Luka a Laker/Mavs Misery

[PurpleHaze]

Did Monte even know this was out there and could have at least made a call to inquire about Luka.

“I believe that defense wins championships,” Mavs GM Nico Harrison told ESPN regarding his motivation to trade Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis. “I believe that getting an All-Defensive center and an All-NBA player with a defensive mindset gives us a better chance.

DID THE MAVS GM ACTUALLY MAKE A TRADE WHILE DRUNK??? You traded Luka for AD while you already have three other centers on your roster

 

[megapoxy]

Did someone hack the Mavericks front office and not Shams account?

 

[est.1999]

This is diabolical and has nba stepping in to make this deal happen all over it. If the mavs made Luka available the whole league would we calling with crazy offers. wtf is this nonsense??

 

[Tetsujin]

Nico Whoever is a worse GM than Vlade Divac.

Gerbil levels of incompetence lmao

 

[BenchMob]

thankfully we are done playing the Lakers this year lol

So now AD gets to play as a "4" , didn't he ask for the Lakers to trade a big? Well they traded Doncic instead... (ah yes and Maxi Kleber).

Gerbil levels of incompetence lmao

Even dumb gms won’t do this. Because they’d be too stubborn and afraid of the criticism for trading their best player. This deal has fraud written all over it

Wondering if the GM was literally being held at gun point while making this trade lol

 

[coolhandluke]

This feels like permission to stop following the NBA entirely

They are not even hiding it anymore. Might as well give a bye to the NBA Finals to the Lakers and “revive” the Lakers-Celtics rivalry.

 

[Sac.Kings]

What is happening? Never liked Luka and his antics but now in LA? Dudes going to be shooting 20 free throws a night.

Dude Boston would have given up Brown or Tatum for him. Minnny would give up Edwards.

 

[chief bromden]

Wow, unexpected.

 

[Sluggah]

Time to snatch up that long sought after backup center I guess.

That Lakers defense is about to be historically bad though. They also have no big men as of now and no picks to trade if I’m reading Fanspo correctly.

This is shocking to say the least

I guess Luka and his team knows how to quietly lobby for a trade in the second to last year of his deal unlike Mr. Fox because I doubt Dallas wanted to trade him.

I didn’t see this coming at all.

I do think Luka and LeBron’s games conflict so I don’t necessarily think they’re super better than they were but obviously that isn’t the point. They got their next superstar for the next several years and LeBron can always adapt and may do so.

Dallas should still be pretty good too if AD plays.

Now let’s see if the Kings can find a rotation player over 6’6” that’s better than Kessler Edwards

If Luka only cost AD and a pick, Daniel Gafford is probably worth one Slamson bobble head and a Diet Pepsi.

The Western Conference finals will be a free throw shooting contest between SGA and Luka. Apparently this will put an end to those horrible threes that are bringing down NBA ratings.

LMFAO

Luka Dončić did NOT request a trade, league sources tell @TheSteinLine.

The Mavericks did this on their own accord, getting back Anthony Davis but only one future first-round pick from the Lakers in 2029 for a 25-year-old regarded as a future MVP.

More NBA from me;… https://t.co/zL5E08wroD

No one is defending free throws.

This makes the overturned CP3 trade of yesteryear look downright even.

Would Mark Cuban have allowed this? Lmao

This lady moving the team to Vegas?

From twitter.... Mavs executives had concerns over Doncic health... so they turned to AD that never had such issues right? Antony "Iron Man" Davis.

 

[coolhandluke]

NBA is a joke. I hate both the Mavs and Lakers but can’t stand this tomfoolery.

Anthony “The Perfect Picture of Health” Davis.

If Luka fails the physical, it’s going to be funny for both teams.

 

[Tetsujin]

They traded LUKA DONCIC because they were tired of him being fat.

The NBA is crazy bro.
