BREAKING: Shams: Mavs Trading Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber, & Markieff Morris to the Lakers for Anthony Davis + FRP

[Boselecta]

Lots of new fans to the NBA? This is typically how things go for the Lakers. Just be happy no super teams were created. The Miami Heat situation hit much harder for me as a fan when LeBron went there.

I mean still doesn't make sense to not field offers but if Luka wanted out then he got his way.

The only good news for all of us Lakers haters is we know that the Lakers will suck this year (even with additional moves) and won't be title contenders for the next 2-3 years.

Who cares. Luka is 25. They'll just sign the next available marquee free agent/trade peanuts for a disgruntled star and they'll be threepeating again.

Thats not the point..even if Luka doesn't ever wins the ring in LA thats also not the point.

THE POINT IS YOU SELL HOF PLAYER TO ONE TEAM FOR LESSER OFFER WITHOUT INFORMING OTHER 29 TEAMS THAT WILL GIVE YOU 20+ BETTER OFFERS.

Toronto, would include Masai + their own arena in the deal:)

Yes, possibly. But no title for LeBron is more important. LOL.

I guess the basketball-reference algorithm refreshes only once per day. Right now Gary Payton (the dad) and Drew Eubanks are in the top 10 in 'Trending Player Pages', but Luka and AD aren't.

you forgot that LA still has 1 first pick and is missing a C... in my opinion with that pick they can get Jokic... then maybe they can get to the Play-In this year

[TeamTragic]

Can we talk about how Cuban was able to cash out right before Luka was traded?

Mark got that good stuff

[elias808]

Bronny about to get that ring his rookie year?

72 pages in a few hours..........I just woke up
I dont understand why Dallas traded 25 year old Luka unless they dont believe in his knees anymore OR............he asked out. But why would he ask out, he was a God in Dallas?

Its not his knees.Its his calf or hami strain.
Even if he asked out start calling teams not just Lakers.
We all know what Bridges got in trade.
Mavs just said nah we good we dont need extra 3-4 pick and young talent.

[Sofia]

my friend's friend's girlfriend who is at the bar with us said "this is like trading Jordan"

she knowns ball

What’s her number?

(281) 330-8004

She said something about f…ing Mike Jones.

[The Laker Kid]

I might be the odd man out here but I'd still rather have AD. You can't teach tall. Give me tall and good over a chubby out of shape flopper anyday. I hate this trade!!!

PS - Lakers should've traded the old guy.

I mean, the super team is coming. The moment the next great young player hits free agency or demands a trade, he's going to be a Laker.

[Appostis]

Ill be honest, ill be happy about this trade. I love AD but I would love luka way more... hes also younger than AD and a DAWG which AD can be only at times.

Can I get a no **** x10.

They clearly wanted AD. They initiated the talks...
Lakers haters value 5-6-7 picks more than AD, but Mavs don't.

[floppymoose]

I think the Mavs made the right call moving off of Luka. It's a very gutsy call. I wish the GS front office would show that kind of fortitude and do a true rebuild now while they can still get something for Steph and Wiggins.

[_NoMas]

Sleep with one eye open now people. There’s surely more moves to be made… will Mavs use Gafford or Lively, Klay and picks to make one more move… is LeBron going to the warriors?

[holdenwait]

This is too funny still omg

It's like somebody pulled a gun to the Mavs gms head and said make up a trade now in 7 seconds !! Why would you agree on this skint .ss deal lmao

When you trade your 25 year-old top-5 player, you do it for a treasure trove of prospects and picks, not for a broken down 32 year-old on his last legs.
