Luka Doncic traded to Lakers for Anthony Davis (Shams) He might be hacked?? IDK* ITS REAL DAMMIT

[ECA]

I’m not moving anything, I said proven in my original post. Y’all keep making hypothetical trade packages while completely ignoring what the Mavs wanted out of the deal. What’s even more hilarious is that if they did want 4-5 picks in addition to AD they were going to have to get a third team involved and you know damn well nobody was going to go out of their way to help the Lakers land Luka out of spite.

What has AD proven as a number one option besides a second round exit? Jaren Jackson Jr can get you that far and at least he's younger and less prone to injury

Magic, Kareem, Kobe, Shaq, Lebron, and Luka....

More than Jaren Jackson with way less talented teams Foh. JJJ has done nothing in his playoff career to lead you to believe he could be the #1 on a team that’s even competitive in a playoff series

Aren’t the Mavs owners trying to get Frisco to build them a new arena? That plus trading the second best player in their franchises history is strange. Something else is on the horizon like a move or some shyt. Why tank fan interest like this?

THEY GOT THE GUY

WHO ELSE WERE THEY
GONNA GET ON THAT LEVEL?



DALLAS IS TRYING TO WIN NOW.

NETS AND UTAH ARE TWO
OF THE WORST TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE.

HOW DOES HOARDING PICKS
HELP DALLAS WIN NOW?

the win now mindset is for aging superstars, Not for a team with a superstar is his early prime. They had a 8+ year window and now just a 3 to 4 year window.
They could've afford to be patient instead having a win now mindset.
Dallas basically traded the situation they were in for the one the lakers were in.

Fans overrate the hell out of draft picks.

The long term play they’re gunning for is getting gambling legalized in Texas and building a mega casino in the Dallas area with an arena for the Mavs part of it

They do not give a shyt about the Mavs success on the court really, they are an investment piece for a bigger picture to them

Ok. So Luka doesn’t help the mavs win now? This is a lateral move at best for the mavs. Yes they’re better defensively, but so much worse offensively. I don’t know their numbers this year, but what’s crazy is it’s not like the mavs defense was dog shyt. I saw something saying they were ranked 3rd in defense last season.

The post above yours is legitimately my point. Even if AD would be the best player available for DAL to stay in contention you left a lot of additional assets out from not having any additional bidders.

That part I knew about. It’ll never happen in that state.

Ultimately Nico will be fired as the scapegoat.
Ownership will walk away unscathed

Fans overrated the hell out of draft picks.

Tell that to the clippers. Lol

There’s some that believe the Adelsons fall back plan if their plan to get gambling legalized fails is to try to move the team to Vegas. And if you make moves to alienate the fanbase it helps that

But I have a very very hard time believing the NBA would let a team leave the 4th or 5th biggest market in the country

And he will go to LA as some consultant or some shyt.
