Dallas trading Luka to the Lakers for Anthony Davis! Utah involved.

I understand wanting to get Kleber off the books, but this is seems like overkill

This is THE most shocking trade I can remember.

Probably significantly worsens our 2027 pick from LA. Oh well.

What in the absolute ****

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

If Dallas really wants to move Luka, then fine. But why the rush? Why the Lakers for that package?

 

[NUMBERICA]

Interesting to note how hard Dallas is voting against Luka here

 

[HadAnEffectHere]

Okay, so Luka did not ask out and instead the Mavs traded Luka because they thought he was too fat.

Uhhhhhh

That's the worst move in NBA history.

Cy finally has his boy from last year's draft.

But yeah DAL has to be on ultimate spin mode to sell this trade.

DAL has excess of bigs now and LA has a an absence of bigs.

This is just crazy.

Of course we're involved helping Luka move to the team every fanbase, including ours, hates the most in the league.

We couldn't somehow be involved in this by actually getting Luka, despite having infinitely more assets than the Lakers. Great job, Danny.

Best part. Jazz help the trade while DESTROYING the value of the 27 Lakers pick. Fire Ainge tonight.
He's destroyed the Jazz. Made moves that help the teams we want to struggle succeed. Traded 3 firsts for 1. Acquired 3 worthless 2nd round picks with the cap space. Why?

Brother, this trade was happening whether the Jazz were involved or not.

Might as well get some freebies.

We couldn't put together a better package than what LA gave up for Doncic??!? This feels even more sketchy than when the Lakers got Gasol.

To improve the asset-base. But I agree it’s weird he’s helping the Lakers extend their window of relevance.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Anthony Davis is older and just as injury prone as Luka. He's also not a consistent defensive presence, though he can be if he's healthy and motivated. Not a good move by Dallas.

Makes sense for LA though. You get a 25 y.o. All NBA player who can attract free agents to LA....if star players still make it to free agency.

Absorbing 2 2nd round picks that will end up being somewhere in the 50s this year isn't worth squat. Jazz already have 2 1sts this year.
