Its a win win trade you look at ad and gaff at the paint, both of them shot blockers and Ad can play stretch 4 and to think that he is playing luka is not. This knicks game was the only game Ad missed he played the game prior. As for Luka when was the last time he has seen the floor and when you look at lakers roster now they are truly depleted at the front line their only legit big is Jaxson who only knows to catch lobs but if the rumor is true that they are also getting kessler for knect then that is another story but as of now to me the mavs won the deal because luka has not seen the floor for a very long time at least street clothes davis is playing this knicks game was the only game he missed
Luka is not perfect. He has his issues, BUT trade him at 25yrs old???? Mavs has no faith in their players. Even Zion has not been traded yet, even Jimmy Butler is not traded yet.
@@HabitualLine-Stepperlet’s face it tho they don’t stand a chance against okc with that team, it’s not a horrible team but they must believe they can win it all cause if not, luka goes for 5 picks MINIMUM
DAL just came from a Finals appearance. This is crazy no matter how you frame it. Franchise player that's younger and has been killing it on offense last few years was traded just like that. Now DAL has 3 centers, and LA has so many big guards.
Biggest? U havent got a clue Karim to the Lakers Shaquil from Orlando to the:Lakers this destroyed orlando and made the Lakers chmpions from 1999. Shaq to Miami in 2005 Miami become champions. Lebron to Miami Garnet and Ray Allen to Boston
Lmao imagine being frustrated with a guy that averages tripple double and takes you to the finals. He can smoke indica and drink ipa and he is still top 5 player. Nico needs to be deported
Out of shape or not, this was the dumbest move, offering your franchise player like he’s a two way contract player! & all because yall didn’t want to pay him? Yall use conditioning as an excuse? Ridiculous
With how the current CBA has been structured players are going to be the victim of these kind of trades. Luka to be paid 70 million albeit after 2 seasons is a huge risk Mavs were not willing to take when there is no exit options for the owners unlike in NFL or MLB. We have seen what happens when a player signs a huge contract (Joel Embid) and doesn't play because he is perennially injured the team suffers. Going forward a team may not offer full max extension unless the players agree to non-guaranteed years.
I predict Luca will never be the same player we've seen. I agree with Dallas. You can't win with him. We've seen many players that are stat stuffers who don't win, and Luca is all about Luca. I'm not sure he even cares if his team wins. Not only that, he is a MASSIVE defensive liability. People are glossing over this like it's no big deal when it's actually a huge deal. Look at the teams in the top right now. All of them are the best in defense.
@@whiteyobanion1104no way lakers winning anything with Luka LeBron and no defense. And the Mavs with a Luka wasn’t getting past OKC Memphis Houston or Denver in the playoffs. Those teams play defense. Now a healthy AD and the Mavs have a chance. LeBron can hang it up.
As a lifelong Dallas fan, I am proud that Dirk was a Maverick and was proud Luka was here. I am heartbroken, and after not missing any games in decades I don’t know if I will watch the Mavs again.
Yeah, I've been a Spurs fan since the mid 70s when they came down from Dallas. The Mavericks have always been my second favorite team. I really can't believe they just gave Luka away like they did. The trade makes no sense, at least for the Mavericks! I guess I'm going to have to find a new second team to pull for! The thought of Luka on the Lakers makes me want to puke!
your team just got better and can compete for a championship this year. For christ sake you have 2 hall of famers that are still in their prime. One guard and one big both with championship experience and complement each others strengths and weaknesses. Cheer up you might be back in the finals
They're worried about him being out of shape but for his career he's put up 28.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 8.3 assist. Out of 534 games he's played in 422 games. In the playoffs in 50 games he's averaged 30.9 points, 9.4 rebounds, 8.0 assist and 1.7 steals. All for Anthony davis who has played in 368 games out of 534. He's missed 54 more games and is 6 years older lol.
As a Mavs fan I am shocked, offended, sad, pissed, betrayed.. I feel like I just got cheated on and then beat up by the guy who nailed my girl.. this is unbelievable. I’ve been a MFFL for 35 years. Not anymore. This wouldn’t have happened if Cuban was still the owner. My guess is the new owners are going to move the team to Vegas where all of their casino money is.
As a mavs fan..I feel like Lebron to Miami all over again. That’s basicly what this is. It’s not going to work between Luka and lebron..both too ball dominate. We seen bron and Russ not work and Luka is too young to adjust for a bigger star than him. It’s a bad day to be a Mav fan.
Im a mavs fan and im optimistic. Look at lukas weight gain. Hes up to 270. And this is being pointed to injury issue. Honestly unless he gets back into shape the mavs could've just gotten him out at the perfect moment. But I also think if they REALLY wanted to trade him, we shouldn't have JUST went to the Lakers. We ask what they will give and hang up. You ask every other team and then evaluate what trade is the best.
@@lucidlyrics9398 Lebron was a free agent when he went to Miami. He didn't get traded. Mavs front office is incompetent for trading a 25 year old guy who's just about to enter his prime without making it known to the entire league so they could get the best package. I'm not even a Mavs fan and I'm shocked by this. Luka's just about to enter his prime. AD is near the end of his prime.
They could have sent Luka to any other franchise and got 8 first round picks and young all star level players. I have no idea what the Mavs are doing but that GM needs to be fired yesterday!
Dallas basically has the 2020 Lakers Championship formula. Dallas got better now. Lakers still need one or two moves to get better. This is not about stars it’s about team construction.
@@ElliotScottDating yeah there's been reports of his conditioning woes coming from the Mavs. And when you think about. What it takes working yourself back to full form from a calf injury. You just have to read between the lines. And you realize the Mavs think they could be on a Zion level ride with Luka and this particular injury woe
@@fabianmoye7919conditioning is not even close to a good reason to trade him. He's 25 and a way better player then AD ever been. If they were both 31 ok at least it more debatable. The only reason they can even sort of justify this trade is even he told them he wanted out and wasn't going to sign the super max
That part bro, I couldn’t believe it when I read that they were offering Luka 💀 imagine a gm picks up the phone and hears “hey, how about we work something out to send Luka doncic over to your squad. You in?”
If "defense wins championships" why did the Mavs acquire Kyrie Irving, who doesn't play defense, and Klay Thompson, who is washed, so he doesn't play perimeter defense? You can't say that when your top 2 perimeter players don't play defense The Mavericks didn't make the Finals last year because of their defense
Mav's were worried about Luka's conditioning while AD has had history of being constantly injured. Mav's ain't winning with Kyrie and AD, you might as well have kept Luka. They gave the Lakers a deal of a life time.
@@ranilcurry615true but while this improves them in the short-term, it's not enough to put them over the top. What it does do is shorten their years of being in contention. Plus, don't pretend AD is an Iron Man.
@@pavleruso5292sadly those guys are probably the most likely to be a one team lifer. especially since they got it done the right way. got drafted, developed and got a chip.... they got nothing left to prove.
People keep saying to trade him, but it's not that simple. The Pelicans need a trade partner, and in the NBA, salaries have to match. Who would give up enough assets for Zion when he's often injured and struggling with his weight?
Pretty obvious, Anthony Davis. When you see teams land these massive trade packages with a ton of draft picks the player coming to them in the trade typically isn’t a guy averaging 26 & 12 with elite defense. The draft picks are typically to supplement the fact that the team isn’t getting an elite player back
Because it's AD, the guy who's currently averaging 26 PPG & 12 rebs and is annually top 5 in DPOY voting. Y'all don't even realize that the Mavs won the trade lol. Kyrie, Klay, and AD in the same lineup is crazy. Meanwhile the Lakers still don't got a legit center, or anyone solid to protect the paint.
Mavs had KP, had Jalen Brunson now they had Luka...So many young talents now gone. Let see if the Mavs moves actually pays off or ends up biting em back.
Now you know how the lakers feel like when they traded away and let go all that great young potential. Ball Clarkson Ingram kuzma Randle zubac Wagner lou Williams Dlo dont count no rats allowed.
@@fredr3247 Huh???? Brunson is playing like a MVP caliber player, KP is a champion and one of the best stretch big man if healthy and the young players you mentioned that were traded for are now what? Also Lakers did win a chip while the Mavs after all the trades won what? So its not an apple to oranges comparison.
Trading a player like luka who is better than AD ever was, while being way younger and having a similar if not better injury history than AD, no excuses, the actual worst trade in nba history, the only time i think the nba might be rigged
@@cosaosa2855 Farm? Are you slow? They traded Luka for AD, Maxi with a BROKEN FOOT! and Morris someone the Lakers will buy out and release. Mavs still have pieces to trade.
I think so too, but I could still see him going to Phx. I can see Butler not wanting to play with Luka since Luka is too soft. He wouldn't handle Butler cussing him out to play defense. But Kyrie, AD, and Klay would work well with Butler.
The Mavs are the defending Conference champions and made the conference finals two years ago. This is incredibly short-sided and overly emotional by them.
@@JayoplanternBecause they just gave away a generational player for super star who is 31 years old and will carry your franchise for the next 2 decades they could have gotten more than what suns gave for kd
The trade is weird though, the mavs lose an all-time playmaker that teams tend to double team while the lakers lose their defense anchor, both season probably a wash for them but maybe next year will be more interesting.
not the greatest because his defense is horrible... no one will rank carmelo as one of the greatest because he never won. name me one great offensive player with horrible defense that has won .
The Mavericks fans are going to ABSOLUTELY SHRED, OBLITERATE, AND ANNIHILATE the Mavericks ownership and management. It's going to be BAD. HISTORICALLY BAD
LOL, I saw this trade on Facebook and thought it was a meme. I even noticed the poster was SportsCenter but assumed it was a fake page. I didn’t even bother checking because I was so sure it was impossible. OMG, it’s real!
Mavs owners/front office is the most incompetent in the NBA. They just traded a 25 year old Luka, who's just about to enter his prime for a 31 year old AD. Had the put Luka on the market, they would have gotten so much more in return. I'm shocked beyond words.
Trading Luka for AD is definitely not selling high. Getting a 31 years old injury prone AD with competitiveness and consistency issue, and the excuse is Luka’s conditioning issue? That’s ridiculously hilarious.
Yeah, regular season aside, playoff luka is an untouchable beast. Still weird though coz now lakers have no defense, wouldnt even be surprised if they swing Luka somehow to get someone like Wemby.
He's gonna put up 50 on the Mavs for the rest of his career. Mavs went from having a generational talent to a 1-2 year window to win it all. Lakers fans, you just a cold-blooded killer.
Nico Harrison (Mavs GM) used to be AD's Nike rep, he has close ties with AD. The Adelsons, the majority and controlling owners of the Mavs are not willing to enter luxury tax particularly for a team in Dallas, they want to move to Vegas. Mavs fans have had their team, their heir to Dirk taken from them for nothing but politics. Should never get attached to Sport teams.
Defense is 100% about Coaching and what the Owner wants. Mavs just run around and play helter skelter. They're not going to play REAL DEFENSE. Also Davis is VERY SOFT. So is Lively
There has to be more than this. 1. Other players like Embiid and Zion also come into the season out of shape and are WAY more injury-prone than Luka. Besides that they haven't been as successful as Luka in the playoffs 2. Even if you're fed up with him, YOU COULDN'T GET A BETTER TRADE?? YOU WANTED AD SO MUCH TO TRY AND WIN THIS YEAR? It's a stupid and extremely risky decision
a terrible move by mavs brass. WIN for the lakeshow though they got a superstar to raise the ticket prices for the next five years and will compete for a title in that span too. WOW I never thought I'd see a lakers championship again this decade.
@ smaller apparently. The max should be no more than 22% of the cap if I were to throw a number at it having done zero analysis. That way franchises won’t be crippled signing someone who is an injury or fall off risk and teams could stay together longer.
I am not going to lie. My favorite thing about this trade is that this is the first time a franchise has stood up to LeBron and said, "No, we are doing this for the good of the franchise. We signed your G-League level kid, so this one is for us."
Lakers for sure got a lot worse. They got a chubby ball hog that doesn’t play defense and lost a top 2 defensive player when they all ready struggle on defense.
Lakers won MASSIVELY as a former Mavs fan people still dont get how good Luka is, hes in the company of Jokic and Giannis averaged 34/9/10 last year, had a 73 point game, dominated and was most double teamed player in league. Lakers got their next Kobe/Lebron to build around, Luka Doncic. Mavs made a stupid decision and have maybe 3 years of relevancy before AD/Kyrie age out.
@@DJ_-Lakers don’t plan on missing the playoffs while they *don’t* own their own picks. Luka’s jersey will look amazing in the rafters with Magic, West, Kareem, and LeBrons.
If you look at just this year then you could think this is a bad trade for LAL BUT This is A HUGE W for lakers as a franchise. They only user one 1st round pick to bring 25 year old GLOBAL SUPER STAR.
Imagine if Steph didn't sign an extension with the Warriors. He could have joined the Mavericks. Steph/Kyrie/AD/Klay OMG that would have been amazing to see.
The NBA is now the most rigged professional sport in the world. Why trade that for a washed up injured AD and a mediocre 1st rd pick? As a Blazers Fan. You can have our Rookie Clingan and Ayton and 3 first Rounders and we would be honored to have Luka and we could pay him. BUT THE LAKERS???? THE LAKERS????? The NBA is rigging this. They need to have the Lakers do good because the NBA has ratings down.
Mavericks still not winning the championship I don’t see it. We’ll see though lakers have a better chance just because they have Luka and LeBron but even those two might not workout well definitely see who outplays who.

Ad: We need another big
Rob Pelinka: shidd I heard everything’s bigger in Texas! On you go✈️ 😂
Underrated comment 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Why yall keep stealing this comment ?
Outside from the shock , the trade is WEAK AF.
How does Luka doesn't get you more than 1 first round pick😂😂😂😂😂😂
AD is worth multiple first round picks
Pretty obvious, Anthony Davis. When you see teams land these massive trade packages with a ton of draft picks the player coming to them in the trade typically isn’t a guy averaging 26 & 12 with elite defense. The draft picks are typically to supplement the fact that the team isn’t getting an elite player back
@@Jaymake😂😂😂
AD is far better than luka 😂
Because it's AD, the guy who's currently averaging 26 PPG & 12 rebs and is annually top 5 in DPOY voting. Y'all don't even realize that the Mavs won the trade lol. Kyrie, Klay, and AD in the same lineup is crazy. Meanwhile the Lakers still don't got a legit center, or anyone solid to protect the paint.
Mavs had KP, had Jalen Brunson now they had Luka...So many young talents now gone. Let see if the Mavs moves actually pays off or ends up biting em back.
PJ next
Now you know how the lakers feel like when they traded away and let go all that great young potential. Ball Clarkson Ingram kuzma Randle zubac Wagner lou Williams Dlo dont count no rats allowed.
@@fredr3247 Huh???? Brunson is playing like a MVP caliber player, KP is a champion and one of the best stretch big man if healthy and the young players you mentioned that were traded for are now what? Also Lakers did win a chip while the Mavs after all the trades won what? So its not an apple to oranges comparison.
Trading a player like luka who is better than AD ever was, while being way younger and having a similar if not better injury history than AD, no excuses, the actual worst trade in nba history, the only time i think the nba might be rigged
Not even close to the worst trade in NBA history, gobert to MN blows this out of the water
A.D: 'I need a Center'
Rob: 'How about Lively'
A.D: 'Yeah great'
Rob: 'K, Pack your bags'
Mavs is about to get Jimmy Bulter
In return for what? They just traded the farm.
@@cosaosa2855 Farm? Are you slow? They traded Luka for AD, Maxi with a BROKEN FOOT! and Morris someone the Lakers will buy out and release. Mavs still have pieces to trade.
I think so too, but I could still see him going to Phx. I can see Butler not wanting to play with Luka since Luka is too soft. He wouldn't handle Butler cussing him out to play defense. But Kyrie, AD, and Klay would work well with Butler.
@@ruminating1596 I doubt they can keep all of those guys and get Jimmy lol
They did the same thing with Brunson. I never put anything past Mavs organization
The ultimate betrayal to Dallas Mavericks fans and to Luka Doncic.
As a mav fan, I wish that luka will drop 70+ vs dallas, just like what he did vs the hawks when he said: "that he should have been here" 😞
The Mavs are the defending Conference champions and made the conference finals two years ago. This is incredibly short-sided and overly emotional by them.
They got smoked in both series with Luka as the face for a reason.
Its 1000% political, there is no other reason for this trade.
Political how? Genuinely asking@@aryamanmani4025
@@bangwithcamino693 only reason they was there was cause of luka
@@sebastisn9978 He's a gift and a curse. He's turning into a James Harden - an elite scorer with a hard ceiling that can't get you over the hump.
Yeah the Mavs GM was drunk drunk 😂
Why cause they got rid of a guy who dont care about his weight
@@Jayoplantern he's avg 28, 8, 7 n just took them to the finals...
Or, his domme ordered him to do it.
@@JayoplanternBecause they just gave away a generational player for super star who is 31 years old and will carry your franchise for the next 2 decades they could have gotten more than what suns gave for kd
@@Jayoplanternwhat about Joker? You trading him because he stays chunky all season too ???
Mavs suddenly became the most hated team in the entire NBA.
The trade is weird though, the mavs lose an all-time playmaker that teams tend to double team while the lakers lose their defense anchor, both season probably a wash for them but maybe next year will be more interesting.
They didnt🤷🏻♂️
I dont get how you can rid someone who is on pace to be one of the greatest players ever seen
And they aint even get much value all they got was AD and a 1st round pick
They must know something about him that leads them to think his trajectory will fall well short.
not the greatest because his defense is horrible... no one will rank carmelo as one of the greatest because he never won. name me one great offensive player with horrible defense that has won .
@@oril22or they got a call and was told what to do from the nba
Luka made it to the finals last year
The Mavericks fans are going to ABSOLUTELY SHRED, OBLITERATE, AND ANNIHILATE the Mavericks ownership and management. It's going to be BAD. HISTORICALLY BAD
Gobert and Mikal Bridges got 5 first round picks while Luka got only 1 1st round pick. All time worst trade ever. Fire GM Nico Harrison.
How many all nba players did gobert andmikal get
LOL, I saw this trade on Facebook and thought it was a meme. I even noticed the poster was SportsCenter but assumed it was a fake page. I didn’t even bother checking because I was so sure it was impossible. OMG, it’s real!
Sick of hearing about Mavs tg this is the end
Mavs owners/front office is the most incompetent in the NBA. They just traded a 25 year old Luka, who's just about to enter his prime for a 31 year old AD. Had the put Luka on the market, they would have gotten so much more in return. I'm shocked beyond words.
Dallas just went to the finals.. I guess they’re okay with not going back
Trading Luka for AD is definitely not selling high.
Getting a 31 years old injury prone AD with competitiveness and consistency issue, and the excuse is Luka’s conditioning issue? That’s ridiculously hilarious.
wow, heartbroken. I hope Lakers fans realize what they've been given. Luka is an artist and its a privilege to watch him play
Goodbye Mavs!! Don't let the door smack ya in the way out
With Luka, Mavs could get this year's chip. I'm deeply disappointed on Mavs office.
Yeah, regular season aside, playoff luka is an untouchable beast. Still weird though coz now lakers have no defense, wouldnt even be surprised if they swing Luka somehow to get someone like Wemby.
He's gonna put up 50 on the Mavs for the rest of his career. Mavs went from having a generational talent to a 1-2 year window to win it all. Lakers fans, you just a cold-blooded killer.
Nico Harrison (Mavs GM) used to be AD's Nike rep, he has close ties with AD. The Adelsons, the majority and controlling owners of the Mavs are not willing to enter luxury tax particularly for a team in Dallas, they want to move to Vegas. Mavs fans have had their team, their heir to Dirk taken from them for nothing but politics. Should never get attached to Sport teams.
Nico could've gotten Giannis if he wanted Defense and an equivalent star.
He could've gotten more picks for sure.
Defense is 100% about Coaching and what the Owner wants. Mavs just run around and play helter skelter. They're not going to play REAL DEFENSE. Also Davis is VERY SOFT. So is Lively
It started when Finley took Luka's Beer..
😂😂😂
Luka being traded to LA Lakers was not in my 2025 bingo card.
There has to be more than this. 1. Other players like Embiid and Zion also come into the season out of shape and are WAY more injury-prone than Luka. Besides that they haven't been as successful as Luka in the playoffs
2. Even if you're fed up with him, YOU COULDN'T GET A BETTER TRADE?? YOU WANTED AD SO MUCH TO TRY AND WIN THIS YEAR? It's a stupid and extremely risky decision
LeGM effects 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😅😂
Lakers have the best defensive perimeter now with Lebron and Luka
😂😂😂
Niko needs to be fired along with whoever put him in that position.
I agree with you sombody said if mark Cuban was still in charge he would not let luka go it's hard to find good players like luka
Mavs just gave up their future 😢
a terrible move by mavs brass. WIN for the lakeshow though they got a superstar to raise the ticket prices for the next five years and will compete for a title in that span too. WOW I never thought I'd see a lakers championship again this decade.
Poor Windy getting dragged out of bed at this ungodly hour.
He did look sleepy lol.
imagine the inconvenience to the bed bugs.......... they go hungry tonite :---- (
They really traded him because of THAT attitude 😏.
But they’re not trying to discourage buyers 😂.
2:40 these contracts are too big is the problem.
What should the contracts be?
@ smaller apparently. The max should be no more than 22% of the cap if I were to throw a number at it having done zero analysis. That way franchises won’t be crippled signing someone who is an injury or fall off risk and teams could stay together longer.
@@wzrd7767probably a smaller proportion of the entire cap, i.e., more equally divided. So as a franchise you dont put everything on a single player
It's just a % of the cap. So as the cap goes up so does the contracts.
Side note: Expect Bronny to get regular rotational minutes with Christie gone.
This is what’s getting me the most
Good observation...this is probably going to happen...but There's still Gabe Vincent
HOW TO RUIN A FRANCHISE BEFORE ALL STAR BREAK.
What in the earth just happened. Condolences to the Dallas people
I am not going to lie. My favorite thing about this trade is that this is the first time a franchise has stood up to LeBron and said, "No, we are doing this for the good of the franchise. We signed your G-League level kid, so this one is for us."
Even the conditioning thing doesn’t explain it. Then you would at least open up a bidding war
This is arkham asylum level trade
Someone said
“I guess luka’s english got better and now understands kyrie has been talking and wants out”
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The NBA’s ratings are so down bad, Adam Silver green lit a trade that fleeced a team that just made the Finals. 💀
Facts!!!
Lakers got fleeced lol Mavs so be good and Lakers will start losing and wonder why
Boy comment this in every post.
Game become boring
Lakers for sure got a lot worse. They got a chubby ball hog that doesn’t play defense and lost a top 2 defensive player when they all ready struggle on defense.
Mavs gave up on a dude who hasn’t hit his prime yet. Crazy 😂
LOL Mavs
Lakers won MASSIVELY as a former Mavs fan people still dont get how good Luka is, hes in the company of Jokic and Giannis averaged 34/9/10 last year, had a 73 point game, dominated and was most double teamed player in league.
Lakers got their next Kobe/Lebron to build around, Luka Doncic. Mavs made a stupid decision and have maybe 3 years of relevancy before AD/Kyrie age out.
the problem of Luca is discipline. if he got MJ, Kobe and MJ conditioning. nobody can stop him.
We got luka-AD trade before GTA 6😂
@starboytv6537 We got this joke 66,666 times before GTA 6...
You’re so funny I’m gonna trade you for an older Anthony Davis now
Basically what everyone beside Luka fans have been saying for a while
Bro what going on Luka to Lakers!?? WHAT??
Shi is insane how did this happen ?
Luka fans want a championship, its not gonna happen this season
Exactly. N basically the Lakers decided to tank any chance of winning a chip, cuz to give up two defensive pieces for injuries are wild
@@DJ_-Lakers don’t plan on missing the playoffs while they *don’t* own their own picks. Luka’s jersey will look amazing in the rafters with Magic, West, Kareem, and LeBrons.
AD Gafford and Lively rim protection at its finest
but no more playmaker and scorer luka
@amzki960 kyrie gonna cook
@amzki960 kyrie is a good playmaker and dominates the ball less. I like it! Welcome, A.D.
@@LoThaTruth05 Kyrie who has done very well in the past without a leader
I think this trade hurts lively and gafford, dallas gonna be good defensively but offensively im not sure
F the Mavs I am not watching anymore games. This is a slap in the face to all Mavs fans.
Good riddance from relevance mavs
@@WilburStockwellJr lets not go that far. they still have a nasty squad. they just might not in 5 years.
If you look at just this year then you could think this is a bad trade for LAL BUT This is A HUGE W for lakers as a franchise. They only user one 1st round pick to bring 25 year old GLOBAL SUPER STAR.
Luka will hit the Mavs for 50 the next time they play.
70
Those Bud lights did Luka in 😂😂
Mavs lost Luka, Brunson, and KP all in under 3 years 😂
Nico is working for Klutch , there's no other way
Imagine if Steph didn't sign an extension with the Warriors. He could have joined the Mavericks. Steph/Kyrie/AD/Klay OMG that would have been amazing to see.
DREAMER !!!
Too many ppl would require the ball they would have to give up Kyrie for Steph and some other draft picks or something
Imagine smagine mavs are silly
This would have been great 5 years ago. Steph and Klay are over the hill.
The salary cap exists..
"Street clothes" traded for a different set of "street clothes."
I need to hear what Scottie Pippin thinks about this.
Hes burnt out
Said no one ever😂
Unless Mavs Doctors saw something wrong with Luka, this trade doesn't make sense at all!
Even worse, they get a injury prone player to replace him?
Having a prime all NBA player must be so frustrating…
This is like LeBron being traded by the cavs in 2007
Don’t compare young Luka to young Lebron 😂😂
Nah Bron wanted to leave … Luka did not
Nope LeBron left due to free agency
This is BAD for Dallas. This basically puts Davis back in the same position he was in when he played for the Pelicans.
The NBA is now the most rigged professional sport in the world. Why trade that for a washed up injured AD and a mediocre 1st rd pick? As a Blazers Fan. You can have our Rookie Clingan and Ayton and 3 first Rounders and we would be honored to have Luka and we could pay him. BUT THE LAKERS???? THE LAKERS????? The NBA is rigging this. They need to have the Lakers do good because the NBA has ratings down.
Mavericks still not winning the championship I don’t see it. We’ll see though lakers have a better chance just because they have Luka and LeBron but even those two might not workout well definitely see who outplays who.
Luka for Anthony Davis is just bonkers. Unless Davis comes with five 1st rounders, I can't see it making them better.
Wow.
4:00 🥶 i smell a 40 piece combo incoming 😂
Half the world is asleep everybody freeking out in the morning.
There goes the value of the Lakers future picks!
They are not planning on even a 1 season rebuild.
lol dude has his FIRST injury and they trade him, mavs franchise about to be hit with the luka curse
Luka just brought the Mavs to the finals last year, and you’re telling me they dont believe they can win with Luka?
Had to be other stuff going on in the background
Mavs fans epitome of no self awareness. Think Luka doesn't notice how toxic yr teams n fans act. He wanted out
If the Mavs think AD will lead them to a championship, they have lost their minds.
Mark my words, after this trade Luka is gonna fry the dallas every time he play them in the future 💀
no 2 seeded dallas play the no 7 seeded lakers...........
@AsifKhan-hf9zy imagine lol, what a way to start the playoff
