Who cares he sucks. If he was a Pelican instead of a Laker no one would know he existed. Just another LA overhype.

Re: ** Official 2025 Trade Deadline Thread **
My issue with this for the Mavs is not that they traded Luka, it's that they traded him for a 32 year old injury prone AD.

The fact the Mavs DIDN'T open up a bidding war for Luka is 100% proof this was rigged by the league to get LA their next star.

Lol you are clueless. Kidd can't stand Luka no D flops and constant whining and told the owner to trade him for AD cause he loves his game when he was as assistant with the Lakers, so you can bet he is happy now. Mavs easily won this trade as they are now the favorite to win the ship!Arsenal wrote:NYSixersFan wrote:My issue with this for the Mavs is not that they traded Luka, it's that they traded him for a 32 year old injury prone AD.

You're the clueless one. In the history of the NBA when a young superstar player and coach don't get along, it's the coach who gets fired.
Unless it's RIGGED.

Seeing Luka traded… almost seems ridiculous Embiid wasn’t traded before that extension this summer.
always a jump shot away.

It might be one of the worst trades ever unless there's some significant unknown. But there's so many more questions if it was rigged.Arsenal wrote:WentzerWuver wrote:Sorry but you are clueless. Mavs didn't want him.Arsenal wrote:

Why would Dallas OK it? Why Now and why Luka? Like why not one of the other superstars especially when they were asking out or get a better draft pick when they were in the lottery?

Your suspicions are correct. He has been disqualified from the GOAT conversation, regardless of how the rest of his career pans out. Also, henceforth, he can no longer be considered a franchise-player.

Calling it rigged with no source as proof makes you more of a troll when I provide actual links to prove otherwise. Mavs has a good chance of winning the ship now with AD instead of a flopper who whines for calls.Iscull wrote:Arsenal wrote:WentzerWuver wrote:Lol you are clueless.

You act like AD is a scrub when the Lakers gave up like 7 1st round picks and young players like Lonzo Ball, Ingram and Hart for and now had to give up another unprotected first for Luka.

If a trade like this can happen, then a PG trade can happen as well.

Re: ** Official 2025 Trade Deadline Thread **
Just found out about the trade. Shocking but hardly surprising if that makes sense. The Sixers along with a number of other teams could have easily beaten that offer for Luka if they had a chance. But it's the Lakers so they are allowed to acquire stars for dirt cheap.

Adam Silver isn't stepping in and helping the Sixers unless Harris mentions he might be open to moving to Vegas.
The Mavs could have set themselves up for the next decade with the haul they could have gotten if they opened up a bidding war for Luka. This whole thing stinks to high heaven, but then at this point who is really surprised by anything that goes on in this league? LeKing probably inspired the 10-minute quarter foolishness, and he has his sights set on reducing 3-pointers as well.

Re: ** Official 2025 Trade Deadline Thread **
The Sixers should be brave and stir the hornet's nest, as the Mavs have done, although Dallas has much less motivation. I wouldn't have moved Doncic, but the season is not good, and Doncic is missing a lot of games due to injury, plus his lack of discipline, work ethic, and not sticking to his diet have worn on the Mavs patience. They have been brave and taken the risk. I've been saying for a long time that the Sixers need to be brave, and move Embiid for high upside players and future picks. Immobility leads to mediocrity, which is what the Sixers are right now, mediocre.

3 years? He played 56 games in 22-23...
He was healthy last year, and has been this year (though, ironically, is currently injured).

Even if the mavs were “frustrated” with Luka, you still hold out for a better package than this. This is abysmal.
