    They might trade LeBron. Telling that LeBron had no idea the trade was happening.

    Marc was an All Star and DPOY. Arguably better than Pau.

    Mark Stein interviewed DAL gm who said “ he only spoke with the LAL regarding Luka”.

    Who would only look at one destination? He also said Luka gave no indication he wanted out or would not resign with DAL.

    there is something so fucked up about this. Imagine what other teams would have offered: multiple FRP maybe even in 2025 like SAS and OKC.

    Strange stat: Blazers are one of only 3 teams that hasn’t had an OT game this season. The others are Cavs and Grizzlies.

    I don’t think it’s all that bad of a move for Dallas. Go for it the next few years with Kyrie & AD & some very good role players. Then rebuild in a few years without having to pay Luka $300 million for a lazy star with terrible work ethic who plays zero defense.

    Luka should have clearly been worth more either way

    I didn’t say I didn’t think the Lakers got the better deal I said I think Mavs are better team than Lakers as currently constructed. Lakers will be god awful defensively

    The nightmare for the Mavs is that this trade pisses Doncic off enough to get in shape. Of course, it could depress him enough to get even more out of shape. Apart from anything, he's used to the Cuban Mavs where money is no object. The Lakers are a decidedly shoestring operation in comparison.

    Also lost Jalen Brunson for nothing because he didn't think he was worth a 10 million extension.

    Hadn’t made the joke in a long time but you just set it up so nicely.

    You guys that keep bellowing out that Luka was worth more, don't you think any team talking to Dallas would be wondering why the f they were even shopping him? It wouldn't surprise me if they knew the locations Luka would actually appreciate going to so those teams had assurances he would resign with them too.

    It's not an amazing haul but I think we are seeing the markets are drastically changed with this cba. Anthony Davis at least an elite player.

    They didn't shop him. So this does not reflect the market.
