I remember literally praying and thanking God for the Pau Gasol trade. Trading Kwame for Pau was like Jesus turning water to wine. Plz excuse me for being all religious. That’s how it was to me at the time.
@@encinobalboaAbsolutely. And Luka appears to be the same weight as he was last year, that is, when he got off the plane yesterday. I think Nico is power tripping and people close to the organization claim that is all it is now.
To be fair, he held the line and refused to give more away. It's true that Nico could have walked away and talked to other teams, but maybe Pelinka knew he wouldn't. They are friends and have been talking about this for months. Maybe Pelinka maneuvered it so that Nico would believe this was his best chance to "win" the trade. In business there are no friends and if you think you have one who's interests don't align with yours but he still has your best interest at heart (because he's your "friend"), you've already lost and it's just a matter of how badly.
Yes that would be great, so the Celtics can beat him and them, again. This Lakers lineup is no better than the Mavs. Where is the defense? Will Luka listen to LeBron? If there is hope it will start there. Otherwise Zion 2.0 trends could continue.
Y’all must be new to basketball. Y’all keep talking bout he’s back. Jalen was tryna mixed business with pleasure over at ESPN and that went left real quick. Molly wasn’t feeling him like that, she did him dirty and she made him look stupid.
Notice how all articles/sports media talk about is why Mavs made the deal? And absolutely nothing about why Lakers made the deal? It’s because acquiring a generational talent at 25 years old, who just led his team to the finals, who will be breaking several records for years to come, who will be a pereniall MVP candidate, who will be attracting other stars to play with him, and who is one of the most marketable athletes in the league is an absolute NO BRAINER. Everyone knows this was a dumb trade for the Mavs. I smell some collusion happened behind the scenes.
There are two things that could have made this worth it for the Mavs. 1: they believe he will have Kawhi like health issues (smart move mavs). 2: owners are concerned about Salary and dont want him to set the market expectations with a supermax deal. Luka lost 116 million because of this trade, and the players association should have something to say about it in the next collective bargaining agreement. (Sketchy collusion move).
@@Ramza2004 Alotta teams could put together a package for a superstar but if you give up to much it’s pointless Lakers are going to need a star and at least two other solid players just to have a chance at winning and that’s not happening anytime soon meanwhile Dallas can plug Anthony Davis right in and immediately be able to contend
@@saffegis I ain’t gonna lie brother. Once I posted this I instantly was like . “This disrespect I just put on AD . I agree brother , I agree . You got me on that one lol
@@melvinhhcp3615 the lakers 100% did not get finessed . They gave up an all star in AD that is 31. For an all star in Luka who is 25. I do agreee the mavs have a better chance on winning now. But when it comes to the future within the next 10 years. The lakers won this trade . It’s plain and simple. Mavs want to win now. Lakers don’t want to win the future
Luka lost $100 million in salary because of the trade. If he gives even the slightest effort, he can make 5 times that much because he's playing in LA.
Sadly, that's where we are with Luka right now... "If only this guy made the 'slightest effort' for his hundreds of millions of dollars!" LMAO ... what a joke. Yeah, he's the perfect fit for the Lakers...
Great to see Jalen Rose analyzing ON NBA Channel. He’s one of the best analyst, great basketball mind and insights as well as a former player. VC as well. Good job NBA
As a Laker fan I loved AD and thank him for helping us get another Chip but after that he's always missing alot of games because of injuries and his knees. This was a MASSIVE pick up for us. Can't wait to see what Luka does in that Purple and Gold.
Rob Pelinka didn’t do anything. Nico Harrison was the one who secretly only contacted the Lakers on behalf of the Mavs. If anything, the Lakers need to build a statue for Nico. Everybody knows he was working for the Lakers best interests anyway.
They are worried about his weight the same way they are worried about Jokic's weight. Guess what, still an MVP calibre. NBA is not about loyalty it’s all business They did Luka so dirty I still can’t believe it 😢
They only lack Center, look at wing they have it. Vando, Dorian Finney, Rui, only center is what they need and I think 1 more trade coming before deadline. Either Gabe Vincent, Reaves, or Rui will be on the package.
Did you see them beat the Knicks on Saturday? Their defence looked great. Now they’ve lost Max Christie, but that’s Luka’s place to step into that role. We will see but the Lakers have been building momentum the last few weeks, and it started with better defence.
@@lbrn8198Hopefully not Rui - he balled out on Saturday. So did Reaves but I think Reaves is the odd man out with Luka coming in, so I’m surprised the Mavs didn’t push for him over Christie. Maybe the Lakers want to hold onto Reaves in case Luka doesn’t get in game shape until next season, haha.
These are the only two guys on NBA talkshow that talks sense with regards to the Luka Trade and what he can do in LA. IMO the new Dallas ownership doesn’t care about winning more than about earning more money. It’s about business and profit. Players, wether you’re a megastar or a reserve, you are considered only as a pawn or a piece in a game of business.
If the Lakers get another big man and maybe another 3&D guy, the Lakers will be tough to beat this year. This idea that they aren’t contenders this year anymore doesn’t make sense.
If Lakers get a legit center before the deadline, I think they'll be serious contenders this year and next. Their offense is going to be damn near unguard-able with those 2 out there. The play making is off the charts. Going to be fun to watch
@ I agree they have a defense problem for sure but if they get a rim protecting big man, they will be okay defensively. They still have other decent 2 way guys on their roster and Lebron should be able to give a little more effort on D now that Luka is there
@@Theplaystands there are very few big man who provide that inside presence. The teams that have that are not going to part with them easily. And Lakers only have one more first round draft pick for quite a while.
Spot on, Dallas wasn't willing to pay him, simple as that. This isn't being said enough. All this talk about his conditioning is just because they won't say new ownership is cheap
Put some respect into Davis. He is a better defensive player than Luca, a better rebounder, and a better shot blocker. This is not a one-sided trade, and Davis also scores a lot of points.
What we do not know is how serious the injury of Luca is. If the Achilles tendon is damaged, he will not be able to compete on the top level for a long time because it simply doesn’t work no matter wait he has. But Lakers probably wanted to give it a chance.
0:20 “…on December 17, 2004, new general manager Rob Babcock traded Vince Carter to the New Jersey Nets for Alonzo Mourning, Aaron Williams, Eric Williams and two first round draft picks…” Jason Kidd never got traded to the Raptors 😁
i cant believe no one figured the reason out why this trade took place? the new ownership is trying to get the gambling casino resort passed and they want the city to pitch in building a new arena. they cant do that when they are selling out the arena. if they dont get their way they will move to vegas. its all about the sports and gambling and leverage play
This season will be entertaining. I just feel like Luka needs time to adjust and get in shape. It’s a different life he’s going to. Give him time, no more muscle tears
Jalen forget about Luka contract though. It’s going to be tough to build around him, and some players are not going to want to watch him dribble the air out of the ball.
Remind me again. What did AD accomplish before joining Lebron in LA? How mamy times did he carry his former team to the finals or at least the playoffs? AD is a good player, but Luka is on another level. There are levels to this game, if you are a long time basketball fan you would recognize that.
i usually think Jalen is right but this trade is better for Dallas.... now... not five years from now.... was good you said lakers wont win another with Lebron so this is not about now but the future.
I don’t care about why it happen…as a fan the NBA is actually interesting again. You can legit say Luka will be the fave of the league now going into the future.
3:03 how dare they not include Gasol in the graphic. Allstar. Hall of fame. Olympic medalist. Fiba world champ. 2xNBA champ.
Same reason the Mavs traded Luka. Xenophobia
that graphic was of people who came to the lakers as a star. rather than people who became a star, on the lakers. thats why no kobe
True but I can 1 up u, Kobe Bryant, he was a trade

@@encinobalboaAbsolutely. And Luka appears to be the same weight as he was last year, that is, when he got off the plane yesterday. I think Nico is power tripping and people close to the organization claim that is all it is now.
The problem is Lakers would need a AD caliber player to pair with Luka to have any chance at winning and that won’t be happening anytime soon
This was nice lol
@@LC-jq7vn Truth is, Mavs didn't want to sign a 345 million contract this summer.

Gasol was another trade for the Lakers in 2008. That was a huge trade at the time as well.
No it wasn’t stop with the lies he was not a superstar so he don’t belong with those other 6 players that was on the screen
For kwame, that deserve some investigation
Not even remotely close.
@nan5715they got Marc gasol too man 😂 not just kwame😂😂😂 still need investigation tho
No. It's not Pelinka who should get a statue. It's the Dallas GM. Pelinka's biggest contribution was he picked up his phone.
Nah. Word is that he talked Harrison out of wanting AR and Knecht. That's a solid job.
Pelinka definitely has dirt on Dallas GM 😂
Bro!!!!! 💯% 🤣🤣😆
With the new rule of the Nba, it is just the end of an era of lazy players getting a big contract.
To be fair, he held the line and refused to give more away. It's true that Nico could have walked away and talked to other teams, but maybe Pelinka knew he wouldn't. They are friends and have been talking about this for months. Maybe Pelinka maneuvered it so that Nico would believe this was his best chance to "win" the trade.

Tbh the trades that Pelinka do it mostly make sense. Its when LeBron starts getting involved, like Westbrook deal, thats when things get screwed up
That's an interesting point about the Mavs trying to tarnish his reputation....🤯
It's something that you would expect from Jerry West.
Mad respect for AD
He helped Laker win a championship, jow he help Laker get Luka.

Rob still needs to go. His tenure has been long enough. Atleast leave on a good note, because most fans couldn't stand him until this trade happened.
Jalen Rose a real one

Remind me again. What did AD accomplish before joining Lebron in LA? How mamy times did he carry his former team to the finals or at least the playoffs? AD is a good player, but Luka is on another level. There are levels to this game, if you are a long time basketball fan you would recognize that.
LA deserves a roster that will continue it’s legacy and need someone to build a team around in the near future.
i usually think Jalen is right but this trade is better for Dallas.... now... not five years from now.... was good you said lakers wont win another with Lebron so this is not about now but the future.
