Probably the biggest wtf trade of my lifetime, I thought this edible I'm on had me hallucinating

 

[B1GEast]

Crazy, Luka to the Lakers

 

[bendm]

W t f are the mavs doing. Doncic is a top 5 player and 6 years younger than Davis.

If they’re going to trade Luka it shoulda been to a team with multiple young assets like the rockets. Gimme Jalen green amen Thomson and tari Eason. Mavs already had a good center rotation with gafford and lively too. This might be the dumbest trade in years

The ESPN announcer Sean Farnham announced it during the Gonzaga-St.Mary’s game. I couldn’t believe it either.

Yea that's how I first heard of it as well, I had to immediately check twitter

I haven't followed the NBA much this season, but that seems like not enough for Luka...?

 

[aceboon]

So you trade him for an older player who has also had injury issues throughout his career? This makes no sense but I'm sure we're gonna get plenty of pods out of this from NBA writers doing deep dives

 

[navery12]

I am very very confused

Brian Windhorst on ESPN saying the Mavs didn't think they could win going forward with Luka, he just had them in the Finals lol

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

There has to be more moves on the way.

It makes sense for the Mavs short term and the Lakers long term. But more moves have to be made for the Mavs. It doesn’t make sense as is.

There’s so many star wings on the trade market if they can grab one though to pair with Kyrie and AD.

Luka just lost a good bit of money cause of this trade.

31 year old injury prone AD and a 1st?

 

[auror]

This is pretty funny though

I had a feeling it was due to financial reasons.

I wonder how Marc Cuban feels about this, no way would he have signed off on this trade if he was still the majority owner. Selling on a 25 year old generational player over conditioning issues is madness.

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

Well I’m sure Luka is going to make it a point to be in the best shape now that he is in LA

AD will play PF next to them, he doesn't want to play C

He’s dropping 50 next time he plays Dallas

That’s how I heard about it too. Even Sean questioned the accuracy of the early reports of the trade. Makes no sense to me.
