I dont think I can recall one, atleast not in this millenium

So it's official? LOOOOOOOOOOOL the heist of a century.

Build around Luka and maybe trade Lebron?? Unless they wanna see how they work together. I think Bron can play off ball a lot more now.

Holy crap. If we can find a decent big this team will be crazy on offense.

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

Can't blame Cuban for this one.. Their new ownership looks either dumb or incredibly cheap.

Or maybe they know something is going on with Luka and they are getting ahead of it before news breaks? Like this dude is in the beginning of his prime. Did he kill someone and it isn't public yet? wtf.

apparently either Mavs GM thinks AD is the next wilt and Luka is next westbrook or Cuban is getting married to Jeanie Buss

Yeah either Luka wanted out, Luka wants to play with Bronny (lol), or the Mavs are tired of him or scared of his injury. It's still so hard to say.

I can't believe this :o

I love Doncic and I don't like the trade because Lakers don't have assets to build a good team around him. I think he doesn't fit well in the current Lakers roster.

Dallas starting lineup is scary. PJ, AD a Gafford should provide an elite defense. Roster is more balanced now but they will not have psycho-playoff Luka anymore.

Kyrie-Klay-PJ-AD-Gafford

I can't even imagine the Lakers starting lineup now.

I remember when the NBa nixed that Chris Paul to the Lakers deal. This is 10x worse and makes the NBA look scripted if true.

Any team could have given them more than the Lakers lol

Wow. Lakers cashed out high for AD. Even though the fit with Lebron is suspect now, they ensured relevancy for the next 5 years with Luka.

I'm not seeing anything that makes sense yet. I haven't been this confounded since Gary Payton for Ray Allen and a 1st. Obviously, Luka is another tier, but I can't make the value make any kind of sense. The 2 sides of the value equation don't seem to be anywhere close.

I'm assuming Reaves will be traded for a big because the Lakers literally have no big man.

They're scared of Luka's injury and proceed to trade him for Anthony Davis?

There’s no other way it makes sense. This has to be the worst trade in sports history.
