Shocking late night trade. As discussed in the other thread Cuban no longer has anything to do with basketball ops. The smells like Kidd

Mavs really that concerned about Lukas conditioning?

The Mavs not auctioning Luka off is absolutely insane.

I mean, seriously, that Mavs didn't even get the 2031 Lakers first in this one?

If they shopped Luka, they could have gotten some monster packages from other teams. Tons of quality first round picks. Houston could have made a much better offer. As could OKC. Philly if they offer Maxey. Sacramento probably offers Fox and whatever else Dallas wants plus picks. Orlando puts everyone on the table but Banchero. ****, would Boston put Tatum on the table?

This is one of the most shocking trades I've ever seen.

It’s malpractice at the highest level.

Reeves on the market now? He was playing well at PG, but him and Luka can't play together defensively

It's honestly remarkable that the best ESPN can do is Perk and SAS, two of the most clueless people on the network.

Surely if they wanted D, Houston could have given them a squad and picks, or Orlando or whoever.

I don't see how Dallas wins a championship with their current roster. They lack ballhandling and could have spacing issues.

Like if you are building around a guy like luka. isnt the strategy the old AI one? Surround him with guys who are elite roleplayers/defenders and maybe one other star? Like AD in that team would make a ton of sense. I guarantee the Lakers called about Kyrie and the Mavs said how about Luka lmao

WTF. I was so happy Lakers were irrelevant and had no way back to relevance without a gift. WTF is Dallas doing.

It has to be a Kidd thing. The head coach is the only one that would be unhappy about getting 5 future firsts back because they won't help right now.

If I were an opposing GM I would legitimately demand some sort of league investigation as to how the Lakers still have tradeable picks or picks swaps remaining after this deal.

Yeah if this got leaked that they were shopping him, a team like the spurs puts everything besides wemby on the table. How is this the luka package?
