Wtf looks so fake. But who's going to play defense on the Lakers? AD was their defensive anchor, unless there is something else brewing this team is going to be awful defensively.

Man whats the point of watching the NBA if the Lakers are just going to get gift wrapped prime MVP players for lesser players?

There’s just no way.

Is this even good for LeBron though? I feel like they don’t fit well


The Lakers just paired old LeBron with Euro LeBron. I can't bet against that.

The Lakers have to have another move coming, right? Who plays Center?

They could have got much more if this was the concern, my god.

Shop him around!

Yeah I really don't get why they were in such a rush to get this done.

The bidding war for Luka would have been massive.


Spurs, Thunder and etc could have given like 8 or 9 first round picks for Luka.

Mavericks should lowkey be investigated for this. Trading a top-4 basketball player in the world who is only 25 years old and entering his prime for an aging star like AD is gross malpractice. Literally gifting the Lakers a top-4 superstar entering his prime. Beyond ridiculous.

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


I kinda cant fault them for trading Luka considering he hasnt addressed the conditioning problems and its led to more and more injuries and loss of athleticism. Rare moment of a franchise trading while the value is near peak

But they could gotten a bit more, but then again, there might be some more troubling things on his physicals that we dont know about
