AD got to be the most loyal Lebron/Klutch soldier. Left NO and helped Lebron get his first ring in LA. Now he willingly leaves LA to go to Dallas and be the sacrifice. I see Lebron playing for 5 more years. He can lean on Luka like Kareem leaned on Magic.
The Mavs just went to the finals last season. All this does is shift the future outlook of the Lakers and Mavs…doesn’t impact us either way. In fact, we should benefit from this as Dallas will likely suck now in 2029 when we get their pick.
Luka is only 25. Technically he just reached his prime, he is just so good people think he is in late 20s lol.
So its a money move? LOL Pelinka just secured his job for the next 10 yrs. If Morey can live off the Harden trade for a decade so can Pelinka off this Luka trade.
I don’t feel bad for Dallas. **** Dallas. How does LA keep getting away with this? How? A top 5, MVP caliber (even if he’s fat) for a 32 year old who plays 55 games AND you initiated the offer. Didn’t shop it. Like if he has a career threatening injury (no, not being fat), or was under investigation (like Deshaun or gambling like Porter) … ok. Give him away? And you give him away to Los Angeles?
