Lakers acquiring Luca for AD

[spurraider21]

Watch Ainge inexplicably gift them Walker Kessler for a SRP now cause it, why not?

AD for Reaves and a 1st

[lefty]

wont be suprised if lakers trade knect or reeves for a legit center.Maybe kessler or poeltl or something.

Today is such a great day.

Americans and their life priorities…

did you really get Centel'd?

I do love how this trade has united SpursTalk. It's nice to have common ground and be able to revel in the idiocy of the Mavericks.

well it‘s easy to unite on this one. The whole world thinks it’s stupid except for the Mavs GM

Some of us mfs would be on suicide watch if Wright fumbled this bad.

Maybe, but I’m choosing to believe that’s real.

The trade was already too stupid (not shopping him around for the best deal; this is collusion, just like the Pau Gasol trade back in the day).

That’s before factoring in that Davis is brittle, and as a big, his issues will only get worse. In 2027, he (and most of the Mavs’ best players) will be on the decline—and they owe the following first-round picks:

2027 top-2 protected to Charlotte;

2028 unprotected swap to OKC;

2029 unprotected pick to Houston; and

2030 unprotected swap to SA.

This trade burned Dallas’ future to the ground for no good reason, when they could (and should) have gotten so much more. First Pau to the Lakers for nothing collusion. Then Luka to the Lakers for nothing collusion. Don’t be shocked if we trade Wemby to the Lakers for a bag of Doritos in two years. Fans need to revolt against the NBA and the Lakers. Boycott every Mavericks game and Lakers game.[FONT="][/FONT]

geez
I tried to wrap my head around this looking at as Mavs try for a couple years, then rebuild.
It was a weak explanation
But now they have no future and really an outside chance of conference finals

[LeBowen]

Props to that guy for staying professional, I would've told the ownership to themselves.
A little haggard

Largest defeat in NBA history is 73 points. Let's do it Cavs.

There is difference on the scoreboard for people that cant math

Klay... but I kind of feel bad for Klay. He just got rug pulled harder than Trumpcoin owners

JKidd looks ing despondent

[TD 21]

- As ludicrous as this trade is, seeing too much of Doncic being portrayed as some sort of victim and Davis not as the current top 10/all-time top 50 player he is.

- Washington is crucial because Davis will have to still play at least some C and close at it.

- Reaves is superfluous now offensively and untenable defensively, yet given James' age and the fact that they have enough assets leftover to acquire a starting C, he probably stays.

You need to learn about argumentation

If the only thing u can do is go at people rather than use ARGUMENTS

There’s no point arguing with delusional people. I also don’t argue with flat earthers either.

[Fat Brandon Bass]

This just proves the NBA is 100% rigged IMO. Either to keep pumping up the Lakers or get the Mavericks to Vegas, or both.

Not even the biggest re in the world would trade a superstar entering his prime that just led you to the Finals for a post-30 injury prone, borderline all-star and a back of chips when they could have gotten way more. There's no other explanation. They literally just traded a 10 year window of building around a superstar for 1-2 years of a second round ceiling. Anybody who is a general fan of the NBA should be pissed.

nba viewership is down across the board, the league needs the lakers to be popular. i'm only surprised it took this long for them to make a basketball move

[Tyronn Lue]

No one knows what's going on between Luka and the front office and given the with Jimmy Butler in Miami, perhaps Mavs management wants to curtail the "who blinks first" . You never know. It's not the worst thing in the world to have Anthony Davis. From a branding perspective, there's going to be some hurt feelings and team loyalty issues. However if AD does well with them it won't take long for fans to move on from Luka, unless he s on them on the regular.

I've been surprised weekly that Joker is still in Denver.

Luka can no longer get the Supermax correct?

Correct

Maybe they'll trade him to Boston for Porzingis and a 1st and the league can recreate the LAL BOSTON rivalry.

Psst, lakers need a center

Wouldn't that be a stinker?
