So the Lakers traded one first round pick for the Mavericks franchise player and one of the best players in the league that’s 25 years old?

Adam Silver isn’t even trying to hide the rigging anymore. Worst commissioner of all time. I hate that Mars Attacks alien looking mfer.

No matter how many times I've seen it happen over the last 30 years, it's still shocking to me how teams just give the Lakers generational prime talent for way under market value. Hard not to think it's scripted

This trade gives me hope that one day prime Victor Wembanyama will be a Knick.

Luka seriously pissed somebody off. No Super max extension and goes from tax free Texas to California taxes.

Take this with a grain of salt. From a Mavs fan I came across

Adelson familly bought the Mavs from Cuban and at the time the reporting was that Cuban had a deal with the Adelson's that they would bring their GOP/Republican connections to push for legalization of Casino's in Texas. Cuban would then get a part of the casino business when they build a new stadium. Adelson familly is by the numbers biggest Trump supporter, like 100+ million in donations to the campaign.

From reporting it has been extremely difficult to get the casion bill through and it doesn't seem like Texas officials are buying it.

So you pivot. How do you move a team to Vegas where your family has **** ton of connections? Kill the fanbase. How do you do it? This trade.

People stop buying tickets, stop coming to games and u go "Look we gotta move, nobody is coming" and u move that team to Vegas lol.


If this is even remotely true, holy crap.

He’s going to be a Laker. Bronny for Wembanyama will be the trade.

Thst would be diabolical. It's fun to laugh at others suffering in losses and trades but I truly don't wish losing your team on anyone.
