    Why trade one of the best player in your team's history for this guy:

    Of all the trade possibilities did not see this coming. Maybe more crazy trades to come before the 6th

    Former Tigard high school grad Nico Harrison just pulled off one of the ballsiest trades in NBA history. My initial take is that he’s a fucking idiot.

    The only logical explanation was that Luka asked out and said he would not re-sign with Dallas.

    I'm surprised there wouldn't have been some smoke from that though.

    This makes zero sense, WTF are the Mavs thinking???

    Fuck the Lakers... How do they have an endless supply of MVP level players.

    Especially if it's true that Luka did not ask out.

    Can they fire him and void the trade? Is it too late?

    Anthony Davis and Kyrie.... do they even have a 50% chance to make the playoffs now?

    Dallas is such a bizarre franchise. They win a title and break up the team a few months later.

    15 years later they have a 25 year old MVP who makes the finals and they trade him for a chronically injured 32 year old big man who might be an all-star backup.

    A Luka/Lebron team in like a second round exit without some bigs. If we give them RW3 I’m gonna be pissed.
