Mavs could have asked for ANY player in the league not named Joker/ ANT man/ Giannis/ Wemby and they would have got him. Even those players would have been a strong consideration! And they settled on AD?? Also, Luka is not a good fit with LBJ as far as style of play. This screams SHADY!

The thing that puzzles me is that I feel they should have gotten a king's ransom for Luka.

It's time for Bron to step aside...he's had an unbelievable run but at 40 and the condition the Lakers are in now it's no longer feasible. Lakers are obviously the big winners here in the future and Mavs fans are selling their season tickets and turning off their tv's on game day.

Luka droping 80 when he plays against dallas

[@tyronevaldez-kruger5313]

That's equal to 50 pts in the 90's. But they didn't just drop, they had to dodge forests of elbows, bad breath (garlic was preferred), pointy fingernails for a dunk or lay up. There was an old school center waiting to slap you back in case you came through.

[@supernotnatural]

@@tyronevaldez-kruger5313 No, 90s average point per game was like 10 points lowe because rules were tougher. If rules were softer, they would have dropped even more. Also rules are changed since Embiid 70 points. No more free throws

Pride comes before the fall. AD bumped his gums about not wanting to be a center, even though the team needs him at center. And Luca is rumored to be prideful and stubborn. "Bye bye, see you later" in my Shrek voice

AD is not a center and never has been. The Lakers inability to get a true center is the reason they haven't gotten past Denver two years in a row. They mopped Denver when they had multiple centers. And I'm a Lakers fan.

[@monteziggler3776]

Probably shouldn’t speculate on why (look up the Adelsons, new Mavs owners) but one thing seems certain: They decided that they wanted Luka gone immediately. Even if you wanted to trade him you wouldn’t do it this way…unless you didn’t want people to know. They didn’t even get the full package from the Lakers as it is! Getting the best return was clearly not a consideration at all

[@a-mn2001]

Mavs whole front office need to be fired ASAP...Even if there is beef, you hold out for a better deal than that...Mavs not only trade their future away for 1 first round pick and a washed up AD....But you send him to a rival, following a FINALS appearance...I mean If I'm a Mavs fan, ill never root for them again....This is basketball malpractice..The fanbase is going to be infuriated ....Mavs really did some irreversible damage to their franchise forreal..
