@@centristamerican7845Anthony Davis is a top 10 player. If you’re not getting Jokic, Giannis or SGA back, what other 25 teams had a package to beat AD?
@jmyrt5118 anthony Davis is a top 10 player WHEN HEALTHY. Luka is also better and younger. What teams could have offered better packages, you ask? The spurs, with their crazy amount of picks and young talent. OKC, with their wealth of picks and young talent. Even a contending team like Boston could easily offer more. This is a move made solely to keep the lakers relevant and it makes no sense for the mavs at all.
The rockets, with their wealth of picks and young talent. Could have tried getting Bradley Beal from the suns even. Beal is healthier and therefore a better option to trade for than AD, imo
I refuse the notion that AD is even top 10 anymore. He's always been fragile and continues to get worse and more fragile. Can't play the 5 without getting hurt despite being better for his team as a 5
People are calling the Nico/JKidd video a "press conference". Call it what it was...the JKidd hostage video. People said you were crazy for photoshopping Luka in a Lakers jersey because we all assume that people in those positions aren't imbeciles. Clearly, we overestimated Nico.
There's gotta be a secret reason. No shot you trade debatably the #2 player in the entire league over concerns of conditioning/injuries, for an older player whose also injury prone. They also say they're in a better spot to win after Luka just took them to the final... I just don't buy it.

The Mavs don’t want any picks. They want to win now to justify this atrocious trade. Also, the main reason, IMO, for trading Luka is the Mavs’ ownership. They didn’t want to pay the supermax.

This was worse than NYG letting Saquon Barkley go for Daniel Jones!! Someone smoking crack rock in NYG front office and someone gave Dallas some crack rock too
NBA needed this trade … views have been at a all time low & LeBron about to leave the league… we all know the NBA thrives when the Lakers are doing good …. Luka lakers … that’s something to watch
It really boils down to money for the Mavs owners. They aren't basketball people, I figured they think luka benefits their assets in Las vegas casinos. More money flowing through LA which means more people spending money in Las Vegas. There is also rumors of them moving the Mavs to Las Vegas.
no question that Davis is not durable. but he is All-NBA. and the Mavs only have to win one chip with him to justify this move. As a Toronto Raptors fan, this reminds me of the Raptors getting Leonard for 1 year. The rest is history!
Luka@7:40 the same nonchalant look I have on my face when someone takes my drink, talking about " I've had enough to drink" lls gtfoh back to the bar I go 😂😂😂😂
AD wasn't the problem on the Lakers. You got a traded a top 10 player in the NBA for a top 5 player.... If you're not winning with the top 10, you ain't winning with the top 5. And to make things worst. The top 10 could be a top 5 if it wasn't for the problem Lakers have!
0:14 fight is so real....truly what J Kidd is thinking in his head "Why you trade away Luka ？ Why？！！！" Congratulations to 3 teams getting what they wanted. 🎉🎉🎉 Blessings from Taiwan 🇹🇼 🥳 Jesus loves everyone 😇 🥰
I feel like both teams got worse; Mavs got AD which is nice but this system was proven and built around Luka so idk if this makes them a championship team now Lakers get Luka in his prime but won’t be able to put a good roster around him for a couple years and this could waste his prime years
Considering Mavs got under the luxury tax, I would imagine the owners didn't want to pay it and so Nico felt it was his best option to get Davis. Except Nico can't throw his boss under the bus.
Dallas will be better off in the short term compared to the lakers (unless they scrounge a crazy deal for a center in 3 days) but lakers better off in the future as long as Luka stays.
Here’s my Tinfoil Hat/Conspiracy Theory: Adam Silver went to Nico Harrison and told him to trade Luka to the biggest market in the NBA. This is some kind of desperation move to try and save the NBA viewing ratings by forming a new dynasty in LA.
When the Mavericks traded Mark Aguirre, I have never looked back. This wreaks of the same "DUMB FRONT OFFICE" energy. New ownership, she's hands-off which means she COULD be lazy. She just let the cash cow out of the door for a whiny, injury-prone 30something. Firing him isn't punishment enough. This dude just screwed a franchise. He must be completely oblivious to basketball in the DFW area.
Respectfully I think Luca is way better than harden. Bro was already really good overseas before the nba. Plus Luca led his team to the conference finals appearances and a finals. Harden even after getting multiple other stars couldn't reach that. That said ofc my team the dubs was in their dynasty period so harden never reached the summit
The Mavericks said they want to win now, so trading for a "haul of draft picks" will not accomplish that. And from past examples, these trades tend to work out differently than people expect.
Nico: I'm the one making decisions and J (Jason Kidd) was supportive of it Kidd on the outside: 😂 Kidd on the inside: (This madafaka, I'm just here so that I won't get fired)
Leflop demanded this and Adam Silver made Dallas make this deal. Now ESPN will spread the propaganda saying Leflop did not know. LOL. What a joke. Hopefully they asked Bronny first.
I don’t know why people are confused about the Mavs not letting everyone know Luka was available. They ONLY wanted Anthony Davis, unless there’s another team I’m not aware of who also has Davis, why would they need to let everyone know if this is the specific player they wanted.
14:49 "I thought I'd spend my career here and I wanted so badly to bring you a championship." This. Mavs fans knew he'd go the Dirk way... That's why this utterly hare-brained trade makes absolutely no sense to Mavs fans. Loyalty never fades away.
I’m not mad as an LBJ fan but man am still in a loss of words that the Mavs just shut their championship window down completely after trading their best player that they’ve ever had since Dirk Nowitzki in Luka Doncic, like bro that trade for AD just doesn’t make sense at all whatsoever and I still can’t even wrap my head around it. Like bro why??? Why would you do this???!!!! 🤨🙄🤦🏻♂️
No, this trade is absurd. The only thing i can think of is something about Nico making deals in private. Or the new Mavs owner saying "No, im not paying Luka a third of a billion dollars."
The Elite: people are up to what's going on in the world and the planes, fires, diddy and epstein list, what can we do? Elite secretary: let's have something that doesn't make sense happen. The Elite: ah, let's have a Luka for Davis trade happen right now.
Mike ! 🤦🏿♂️ I gotta be honest brother I’m a lakers fan myself but the politics of both sports (football & basketball) are starting to show itself. The Kansas City robbery, now this ? It’s off, all of it is off.
I am totally serious: this trade must be illegal. They traded some HUMAN BEING without him noticing a thing. This is some selling your dautgher to some king without her consent kind of thing. It's utterly disrespectfull as a human being to be traded like that without even being informed about it. Completely disgusting behavoir, and, of course, criminal behavior.
Nico LOVES AD so much, he was willing to risk the injury-prone Luka. That's it. He's wanted AD here in Dallas for YEARS... now he has it. Stupid move, because YOU TAKE THAT RISK 10/10 times with a talent like Luka. He'll come back home eventually.
Take it from a person who is going through this. If Luka is having an alcohol issue, it doesn’t get better after 25, I don’t know about Davis, but I haven’t seen any manager take a drink from him.
you answered the balance of the trade yourself without realizing it, if Gobert costs 4 FRP then Davis would cost 8FRP, AD is on a completely different lvl compared to Gobert
Whatever "health" or "conditioning" problems Luka might or might not have will be solved when Rob Pelinka starts giving him whatever the hell LeBalco has been taking!
❤❤🎉Turn to Jesus people, he died for your sins. Repent of what the New testament describes as sin. Believe the gospel get baptized and obey the teachings of Jesus. The gospel and the teachings of Jesus are documented in Matthew Mark Luke and John. Jesus is the only way to be saved, if you have faith in Jesus through your faith you will live by his teachings. God bless 😊😊😊
Also, in 7yrs, he has not played a complete season. His conditioning is a big issue. That's why he was traded. That kinda player doesn't deserve a Supermax contract.
He's played 72, 61, 66, 65, 66, and 70 games each season. Not counting the 22 this season. Yall need to quit this narrative like he's some banged up player and misses substantial time yearly when you got players like Ben Simmons, Joel Embid. Kawai, and he'll AD himself. Luka averages 60 games a season. That's especially for today's game. It is a remarkable feat when you get load management and all this rest games. This is legitimately his first season he's hurt and missed a great deal of time. Cut that wild narrative out please.
The AD disrespect is crazy. Buddy has been relatively healthy for about 3 ish seasons now. Dude just had a 40-20 game. THE MAVS MADE THIS TRADE BECAUSE THEY ARE GETTING A UNICORN THAT IS AD! HE FITS WHAT THE MAVS NEED. AND IS ELITE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL!!!
One thing about the Luka trade that not alot of people are talking about is how much the trade devalued star players. I mean look at the fox trade no offense but the king got robbed in plain daylight with that trade. The fact they didn’t even get Atlanta pick or a young player for a star level player is absurd. And I think we will continue to see that trend. I’ll be surprised if we get another Rudy gorbert or bridges trade where you dump 5+ picks.

Kidd on the inside: (This madafaka, I'm just here so that I won't get fired)
Look
How wild this is. Luka and kyrie with a bunch of role players got the mavs to the finals. Ungrateful
The GM has been looking to sign AD for YEARS thats why
Leflop demanded this and Adam Silver made Dallas make this deal. Now ESPN will spread the propaganda saying Leflop did not know. LOL. What a joke. Hopefully they asked Bronny first.
I don’t know why people are confused about the Mavs not letting everyone know Luka was available. They ONLY wanted Anthony Davis, unless there’s another team I’m not aware of who also has Davis, why would they need to let everyone know if this is the specific player they wanted.
14:49 "I thought I'd spend my career here and I wanted so badly to bring you a championship."
This. Mavs fans knew he'd go the Dirk way...
That's why this utterly hare-brained trade makes absolutely no sense to Mavs fans. Loyalty never fades away.
Luka will never hoist a 🏆. Now, he'll get to never hoist one for the next 10 years on the NBA's most liked/disliked franchise. Love it
Maybe Dallas is smarter than we think. They traded Luka to the most dysfunctional organization which would be the least threat to them in the future.
If Luka doesn't resign in LA, his buddy Jokic would be happy to have him
I’m not mad as an LBJ fan but man am still in a loss of words that the Mavs just shut their championship window down completely after trading their best player that they’ve ever had since Dirk Nowitzki in Luka Doncic, like bro that trade for AD just doesn’t make sense at all whatsoever and I still can’t even wrap my head around it. Like bro why??? Why would you do this???!!!! 🤨🙄🤦🏻♂️
No, this trade is absurd. The only thing i can think of is something about Nico making deals in private.
Or the new Mavs owner saying "No, im not paying Luka a third of a billion dollars."
So….. no one remembers Luka actually saying he wanted to play with LeBron ..
The Elite: people are up to what's going on in the world and the planes, fires, diddy and epstein list, what can we do?
Elite secretary: let's have something that doesn't make sense happen.
The Elite: ah, let's have a Luka for Davis trade happen right now.
Mike ! 🤦🏿♂️ I gotta be honest brother I’m a lakers fan myself but the politics of both sports (football & basketball) are starting to show itself. The Kansas City robbery, now this ? It’s off, all of it is off.
considering his contract is expiring pretty soon there’s no guarantee he stays. makes sense why they’re not getting as many draft picks.
I am totally serious: this trade must be illegal. They traded some HUMAN BEING without him noticing a thing. This is some selling your dautgher to some king without her consent kind of thing. It's utterly disrespectfull as a human being to be traded like that without even being informed about it. Completely disgusting behavoir, and, of course, criminal behavior.
This is just like when the Orlando Magic traded Shaquille O'Neal to the Lakers
Nico LOVES AD so much, he was willing to risk the injury-prone Luka. That's it. He's wanted AD here in Dallas for YEARS... now he has it. Stupid move, because YOU TAKE THAT RISK 10/10 times with a talent like Luka. He'll come back home eventually.
Dallas just doesn’t like Luka, just like they didn’t like Brunson. And guess what? The Lakers will welcome him with open arms.
Take it from a person who is going through this. If Luka is having an alcohol issue, it doesn’t get better after 25, I don’t know about Davis, but I haven’t seen any manager take a drink from him.
Depends on what you consider an issue. MJ was notorious for drinking and smoking
Luka is European bro they drink beer for breakfast as a family
I really hope the Mavericks franchise are not pulling a A's move.
At this point I strongly believe that the Mavs owners are trying to move the franchise to Vegas.
you answered the balance of the trade yourself without realizing it, if Gobert costs 4 FRP then Davis would cost 8FRP, AD is on a completely different lvl compared to Gobert
In LA, Doncic will have a whole different conditioning problem then.
Whatever "health" or "conditioning" problems Luka might or might not have will be solved when Rob Pelinka starts giving him whatever the hell LeBalco has been taking!
❤❤🎉Turn to Jesus people, he died for your sins. Repent of what the New testament describes as sin. Believe the gospel get baptized and obey the teachings of Jesus. The gospel and the teachings of Jesus are documented in Matthew Mark Luke and John. Jesus is the only way to be saved, if you have faith in Jesus through your faith you will live by his teachings. God bless 😊😊😊
Also, in 7yrs, he has not played a complete season. His conditioning is a big issue. That's why he was traded. That kinda player doesn't deserve a Supermax contract.
He's played 72, 61, 66, 65, 66, and 70 games each season. Not counting the 22 this season. Yall need to quit this narrative like he's some banged up player and misses substantial time yearly when you got players like Ben Simmons, Joel Embid. Kawai, and he'll AD himself. Luka averages 60 games a season. That's especially for today's game. It is a remarkable feat when you get load management and all this rest games. This is legitimately his first season he's hurt and missed a great deal of time. Cut that wild narrative out please.
The only explanation for any of this, and the only one I'm willing to accept is MAVERICKS are moving to Las Vegas, THAT'S IT.
The AD disrespect is crazy. Buddy has been relatively healthy for about 3 ish seasons now. Dude just had a 40-20 game. THE MAVS MADE THIS TRADE BECAUSE THEY ARE GETTING A UNICORN THAT IS AD! HE FITS WHAT THE MAVS NEED. AND IS ELITE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL!!!
One thing about the Luka trade that not alot of people are talking about is how much the trade devalued star players. I mean look at the fox trade no offense but the king got robbed in plain daylight with that trade. The fact they didn’t even get Atlanta pick or a young player for a star level player is absurd. And I think we will continue to see that trend. I’ll be surprised if we get another Rudy gorbert or bridges trade where you dump 5+ picks.
