This reeks of collusion. But nothing will come of any investigation because the NBA has always been corrupt. That said, I don’t believe that AD will be THAT bad for the Mavs in the short term, he is a top 10 player still and a wonderful defender. But long term…sheesh. I dunno man. Let’s revisit this trade in 5 years and see how the Mavs are doing
If they really hated Luka, they would have traded him to the Wizards, not send him to LA as a Nike player. Luka is going to make a lot of money in LA.
It’s fitting that Utah was involved in this trade as well. Dallas and Utah, two strange and ugly bedfellows
I’m reading that Luka was coming into training camp weighing over 260 lbs…maybe his knee is cooked even if he’s an obese alcoholic, nothing justifies a trade like this
They didn’t want to drop nearly a half billion dollars on a guy that refuses to stay in shape, doesn’t defend and doesn’t listen to his coaches… great player but that’s a lot of money and the issues Doncic has are not ones that usually get better with age. Not the trade I would have made but the red flags were real…
To me it was a Secret Trade. Luka Doncic wanting to go to Los Angeles for a long Time. Adam Silver allowing this Trade is bad for Middle and Small Market Teams not wanting to pay the SuperMax on their Players.
If his knee is cooked, it will show up on the physicals. This young man about to be moved up the echelon of the league as a savior since he plays for the big boys now. If we thought he was protected before, we are about to see a whole new age of rigging.
Rockets should've traded 2019 Harden for the Shai/Jalen/4FRP package, would have gotten even more than that tbh
There’s always SOME issue with every player not named Jokic. Dude took them to the finals last season. Players do mature though, towns was always kinda a clown but got into way better shape last season. I mean who would you pay if not him?
LeBron gonna be the best thing that ever happened to Luka. Gonna teach him how to go on a diet and stay in shape. He might have never reached his true prime in Dallas.
Luka been out 2 months with a calf strain thats usually one small step from snapping an achilles and him being overwight doesn't help and how is his conditioning since being on the shelf
