Around the NBA - 2024-25 Season Continued

Also someone brought this to my attention:

Dallas traded for Kyrie 2 years ago, and now Luka is gone. Lmaooooooooo

[NoDopeOnSundays]

I don't know that I've ever read a sports article that so politely painted someone so thoroughly as a F*CKING MARK as this paragraph does. My goodness, this is pure ether in The Athletic...

So without the ability to gauge Dončić’s appetite to remain in L.A. long term, the Lakers expressed they couldn’t go all the way in for him, league sources said. And the Mavericks acquiesced, eventually agreeing to deal Dončić, along with Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris for Davis, Christie and one first-rounder.

This is insane.

No matter what, you get the highest value back possible.

They didn't even try. They gave him away for free. I don't care about Anthony Davis, he is not even on the same plane of existence as Luka in terms of talent and skill.

They basically gave a Koenigsegg away because the guy that was interested in it said he's not sure his 2 car garage has enough room

Should have been Luka for AD, Christie, Kinecht, 2029 1st, 20231 1st, three 2nd rounders, and two pick swaps.

They left out multiple picks and swaps for some reason. If the Mavs get moved to Vegas then we'll know why...

Luka trade had to be an ownership mandation. It's the only thing that makes a shred of sense, even if the decision is still nonsensical

It should have been Jaren Jackson, Jaylen Wells, Marcus Smart and 3 firsts plus 3 swaps.


Or


Bam, Jacquez 4 firsts and 3 swaps.

I would have called Sean Marks and asked for everything in their coffers. What do they have, 9 firsts? Plus their own this year when they suck?

It makes no sense. This trade is an embarrassment.

I'll be fully honest - we were chatting about Anfernee Simons when it broke and my first thought was that I accidentally moved the convo to the BAF thread and that Shams was Bish.

I probably looked as confused as these guys but not as sad.

Oh, absolutely, Lakers should have been one of the last destinations for him but since it seems it was only gonna be the Lakers, they should have extracted maximum value and they got half of what they should have. Mind-boggling.

But it doesn't make any sense from a financial standpoint. He was their main source of revenue.
