Mavs Trade Luka to Lakers

[RonWashington]

Another loss lol.

Mavs still undefeated with AD..another loss for Lakers this time at the hands of Josh Giddey…again lol.




Lakers were winning 115-110 with 12 seconds left lol

How do you like the coaching job Kidd is turning in this year . With all these injuries and the trade he may take them to the post season. Excellent job on the heels of winning the West last season .

I’m not a fan of him at all but this year he’s done a solid job. Those guys fight night in and out. And they are in a position to win most games which is impressive he’s had G League guys and these guys are playing some good basketball. Imagine trading Luka and losing Kyrie and still competing. That Bulls team they beat was hot.

They are getting some good basketball out of some guys who most teams didn’t want or value and without PJ, AD, Gafford and Lively…

Nice come back win after losing so the awful Nets.


AD getting it done on offense, defense and rebounding like we’ve never seen. Fun getting Lively and Gafford back.

He's probably wealthy and has five years to waste.

I believe Luca was traded for a reason. Or multiple reasons.

Even in today's shoot 'em up league, you gotta play some D.

I remember watching the finals and thinking yeah we will never beat the Celtics. It was so much ball movement and wide open 3s……

The Luka stans are nauseating, AD is a champion and legit first ballot HOFer. Just look up his achievements and tell me he's not one of the greatest of this generation.

Do the Mavericks own there own one next draft so the NBA can thank them for making an LA team relevant again get those ping pong balls to give them at least the 3rd pick ?

Yes. This year and next.
After that it goes the way of the wind.
No R1 in 27.
28 is a pick swap with friggin OKC!!!
29 you get the Lakers pick and you have your own subject to 3 team pick swap madness --this is good in that it allows you trade a pick in here somewhere since you have 1 free pick not attached to swaps.
30 you have a pick but subject to pick swaps.

One of my biggest issues with the trade was creating a 2-year window with AD/Kyrie when your pick status was the exact opposite of that.
You probably should find a way to move either this years or next for help for this 2-year run.
Because it is pretty bleak out in 27 and you no longer control your own pick until 2031!!!!

My dream scenario is we get the NBA fix in and land Cooper Flagg with the 2.4% chance of ping pong ball 14.
Outside that I have little hope.
Even if they tank next year to get a top 3 pick you'd be light years away from good with no pick support for 4 seasons so wasting a great picks rookie deal.
