.

[scott]

Someone posted the other day that the Lakers hadn't made a rape-the-other-team trade in years... well, time to reset that clock back to zero.

[cutewizard]

Could be the start of a series of shocking trades as teams strive to adapt to this dynamic set of events

Meanwhile, when Luca plays.....interesting to watch him and LeBron with their respective ball-dominant tendencies

[Spurminator]

They jacked my Mavs season tickets up 30% this season and now they pull this . LOL this franchise

[scott]

I also don't understand the Lakers in the short run now... but they'll be able to figure it out eventually. But right now their team is also going to be a mess.

This is the kind of trade people suggest on Reddit and get roasted for

[NASpurs]

I guess we won't have to worry about the Lakers sniping Wemby when Luka is making $50 mil a year.

I think if you'll reread my first post that was my point though. lol At first I was upset, but then it became obvious they weren't making a rational decision.

[z0sa]

Why's it gotta be the in' Lakers, man.

[cutewizard]

Doncic is talented .....

But ....there is something lacking in him.....

Just an intuition......something crucial.....

Like ....if I was the Greek commander I wouldn't recruit him against Troy......hmmm

Well no one can about the potential Fox trade now cause it’s still better than what the Mavs just did.

[BatManu20]

Reached out to 3 different buddies who are all Mavs fans and they're all sick and extremely pissed (As they should be). This is insane. ing Lakers ALWAYS get rewarded with bull like this. Ridiculous.

[cutewizard]

It doesn't matter

Wemby is the megastar of this generation

The Spurs are blessed,

[mystargtr34]

Seeing more details on ESPN about how the Mavs were pissed with Luka’s weight and fatness and how his calf stains are due to his conditioning.

Maybe this is more similar to the Spurs-Kawhi fiasco where spurs didn’t want to commit super max money with Kawhi’s knee issues.

The difference is the Mavs got AD and the Spurs got Jacob Portal and DePression.

[scott]

Front Office show saying that Mavs and Luka had been discussing the SuperMax extension this summer, and the GM pulled an audible.

Wonder if the owner said " no way I'm writing that check"

Seriously how the is this even legal? lol I feel like I'm watching Dallas get raped.
