Maybe there's more to the injury problems Luka has been dealing with than we know?

Why do this if youre the Mavs? I dont understand. I love AD, but longevity is my biggest concern.

Where does this put both teams in the standings.

This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen since following the NBA. Like it makes zero sense for Dallas. There has to be something behind the scenes.

HEEEELLL NO WTF....NO WAY THIS IS REAL????

Dude i dont understand...Like why would DALLAS do this?? And us giving up AD and Christie maaaaaaan i was hype looking at what we would look healthy plus a legt backup big.

No idea how we will look now.

Bruh you have no worries, you just got a guy that is probably #1 or #2 on GMs "guys to build around" list.

Honestly, trade LBJ as well and just build around the MVP guy


Yeah thats what the trade implies. But Bron has a no trade clause and i believe he'll be able to play a lot more off ball. I wanna see how they look together. Luka alongside Bron would be incredible on offense.

Defense took a big hit with Christie and AD leaving.

We're probably giving up on the season with this trade.

Look, I'm a Lakers fan and this is **** bonkers

Luka is 25!! AD is often injured and 31

Shams wrote:The Mavericks approached the Lakers recently and offered Luka Doncic, sources tell ESPN. Lakers brass met and believed the 25-year-old Doncic has the ability to be the face of their franchise for the next decade while giving Anthony Davis a win-now move in Dallas.


****, Luka didn't even ask out, they went and traded him without him asking

Marc Stein wrote: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.

The Lakers have to have a follow-up move in mind.

Forget the short term fit with Lebron. This is the coup of the century even if it doesn't help them win a single extra game this year.

How do you not call up Houston and grab Amen and picks? Turn around and trade Kyrie for more picks from LA? This is such a weird trade
