Sorry to Jazz fans who thought we'd get Luka, but this is a nice little deadline move.

Doncic to the Lakers? What the actual F?!

And why weren't the Jazz the ones trading for him with all their assets? And WTF are the Mavs doing getting rid of Doncic because of 'conditioning concerns' just to get Anthony 'Street Clothes' Davis who is older, has injury concerns, and is unable to carry a team as the best player? What the H is going on?

Suddenly that proposed Kessler trade with all those Lakers picks doesn't look so good.

Well, the Jazz are actually a winner in this deal. We didn’t have to do much and we got us some extra assets. And who knows, maybe there’s more to come?

The Jazz were almost the only ones who knew this deal is going down. I wonder if they tried to make a deal for Doncic themselves instead of only helping the Lakers' robbery of the Mavs.

I am sure they must have checked (be crazy not to) but I sincerely doubt Doncic would have signed on at the end of next season here.

Maybe, but Euros are much more receptive to playing in smaller markets. I don't know, this deal is fishy as hell. I blame AingesBurner.

Ainge must be banking on Luke being injured in 27 because they destroyed the value of the 27 pick.

Exactly why I think we aren’t done…Ainge wouldn’t do this without something up his sleeve (I hope).

The deal was going to get done whether or not we were involved. No one saw this trade coming so Ainge could have just been doing his best to get a couple seconds on a deal that someone needed to take some filler. But LA can retool easy now having Luka.

Whoa guy, I am just as confused and pissed as anyone else. How the MF did we not get Luka???? Our 27 Laker pick had more value than their 29 :lol: We got the Phoenix pick for a move like this. I am really confused. Luka, Lauri, Kessler, and our 25 pick could have been something. Mfer.

They have no bigs and anything they can get will be mediocre. I’m assuming that LeBron will stick around until his mid 40s riding on Lukas coattails while still calling himself the “King”. Sad really. Hell, wait until LeBron yells at Luka for not passing to Bronny.

I really hope you are Ainge and this is your take. Would be hilarious. Their defense is going to be garbage. And I hope you are right and Bron stays on until 27.

:lol: LeBron is the most narcissistic individual in the NBA and he has ego issues when being compared to Jordan. He needs 2 more rings to be in consideration in his own mind of being the goat. Luka also has the Eastern European mindset that probably won’t mix with LeBrons. Throw Bronny in the mix, it won’t last in my humble opinion. Luka probably leaves because he won’t be able to stand LeBron.

Excuses. It was your mission to do undercover work and steer Doncic to the Jazz, and what have we got to show for it? First we sign the wrong Luka (Samanic) and now the Jazz are involved in the Luka Doncic trade and get Jalen Hood-Schifino instead :banghead: .

But Ainge did see this trade coming since he was part of it. He was one of the only ones who did know. The old Ainge would have undercut the Lakers and given the Mavs a king's ransom for Doncic, leaving the Lakers bamboozled and crying in the dust.

I don’t know if it’s true, but the reports are the Mavs had focused only wanting AD back. Why they wouldn’t go looking for another player is weird to me, but if true it makes sense why Ainge couldn’t get more involved other than as a third party. Had we had Lauri available maybe it could have been enough, but I doubt it.
