lebron is 39? lol him and luka aint winning a title together

I dont know about the title talk, more about helping him out with injury/body maintenance for longevity

 

[CupofOil]

So this is what the Gretzky trade must have felt like or at least close to. One of those "I have no words" trades that you see once in a lifetime

 

[Mrfenn92]

Nico better win with Anthony

 

[LesCactus]

I believe Luka forced this, I don’t believe Dallas’ cop out statement. He got you to the finals but they felt like they couldn’t win with him.

 

[leafsfan5]

I cannot believe this is a real trade

 

[CupofOil]

I believe Luka forced this, I don’t believe Dallas’ cop out statement. He got you to the finals but they felt like they couldn’t win with him.

Of course it's a cop out, they have to find a way to justify it by saying that they improved their defense so this makes them better lol and that this is a trade for the now and "the future" getting a player 8 years older than the player they dealt. There's no way they really believe that nonsense.

 

[No More Subban]

Luka did NOT ask for a trade.

As a Mavs fan, I want to cry but I am just really really shocked right now.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

What would be the NHL comparable for this...Makar for Kucherov maybe? Makar for Barkov? Jack Hughes for Zach Werenski?

Draisaitl for Hedman

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Lol and people think the NFL is rigged?

This some bs

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

You can't say no here if you're the Lakers but they're not winning anything with that front court now until they shift from Lebron's team to Luka's, Mavericks lineup looks monstrous if it was 2015. Most stunning trade in NBA history

 

[EvilDecoy]

The Lakers need a marketable star once LeBron retires. Lakers fans ain't going to sit and watch shit.

Pretty much the Joe Thornton to SJ trade

 

[Power Man]

Weird fit

But with James retiring soon I guess it makes sense

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Luka is a generational talent and 7 years younger, no brainer trade for LA imo and I'm a big AD fan. They have their post-LeBron superstar now and will build around him.

Speaking of LeBron, curious to see what happens next. Lakers could still make some noise this year if they trade for a decent big. Or maybe they'd rather trade him and start their next chapter now. He has a NMC but he'd probably be willing to waive it if they promise to send him to a contender. Cavs farewell tour maybe? Next few days should be interesting.

 

[Svencouver]

wtf?????

 

[dahrougem2]

lots of teams go to the finals lol ye he did good last year but he still doesn't come across to me as a guy who has the dog in him .

Two of the last three years he's taken that Dallas squad to the NBA Finals and Western Conference Finals. He almost singlehandedly beat the Phoenix Suns in that 2nd round matchup and demolished Devon Booker.

He absolutely has that dog in him. I don't know how you could watch the guy - especially in big games and late in games - and think he doesn't.

 

[Forge]

lol

 

[Svencouver]

What would be the NHL comparable for this...Makar for Kucherov maybe? Makar for Barkov? Jack Hughes for Zach Werenski?

Quinn Hughes for Nico Hischier comes to mind

 

[Power Man]

ROFL Klay Thompson

 

[Terry Yake]

wait

......what?

 

[Terry Yake]

i hope this puts to rest any "lebron runs the lakers FO" BS. he hasn't had any power in that department since the westbrick debacle and there is zero chance he would have even considered moving AD

this move was made 100% with the lakers future in mind and lebron could not care less about that

 

[mrmovies779]

The Mavs GM smoking some really potent shit

 

[weastern bias]

The Mavericks just made one of the worst trades I've ever seen in any sport, what the f*** is this?

This league is scripted, lol

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

The Lakers are such a badly run franchise it's insane to me how they just get all the luck lmao, Dallas CALLED them and wanted Davis for Doncic. I don't understand, if you're scared to offer a 25 year old a supermax because he won't stay on the court, fine, but why make a trade for a player that's SEVEN years older, worse, and also can't stay on the court. It actually makes no sense.

 

[yianik]

So what's the deal with the Mavs GM ? Is this guy considered any good because he looks like he just killed his team. But maybe it looks so bad because we can't see the genius of it. Is the GM a genius ?
