Must’ve been something behind the scenes…

Like a Luka x Cuban scrap?

Like wtf???? This makes no sense for the Mavs… I can’t believe this.

If so.. I hope we offered Barnes and whatever else to at least TRY.



Dallas clearly wanted a win now big to pair with kyrie

Luka had PO in 26/27. Maybe its similar to Fox and he already communicated he wasn't going to extend in Dallas.

Yep this is a whole other stratosphere. Especially considering it’s mid season and this is 2 perennial All NBA 1st team

Can’t think of a more insane trade in history

28 other teams would have beat this offer. makes no sense.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Luka had to have asked out. It’s the only thing that makes sense.

If it's true then Dallas was looking for the biggest win-now trade they could find, don't think they'd be looking for a younger stud with great potential. AD is obviously still elite right now.

Spent the past 12 months building a great frontcourt for Luka just to trade him for AD. This is crazy
