Cuban shouldn't have sold the team. He got too greedy.

Man had billions. He could have rode off into the sunset with Luka as his shining star. Now he has to watch LeBron's side kicks lose in the First round. LOL

Unironically yes. Silver has a responsibility to save the mavs fans from the single most incompetent move any GM has ever made


That's what i meant.
IDGAF if Mavs ownership wanted to do it, put a hold on the trade, allow rest of the league put their bids in if they're hellbent on trading Luka and let him go for something of actual value.
When the individual feels, the community reels.

This is a disgusting trade. LA fleeced! I think AD on this Mavs would be good but 1 1st for Luka is nuts.

The NBA can no longer be considered a sports. Its WWE level fake.

A team ends up getting an absolute superstar and just gives him away to the NBA's favorite team to promote?

Luke never requested a trade. They CALLED the Lakers, making it seem unlikely any other team even knew Luka was available as EVERY TEAM IN THE NBA would have destroyed this offer.

How do the Mavericks ever recover from this? Why would any fan ever go to a game again when you know the owner is actively working to make the Lakers better?

Some insanely shady stuff went down for this to happen.

No way. This is apparently real. Absolutely insane.

This is gross malpractice by the Mavericks. Gifting a Top-5 basketball player in the world who is only 25 years old to the Lakers is beyond ridiculous.

Cuban isn't the owner anymore, he sold the team last year. This is the Adelson's, Las Vegas mobsters doing a deal

That makes it even more confusing. The Adelsons have SO much money. I would expect the team selling off their superstar like this was getting money back.

Hell it doesn't even make sense to avoid his 5-yr supermax. $345 million is a lot of money but nothing compared to what Luka brings in for your franchise's value.

I fear for Nico Harrison safety. He's gonna need bodyguards, bulletproof vest and a tank to get around in Dallas.

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??


Like I said, WHAT THE ****???



I been trying to make sense of this and I just draw a blank, I cannot believe this trade.

This is something you try in NBA 2k and even the CPU is kind of like "Really?" before rejecting it.

I mean... So let me ask this much... If I was to ask... You're telling me... But the question is... What I need to discern...

Someone pay the Mavs GMs ransom on his wife and family. This is an absurd trade.
