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'm not one of those "NBA is scripted!" guys, but c'mon. League numbers not doing too hot, and so one of the biggest superstars of this generation gets traded to one of the biggest NBA markets?? :lol:

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:

Let me put on my tinfoil hat and say:

The league is in on this to boost the viewership. It’s the ultimate rage bait.

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

It must be wild being the Lakers GM. Teams will just randomly call you up and be like "Hey, we'd like to give you Luka Doncic" and youre just like "Hell yeah brother!"

That Mavs GM must have been under the influence of something. There is no way any GM in the history of the NBA who would have accepted that offer for Luka lol

If Luka didnt demand a trade then whats the reason.

Mavs are run by the dumbest people on Earth? An 8 year old child wouldn't do this trade.

I wonder if other teams knew this?

I remember Gregg Popovich being salty about the Pau Gasol trade.

Should be used to it by now. Wilt, West, Baylor, Magic, Kareem, Kobe, Shaq, Lebron, Luka. Just par for the course landing generational talents decade after decade
