Dallas' lack of playmakers just makes this trade all the more confusing. How tf did you not get Reaves added to the deal?

The trade was not fair. Plain and simple.


Maybe you shouldn't blame the Lakers.

It's all own the Mavs and their front office/ownership

It's not the only bone headed trade made this season (Minnesota trading KAT to the Knicks was pretty diabolical too)


I hear you. Not blaming the Lakers or their fans. Just still hurt lol. You never trade a player like Luka.

Why is Christie on the court? Guy gets picked on defensively and does nothing on offense.

Looks like Rui has decided to take over the missing late game FTs talent from AD now that he's gone.

There have been a lot of times in this game that I have thought, "Wow, Luka is really hustling on defense; he even looks slimmer. He's getting his feet in the right place. He's not giving up on possessions. Whole new Luka." And then I realize it's Austin.

No idea how any coach can gameplan their defense around Luka just giving up on the perimeter POA defensive assignments.
