White is white, who really cares.
Exactly. AD Is a damn good player when healthy and Mavs still have a shot at a le here…but still an outrageous trade from Dallas on every level
White is white, who really cares.
doubt you're as big of a donut fan and laker hater as i am, but fair play
It's anti-compe ive in a sense, too, as Mavs didn't get more of the Lakers' assets for him. They still stand on a lot of draft picks. It's not good for the league or balance.
as a slovenian, i agree
What makes you think the league wants compe iveness?
I wonder who hired the Mavs GM? Was it new ownership? I need a timeline of the hirings cause Cuban would never
I was joking. Should have put up the blue font.
Makes our Luka situation not seem so bad now.
it assumes kyrie irving plays the pick and roll, which he doesn't
12 hours later and the shock still hasn't worn off . The Mavs really traded away a top-3 player in the world who's just now entering his prime for an aging AD and ONE FRP. Literally gifted him to the worst, most insufferable franchise/fan base on the planet.
Like what the actual. the Lakers so goddamn hard forever and always and twice on Sundays.
Davis will play more nominal PF, but I've got to think a Gafford (Lively III?) trade is coming to both decongest the front line and add ancillary ball handling/play making.
Either way, their puncher's chance at a championship is gone and even though the Lakers now have a conceivable path to one, they're eons away from it, with limited resources to get to it.
Still obviously an all-time no brainer though given the age gap/limited secondary assets given up.
How many good years is Dallas getting out of AD? Like maybe 3 if he's healthy. I mean i also get that Doncic is a fat but even him at 50% is still better than most guys in the league and they just moved on from him like it was nothing.
Once AD gets injured again, trade him back to NO for Zion.
lucky if 2 tbh
This means we can get Fox for Keldon and the charlotte frp. Lakers get away with so much bs. Spurs would have traded their 6 frps for Luca. All their players too except Wemby and Castle.
He's gonna get way more than that in tax cits
Spurs would've absolutely traded Castle for Luka. Literally anyone but Wemby. Trade would've been Castle + Vassell + Keldon + whoever + 6 FRP's & FRP Swaps
Do the owners have any hot daughters that Luka smashed bc this clearly came from ownership.
Maybe Luka was opting out and the owner said they weren’t gonna pay him the super max and the GM was like well
This trade just makes zero sense even if Luka was the laziest piece of . He was still 1st team all nba. Led his team to the finals. And is only 25.
it still doesn't make sense, because why would you trade for a failed 2nd banana in the twilight of his career when you could get almost any asset in the leaague
No, it doesn't![]()
If the Spurs have any reservations about paying the Supermax, then Wemby is as good as gone tbh.
If the Lakers can get Luka that cheap Spurs need to be on the phone to Minny to try to get Ant for Vassell, Sochan, and the Charlotte first.
A secret trade negotiation for one of the top five players in the nba? A significant player being investigated by the fbi for anti compe ive/gambling activities directly impacts the sport, after being cleared by the league? The commissioner just throwing out there the idea shortening games for the of it? Talk of expanding into/creating a sister league in Europe? A blatant money grab presented as an “nba cup”?
There is so much shady going on with the nba now. This league is less and less a sport, and more just pure entertainment.
I mean in terms of the other teams and GMs. The front office wants the Lakers show. I remember David Stern outright saying he wanted the Lakers to play the Lakers in every finals.
And yet it's the least corrupt part of our society right now.
