In a few years, one NBA franchise is moving to Vegas. My money is on the Mavs.
Wait till he Starts working out with LeBron
He met the qualifications for the supermax contract and was not given it…NBA need to check into that because want no player get the supermax in the future
Honestly it’s gonna be a fun last 30 games. Looking forward to seeing Luka and Lebron playing together.
1984 was my first year in L.A. 16 years later, I started working for the Mavs, and today, I'm rooting for both teams to win championships. Mavs sooner. Lakers later.
Dog can’t even say Lukas name 😂 also looks like he just woke up
Lebron got a heads up on this. They are trying to spin so he doesn't look bad for trading AD lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brian windddddddy is lying. Lebron knew…. he didn't want to look bad for trading his best bud AD. He also wanted more help lol. Klutch sports trying so hard to cover for Lebum 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lebum knew that's why he left Cleveland first cause they weren't listening and telling him. The. He left
Miami without telling Wade lol because he couldn't manipulate pat Riley
I'm not
Listening to this liar lol

I can't wait for lebron to leave so this can really start. And I hate the lakers. But the league needs the lakers to be a villain. Oh, and by the way, Jeannie did this as a power move to lebron. She took the power back from him.
SAs is Sambo talk
This conspiracy theory of these maverick (no pun intended) Mavs owners motive for trading Luka, (as wild as it sounds), is no different than the rest of the conspiracy theories: It becomes factual LONG after the aftermath! The fact that Windhorst used certain vehement hyperbole verbiage to downplay the controversy, ( sounds the same as certain media outlets which are notoriously known for gaslighting use), lets me know it's factual, only time will reveal it to be so.
How much Windy is denying that there is a conspiracy makes me feel like there's a conspiracy.😂
Ok…what if this unbelievable, nonsensical, surprise move, ACTUALLY is about BIG $$, a big (future) move, and not so much about One trade, but about setting the stage (literally) on a different STAGE…. DIDN'T MR. CUBAN sell the Mavs to a Super wealthy Vegas casino family? So who's above the players, the coaches, Mavs executive s-team CEO…..the NEW OWNERS!! HMMNN…the owners not Happy about no legal gambling and casino/entertainment (real estate building..). Vegas people buying Dallas NBA team for casino-sport betting portfolio, BUT CANT INCORPORATE THE MAVS ACTUAL ARENA INTO (have it connected with casino complex..) So…I know, sounds nuts..(cause it is!! and also could be true!…cause it AIN'T about Luka having a little weight, and when NOBODY KNEW OF CRAZY NONSENSE TRADE AHEAD OF TIME, plus look at the $$$ lost by Lukas potential earnings in Dallas with, if he stayed with them, SUPERMAX CONTRACT!! Trading Luka (stupid , not nice, to him or fans, or players, not nice or good for basketball 😡…but helps the Casino owners save hundreds of millions $$$ if they need to move a team somewhere ..where they can attach a 20,000 seat arena to the Physical casino building, where the ALDERSONS' businesses were born and multiplied!!! (iS he still alive, ?? Anyways…the family owners don't care about Luka, or the dreams of young athletes, or the players, or the city of Dallas and fans…they greedy hungry and even maybe a little pissed at the state of Texas for not passing certain laws to allow Sheldon Andersen empire to transform team into DALLAS MAVERICKS PONY BETTING AND SLAM DUNK SLOTS (open for casino gaming, food, players cards, and deluxe accomodation after tonight's game!). Mavs fans get special comps, food, and free spins with ticket stub, just follow the yellow 💰🏆🏅🏀 signs and pathways from court to casino floor…🥺
Yeah after kyrie and A D. Leave lol dallas just became a better team belive it or not in a sec luka gone be by himself ,just like labron was have to basically rebuild around him but he not gone be really beating dalles for the next couple years when ka retire and A.D. on his way out .lets stop here .
Missing the point… one thing to move on from Luka it’s another to not shop him and get the best deal you can for your franchise. Thats why the fans think there’s some kind of conspiracy with the new owners and the NBA.
LeBron trying to build Miami 2.0…smh…
The way Stephen A. can't pronounce this man's name should be motivation 😭
If Windy "confirms" there is no conspiracy that pretty much confirms a LeBron conspiracy, right?
the MAVS DID LUKA dirty all Luka has to do is Follow LeBron James and that will be A Champion straight up I am a certified hater of dallas mavericks
I honestly, think, the Lakers begged the Mavs to het him. His “out-of-shape” condition was simply used an excuse. The pay off , of simply swapping AD with Luka. I still don’t get
LeBron and Luka don't play any DDDDDDD. LUKA like to drink to much
I really hope luka 3peats 25,26,27
They let him go because they did not want to pay him. It's just that simple. They did not want to give him $345 million dollars max. The new ownership group is not Mark Cuban. The new ownership group does not really know Luca that well. They are casino owners in Las vegas. And beware, the Dallas Mavericks will be moving to Vegas soon.
I think Dallas got the best of the trade if they do get AD / Luka never in shape and he plays absolutely no defense
Only New York people pronounce dollars without the D and R a hunnid million ollas
Stephanie A Smith why you don't give LAMAR JACKSON that same credit ?
When they make it a point that it's not a conspiracy…
It's a conspiracy. This is an attempt by Mavs' new
ownership to try to legalize TX gambling, n they will
hold the Mavs for leverage. I believe this was not
a basketball move. Unfortunately, Luka n AD were
collateral damage.
Im DONE with the NBA…They did the Mavs fans Dirty 🎯💯
As a Luka fan and a laker fan I’m so happy the mavs did this lol
How S.A.S.? Because Miami and New York are not LA. LOL
I can’t stand listening to mad dog
Lawd have mercy… steven A had me laughing 😂
I hope labron rubs off quickly Because his time is limited. Lakers are not going to pay him 50 million dollars AGAIN after this contract. His best bet is to retire or be prepared to take a paycut. Lakers Nation has taken their Organization Back. No longer holding the Lakers hostage about if you're going to play or retire Decision Made Without You. Time For Him To Go
I always laugh when LeBron says someone’s his favourite player hahaa
The more I look at Mad Dog the more he looks like Skip Bayless 😂😂😂
Luka has a lot to prove pressure
Luka is just like Leabron always flopping all over the hardwood and always crying whining complaining and never playing defense
Sorry the Lakers are not the greatest club of nothing.
The Mavs tanking is the owner's plan. Get ready for a Las Vegas team in 3 years.
They’re really trying to not focus on the change in ownership and their plans.😂
When luka/trae and the following year JA got drafted….they all played with a tenacity/hunger that put the whole league on notice that the league was more or less SOFT and not ready for what they were going to bring to the table or DO in the post season once they got there….and now LUKA is gaslit to go scorched earth on the rest of the league with the lakers. DAL mgmt really honing in on "their side of the story" is only throwing fuel on the FIRE THEY LIT. May god have mercy of some of the guys that will have to guard him in the next few years. Media calls him luka magic…but now theyre going to see him go full Larry bird/sicko mode on the league. And the irony is DAL as an organization and their MGMT is largely responsible
Windhorst is losing credibility by INSISTING James didn't know!!! 💩
