Of course the lakers pull this off. They’ve just secured their next decade.

Why do teams continually bend over backwards and give the Lakers anything they want?

This is super fishy. Like glitch in the matrix fishy. How much could you trade Luka for on the open market? This is super fishy.

LA seems to be the center of the NBA & MLB universes it seems. They get away with everything.

He doesn’t own the Mavs anymore. They’re now owned by some Las Vegas billionaire family. Something fishy is going on.

How are the Lakers even among the first five teams you call if you want to deal Luka? Wemby (at least worth a call, right?), Ant, Shai, Paolo, maybe even Amen, Ja, or Mobley make more sense as long time assets than AD.

Adam Silver threw out that 10 minute quarter idea and then was like F it, Lakers fix needed once again. Dallas needs to be deregulated to the G league for doing this. Absolute trash product, the NBA has become.

I can't even process this.

I hope Silver nixes this trade. As great a player as Anthony Davis is, the Mavs just went to the Finals and had a 25-year-old top five player superstar on their roster. This is not an equal trade. Silver should nix this deal like Stern nixed Paul to the Lakers years ago.

Has to be it. Or the Mavs have an under the table deal.

They better nix this like CP3.

The Mavs GM spent 20 years at Nike before getting the Mavs job

That guy who would is dead and was replaced by Silver.

The Mavericks owner is a joke.
