Even if this were true (which it's not), you still have him under club control, in his prime, for at minimum two postseasons. I don't care if he wants to retire two years from now - having him for the next 16 months alone would have created an unprecedented bidding war and fetched you a Herschel Walker return and a half.
They didn't shop him around, there was no bidding war
Gotta figure the new owners wanted this.
Mavs actually aren’t bad.
It seems like they cared more about keeping the trade a secret than doing that. Strange.
They don't. Lol. They really don't cAre anymore.
Still not better than they were with a healthy Luka. Trade makes little hoops sense.
32 oft injured player for a team that needs to start all over again
He played in 76 games last year and 44 out of 47 this year.
Now do almost every other year of his career. If you think he's "fixed" being injury prone as he's entered his 30s as opposed to "just in a lucky good stretch", I'd love to sell you some beachfront property in Arizona.
Two ball hogs???
Idk. It seems like he was very intentional about being healthier and maybe Lebron put him on to some secret regime.
And before that he averaged 45 games a year for 5 straight years.
You read it here first on post #79.
Lebron is over.
That’s a thought-provoking perspective. Combined with the BJ Armstrong take, it makes me wonder if the primary reason for doing the trade owner-to-owner in the night was in order to keep Lebron in the dark about it because they knew he wouldn’t like it… Having said that, Lebron is definitely not a ball hog (as stated by someone who implied it by saying that now they’ll have two). I haven’t watched enough Luka to make the same claim on his behalf, however I’m pretty sure he’s had a whole bunch of triple doubles in his career.
