    That roster would look nice if cir stances were normal.
    But like this? Mid-season trade, noone knew , Klay and Kyrie went there specifically because they wanted to play with Luka.
    Not to mention fans' reaction and outrage, impossible environment to play in.
    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

    He's not Slovenian. He's Serbian and Croatian. I know y'all Americans also think Africa, London and Paris are countries, but y'all should learn some geography
    White is white, who really cares.

    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.

    I think it's time Popovich lives upto his Slovenian roots and the Slovenian mafia among the Spurs fans help out in getting the Luka in 2026 to the Spurs thing happen.

    In a weird way this does make the Mavericks better for a le run THIS year (not even next year). might even put down some money on the Mavs this year at 33-1. But man to give up a player with at least 6 more seasons of all nba 1st team for an injury probed 32 year old who will never make it again after this year is beyond shocking and stupid.

    They had to have told Luka that he wasn’t getting his $346 million extension if he doesn’t show up to camp in shape and he just balked at them. In a 90s type of way I like the owners finally standing up to lazy ass players. And as a Spurs fan I love what the Mavericks did
    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.

    You are probably right. But I think having Kidd as a coach will be an important factor for this year. He already has Kyrie’s ear. That relationship is solid. He needs to some how figure out a way into ADs head and get him mad at the world and play like it. Also AD will be a PF like he has been begging to be for the past 4 years. Idk. I can see them going to the WCFs with the right bracket. OKC one, Denver stays 4. Who is Dallas really not favored over if they’re the 6th seed?
    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.

    Price of trading for other players has gone down. No way other teams can pretend they can try to ask more than what the Mavs got for Luka
    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.

    To be fair, how is Adelson supposed to afford Luka's supermax after she just paid Trump $100 million?
    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

    increases both tbf
    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.
