Meanwhile Knicks trying to wiggle TJ Warren onto squad.
Luka not really into the supermax given he won't play 65 gams so if thats a thing, get over it.
Lakers made out on this? that depends if the fat fuck can stay on the court. He plays about 65 games as season and its about him being 25 and the future. Dallas does not want to pay him if he going to keep getting large. He is an amazing talent.
PhilC, stop making shit up. You think Silver made this happen?
Davis is 31 and he too misses a lot of games also. they going to pay him 178mm for 3 more years AFTER this one.
Why Dallas do this? With Kyrie the window is now. they are getting it done reasonably without Luka.
They fucked up with Brunson but got bailed out by Kyrie. they did go to finals last year. Lets not forget.
I don't think this is a certain Laker home run. But, at 25 and if and when Lebron retires soon they have star to sell.
Luka is not Zion, but they got cause to be concerned.
Wow, thats out of nowhere. The biggest surprise is that they would trade Luka for Davis of all players. No package of picks, and young talent. Just one FRP.
Windhorst said that the Mavs didnt contact other teams, ask them to bring their best offer. They went after an aging. often injured star. Why the rush and why Davis? Thats what Id like to hear.
Truly insane. AD is a great player but plays half the time. How could this be all the return?
Lebron retires by 2026 and Luka gets a supermax. Lakers get handed a gift
They need a center now - Mitch for Jared Vanderbilt and Reddish?
LOL holy shit. Don't like the Lakers getting such a GIFT, especially after they just left the Garden with a win...
But fuck Dallas! This is how blindsided I felt with the Porzingis trade. Unless you got some weird medical update, I don't know how you push Luka out like that, so quickly, and for such a weak package (1 first?!).
Have fun Mavs fans and thanks for fucking up with Brunson first!
I would have at least asked for Austin Reaves……what is Pelinka going to say no…when you are handing him the next face of the franchise when LBJ retires…honestly…F the FRP….Reaves is worth more than that
How did the Mavs not make a market and just take this garbage package?
Brooklyn would have sent them about 10 firsts
This is the kind of stuff that makes people look at the league sideways. If this was a fantasy league, this trade would be put on hold until a good explanation from the mavs was provided.
Chris Paul part 2...except they let it thru
That’s nuts!
Never a conspiracy NBA theory guy but……
Perennial league MVP whom is 25 for an often injured 31 year old? Hmmm?
All the people thinking the Knicks overpaid - we absolutely paid a premium for Mikal. Draft picks that would be pretty low in the pecking order, but would be re-assuring if we failed to perform.
We got KAT as a bargain.
And OG was a gift.
Anthony Davis is a beast when healthy. That Kyrie/Davis combination fits better.
I think Dallas won this trade.

Silver probably promised to rig a future draft for them
Lebron to Golden State next? Rebuild around Luka...

Gotta be something
This trade is so one-sided it kind of gives away the game.
It is not chance that the Lakers are basically given top players every few years to keep them relevant.
It is guaranteed that the Lakers win the championship this year. They play 8 on 5 basketball everyday, Now it doesn't have to be so obvious.
The fact that there wasn't a bidding war for Luka tells you everything. This is the Pau Gasol trade all over again.

Jokic for Reaves and a future second
