Luka isn't in shape that's undeniable right now, but I guarantee the Lakers will win one with him on the team before the Mavs do. You guys saying his reasoning made sense is completely idiotic considering the Mavs with Luka were just in the fukking Finals. It's kinda crazy people can just believe whatever people tell them, Nico's "reasoning" was throwing shyt at the wall to see what stuck after he already did the deal. He didn't put him on the open market and he claims they made this move for the future of the franchise. How in the fukk is any of that true when they just made the Finals?

TYRONE GA!
Why’d they trade for AD though like what a joke. AD is never healthy. Should’ve just went the picks route and a nice lil 2nd option for Kyrie
Luka averages 64 games played a year and he's young.

He's going to have to step up his conditioning. Not optional anymore.

Because it’s not sustainable if you give Luka the super max. And why people keep bringing up the open market what was he gonna get some fukking picks :russ::russ:

That's still an over-reactionary decision to make just after reaching the NBA Finals is the point. And yall act like you can't package picks for other players. Please tell me how this extends their championship window?

It doesn’t but keeping him doesn’t either honestly because kyrie still would’ve gotten hurt. That’s a year gone part of next year gone too. You gotta pay pj, Daniel, Marshall, kyrie. Then also you give him the super max now you gonna have to move either Daniel or lively probably Daniel you gotta move pj probably too

Nico constructed the perfect roster for Luka last year with all the bigs and defenders that covered up for his lazy defense but also were good at lobs/finish around the rim that Luka was able to create.

Then tore that shyt down, took the Lakers best big/defender that the Mavs didn't even need, and shipped Luka to a roster that is the worst roster for his skillset. Nico essentially torpedoed two teams with the trade :russ:

Guy is playing 9D chess.

Trading Luka is understandable but Dallas coulda got a haul

Coulda got damn near Any young player(besides wemby) in the league and picks ,that could help you sustain for the foreseeable future. That’s where Dallas f’d up trading for 30+ injury prone player and a role player :smh:
