Lakers trade a mid-prime center with health issues for a 25 year old super star. Did anyone other team know Luka was available? I feel like the Mavs could have gotten a LOT more.
Wow. Does this dude follow the NBA at all? Cuban isn't the owner and had no say in this trade. This has been emphasized for months now. Please don't show up in my feed again.
People dont get it. Dallas did something smart. They did not want the BEST package they could get. They wanted specifically Anthony Davis. They wanted the best big man they could get to fit specifically within their team to increase their defense and empower their offense. They did not want a package of picks or Jimmy Butler and picks. They decided on the best player they wanted and got him. Its rare to see a team not just take "give me this B+ player and a thousand picks." They said "who completes our vision and what we want, period. Not what can someone give. Who do WE want."
if true that shams is Rep by klutch sports then, lebron needs to stop acting. Another move where he throws his teammates out and makes them feel disposable.
Its all about lebron😂 Ypu forget that jennie buss is the owner and she wants to secure the post lebron and its good for the business wise by the way you only hate lebron so it doesn’t mind right😂😂😂😂😂
This was in play before the season even started you best believe it. The Lakers have to have the next "face of the league" for relevance to take over for the fake "face of the league" who plays eerily similar to one another.
They dont want a bunch of stuff. They specifically wanted AD. They wanted the #2 big man who makes their defense better and with Kyrie will crush the pick and roll. There is no other big man who matches AD besides Jokic. They went directly for what they wanted. No one could offer Anthony Davis. Picks and Jimmy Butler does not get them the best big man available. Thats what they wanted. It you need a screw driver to complete building you house, would you be happy with hammer, a saw, a tv and a couch? Its much more than a screwdriver but you NEED a screwdriver.
@@robertthompson6153lol stop it. There’s a reason the reaction to this trade has been unlike any ever, it’s because it doesn’t make sense from any angle. What good is a screwdriver if you remove the foundation of a house? A 25 yo who is already on hof pace and just lead you to the finals, averaging 30 8 8 for a season and you think just adding AD is going to magically make up for that and add to it on top? If that was the case, the Lakers wouldn’t have agreed to the trade. The Lakers GM and Mavs owner both initially laughed at Nico for a reason.
The NBA has become pure WWE - this was an NBA move cause ratings are down and they feel like they NEED the next big star on the Lakers. This was also a power move cause the Lakers are hostages of LeBiogenesis James and Klutch.
Not playing any defense” is a straw man. If you take a team to the NBA finals, when you’re the underdog the entire way, you are playing at a high level. Somebody teach this dope something man 🤣
Conspiracy theories guys enough. It is pretty obvious. 1. The Mavs didn't shop him because they wanted A.D. He can play the 4 which is what he wants to do. When Lively comes off injury he might be able play 4 permanently. 2. Luka doesn't want to get in shape and take of his body. Just look at Embid. It is the same thing. MVP level player, but bad work ethic. $70m per year. Mavs are not trusting the process.
Lets make it clear the Dallad fans did not and do not want AD, he can break a leg as far as us fans give a s***, this move was all Nico throwing his boys a solid.
Which means....it's all by design. Had to get International/ white Larry bird 2.0 to the greatest "stage" Hollywood Perfect passing of torch from LeBron. Everything is about scaling for global markets now
Now the lakers have two constantly whining and flopping players who play zero defense. Thats going to work out for them. Jokic is going to abuse those boys. Now the Lakers have nobody to even begin to slow down Jokic. And don’t forget Austin Reeves who is also constantly whining and flopping and playing zero defense.
Fact they didn’t call about Embiid is crazy!! Sixers woulda traded move him and AD and Embiid both injury prone. This deal smells like BS .NBA massaging the hell out of this
They said LeBron James, Anthony Davis even Klutch sports had no idea. Ask yourself this when was the last time a big trade took place on a team and the superstar had no idea😂 The Lakers have found their replacement for LeBron and they're moving on from him
As much as I like Brady Quinn He clearly is missing the point. Luka and LeBron play the same position. Luka doesn't play any defense so I'm not sure if this is really an upgrade more like a restart. He is there to replace LeBron not help him. It's already been reported that LeBron and no one from clutch sports knew about this trade That's telling you something right there
Can we also verify most draft picks don’t pan out into anything !!! Those picks Utah and OKC has still won’t get them a championship and you’ll see 😂😂😂!
Cuban isn't the owner of the mavs anymore nor does he have any say.
Sports analysts not knowing this is mind blowing
Lakers trade a mid-prime center with health issues for a 25 year old super star. Did anyone other team know Luka was available? I feel like the Mavs could have gotten a LOT more.
25 year old with health issues.
Don’t know why a bunch of football guys are talking basketball. Mark Cubam sold the team a year ago
Wow. Does this dude follow the NBA at all? Cuban isn't the owner and had no say in this trade. This has been emphasized for months now. Please don't show up in my feed again.
Dude also said AD is top 3 when healthy. These guys are casuals lol.
@Andrewo223 bingo.
He’s smoking cigars, drinking beers and eating fast food, and every fan is willing to give him 300 million. That’s why none of you are businessmen.
A bunch of stars do that lol you think Lámelo Ball and Jokic go to bed at 9pm?!
Lol Jordan was staying up till 2am on gameday
The hell do you think Jordan was doing? All that plus gambling. The Bulls dealt with it because he was worth it
Laaaaakers
@@davidramos4317 to be fair Luka is nowhere near the athlete Jordan is. His nickname was Air for a reason.

Still should have gotten more from lakers. This was DIRTY.
AD has a low motor. He’s not a true #1 and the mavericks are now farther from a championship than they were last season
Anthony David is actually a great fit for Dallas. And I think Luka not playing defense , his health, work ethic. Made the decision easy for Dallas.
If he has lively & gafford his motor doesn’t have to be high for 48 minutes that’s what yall not understanding.
AD does not always play his best
Why do people keep asking why Dallas didnt shop around? They had a #1 target so they did what they had to do to get it. Super easy to understand.
if true that shams is Rep by klutch sports then, lebron needs to stop acting. Another move where he throws his teammates out and makes them feel disposable.
Its all about lebron😂
Ypu forget that jennie buss is the owner and she wants to secure the post lebron and its good for the business wise by the way you only hate lebron so it doesn’t mind right😂😂😂😂😂
Mark Cuban is no longer the Majority Owner of the Dallas Mavericks.
MJ GREATEST OF ALL TIME 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀💯
Mark Cuban sold the team and wasn't involved in the decision. Stick to Football guys.
waiting for rob parker reaction
This was in play before the season even started you best believe it. The Lakers have to have the next "face of the league" for relevance to take over for the fake "face of the league" who plays eerily similar to one another.
One large fraternity
You sound hurt 😂
BOTTOM LINE: They didnt shop him around and they could have gotten waaay more. period.
Something stinks

Cuban sold most of it to a crazy MAGA owner a bit ago
Please go see someone about your TDS, this is a basketball conversation.
The NBA has become pure WWE - this was an NBA move cause ratings are down and they feel like they NEED the next big star on the Lakers. This was also a power move cause the Lakers are hostages of LeBiogenesis James and Klutch.
if this was a “ planned” move it was a terrible one because lakers are actually worse now
Even though you know Luka is damaged goods, you shop around to get a better deal for AD.
LeBron knew about this he wasn’t blindsided. What do you think? We’re all idiots.
If you’re not playing any defense you aren’t playing at a high level. Stop it.

So Luka gets a little pudgy and gets shipped out for AD and some chips.
Zion ate half of Nola and got an extension 🙃
Mark Cuban sold the team do your research your suppose to be journalists
Conspiracy theories guys enough. It is pretty obvious.
1. The Mavs didn't shop him because they wanted A.D. He can play the 4 which is what he wants to do. When Lively comes off injury he might be able play 4 permanently.

Those are what they’ll sell to Dal and they might even get a chip but we know Luka future in LAL screams a few chips
Lets make it clear the Dallad fans did not and do not want AD, he can break a leg as far as us fans give a s***, this move was all Nico throwing his boys a solid.
@@danieldavis1028 Fans don't own or get paid to run teams. You can either root for your team or kick rocks. That is the way it works.
AD can’t shoot anymore, so him playing the 4 won’t work without a stretch 5, which lively is not.
I want whatever chain LaVarr has.
go to any middle of the mall
Why do teams just give the Lakers quality players for nothing? Its been happening for years.
Which means....it's all by design. Had to get International/ white Larry bird 2.0 to the greatest "stage" Hollywood
Perfect passing of torch from LeBron. Everything is about scaling for global markets now
Out of the Lakers 60+ year history they have only had 8 years where they didn't have a superstar. You tell me who runs the NBA.
Can’t compare this to Phoenix , Phoenix gave up the farm look at them their trash and gave up the next decade for win now .
Now the lakers have two constantly whining and flopping players who play zero defense. Thats going to work out for them. Jokic is going to abuse those boys. Now the Lakers have nobody to even begin to slow down Jokic. And don’t forget Austin Reeves who is also constantly whining and flopping and playing zero defense.
You sound mad 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The NBA is rigged
I beg you guys to do your research first
I mean luka only played over 70 games once also..
If AD is Mr. Glass and never played a full season what does that make LeBRONZE🥉🥉who’s only played a full season ONCE? 🤷♂️
Lebrons played more minutes, games, playoff series in nba history
Nico took lot of cash lot of cash from L,A
The Lakers ain’t winning the chip…lmao Neither move without the ball nor play defense… great fit though 😂
The Nets still absolute trash lol bad analogy
Non bball knowers
Both are lazy as snot running down
Even if the MAVS Knew something? WHY NOT SHOP HIM! Good God.
