If i’m a mavs fan, i’m burning that arena they have. This is bs. AD of all people lol. A 25 year old consistent 1st team all nba for glass knee Davis lol.

JB could fetch more than AD and a pick….

You're killing me, man!

What the ****, how the **** did the lakers do it again? That is nothing for luka, so **** cheap

[Fierce1]

If Mavs make it to the finals again then the trade will be justified.

[KamikazeK]

dang that's a crazy trade. They gotta win a title to make it worthwhile in my opinion. Lakers get their next big star. Right now, I don't like the trade for dallas at all. We'll see how things play out tho.

I read that Luka will no longer get the supermax of 345m available to him this off-season.

No other explanation.

There's no way you would be okay with that return regardless of the reason for the trade.

Nico Harrison could be rerouting AD to Boston for Jaylen Brown.

KP-AD double big.

Now you know what I meant...

I feel like the Celtics have the ability to acquire any available non-top 7 player in the league if they wanted.

[MaxwellSmart]

Brown for LeBron....would help out now and give the team cap room earlier than keeping the FT missing Jaylen...Ha.

Lakers always manage to get a team's Franchise player....Sickening really.

Massive surprise but I don’t see it the way others do…Dallas would know more about his habits and what they’ve tried to do to get him to change them better than others…his heliocentric not defense style is captivating to watch, but hard to build around and no doubt possibly hard to play with…

Carlisle left as he didn’t want to deal with Luka.

AD is around a top 15 player who is easier to build around and they already knew how Kyrie could run the show there.

It’s ballsy and the shock might make Luka work like he never would have in Dallas, but the trade makes sense to me.

Then again, I’ve never been as high on Luka as most.

[ConstableGeneva]

Might also want to think twice before we complain about our no-drama, zero-demands franchise player. C's are blessed.

If Mavs make it to the finals again then the trade will be justified.

And the next decade they likely suck will also be justified sadly

AD showed a beta mindset the moment he demanded a trade to the lakers. And if not for a 2 month midseason break that led to him being healthy during the bubble playoffs, he would be a ringless afterthought.
Even if the mavs wanted out of luka, there are so many better deals out there unless luka pulled that trade me to LAL bull behind the scenes

Its not that they get them, it's that they get them so cheaply and seem to be first in line without a bidding process.

They paid fairly for AD, though it was still crap they didn't have to bid against anyone else

Double pane glass window front court

Lakers could use someone like Springer now. Some other team will just gift them the cap space to make the money work.
