The Mavs roster is actually pretty solid right now and could make some noise (despite being inferior to what it was two days ago), but the implications for the FUTURE of the Mavericks is absolutely unjustifiable. Trading a superstar player and getting back a more injury prone, older star and ONE first rounder that this very trade makes less valuable??? The ramifications of this trade on the long term viability of the Mavs is creating problems and gaps in value where problems didn't exist.
The Mavs front office has been shooting themselves in the foot for the past year or so and this was them putting the gun to their head. This team is cooked

there needs to be some sort of an investigation. The Pau trade in 08 and now Luka. Where no other team know about em two being available, and the Lakers are the CLEAR winners? Or maybe its a way to boost up ratings n have more eyes watching. Lets b real, its a business at the end of the day. Won't see a team like the Jazz, where this stuff happens to(Unless they are on the losing side).

Great job Adam Silver. Youre keeping up the tradition of giving the Lakers stars for free. Well done, may you Commission another 15 years for the Los Angeles Basketball Association.
If kyrie,klay and AD(not injured) all prime it would make some sense…. The problem is that all of them are not in their prime because this some kind of win now trade AD is already 31
Mavs fans waking up to this news are gonna have heart attacks in their beds! If you know any Mavs fans, take their phones from them & deliver the news to them calmly. Just whatever you do, DON’T tell them this while they’re driving!
As a die-hard AD fan…yeah, I’m completely speechless, how did everyone agreed to this trade? I mean in my opinion both that’s lost in this trade. The Lakers lost their one and only defensive source and a young man with decent scoring ability for a potential defensive crash out? And the Mavs gave away their cornerstone for an even bigger injury prone. All I can say is, there are something more to it.
Hypothetically, the Mavs and the Lakers exchanged Top 10 players...but in reality the Mavs gave the Lakers a Top 10 player in the league while the Lakers gave the Mavs a Top 10 consistently unavailable player in the league and 1 SINGLE FIRST when guys like Gobert, PG, Durant at 35, MIKAL BRIDGES etc went for 5+ firsts
Luka literally got better every year he hasn’t even peaked yet. Like his first trip to the playoffs after getting knocked out in round 1, next time knocked out in round 2, then eventually made the finals. You can definitely build around him
Unless Mavs have found out that Luka will retire or die next year, this do not make any sense. Gafford is fucked, Lively fucked, Kyrie is fucked, AD is fucked, PG is fucked, Mavs fans are fucked me included. Correction: Not a Mavs fan anymore. I don't need this kind of shit to push me further down, life is trying to do enough already. If Bron had anything to with this trade, going forward I will shat on him as well whenever I get a chance to do so.
This is not just the craziest deal it was also the biggest steal in NBA history. Aging and injury prone AD and ONLY one first round pick 4 years from now. Crazyyy
@@jnmc2498 they are trying but this will fail miserably It's the complete wrong move. More nepotism and star stacking on the way Less confidence in franchises and less and less reasons to be a lifetime fan when teams do these kinds of trades on the middle of the night
Yea this is definitely a rig job. This trade makes no sense no matter how you look at it. They wanna help LeBron because they think that will get them ratings. Little do they know LeBron is the reason no one watches anymore. I’m a Cavs fan and Lebron has destroyed this league. I don’t watch a game anymore. And the Cavs are decent.
Never forget : five more years with -15 with the ratings and the League is dead ! And the big financial crisis is not here, yet. It's just "Opeation save the League".
There is no other explanation. A drunken toddler wouldn't have made this trade. 20 other teams could have made better offers. Not to mention they should have gotten more from the Lakers
@@stephengoodell5984yeah, if they wanted to really trade luka they would have announced it publicly so there would’ve been a bidding war to ensure they got the most value in return for Luka. what a joke
Two words, “luxury tax.” My city’s team lost their future because the billionaire owners didn’t want to pay him. They won’t get any more of my money, that’s for sure. I used to buy tickets, merch, and never missed a game if I could help it. I’m a Spurs fan now, I don’t give a fuck
They just went from a team that nobody hated, known for cool ownership and GM, a great finals title, and players like Dirk, and recent good times like the Luka and Kyrie duo.... Now they seem scuzzy.
As an OKC fan how did we let this slide? We could have got him easily for that price. We might have even got to keep J Dub, Chet and SGA. If AD and a first gets you Luka then I Hart, Dort, Topic, Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and as many firsts as you want should get that done.
@ Exactly. Imagine also having Chet and J Dub? 😵I remember arguing with a Mavs fan like a year ago that if OKC wanted Luka we could get him and I said hypothetically we could just throw 5 young pieces and 10 first rounders if we wanted because we have so many assets and his response was "that still wouldn't be enough to get it done" 😅
I've been a Mavericks fan for nearly 30 years. This would be like trading Durk in 2006 for Ben Wallace. I'm done. I'm officially an NBA fan free agent. I won't be cheering for a franchise that does a player dirty like the Mavericks did Luka
Lakers needed a Center, and nope they made it worse by trading AD away. They don't have any defense up front and below the rim. MAybe they will make a trade or something for Myles Turner. Mavs get AD which will definitely boost their defense, but Gafford and Lively is already there, and AD is 31 years old. What on earth is the Mavs GM thinking...
I think it’s a plus for the Mavs chances to win a title in the near term…. What most casual fans don’t know is about Max Christie…. He is a up and coming star…. He can defend against the best…. Not big man but all others… Mavs fans remember this name…. Max Christie….. ok now I think mavs got stale with Luka and vice versa…. So they did it…. It’s a great long term deal for the lakers but this year barring another big deal for a big man the lakers are not going anywhere 🤷🏽♂️. Mavs fans I think you’ll have a good shot at it.
The reason why Pau trade went down was because the grizzlies were fully aware of the development of Marc Gasol. Just because 28 other teams around the league and their fan bases didn’t know what Marc Gasol was gonna become doesn’t mean that the Lakers and grizzlies didn’t understand.
I pride myself on knowing exactly what to say about trades exactly when they happen. I was just in shock for a while on this one before making the video

As a die-hard AD fan…yeah, I’m completely speechless, how did everyone agreed to this trade? I mean in my opinion both that’s lost in this trade. The Lakers lost their one and only defensive source and a young man with decent scoring ability for a potential defensive crash out? And the Mavs gave away their cornerstone for an even bigger injury prone. All I can say is, there are something more to it.
This move reminds me the Chicago Bulls Jerry Krause move back in 1998, the bulls have never recovered since that
This needs to get vetod
We got Luka let's goooooooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where are Luka’s touches and minutes going to come from with Bronny there already?
Hypothetically, the Mavs and the Lakers exchanged Top 10 players...but in reality the Mavs gave the Lakers a Top 10 player in the league while the Lakers gave the Mavs a Top 10 consistently unavailable player in the league and 1 SINGLE FIRST when guys like Gobert, PG, Durant at 35, MIKAL BRIDGES etc went for 5+ firsts
Top 10 cmon you are forgetting the numbers luka did last year..
Luka literally got better every year he hasn’t even peaked yet. Like his first trip to the playoffs after getting knocked out in round 1, next time knocked out in round 2, then eventually made the finals. You can definitely build around him
2025 just started, this feels like a fever dream bru
Now, I'm convinced that the NBA had a say on this trade.
Unless Mavs have found out that Luka will retire or die next year, this do not make any sense. Gafford is fucked, Lively fucked, Kyrie is fucked, AD is fucked, PG is fucked, Mavs fans are fucked me included.
Correction: Not a Mavs fan anymore. I don't need this kind of shit to push me further down, life is trying to do enough already.
If Bron had anything to with this trade, going forward I will shat on him as well whenever I get a chance to do so.
I don’t think LeBron has weight to make an entire franchise trade their star…
Nico Harrison is a secret Lakers fan that infiltrated the Mavs front office for this
Bro what the hell is going on? That’s got to be the worst trade ever
Luka forcing a trade to play with Bronny
This is not just the craziest deal it was also the biggest steal in NBA history. Aging and injury prone AD and ONLY one first round pick 4 years from now. Crazyyy
Bro the NBA is going to manoeuvre a Mavs vs Lakers playoffs match up FOR SURE after this
LAKERS not making the play.offs...2 games vs OKC 3 vs Denver several vs BOSTON CLE MEMPH HOUST GSW....
LUKA will miss a month
It can’t be injuries as AD is injury prone too.
This has to be to improve NBA ratings, and has to be investigated!
Improove NBA ratings??? I am done with the NBA now
@@jnmc2498 they are trying but this will fail miserably
It's the complete wrong move. More nepotism and star stacking on the way
Less confidence in franchises and less and less reasons to be a lifetime fan when teams do these kinds of trades on the middle of the night
Yea this is definitely a rig job. This trade makes no sense no matter how you look at it. They wanna help LeBron because they think that will get them ratings.
Little do they know LeBron is the reason no one watches anymore. I’m a Cavs fan and Lebron has destroyed this league. I don’t watch a game anymore. And the Cavs are decent.
I think it started with the KD Warriors I mean LeBron's 3-1 comeback had the highest rated Game 7 in NBA History @@330wiz7
🐐
Mavs: we have a whiteboy
Lakers Management: Licking their lips salivating 😂😂
This is the rare trade that actually makes a franchise (The Lakers) a billion dollars more valuable. For AD and a 1st. Ludicrous.
Luka was in the MVP talk last year and we went to the finals. WTF!
Never forget : five more years with -15 with the ratings and the League is dead ! And the big financial crisis is not here, yet. It's just "Opeation save the League".
There is no other explanation. A drunken toddler wouldn't have made this trade. 20 other teams could have made better offers. Not to mention they should have gotten more from the Lakers
Get ready for Anthony Edwards in Dallas, or Miami...
@@stephengoodell5984yeah, if they wanted to really trade luka they would have announced it publicly so there would’ve been a bidding war to ensure they got the most value in return for Luka. what a joke
@@chummchumm I hope ratings go down even more with them possibly tampering. Imagine how all the dallas fans feel
Blessings from Taiwan 🇹🇼
So true....😂
So happy they choose the Lakers to get Luka 🏆
Jesus loves everyone 😇🥰
Well, this should increase Nba ratings
Two words, “luxury tax.” My city’s team lost their future because the billionaire owners didn’t want to pay him.
They won’t get any more of my money, that’s for sure. I used to buy tickets, merch, and never missed a game if I could help it. I’m a Spurs fan now, I don’t give a fuck
Something seems fishy about this trade for sure...top 3 player that just went to the finals for an aging always injured AD and a first...
This is going to go down as one of the very worst trades of all time
I was really thinking Tucker was already in bed and we weren't getting the video until morning. Craziest trade I've ever seen.
I woke up at like 2 AM ET. Just took me a while to get my thoughts together for obvious reasons haha
@@SportingLogicallygreat work. Tucker deserves to be tucked back into bed
The Dallas Mavericks just got older and more injury prone.
Nico Harrison been drinkin that Jerry Jones cool aid!
The mavs just signed their death warrant
Let's wait and see. AD without Lebron "-80 BPM" James... might be interesting.
He IS in his prime, after all.
Can someone break Luigi out of his cell, we got a name for the Mavs GM
They just went from a team that nobody hated, known for cool ownership and GM, a great finals title, and players like Dirk, and recent good times like the Luka and Kyrie duo.... Now they seem scuzzy.
This makes no sense for Dallas they could have got Ginnis instead of Anthony Davis.
I'd take a Giannis over AD any day. Instead the Mavs got robbed... that's not to say AD is bad but the guy is injury prone.
Luka just went from face to heel over night
Wtf was dallas thinking
I think if AD can stay healthy, the Mavs could end up on top of this trade.
As an OKC fan how did we let this slide? We could have got him easily for that price. We might have even got to keep J Dub, Chet and SGA. If AD and a first gets you Luka then I Hart, Dort, Topic, Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and as many firsts as you want should get that done.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
SGA as a shooting guard with Luka passing to him would break the NBA.
There's no way anybody other than the Lakers knew he could even be traded for lol
the mavs want to win now guess they think the league is weak
@ Exactly. Imagine also having Chet and J Dub? 😵I remember arguing with a Mavs fan like a year ago that if OKC wanted Luka we could get him and I said hypothetically we could just throw 5 young pieces and 10 first rounders if we wanted because we have so many assets and his response was "that still wouldn't be enough to get it done" 😅
I’m a hockey fan, never even seen a game of basketball, and even I’m stunned
I've been a Mavericks fan for nearly 30 years. This would be like trading Durk in 2006 for Ben Wallace. I'm done. I'm officially an NBA fan free agent. I won't be cheering for a franchise that does a player dirty like the Mavericks did Luka
Durk?
@@douglasmurdoch7247 Derk.
same, just officially turn myself a mavs and nico harrison hater
bruh AD is 10x the player ben wallace is at minimum top 6 in the league
AD is WAAAAAAAY better than ben wallace.. cmon now
It’s just insane that the mavericks just were in the finals and decide to trade a top 5 player in the league.
Lakers needed a Center, and nope they made it worse by trading AD away. They don't have any defense up front and below the rim. MAybe they will make a trade or something for Myles Turner.
Mavs get AD which will definitely boost their defense, but Gafford and Lively is already there, and AD is 31 years old. What on earth is the Mavs GM thinking...
This trade is more about the future rather than today
Exactly, this smells like a LeBron trade in my opinion.
@@danialhashmi6078luka is always injured and plays no defense
Short term setback for Long Term gain. Someone was eventually going to have to replace LeBron as the leader and AD wasn’t that guy imo as a Lakers fan
@@Lev782 but wasn't that supposed be Austin Reaves
The Lakers could trade Luka tomorrow for genuinely like 10 first round picks. There's literally zero downside!
Corruption!
Yeah Maybe it's selenskjy's fault.... 🤣🤣🤣 That sob
The illuminati is real lol
More like the ✡️ mafia
Not even clickbait I am speechles like fish underwater
Dallas didnt want to pay Luka 70 million a year.. hes always out of shape and doesn't play defense
bro someone turned on trade overide wtf
That someone is probably named ADAMoviç SILVERomovïč
You know it's bad when even Timberwolves fans are here commenting "wtf" at 5am.
This makes no sense. If the mavs floated this out to all other 28 teams I bet they would have got at least 20 better options than this.
28 better offers
How about Embiid for Luka straight up? Much better for the Mavs and Philly would have done that in a second.
Oh HELL nah, Silver hacked the Mavs trading database🤣☠️
he was drafted by Atlanta but traded to Dallas on draft night
If the Mavs dont win a title in the next 2 years, this will be one of the worst trades ever
This is the kinda thing that should bring down the NBA.
I think it’s a plus for the Mavs chances to win a title in the near term…. What most casual fans don’t know is about Max Christie…. He is a up and coming star…. He can defend against the best…. Not big man but all others… Mavs fans remember this name…. Max Christie….. ok now I think mavs got stale with Luka and vice versa…. So they did it…. It’s a great long term deal for the lakers but this year barring another big deal for a big man the lakers are not going anywhere 🤷🏽♂️. Mavs fans I think you’ll have a good shot at it.
wtf are the mavs doing!? 🤦🏻♂️🤣
Adam Silver needs to stop[ tampering cause this shit is getting to blatant
This is definitely not a win now situation for the Lakers. Because there is no way they're getting past OKC or Denver this year.
One thing is for sure is that Lakers secured their future.
They weren't getting past them either way.
The reason why Pau trade went down was because the grizzlies were fully aware of the development of Marc Gasol. Just because 28 other teams around the league and their fan bases didn’t know what Marc Gasol was gonna become doesn’t mean that the Lakers and grizzlies didn’t understand.
I stood in Talley in shock for 30 minutes
I pride myself on knowing exactly what to say about trades exactly when they happen. I was just in shock for a while on this one before making the video
Lakers need to trade LeBron now.
