This reeks of a set up by the league. 100% this came from high above.

This is like when Gretzky got traded to the LA Kings. Pure marketing demand from above to get an elite superstar in a bigger market. NBA viewership is tanking and this is a step to get it back up. Luka going to have the friendliest whistle in the league.

Btw that’s going to be Luka hitting the dagger 3 over AD in the playoffs this season and flipping off the mavs owners

As is, OKC and Denver style on LAL this year. That said, I wouldn't be shocked if they moved Reaves for a big. Either way, Luka is a generational talent. On market impact alone the trade is a steal before your realize the effect he'll have on the court. This is one of the worst trades of all time. A move that legitimately will set Dallas back a decade if not more. Cuban has to be sick this happened so soon after he sold.
 
As the biggest Luka fan in the world, him going to the lakers is devastating.

The Mavs are a great organisation and Niko was amazing at putting the pieces together.

The Lakers front office is terrible, they’re not gonna be able to put a good team around him.

This sucks…

Guess I’m gonna have to get used to seeing him in the purple and gold..
 
Dumb move by the Mavs honestly, Davis is injury prone, and Kyrie only has a season or two left in him at the elite level. (If that).

The only reason the Mavs got to the finals last year was because of Luka, this team has looked very average without him. Davis isn’t going to be enough for the Mavs to win now either.

Apparently they weren’t happy with his conditioning, it’s been enough for him to carry previously mediocre teams through several play off series and routinely put up 40 point triple doubles..

wtf…

Agreed. If Silver had some balls it would be vetoed but I’m afraid even if it was, the damage is done. Luka would never get along with the FO again and would just leave them high and dry in FA after they pulled this shit. Can’t wait until Cuban and Luka comment

Thing is, knowing how good Luka is, he’s going to transcend this, he’s gonna make the Mavs pay for this shit..

Look how much he torches the kings for passing on him in the draft and the twolves/suns/clippers because he hates them. He will probably go for 100 against the mavs

I hope he drops 50pts a game every time they play, fuck nico and everyone involved

Yeah man, this is completely cooked, fuck the Mavs front office and everyone involved.

Imagine thinking that these older versions o Kyrie and AD gonna win you a chip???

Kyrie was nowhere to be found during the Celtics series, nowhere, and AD consistently chokes in the finals..

Honestly I feel bad for the Mavs fans..

Luka injected an excitement into the franchise that hasn’t been seen since the prime dirk years.. those finals series were lit AF, and most Luka games were literally a magic show.. people actually don’t know how good this kid is..

Looking online, pretty much every Mavs fan seems to be extremely devastated..

It killed the franchise tbh. I think viewership will go down and future superstars will never want to play there. Also reading through the mavs subreddit, many have said the two new Vegas owners could be planning to get a team in vegas. Could be bullshit but interesting to think about.

Every other fanbase has said it’s the worst trade ever too which is rare that everyone agrees. Now they have no foreseeable future success after the next couple of seasons so I don’t see what the logic was doing this. I don’t think I ever will.

AD was the one covering up how shitty LAs defenders are , Lakers better hope they for an offensive Machine because Luka and 40 year Old LeBron have that revolving door defensive stance down pat.
 
Kyrie
Klay
PJ?
AD
Lively/Gafford

Still a really good starting 5 if healthy
Its going to put PJ Washington in a sticky spot since AD is taking his job. PJ has been playing really well in particularly the last month.

Lakers won tonight without AD against the Knicks at home which is a great win. Lakers have a much better chance in the playoffs with Luka now but I don't think it'll be enough right now. Hopefully they make another trade and go for Jimmy or a big.
