    Refs rigging the game in favor of Vegas odds and now this? It truly is becoming so rigged AF right now. I would've at least believed it if it involved a **** ton of picks, but one pick and an injury prone Center close to retirement? Geez

    Lakers just be at the crib fielding offers for top 3 players. Stone sweating for backup centers.

    What in the actual ****. Smells like NBA ****ery to boost the Lakers again

    The Lakers are the only team that get these BS lopsided superstar trades. No way would that have been the best offer if he was being fairly shopped around the league

    At least it happened to Dallas

    And speaking of getting an extension lol .

    Only one getting an extension is the Lakers GM and all he did was pick up the phone when it was ringing . He must be praying he took that phone call seriously.

    Is this literally the most value a team has ever given up in a trade? He’s 25 and a top 5 player who should age well with his size (he’ll obviously have to trim down some). He’s better than davis was when he got traded or harden.

    Nico went up to the lakers and offered Luka. No way he does that to a division rival

    Rob Pelinka got a call and probably thought it was a prank.

    Does Lebron James now retire now that Luka Doncic is on the Lakers roster?

    Who will be the alpha Laker?

    Or is Lebron James the Lakers GM at the same time?

    We'll see if they don't land a first overall pick in the near future.

    Mavs didn’t even try to set up a bidding war for a top 3 player and went straight to the Lakers for their scraps

    I’m still stunned
