Luka a Laker/Mavs Misery

[iowamcnabb]

Interesting, why would Luka not sign the super max for a team that made the finals last year?

Dang 270?

At 6'7" Doncic should be closer to 240. He must love Texas BBQ and all those famous giant T-bone steaks

he said get me some help and they said, go away https://t.co/eBby4BgaZU

Bro didn't know "get me some help" is code word for "trade me".

 

[Double-K]

They say it involves a 3rd team in Utah... maybe Dallas is getting Lauri too?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

He's still the one that made that video because the Kings drafted Marvin Bagley. He's still gunna hear about it lol glad to know people get at him over it

Two videos!

Perfected by James Harden.

Now people can see what actual malpractice looks like

or one too many slices of Slovenian Meatloaf

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

The NBA is crazy bro.

in that case, Zion’s days are numbered lol

Welcome to Sac town Zion! I’ll take him to Mimosa house for some fresh beignets, just like home.

Huh????????

That’s what I said when the Wizards signed Richaun Holmes for $13 million per year in the same offseason they landed Jonas for only $10 million.

 

[Tetsujin]

Dallas had contacted several teams this week, looking to reroute additional salary for a potential three-team deal, sources said.

A bunch of teams knew inklings about the Mavericks being close on a trade.

Nobody knew it was trading Luka Doncic.

He's not still on our contract?

 

[iowamcnabb]

He's not still on our contract?

crazy for some reason I thought the same thing. He averaged 7 points a game last year and the wiz gave him 12 mil. He doesn’t play either. wtf

 

[Kingz19]

He's not still on our contract?

lol no, they re-signed him

I was watching the match, the last 5+ minutes of game time (15-20 minutes of actual time) the Doncic trade was the only thing they were talking about. They even had an analyst in sort of split screen to confirm if it's real since at first everybody (like here) thought someone hacked Shams.

 

[Kingz19]

If 270 is true that is Zion territory without most
of the muscle mass.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Luka Doncic has not played since Christmas Day 12/25/2024. His leg injury is said to be almost heeled and could play in a week - for LAL.

 

[megapoxy]

So if this trade was to be done at the last day of the deadline, many trades would fail to accomplish later on cause everybody would be shocked.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Maybe I’m stupid, but is there a reason not to call Miami and see if a Jimmy Butler trade for Luca could be worked out? I mean if you really want it out from under his contract at least Butler can play full season and stuff… I mean, does Pat Riley have an unlisted phone number or something?

Sounds like the Mavs really did want AD. I get the reactions, but AD is still a legit all star/borderline franchise player whereas Butler is at the tail end of his career.

No super max for Luka.

Vecenie thinks probably a 2+1 extension for him

 

[iowamcnabb]

I haven’t heard from my father in 8 years and he texting me about this

[AaronPDX]

So Luka, by being traded tonight, is no longer eligible for a Super Max deal this summer, thus losing over $100m and no idea it was coming. Wow.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Kareem, Shaq, Lebron, AD…..now Luka.

Lebron in the twilight of his career, League ensures torch is passed and Lakers stay relevant

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Vecenie thinks probably a 2+1 extension for him

he entered in 2018 so he can't get more money until his 10th year I don't think, so may as well sign 3+1 or 3+2 if that's allowed?

 

[hrdboild]

As long as he's still a superstar in a few years, he'll get all of that money back and then some in his next deal.

I laughed so hard at the end... I leave it spoiler free in case anyone wants to have a laugh too.

"It's crazy man. I really don't know what to say about it. Luka being a guy that everybody has claimed is untouchable and untradeable. The NBA shows you again."
