Clearly Dallas still wants to win with Kyrie so they got him AD instead of rebuilding. What a gut blow to Mavs fans, this is truly terrible news.


Even if he asked out this is all they could get? The best return is an aging big who's always injured?

The Lakers have to have a follow-up move in mind.

Forget the short term fit with Lebron. This is the coup of the century even if it doesn't help them win a single extra game this year.


100%. One way or another.

I just said "what?" 17x when I saw this on reddit and came here to see wtf is actually happening.

Seeing it on NBA TV now with a Nico Harrison quote about defense winning championships.

So once again, "what?"

MAKES NO SENSE


Dude... your getting AD, who is still at top 7 player in the NBA, a STUD in max christie. ( a 3,d starter for the next ten years), and a first round pick. YES i get it its still not enough, but it aint nothing.

While THIS trade is crazy, im ok with the Mavs getting ahead of the conditioning issues with Luka and moving him. Moving him for AD is the problem

This is the wildest thing I have ever seen. Does Luka have a secret potential career-ending injury or something? This is a franchise destroying move from the Mavs.

So confirmed? So freaking crazy. Luka must've wanted out then, right? Was he unhappy? Can any Dallas fans chime in?


It seems out of character for Doncic to want out. He's got a perfect team built around him and he went to the Finals last year. It's probably our stupid new Trumpy owners who want to suck the franchise for all it's worth and build a casino in Dallas. I hope they fail.

Dude i dont understand...Like why would DALLAS do this?? And us giving up AD and Christie maaaaaaan i was hype looking at what we would look healthy plus a legt backup big.

No idea how we will look now.

Bruh you have no worries, you just got a guy that is probably #1 or #2 on GMs "guys to build around" list.

Honestly, trade LBJ as well and just build around the MVP guy


Yeah thats what the trade implies. But Bron has a no trade clause and i believe he'll be able to play a lot more off ball. I wanna see how they look together. Luka alongside Bron would be incredible on offense.

Defense took a big hit with Christie and AD leaving.

We're probably giving up on the season with this trade.
Tf lol
