  1. Will be interesting when we revisit these comments in a couple of years.

    A) Follow the money, this is about gambling
    B) Dallas is dumb Luka goes to LA and becomes their franchise player for 10 years
    C) Dallas is brilliant and they knew Luka's body was trashed and he never gets back to an elite level
    D) The NBA is behind the whole thing and wants better ratings world wide and they moved Luka to LA

    Going to pick C based on the rule of taking multiple choice tests.

  2. Why does everybody speak about Luka and no one about Davis. Davis is a more useful player for the team, Davis brought a ring to Lakers !

  3. LeBron has not always been the best player on his team. In 2011, DWade was the best player in the Heat in the playoffs. In 2020, Anthony Davis was the best player in the playoffs. Since 2020, factoring in both sides of the ball, Anthony Davis has been the best player on the Lakers when he played. You have to remember that defence is half the game and LeBron has not played defence since 2017/2018.

  4. It got even worse allegedly knecht and another first were going to Dallas but there gm got convinced luka"s conditioning was so bad that luka was not worth that much

  5. Apart from maybe the conspiracy reason why Luka got traded to LA. Rob Pelinka may have simply agreed to this trade as he is setting the Lakers to move on from the LeBron-Lakers era, to a new future. One solution he thought of was agreeing to trade Anthony Davis and some compensation for Luka(that being Max Christie). I also think that the Lakers doesn't really want to build around AD after LeBron retires or switch to a different team for the last time. Kinda hurts for me as a Laker fan to see AD and Max get traded, and know that this may be LeBron's last season in the NBA, but this is gonna be Luka's team now. The management has to play their cards right this time and build a proper supporting cast around Luka. For sure they will emerge as the winner of this trade.

  6. Somebody high up in the dallas orginazation mustve had a shit ton of CP on a hard drive. This just seems like a blackmail deal

  7. A pissed off committed Luka is a chef kiss for Laker fans.

    Acussing someone of not being able play defence or not staying healthy is one good way of changing them forever.

    Jokic is not an athletic freak but defensively is top tier. Luka doesn't need to get faster he is a super smart player and csn just lock in.

  8. Imma keep it a buck. Theres gotta be more to it than his weight and the contract. U don’t trade luka ion care how outta shape he is. He’s still gonna get buckets. This probably got some behind the scenes sports politics involved anyone who’s ever played sports seriously knows what i mean when i say that ESPECIALLY at the college level. No way the mavs are thus stupid. I could be wrong but I seriously wouldn’t be surprised if there’s something going on behind that the scenes that we don’t know about. If mark was still heavily involved no way this would of happened

  9. “Lebron has never played with someone better than him” uh AD was literally better than him for the last couple seasons

  10. I think Mavs won the trade lol
    Think they have a better chance of winning the finals now. Granted they could’ve got more but i think they wanted a clean exit with no circuits shopping him around.
    If Luka gets a major injury it’s over

  11. I swear this was supposed to be kyrie but we just fell into a wicked ass timeline

  12. The Mavs were wasting him to be honest.
    And he is pretty fat and unathletic, I think the Mavs actually got the better end of the deal with AD who is awesome

  13. You have to take into account that, post LeBron, the NBA needs a new face. Luka is now the face of the NBA from a business standpoint. International scoring superstar.

  14. Mavs fans, time to leave! This organization is clearly not focused on winning and sent away OUR GUY because they didn’t want to pay him. Fuck Nico and the Adelson’s.

  15. “Zion didn’t deserve that stray. Seems like a nice guy. I wish him the best” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
