Stephen A is bringing up something I discussed with my friend two weeks ago. NBA and NFL owners are going to reach a tipping point. They are getting tired of shoveling out max contracts to players who stay injured, miss a lot a games, can't stay in shape, diminish the organzation's reputation, and are toxic to team building.

Lets be right, both sides are selfish and only looking for their own interest, there is no loyalty from player or Owner these days. Players demand to be trade not because the Owner betrayed them, they do it for their own interest.
If you're being sold a product that seems waaaay more valuable than the asking price, you may want to ask yourself why someone would undersell such a product so valuable.
It’s the same organization that traded Brunson for peanuts. They take big risks when they think they’re worth it. I think too many ppl are trying to rationalize decisions that don’t make sense.
Luka is untouchable in the lakers and was untouchable until Cuban left, and in one year when they fired Nico Harris they will realize what stupid mistake they just made
@ free agents love to go to LA and now you got Luka, don’t worry it’ll be easier now for Luka to build a team and tell me you think the mavs are winning anything?? AD has 2 maybe three more years and then he is gone, you’ll see
These people on tv just be saying anything for content! The Mavs are idiots to say they have a better chance at winning a championship without Luka! Who tf is leading them to a championship on this team now?
An NFL team has a massive team. The NBA in its entirety has 560 active players and every team only has around 15. And 1 player is significantly harder to replace compared to the NFL. It's two very different sports and systems. Can't compare the two.
@ It's a very different sport though. Only 17 games per season and players only play 1 side of the ball and you might not even get many touches in a season despite how hard you work. That's why NFL players work extra hard for when the time comes and they can shine.
Then sign him and trade him elsewhere for tons of draft picks and players. Luka under contract could be exchange for more than what they are getting now.
Y’all keep saying the Mavs GM tripping when y’all know this type of move comes from the owner/owners of the Mavs. They didn’t want to invest all that money into Luka and be like the Philly Clippers or Suns.
To answer Molly’s question, what message does it send to the NBA players you have to go back to 2010 when LeBron decided to team up with his friends and go out to South Beach these billionaire owners was not gonna continue to let these players control the landscape of the NBA between the collective bargain agreement that has the three tier system, waking up and finding out that carl Anthony towns was traded with no news beforehand, and now Luka, the league is letting the players know who controls the league
No one suddenly became healthy. Most players sit at the request of the organization and the team doctor's, if it's up to the players, they'd play every night Stay in school, kid
A lot of people keep saying Dallas gonna loose offensively are y’all just talking AD average 25 ppg same as luka this year AD a champ luka not AD a better 2 way player 🎉🎉🎉 stop the disrespect
They lose out on the explosive nature of Luka scoring. I mean Luka can get you 50 against the best defenses. AD can have a consistent 28 with a 40 ball here or there with great D, but his motor cools off where he'll score 16 in some big games too on 15 shots only. They should add 1 more perimeter bench scorer
Everyone acting AD isn't averaging 25 points a game, 3 less points they Luka. Luka is subpar on defense and AD is one of the better defenders in the NBA.
These players are spoil and make way too much money to half way play basketball and complain about being privileged. Good job to the owners in taking the league back
Trade sucks for Dallas on paper. But if successful, win now experiment are the best memory of a franchise. Prime example is the 2019 raptors. Forever remembered. Lol
It really says to me that I don’t think a single big name player is going to accept a free agent contract anymore without a no trade clause. They keep asking who is untradable. Well, the guys with that in their contracts are untradable until they say so.

This, along with not offering Curry a signature shoe, caused the superstar to switch from Nike and sign with Under Armour.”
Maybe this will be the start of the NBA owners and GM's taking the league back from the players. No more guaranteed contracts and that no trade crap. Over the last 20 years players have shown the fans no Loyalty so why should the Owners. May be the owners are tired of paying a Butler for 82 games when you know that will be under 65. Butler for a career average is 14.7 per game for 82 games. That worth 50 mill a year? Your Super stars can't stay on the floor and are over paid for sure. You know Murray makes 20 mill more a year then Fox. GM's suck.
How do you know that? They both have 💍. Not Luka. They wouldn't have been to the finals without Kyrie. Whether they win a championship together remains to be seen. So, your point isn't valid Knock it off.
No but like, if anyone should be safe, it's players like Luka. This trade is an anomaly, a shocking one, and is either a tremendous miscalculation by the Mavs, or signs that Luka's injury is much, MUCH worse than it appears. This isn't a reality check, this is a fictional event made real.
Stop saying the Mavs cost Luka that money. That's the problem with ppl these days. They're always playing the victim and have no accountability. Luka cost himself that money. He chose the lifestyle he was living over getting that money, which is his choice to make, but he did it, not them.
The NBA owners are taking control back for the players. Miami with Butler. Mavs with Luka. The Lakers embarrassing LeBron and pushing him out for Luka.
simply mavericks didnt want a $350 millin dollar zion williamsnon/jimmy butler clone. mavericks just didnt like he had discipline problems and like all superstar players had ego and was no doubt talking back to the owner and tryinng to tell his employer what to do and owner said nope and thats it and they shipped him out the door before being stuck with a $350 million contract.
She is an example of someone who goes on tv to talk just to talk. What do you mean where they going to get there scoring after trading Luka. AD is averaging 25 PPG 11 rebounds
The saddest part is that the Mavs trusted Kyrie more than Luka because they traded 2 players that have historically had conditioning issues related to their injuries according to the organizations.
I knew this was coming. The owners were gonna fight back because they need to fight back, but I didn’t think that they were target Luca as the first victim. I thought it was gonna be Joel Embiid.
Good. I'm glad this happened. Teams need to restore the league. Players ruined the league with all that free agent bouncing around stuff. Dallas avoided what Dame did. Got the extension then demanded a trade. It's no one fault ight now but these players for the teams starting too trade them before their extensions. Good. Dame straight up robbed Portland. Foh. If you want these teams to realize that they should honor your demands then the players need to realize that the teams need to do what they need to do to not get robbed like Dame did. Make it make sense. You thought they was just going to keep letting players do that? It all started from Lbj leaving Cleveland, then KD next...weakest era ever. Killed the league with that bs.
Dallas about to get a reality check Ppl come to the stadium to watch luka and his magic Not sure what magic Davis has compared Enjoy the drop in ticket sales Also it’s questionable if the team atmosphere remains in tact after this move.

So yeah, Luka didn't respond
The NBA owners are taking control back for the players. Miami with Butler. Mavs with Luka. The Lakers embarrassing LeBron and pushing him out for Luka.
Nico was off them percocets when he was drinking coffee 😂😂😂😂
Why should there be ‘untouchables’…. Employees aren’t owners. Unfortunately
How will this affect LeBron’s legacy?
Listening to the joy coming out of these old heads about this situation just spell envy, jealousy and hate.
They are just tired of all these brats running around feeling entitled to get paid for mediocre work.
Nobody's safe, gtfoh, y'all still in the league and the players ain't loyal anyway
This is like Josh Allen or Joe Burrow getting traded
simply mavericks didnt want a $350 millin dollar zion williamsnon/jimmy butler clone. mavericks just didnt like he had discipline problems and like all superstar players had ego and was no doubt talking back to the owner and tryinng to tell his employer what to do and owner said nope and thats it and they shipped him out the door before being stuck with a $350 million contract.
Jokic the only one who is safe
Doesn't this apply to all jobs? Whether you are working at Walmart , McDonald's they can let you for performance reasons, budget cuts etc.
Bro I just thought of this. Luka got fired from the Mavs. That's wild to think about
She is an example of someone who goes on tv to talk just to talk. What do you mean where they going to get there scoring after trading Luka. AD is averaging 25 PPG 11 rebounds
Ok good luck.
how many buckets can AD create for others while still giving you that production?
@ that’s not what she said. She said about the points nothing about creating for others.
@@neryryn14 I’m asking you
@@neryryn14Thatsvwhat Kylrie is there for.
The saddest part is that the Mavs trusted Kyrie more than Luka because they traded 2 players that have historically had conditioning issues related to their injuries according to the organizations.
I knew this was coming. The owners were gonna fight back because they need to fight back, but I didn’t think that they were target Luca as the first victim. I thought it was gonna be Joel Embiid.
Dude don’t nobody care, because Patrick Mahomes didn’t know about the Luka trade..smh
Good. I'm glad this happened. Teams need to restore the league. Players ruined the league with all that free agent bouncing around stuff. Dallas avoided what Dame did. Got the extension then demanded a trade. It's no one fault ight now but these players for the teams starting too trade them before their extensions. Good. Dame straight up robbed Portland. Foh. If you want these teams to realize that they should honor your demands then the players need to realize that the teams need to do what they need to do to not get robbed like Dame did. Make it make sense. You thought they was just going to keep letting players do that? It all started from Lbj leaving Cleveland, then KD next...weakest era ever. Killed the league with that bs.
Lebron and beal is the only 2 that are untouchable because they both have a no trade clause
And because nobody else wants them
Dallas about to get a reality check
Ppl come to the stadium to watch luka and his magic
Not sure what magic Davis has compared
Enjoy the drop in ticket sales
Also it’s questionable if the team atmosphere remains in tact after this move.
I really thought Luka would’ve had a statue infront of Jerry World
The owners don’t care about championship over money, first KAT now Luka . Two title contending teams
KAT is doing quite fine in New York even when everyone was saying it was the worst trade.
KAT is doing quite fine on the Knicks.
4 the next 10 years, Nico Harris HAS to be Luka’s biggest hater for his careers sake.
People are acting like they are victims the players are the problem not the GMs
Do yall think the jimmy butler situation results in nba contracts not being fully guaranteed ?
Stephen A: Why is it -- We've got a better chance of winning WITHOUT Luca? Why isn't it -- We've got a better chance of winning WITH AD?
This is the beginning of the end of player empowerment I can see this happening a whole lot in the future
Great work from Shams for breaking the story. A shout out needs to go to him.
He’s been on fire these last months. He got the Jimmy Butler trade before anyone else did.
Embid is the first one to get traded 😂
Mavs: "We'll give you AD for Lu...."
Lakers: "We'll take it"
The other question is will players think twice about going to Dallas if they treat their superstars this way.
Bron in that nursing home sweating bullets
LeBron has no trade clause didn't y'all forget that? LeBron only getting traded if he wants to
Try this move on 2K and they would've told you to GTFOH lol.
