Dallas GM had completely lost the plot. Surely at least one other team would’ve offered a better package for Doncic
Fun to think about but what's the point of such a team? Not only different eras and different types of athletes, but also no role players which are really how you put a champion together. I mean end of a close game does MJ or LBJ get the ball? Or maybe you just give it to Shaq and he gets an easy basket. It's just pointless, you're picking out the best to play the game throughout all the eras, no more. I think we're seeing that with the Mavs and this trade, Luka can make crazy shots and good passes, but I think the Mavs are betting that their big men are the secret to getting through the West. And for all the focus on what a great passer Joker is, he too tends to just put the team on his back and score a lot in crucial playoff games.
Agree on this but not sure there was a better move to make. He probably gets more picks but the Mavs are in a bad spot timing wise. Probably need a couple years to hit a new peak with Luka, but by then the Spurs could be relevant while the Thunder, Grizz and Rockets will certainly be tough outs.
I think this was a screw it, we can contend right now with AD and then blow it up in 3-4 years or build around the young guys. Sure it's crazy to bet on AD being healthy but Luka was like Mikko in getting super lazy and pretty much ignoring D. If Luka really wants the title he's going to have to show up big time on that side of the ball

Hmm, wonder if this opens up a chance for the Nuggets to sign Doncic when he hits UFA. He and Jokic are good friends, but if he were still on the Mavericks I don’t think he would’ve thought about leaving.
Luka is a fat, toxic, lazy idiot and they don't want to give him a supermax contract. He's 270 pounds right now. He eats cheeseburgers and drinks beer in public hours before NBA games. The man sincerely only cares about his own statlines and nothing else.
Don't get me wrong, this is still horrible asset management. He's still young, he's absurdly talented, and AD is damaged goods. But that's the long and short of it.

Prime Crosby. This is an all defensive player being traded for a yearly top 3 MVP candidate.
Honestly with how little AD plays anymore this is like trading Mikko for Denise Crosby of Star Trek fame.
