He's out of little Mogadishu, he can recover in endorsements.

Top 55 protected, naturally
This would be different if AD was 26 or 27, but the dude is 32 and made of Easter eggs. Luka not even in his prime yet either.

There is no rational explanation for this. At least not one if we’re operating under the premise that the NBA is a compe ive sports league and not just scripted entertainment.
Under the new tv deal, local fan interest has never meant less to a team’s bottom line. They’re all getting richer, regardless of the outcome on the court. So maybe, fans assuming that these teams are actually competing against each other is a dumb assumption. All the fans are suckers, I guess
So after a day to think on this, it makes even less ing sense than it did before.
After the way they lost in the finals, Klay was the perfect free agent signing. He has something to prove, has tons of playoff experience and will punish teams for doubling.
On Luka.
The statement from the Mavs sounds like the congressman explaining why he did the opposite of what you elected him to do.
I'm not fully invested in the NBA anymore. Tbh I would not follow the sport if Victor hadn't gone to SA. But even so, this trade puts a knot in my stomach. Either it's collusion or Dallas will win the lottery. Either way it badly wounded the last of the legitimacy the league had.
The only issue is...this benefits the ing Lakers.
You're saying so much about yourself unwittingly it's hilarious...
Keep doing you
Some of you should listen to the hoops collective podcast to maybe add some nuance and/or agnosticism to their theories.
The amount of simplistic and conspiracy theories scenario are astounding.
Man now I just feel bad for them.
Good for him for getting a good writer to put this together.
Worth every penny.
Yep this is 1000x worse than that. this is worse than 6 or maybe it's been to long for me to remember the pain? I'd honestly quit being a fan of basketball.
A Lively-AD pairing will be a terror on defense, and that is what AD wants, a center to play with him. AD can play ala KG on his latter years. BUT, Luka is top 5 player, this deal really smells fishy

yeah, i don't think so
Obviously apples to oranges but yesterday until today was like when the world got news of Kobe dying. Everybody just stopped doing what they were doing.
You dont trade Luka Doncic to pair Lively with anybody
lol people trying to make sense of this trade, come up with reasons why it was done.
Based on this trade a Wemby for Chet, a 2029 top 3 protected first and Ajay Mitc should be a very fair trade!
Lakers have now stold: Magic Johnson (didn't he threaten to hold out if he wasn't drafted by the Lakers or something?), Kareem, Shaquille O' Neal, Kobe Bryant (draft hold out), Paul Gasol (rigged trade), Lebron (does he count), and now Luka (rigged trade).
This has to be way worse than 6 for Mavs fans. I mean could you image the Spurs trading Tim Duncan to the Sonics for Gary Payton?
It's hard to find similar trade scenarios. I'm trying to explain to my older sister who isn't involved anymore, I said imagine trading KD in 2012 for Dwight Howard. Still not as crazy as this.
Feel like Duncan for Payton was the best comparison I could think of involving Spurs players. Payton a legend but at the tail end of his prime while Tim an all time great at the beginning of his prime.
