Apparently, It was Dallas approaching Lakers not the other way around.

That's surprising. Seemed like everything was good there

Same ... I guess Lakers didn't like AD coming out and saying they need a trade ? Who knows, but this going on as I type this ... So more info maybe tomorrow etc, Lakers going small bal until they get another big.

Just crazy, I love Luka Too. But damn this is wow. I'm kind of speechless.

Ad is immensely talented but I'm surprised Dallas gives up on a 25 year old Luka for a 31 year old AD

You have kleber and Morris

Trade Rui to suns for Nurkic

noooo Nurkic is a target but that's giving up way too much... Vincent, Reddish, and Shake work, though.

I think this year is a wrap Unless we get a starting center. Lakers are set long term tho. But damn. I don’t know how I feel about this lol. I was actually starting to get excited now that Vando is back and we added Smith and Christie’s turning into a great 3 and D player.

I know some of you wanted a rebuild and to trade AD ... ARe you all happy with this one?

I'm damn happy and shocked at the same time. I'm not going to sleep tonight. And It's Sunday for me

He is not that good without his signature flop that gets called 94% of the time since he whines to the refs 100% of the time.

Wow!!

Sucks to lose AD and a burgeoning player in Max but its a no brainer!

Luka/Gabe
AR/Knecht
Rui/DFS
LeBron/Vando
Hayes/Kleber

Some tweaking needed and a Center is a must but what a move to get the best guard in the league!

February 1 - 2008 - Lakers get Gasol
February 1 - 2025 - Lakers get Doncic

I thought including JSH is a no go cause he can pass like Magic. Danny boy fleeced is on again. Much rather have Kessler.

This is NOTHING like that Pau trade cause the Lakers gave up basically NOTHING for him. AD is like 5x better than Gasol at his best.

yeah people calling Luka the biggest trade ever... interesting debate.

Pau was an international star that fit and had results right away for almost literally nothing

People saying the Mavs got nothing are tripping, though I agree the full package is fully skewed towards LA. Mavs are more dangerous than the lakers right now, though. Without another trade LA has Kaloko and Hays... that's worse than Will Perdue or anyone the Bulls ever sent out with Jordan.

Agree. Rui is an untouchable in my book.

I can't wait for TNT crew to crap on Luka and say it's a bad move.

good news for the cap, as well.

Lakers gonna be the whiniest team ever!

But got to do it!

BTW, Kleber has a broken foot so he is most likely out for season.

Lakers need to get a few bigs starting with Turner/ Kessler or at least Sharpe.

It is for the Lakers unless you are into flopping.

Holy ****! Insane news! I'd bench Reaves and make him 6th man.

Luka/Vincent
Vando/Reaves/Milton
DFS/Knecht/Reddish
Lebron/Rui/Kleber
(Trade for a Center)/Hayes/Morris

Knecht, Rui, 2031 1st + Swaps are immediately on the table for a Center now. Will greatly miss AD and Christie but I have a feeling they will be successful on the Mavs. Exciting news Lakers Nation!
