    This league is so fucking fake. There’s no other explanation. No sane person would do this trade. This is horrible value for one of the five best players in the league.

    I know they even left the Lakers with another pick to use! Didn’t even fleece them! Has to be rigged. Truly one of the biggest lopsided trades of all time. Proven mvp caliber for the next 6 years for AD and a horrible pick. Luka could well be MVP in 2029 and winning a title.

    This trade is absolute BS. Not surprising in the slightest, though. Lakers ALWAYS get bailed out and are gifted superstars.

    Even their future 1st don't look near as valuable.

    Atlanta and Utah have to be pissed tonight.

    If you thought Luka went to the line a lot before just wait. They definitely need a big though.

    This trade sounds like such collusion. A franchise player traded for a player a player who is really good but always injured and will be out of the league in 2 years

    This is like when you go onto NBA 2K and make some crazy ass trade that would never be agreed to or accepted.

    Man there’s always a new reason to hate the Lakers even more.

    Laker's better score a lot of points, cause that's a hit to their defense and rebounding

    I'm sure another team is waiting to gift them a center.
