So happy to see Luka out of Dallas. Not Clutch in the post season imo.

Apparently there’s concerns about Lukas future….i wish we could’ve got more future compensation though.

Doncic is a whiner. Doesn't play defense.
Constantly moans at officials.
Dallas can spend that massive amount of money on someone else.

This seems like a weird injury trade with both teams hoping the one injured guy helps more. Seems Lakers scored but I don’t know about this fit

Seems like the Lakers wanted a marketable super star for the post LeBron era.

this could go down as one of the worst trades in nba history...

Good lord for any of you who are purely Dallas sports fans...no way Cuban would have signed off on this if he was still majority owner.

I am sick right now. Trading Luka is bad enough. but to trade a 25 year old time 5 time All-NBA player for freaking injury prone old a** Anthony Davis and a first round pick? That is pure incompetence. It’s like they wanted to trade him as soon as possible. I am thinking there maybe something looming off the court that’s about to come out maybe? That’s the only thing that would make sense to me.

Looks like Doncic forced his way out and they're trying not to make him look bad. As a now former Doncic/Mavericks fan, I've lost interest in a product trying to exploit my loyalty when they offer none in return.

The NBA has decided that the product is the specific players, not the franchises, and I'm supposed to be a Doncic fan no matter where he plays.

Sorry, I'm not wired that way. I'm tired of watching all the big media markets getting the best players and letting the rest of the teams fend for themselves.

I think I'm out on the NBA.

this is dumbest trade in the history of dallas sports in a long while,Luka was going to be the greatest mavericks player ever and they trade him for PEANUTS too.

Luka was in line to sign a $300+ million dollar contract. You mean to tell he wasn’t going to sign that? He just made the finals, what would be complaining about? Stephen A is speculating he was forcing his way out. My question would be why? This currant Mavs team is built to win now. Better than the team that made the finals last year. Why force his way out now? And why trade him for the peanuts they got back?

Luka is 25 yo generational talent who dragged the Mavs to the finals last year, LA win this trade all day.

Conspiracy brain. Adelsons want to move the Mavs to Vegas. Destroying fan morale makes the process easier.

Seems like the option was lose him for nothing or get AD and win now.!

Then they should’ve traded Luka for Bronny James if they wanted antes to kill fan morale lol.

That’s what I am hearing as well. Why move a NBA team from the 4th largest market to a 20 something size market? The casino stadium was Cuban’s idea before the Alderson’s got into the picture.

Maybe he doesn’t like the front office? Maybe he doesn’t like Kidd? Who knows. Luka comes across as a spoiled child.
