What are the Mavs going to do with 3 centers now? I’m sure they are not done making moves here

Shocked and disgusted. The new Las Vegas mobster owners of the Mavs made a deal with Silver to bring the hype back to the Lakers. Luka is now the face of the NBA, and he's about to not even need to complain about the refs anymore.

The way I see it is that Nico Harrison went to West Point/saw the ARMY life style and felt that Luka doesn't put in the work to be great compared to other players.

He bailed at a weird time from an outsider's POV since the Mavericks just went to the Finals but I guessed he hates paying heavy oft-injured Luka Doncic the supermax.

What are the Lakers doing? Securing their future post LeBron; and the Mavs are pushing in their chips to improve their chances now and get a bonafide all NBA defender that's also versatile on offense. The only knock on Davis is his ability to remain healthy.

The wheels must have fallen off the wagon behind the scenes with Doncic and fast. Per ESPN, the Mavs approached the Lakers with the deal.

Dallas literally just went to the finals. Luka has been a top 5 player since his 2nd year in the league. This is most insane trade I've ever seen in my entire life. I'm speechless

My mind is truly blown rn.

Silver is like "So people don't want a European player as the face of the league? What if he is a Laker?"


That's nonsense.

Adam Silver is clear about creating parity/chances for smaller market teams to succeed

This story is all about the Mavericks ownership incompetence and failure nothing more.

I don't usually buy into conspiracy theories but the Spurs winning the Wemby lotto which just about everybody called before it happened and the Lakers getting handed a young generational talent for pennies on the dollar makes you wonder....

...and AD. This trade is wacky in so many ways, but everyone is acting like Dallas didn't get a top-10 player back who fits a lot better with Kyrie.

Dallas wanted to trade Luka...for whatever reasons...and they wanted a win-now trade instead of a bunch of 1sts. I don't know how much better they could have done given that. It's just weird that they wanted that.
