Luka came in out of shape and got injured a couple of times. But this is kinda excessive, no?

Is there any precedent for this? Can one of the old heads weight in?

Top 5 superstar player in their prime signed long term. And the team just trades him.

Why not go for Giannis or Mobley if that’s the direction you want to go? I’m flabbergasted.

Nico Harrison treating Luka Doncic like he's Zion Williamson. At the very least Doncic has played in the playoffs and shown his worth.

Make it make sense.

Trading Luka with no notice is crazy. Trading him for a single FRP and AD is insanity

First they let Brunson walk; 2x All-Star and All-NBA

Now they trade the best player since Dirk? Are they high?!

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.

But Doncic is 25 and we've basically solved post Lebron now.

But how the hell are these guys gonna co-exist?

Who the hell is taking AD's spot? We literally have no big. Unless we're comitting to completely going small with DFS at the 5?


As a Lakers fan, how the hell are you not happy about this? LOL



Dude im shocked. It hasn't sinked in yet.

I really wanted to see us with a legit backup big alongside what we have now. But im ecstatic. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Still cant believe it to be honest. And people are right AD is injury prone and is prone to look lazy on offense.

We legit got a top 2 offensive player and i still cant believe it

GONNA MISS CHRISTIE!!!

IT WASN'T EVEN THE LAKERS WHO WANTED LUKA??? THE MAVERICKS OFFERED HIM???

Clearly Dallas still wants to win with Kyrie so they got him AD instead of rebuilding. What a gut blow to Mavs fans, this is truly terrible news.


Even if he asked out this is all they could get? The best return is an aging big who's always injured?


I'm asking the same thing man, it's absolute insanity. My initial thoughts.

1. Luka wanted out, and they thought this was the best chance to continue winning.
2. Luka wanted LA, so they took what they could get.
3. Luka's calf is worse than reported and the Mavs are getting off of him?

All I know is Luka or the Mavs had to of been the ones to decide this, as there is no real deal in the league that makes sense. They'd have to settle no matter what.

League needs to veto this trade, call an emergency meeting and be useful for once Silver.
But on the other hand, West just gotten easier to go trough. Maverics Luka was a contender, Luka on trashbin Lakers squad with grandpa Lebron is not going anywhere.
When the individual feels, the community reels.
