I saw it on Facebook and assumed it was some AI generated clickbait bullshit.  ROFL  I am stunned.  What awful return.  LA would have thrown in multiple more first round draft picks, at least 3, maybe 4 or 5 more. 

 

i thought it was a fake account 

didn't even look into further

I remember almost driving off the road living in Dallas when I heard the Pau Gasol trade. I would’ve driven my truck into a ditch if I heard this from the shock. I mean my guys have a history of fleecing teams, but this is beyond stunning. This is stealing a guy not even in his prime for a guy who may or may not be healthy at any given time. Incredible how this transpired.

Funniest thing about this is that any NBA team would have gutted the franchise to get a generational talent in Luka. Like 5 firsts plus a couple of starters 

 

those makes zero sense 

will he pass the physical ?

I had 4 missed calls from my son in Dallas. Thinking he’s in trouble I call him and he’s losing his shit.  Fuck this coaching staff. How you trade away the best player in the nba 

What tha fuck does the coaching staff have to do with the trade? Are you new to American sports? This is the Adelsons.

Can the league seriously step in and say fuck no

Why would they? Gives Lebron a toy to play with a little bit longer. Puts a big name player in the arguably biggest franchise in the NBA

I'll save the emotion for you Mavs fans, I'm not a Laker fan, pretty neutral, I'm just trying to figure out how this makes any sense from their perspective? Luka and Bron are mostly the same player, whereas AD was a pretty almost perfect complement to Bron.

Do any of you actually follow the NBA? AD is the best player on a team with a better record than Dallas. Luka hasn't even played half the season. I think Dallas is fucking insane to do this but Luka hasn't played in over a month.

Um. No. Tell me who LA's starting 4 and 5 are now. 

Hint: it isn't good

They're going to have to rebuild around Luka imo - or pull off some wild roster upgrades until LeBron is off their books.

I don't think they know who Anthony Davis is, frankly.

You have a 25 year old who is 5x 1st team All NBA. Why are you not getting 10 picks?

Instead they get a broken ass old man who plays fewer games than Mike Trout.

None of this makes sense from the Mavs' POV.

What the ever loving fuck is going on? Did Cuban have a breakdown? This makes zero sense. 

Cuban isn't calling the shots any longer. He's a minority owner err governor now. This was Nico and the new Adelson dipshits.

One of the most difficult challenges in the NBA is acquiring a true franchise guy - without one, it's very difficult to win a championship.

The Mavs actually had a true franchise guy and they've given him away; despite AD's good year, Luka (even with his warts and deficiencies) is still the better player and can certainly be the best player on a championship team.

Yes, Luka's injured now and AD has played more games this season, but the chances of AD making it through the Spring and into May healthy is infinitesimal.

They were just in the finals 8 months ago.
