Ok and a signed cardboard cutout of Stephon Castle with a notarized letter of authenticity. Im just worried at this point if Monte folds completely on Castle our organization isn’t going to be taken seriously around the league.

At this point I’m not sure what the trade market looks like at all so any return that doesn’t make us send picks out is probably a win lol

I mean, not really. Because it's us involved, Castle's been made out to be this "next SGA" prospect and some can't miss guy that 100% will be an All-NBA player. In reality, he's a good prospect, with great measurables that has a long way to go for his game to really impact winning.

Luka is lazy and getting fatter each year. He is not putting in the work a relies on raw talent that some fear is gonna get past by his approach to the game. In other words some feel we have seen the best of Luka already if he doesn’t change his ways

He literally just lead the Mavs to a finals appearance. Lazy PR spin from the Mavs to try and justify this

Working next to LeBron James, the ageless wonder, might actually influence Luka in that direction.

It seems like some people doesn't realize Cuban is no longer the Mavs majority owner. He would have never signed off the trade.

When hubby told me the trade news I immediately said WTF is Cuban thinking????? Are you kidding me???? Thanks for reminding us that he gave up his majority owner. And like many have already said Fox isn’t going to bring us anything for sure now SMH

If this happened can you imagine what’s next coming down the line?????

I can see the reasoning for the mavs trading away Luka but for what they got back for him? No Way. They could have called up any team in the NBA and got back way better than what they got back from the lakers. If silver has any balls at all he would find a reason to veto this trade for the good of the league.

It is just a plain bad look for the league, like when the league run NO tried to trade Chris Paul in his prime to the Lakers for nothing. You are basically telling fans of all the other 29 teams that this league is fixed and you just want to make the Lakers a great team again.

They should have at least thrown in a couple of 1st round picks and a few pick swaps with this damn trade, to make it look real and not contrived from the league offices.
