Pelinka is the luckiest MFer.

Mavs approached lakers supposedly with deal.

Talk about getting bailed out of his terrible moves

NTC either way

Alright what’s the follow up move here? The Lakers need a big ASAP.

They have a hole on the perimeter now, Max gave them good 30min per game at SG + a hole at the C

Lakers did AD dirty, though. Loved him and LeBron together. Sucks that he’s gone instead of the Lakers adding other pieces to them. I don’t really like this move, honestly.

I get it for LA, just not sure they are better this season. But maybe they aren't planning to complete anyways

I just got back home. What the **** happened

This is insane. Lakers need rebounding honestly. Just got to run with offensive mastery and offensive boards.

It’s future minded. You get offered a top-5 player in the league who’s only 25 and you’re only moving one 1st, you have to take it. There’s just no way around that.

It’ll be interested to see if the Lakers make follow up moves or just make do as is and go all-in for next season.

Lakers get their 3rd ballhandler I guess. Good job Rob

Super scummy by the Lakers’ FO. Hate that they got bailed out long term. I wanted the franchise to fall into the obscurity it deserves.

Just insane….

So what moves are next?

Rui for sure gone right? No point of having him with Maxi

Need a C of course

But need a Max replacement

Who are some 3 and d targets??

I’m upset we couldn’t have moved Knecht instead of Max. Would have only needed a C

Is AR expendable??

They are not. Luka and 40 year old LeBron on the perimter defensively? Yikes. But it's not a move for this season anyway. Lakers now have their superstar to build and contend with for years now that LeBron's almost out.

Funny thing is I think this makes the Lakers worse in the short run, basically just them getting a Lebron replacement for the next 10 years. And yes, Pelinka is the luckiest person on the **** planet.

LA getting a young superstar while bailing on another great Lebron season is so on brand

Hindsight: Would you trade Luka back to Dallas for Anthony Davis?
