Because this trade don't make sense. Team was build around Luka, to make it work with AD Mavs need another trade for playmaker to compensate lost of Luka. And all of that just to 2 year window to win a chip and go to rebuild. With Luka Mavs would have 5+ year to win, with AD only 2-3 at max, that's just stupid, don't even consider that Luka was face of Dallas.
everyone talking how offensively superior luka is, consider that he and ad have the same number of 40+ point games this season, and luka has only one more 30+ point game than ad this season. the biggest difference is DEFENSE. and if you think ad is hurt too often compared to luka, consider that luka has missed more games this season than ad. 🙃
@GodBody-Alius Did you actually watch Dirk in his prime years? That's not disrespectful at all. Luka had not yet achieved what Dirk did as a Mavs player. Do I think Luka is a generational talent? Of course! Is Luka a special player whose talent surpasses even Dirk? Yes. Is he the best player the Mavs ever had? No. He did not reach the accomplishments that Dirk did: League MVP in 2007, beating the stacked LeBron & DWade team in the Finals (2011), and winning Finals MVP (2011). Luka had not done those things yet. Not too mention Dirk had a whole signature move that others adopted, the one legged fade away.
Not only did Nico set this franchise back decades, he uttered in the modern day curse of the Bambeno. There is literally no upside for the Mavericks in this trade.
Didn't the adelson's buy the maveicks to have political influence in Texas? Legalizing gambling was the reason as far as i know. I think they couldn't care less about the people in Dallas, the fans, the player. I mean their business is to rob people, make them gambling addicts an earn lot's of money with evil, evil stuff. It's fucking the world with greediness.
There is tons of upside why you talking like all superstars win rings and Luka is guaranteed to win. We seen him in the finals he got picked on like he was Rudy gobert and cried and embarrassed the franchise acting like a child. This may cause him to get his act together but he was never gonna do that for the mavs he got too much power too early and he acted like a spoiled brat.
With this trade, the Mavs saved $130 million. They simply didn’t want to pay $345 million over 5 years. Yes, Luka’s "diva" attitude and his conditioning didn't help, but the primary issue was the financial burden. Also, the Mavs now have P.J. Washington, Kyrie Irving, and Klay Thompson-all of whom provide similar production. However, they lack an elite rim protector and a top-tier scorer like Anthony Davis. Currently, the Lakers (with AD) are 5th in the West, while the Mavericks (with Luka) are 8th in the West Ty🙏
yeah.... it's just, Luka produced triple double almost every game, while those you mentioned, maybe have few in their entire life. Luka never had so average stats that any of those is capable to achieve too many times. Not to mention choke in important regular season, not to speak of play off
IMHO, in this age of super max 💵 players, we will begin to see more trades of top players in the future because teams are not willing to commit to the super max on a player that the teams don’t believe can win them a championship. Teams don’t want a Zion Williamson or Joel Embid situation hanging around their necks like an albatross
First smart and deep comment.. ppl always complain about " bad contracts" .. well this is how you avoid them .. if " being in shape" is hard for an athlete, I'm pretty sure that you are not a max deal material
We've seen a Luka in James Harden! An incredible scorer who plays no defense! Harden would've made the Finals if CP3 wouldn't have gotten injured! He sells tickets, but just like Harden, his ego is more important than winning! The Mavs won Big!
J williams is spot on.... These people who owns now the mavericks are not in for winning.... Look them up everybody can see it but you have to look for
How does anyone know, maybe Dallas TRIED to get everything from LA? If I’m Pelinka, I’d say YOU CALLED ME, I’m fine with my team. If you don’t like my return fine, I’ll go back to fine tuning my team. Dallas really wanted Davis and said fine.
Luka is a really great player offensively but he is ball dominant and hardly ever pass the ball which doesnt make anyone around him better plus he dont play defense and is usually not im shape Dallas won in this trade cause AD is a beast on both offense & defense and rebounds AD aint no scrub.. dont get it twisted
This is most certainly the worst trade in the Mavs history. Mark my words. I know that Mark Cuban had a stroke yesterday and Nico will eventually be fired for his decision. He will never be able to live down his decision to trade Luka, the most beloved sports figure in Dallas.
Ownership empowerment? lmao. THey just signed a new tv deal with the players, ain't no power changing. The only thing changing is that Mavs will be bottom of the West in 2 years.
I see the lakers building a new era team like golden state did. All players with size and athleticism but also shooting which they believe they can defend all positions swithching rotation outrunning outscoring everyone while bron can still takeover and finish games. If lakers get Dwight back they can win for sure
I really wish the lakers would've kept AD and somehow roped The bulls into the deal sending Lavine to the mavs a bunch of picks to the bulls along with Reeves, Hachimura, and Max Christie and then the lakers could've had Luka with lebron and ad
Okay, Im an old head NBA fan. Im 63yrs old and have religiously been watching the NBA since age 12 yrs old🗣️ listen up. Now mind you I've been a Laker Man before Magic came. Trust me, I got the inside. Rob Pelinka is channelling the spirit of Jerry West. And furthermore Im willing to bet anyone a fat man Rob will get GM of the Year Award. Rob bodied Nico and also became a liberator for the organization to loosen the grip of Klutch Sports and Lebron's spoiled boy temperament.
Max Christie gonna be a bench player from now on.. Hope im wrong. But his height is the problem for me.. Mavs has the height. So why Christie.. Hope im wrong
The one group that were not considered in the Luka for AD trade is the Dallas fans. Dallas fans loved watching Luka play. AD is a great player, but he is not Luka. The fans were not considered because the Mavericks team will be moved to Las Vegas in the next two years so, the fans do not matter.
😢😢😢😢😢😢sadly sad just a shame shame on the mavericks dumb dumb dumb 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤and if it works nobody is safe I pray 🙏 and hope my Memphis grizzlies don't do anything dumb 🙏 like that love my son ja Morant 😅😊😅
An unconditioned luka is better than Ad ..ad isnt clutch amd cant go get you a bucket when you need it ..better offense beats defense everytime and you cant even defend anymore cuz you get called for a foul for smelling too good😂😂😂
@@wilj72 Luka wouldn't had either if Kyrie got hurt vs wolves like cp3 got hurt against warriors...Luka hasn't had a season like harden's mvp season or even the year before that when Russ won it
@realezabrasilenaroachxbela2559 The man averaged a 40 point triple double in the playoffs at 24 yrs old. Put some respect on his name and stop hating. How old was James again?
Basketball can be broken down in three categories; scoring, rebounding and defense. Luka is better offensively but AD is head and shoulders better in defense and rebounding. AD is also averaging over 20 a game!!! Seems to me it’s all about Luka’s age…Calling Luka a once in a generational talent is a stretch!!!
ad is def a scorer, too. they both have the same number of 40+ point games this season, and luka only has one more 30+ point game than ad this season. 🙃
Best thing that could possibly happen to Luka. Luka may be great. He is great. He does not make those around him better. Great teams win championships. Remember your kindergarten teacher, “there is no I in t.e.a.m.” Max money would have tied Mavs up for years. New ownership group made a hole in one. Luka is much better off too, because now he has a chance to fulfill his potential as a player. “Gimme that beer, my boy”.
0:58 That laugh was awkward asl 😂 Kidd didn’t even want to laugh. He’s like dude idk if we should be laughing right now fam lol Also, this would have been a WOJ Bomb. Smh. WOJ was the goat.
Disgusting trade. Disgusting Nico and Adelsons. This is complete collusion between Nico LA GM and the league office. Complete foolish disgusting decision by the Mavs. These A holes ruined the Mavs and Mavs fan base and taking 10 years of multiple championships from Dallas fans. Completely disgusting deal. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
This is the worse Trade in NBA history. Now and 100 years from now. Disgusting Nico and Disgusting new Mavs owners ruined the Mavs and destroyed the Mavs fan base. I will not watch the Mavs nor buy tickets nor buy any of their merchandise for next 10 years. These A Holes ruined the Mavs and all Mavs fans. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
J Kidd doesn't look happy
everyone has it's own way to deal with happyness and how to show it. Maybe it's how he shows beeing happy. :D :D :D
He doesn't have to shake his head yes though
I hate that the lakers gave up max Christie
It's a leage move to help with ratings.
why they acting like AD a scrub ? these roll players aways got something to say .
He's definitely not but Luka healthy is top 3 in the league

You are right people talking like he's a bum
That’s what I’m saying .. AD @ the 4 is gonna kill
Because he is Mr. Glass.

Luka miss 20 games this year.
Anthony Davis who?
Luka is the best player the mavs ever had , they were in the finals just last year
Nah. Luka was on his way but that would be former MVP, finals MVP, and NBA champion...Dirk Nowitzki.
@@1z2x3c45bwowww!!! The disrespect
Until Luka proves himself as a champion and mvp. I’m still taking dirk over him.
Best no-ringer player in the franchise

AD will be 32 in March, not 31.
Mavericks just dont want to pay luka plan and simpole😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rather pay AD 😂
They not gonna pay him if his conditioning is poor and drinking beers all season
Exactly
Exactly right
Luka is an alcoholic and won't stop drinking that's why he's chubby
Everyone sleeping on Max Christie. He’s about to blow up as a solid role player who plays hard on defense.
You don't blow up, to be a solid role player 😂
Blow up to what?
Everyone on their knees with mouths open for Austin Reaves. Think Max is gonna be a much better player than that once he gets the reps.
He's already a solid role player.
Maybe not likely, but hope they win it all this year. All these mavs fans will be pretzels.
Luka came into the season 40 pounds heavier than last year and the Mavs just wanted him gone
LMAO!
LUKA IS NOT DALLAS BEST EVER HE WON NOTHING ITS STILL DIRK STOP IT HE WON BEFORE
Definitely its Dirk

If they win a chip before Luka is the deal then worth it?
if ad's incredible defense is not an upside, I must not know what that word means 😅
A.d was our defensive Goat
Lakes are 5-1 WITHOUT your defensive goat LOL
Trading Doncic for AD is nuts. I'll never watch a Mavericks game again.

@andrejgregoric1324 really? triple double almost every game? not exaggerating at all 😂 he had 3 triple doubles this season.
Mavs were 3rd before Luka got hurt 19-10 before Christmas game. without Luka they've been 7-14 without him now 26-24.
His Achilles about to blow out.
Lakers always win 🏆 I don't think lakers are done and who says Dallas can't win aswell with Davis.
So Dallas really thinks kyrie, klay and AD gonna win the chip??? No way. This was done by the nba to get ratings up.
Stop it
Those 3, with their underrated supporting cast, is more than sufficient. They’ll push OKC for the West.
@@SmoothieT33a push is less than the previous season, it's a failure
I wouldn't say no way...but the mavs def weren't gonna win with the previous lineup!
@@SmoothieT33😂😂 that's funny 😂 the Lakers have a better chance
They need to investigate this trade, something is fishy.
I agree, it happened way too easily for no one to have known
It’s money money money. NBA is a business, entertainment industry
I love that it was kept secret for weeks. Now everyone is talking.LOL

Good move lakers now lbj next need young players

lol sham: "mavs wanna pair kyrie with ad at the 5" - is he stupid? ad been yapping about demanding to play the 4 lol
We've seen a Luka in James Harden! An incredible scorer who plays no defense! Harden would've made the Finals if CP3 wouldn't have gotten injured! He sells tickets, but just like Harden, his ego is more important than winning! The Mavs won Big!
Harden never made the finals because he shrunk in big games. Luka is the opposite of that
Why at the end of these videos a Chinese woman come on. Far forward to 10:41. So weird !
Not just this one she’s on all the Luka coverage. Creeps me out.
LUKA is OFFICIALLY FACE OF THE NBA
J williams is spot on.... These people who owns now the mavericks are not in for winning.... Look them up everybody can see it but you have to look for
Nico Harris is Right he has to get Rings now Luka out of shape will be exposed against smart teams
It’s just a game plus the owners are tired of just paying money it’s just business get over it . more important issues are at stake
Folks know that LeBron requested Luka for AD and the deal was too sweet for the Lakers to overlook.
How does anyone know, maybe Dallas TRIED to get everything from LA? If I’m Pelinka, I’d say YOU CALLED ME, I’m fine with my team. If you don’t like my return fine, I’ll go back to fine tuning my team. Dallas really wanted Davis and said fine.

Well while LeBron is there he will learn how and when to pass it ,he will be schooled
he couldn't average 7.8 assists per game if he wasn't passing
good give the lakers embiid
Klay didn't look happy after the trade. He only had 2 points last night's game.
Let's go Lakers
Ad agency not filling up seats like Luka

@gheewhiz yeah that's up to lebron to help with conditioning and dog edge
LeBron and Luka the best duo in the league healthy
This deal was made between 2 Kobe representatives. Kobe’s Nike rep and his agent did a favor for a favor.
