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

The real decision the Jazz FO is making is between Continuity, Cap Flexibility, and Cash Considerations.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
