That's a huge pickup for the Mavericks getting AD

 

[jjgold]

He is a cancer why Dallas got rid of him

Huge pickup? Luca is the new face of the NBA. Dallas gets robbed. Something must of happened with him and cuban

This is crazy the Lakers must've felt Luka is the only thing that can save their franchise going forward. Anthony Davis had been great for them but he's always hurt so trading him might actually be beneficial for the Lakers since they have their new face of the franchise once Lebron decides to call it quits finally.

Beat me to it

Shocking trade here.

Huge for the Lakers

Amazing how the best franchises keep making moves like this year after year, decade after decade

Really surprised Cuban let Luka go

He’s only 25 and one of the most exciting young players in the league

AD is great when he’s healthy but those times have been few and far between too often and he’s 31 years old. Pretty old for a big man

I’m surprised that Dallas would do this

Wonder if behind the scenes he asked to be traded

This is obviously one of the biggest trades in NBA history

Not as big as Lakers getting Kareem, but who knows how it will look 10 years down the road

Reading the tea leaves Dallas thinks they're built to win now and the only way they can do that is if they defend better. Luka isn't a great defender but AD is so that said I can see why Dallas made the move. Also AD has been healthier since playing for the Lakers and he can really help a team like Dallas that already has a great playmaker in Kyrie. Might be a better fit with Dallas than he was with the Lakers.

This is bizarre Storm.

I would have listed Luka as one of the top 5 non-tradable guys in the league

I can’t remember a more shocking NBA trade in my lifetime and I’ve been following hoops a long time

Trades don't happen too often like this but big free agent signings do. The Lakers always seem to acquire the next superstar to lead their franchise and they did it again with this trade.

Obviously free agent movement has become huge last 30 plus but this is not that

 

[Brock Landers]

Dallas giving up

Probably end up waiving Davis

 

[jjgold]

Neither team has any shot to win the title a non-story

It's not free agency but what I meant was the Lakers always get their next superstar whether it be free agency or trading for him. In this case Luka is the next superstar in LA and will take over as the face of the franchise once Lebron is gone.

There is more to this than they are telling us. Dallas gets a horrible deal.
