Just as Lebron is about the retire the Lakers get bailed out with a 25 year old superstar.....must be nice. He gives them at least another 5-10 years of playoffs.

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.
This season doesn't even matter. Lakers solved their post LeBron future. Getting a star is the hardest part of a rebuild and they just got top 3 mvp candidate that hasn't even entered his prime

I believe this is a fired GM.

Even if you believe this is true, how do you not get more for Luka? HOW?!

The Lakers and their fans will never know true suffering. They'll just win rings and then say that other organizations are terrible while being gifted everything and never working for anything. Just awful. It might be time to drop this corrupt league. There needs to be a new league where the corruption isn't there that overtakes this dying sport.

Meanwhile, the Lakers, after a few years of mismanagement, bereft of draft assets and with an aging roster, simply go out and land Luka Doncic, setting them up for years to come.

I know I should be used to it by now but my goodness that's discouraging.

I imagine most fanbases are feeling like this right now.

Like, how?? It will be interesting to hear from front offices around the league if they even knew Luka was available and if they even got bids in.

It's pretty clear that don't trust Luka's ability to keep himself in shape.

This absolutely has to be investigated. There are a number of teams that could have easily beaten this deal. Any faith I had left that the NBA was an actual sport, is gone.

Name a team, they could have put together a better deal.

This deal should be stopped, immediately. For the integrity of the league.

What's hilarious to me is Mavs had to ADD a 2nd rounder to the Jazz :lol: :lol: Like they couldn't just say "No we gave Luka" :lol:


I don't think they would care about anything else after giving Doncic. haha

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
He literally just took the team to the finals, hasn't even entered his prime. Who cares if he came into the season a little out of shape

He limped his way through the playoffs and had probably 1 good series against Minny, then came into this season out of shape.

I dont have a problem with the Mavs getting ahead of this and coming to the conclusion that Luka is unreliable as your MVP who will be getting paid 60-70 mill per year. The problem is deciding to continue to contend while trading him. You coulda got a boatload from Houston for him (one of the players Amen is on the table for) while trading Kyrie to the Lakers for more picks. It was a bad trade, not necessarily a bad conclusion
