    imagine if out the blue we had traded Harden during the 16-17 season for like LaMarcus Aldridge and a pick or some sh*t

    This is the dumbest trade in NBA history, yes worse than Harden trade from OKC. At least with Luka you knew he was an MVP level player who is only 25.

    This sets Lakers up for success for the next decade since Lebron will retire next year.

    No, he’s worth a lot more than that. Something weird is happening in Dallas.

    At least the Harden trade was before Harden blew up into a MVP level player.

    The Mavs KNEW they were trading away a generational perennial MVP candidate.

    No doubt, but that trade was hilariously bad and this one is too.

    Davis is hurt like every month and is 31 years old. They don't want to pay Luka Doncic the super max? IF any player is worth the supermax its him, he's a top 5 player in the NBA, easy, they just went to the finals.

    This will go down as one of the worst trades in NBA history and of course it benefits the F'n lakers. At least it's not Golden State.

    Makes no sense to take AD if they wanted to blow it up. Would make more sense to take a harden load of picks if they wanted a rebuild. I’m telling you guys Luka has had weight issues and been chronically injured for the past few years. The Mavs are selling high after finding out something they didn’t want leaked.

    This is crazy for the Lakers. They just ensured their relevance for the next decade.

    Do the Mavs still have time to tank for Flagg?

    This trade was so one sided and awful that the league would step in and stop it if it benefitted any team other than the Lakers.

    They want them to win the championship this year because Lebron and because LA burned down.

    I'm conflicted

    As a red blooded american, i hate all LA sports teams
    But as a true Houstonian, i hate Dallas

    This is going to take some time to process

    It helps the lakers of course. They just got their face off the franchise. Lebron is out probably by next year.

    You think Luka is Zion?.

    ....Actually going after Zion after getting Luka might be the play. Reddish and a 2nd for Zion lol
