    10 pages in, I glance at the thread for the first time, and no one else noticed? Not even The HCP?

    You're approaching Dallas fans' spelling.

    one unmentioned fact Luka is going from a state with 0% income tax to a state with 13% income tax

    what is 13% of 345M?

    Luka will be an mvp multiple times. He’s a lock. Kyrie and AD aren’t even close. It’s about fair market value. The real value for Luka is not a tea cup fine china 32 yo big and a bad FRP. POR got a way better haul for Dame

    And he's no longer eligible for the 345 super max contract. I mean, he ain't losing any sleep, but he lost a lot of money in the deal

    yeah...I mentioned that in the other thread after Rasta pointed it out

    from 345M - 0% state income tax ---> 290M - 13% state income tax...ouch!

    Yep, the way I look at it is LA has a superstar in his prime that they can build around in 2 years time and then be very competitive. They are ready to go post LeBron without having to hit in the lottery or through FA.

    The way I look at it, my tickets for the Lakers games in Portland just went up in value.

    I hate the trade, but AD has value. He may be hurt now but he’s played 42 games and is putting up monster numbers.

    Cuban says he was not involved in the choice to trade Luka.

    AD is probably way undervalued at the moment and Luka way overvalued. But I'm still glad I'm not a Mavs fan. Even though their team is probably now more likely to make it back to the finals.

    Yes he was - he sold the team to somebody who allowed it!

    not saying it was a good trade just saying Dallas ultimately has the better team and in my opinion better shot at title than Lakers as currently constructed
