This is the single most shocking trade I have seen in any sport. How do you not hit up the Grizz, Thunder or Cavs and ask for Jackson, Chet or Mobley + other players, how do you just zero in on 31 year old AD and some 2029 pick when Luka is only going to be 29. The Lakers future picks are worthless, if anything is going to motivate Luka to get in shape it'll be getting traded like this and playing with/working out with the 40 year old guy that's his favorite player.

I cannot believe they didn't go to other teams, who the hell trades a 25 year old superstar for that return??

Also...Luka is not a good fit with LeBron. They are redundant as heliocentric ball handlers that spend a lot of time in the paint. The lakers defense also just fell off a cliff.

You could take the worst poster on realgm, make them GM for a day, and they would not make a trade as idiotic as the one the mavs GM just made.

It's so crazy because this couldn't be the best package they could get for Luka. This kind of trade needs to be investigated.

Why would LeBron be pissed? He gets a much better teammate who can actually take off the offensive load from his 40 year shoulders. He probably helped facilitate it.

If it was a career altering injury the Lakers wouldn't do it.

This forgives Sacramento for trading Fox. He will be a footnote on all the trade articles if he even changes zip codes.

Build around Luka and maybe trade Lebron?? Unless they wanna see how they work together. I think Bron can play off ball a lot more now.

Holy crap. If we can find a decent big this team will be crazy on offense.


Bron has a NTC. LA is stuck with him.


Would Lebron and Luka even work? I know Lebron can play a lot more off ball now and not have as much offensive responsibilities. In theory we could also move Rui for a...

They'll just win rings and then say that other organizations are terrible while being gifted everything and never working for anything. Just awful. It might be time to drop this corrupt league. There needs to be a new league where the corruption isn't there that overtakes this dying sport.

Agreed. This is a very dark moment for the league if this passes. It basically means that the rest of the league is nothing but a talent farm for big market teams like the Lakers
