Doncic being traded shouldn't surprise anyone here, really, the guy doesn't play a lick of D and Ive seen him take as much time off as Ayton. Also, Dallas know's they need a defensive 5 to compete with others in their division and conference.

Yeah, I'd be irate... I actually am fucking pissed. Fuck the Lakers, seriously. How the fuck do they trade a washed AD, one FRP, one second, Max Christie and Jalen Hood-Schifino for a 25 year old Luka and they get Kleber who is a decent stretch big off the bench.

The fucking Lakers always get the most favorable trades. Got what they wanted out of AD when they traded for him. Got Pau for virtually nothing to get two more titles with Kobe. This shit feels rigged... I know it's not but how the fuck do they get this trade?

The names are big but the contract context means both the Lakers and Mavs are treading water with this trade.

There is some outside chance that the league does not sign off on the trade.

Dream on - David Stern is dead. Also I read somewhere that they did offer Doncic to at least one other team, who turned them down. San Antonio for Wemby?

When you hire an NBA agent as your GM and he's networked around the league, it can work in your favor. Nico and Rob go back aways.
 
Don't laugh too soon. Cronin is no genius, and our ownership is even more unstable

What in the actual fuck? So 25 year old Luka ends up on the fucking Lakers for old injured AD? How does this shit always happen?

I remember one guy complaining resignedly, "The Lakers are so lucky." It was after they got either Jabbar or Magic. I think it was Jabbar.

I think of that every time it repeats. It's been going at least since the Chamberlain trade, and probably before. Back then, the league office was trying to expand into the West, so there were probably manipulations by them.

As I recall Kareem gave the Bucks two choices. NY or LA. He said Milwaukee lacked enough "culture" for him to stay.

Should have traded him to New York

Apparently some NBA player texted with a reporter: "imagine how much the Mavs have to hate Luka to do this". They certainly fucked him out of his SuperMax.

Good catch!! I forgot about that. Doncic can't get a super-max from the Lakers

so his 5-year/345M deal in a state with no income tax drops down to about a 5-year/290M deal in a state with a 13.3% tax rate for those in a multi-millionaires bracket. When Doncic hops on the plane for LA he could be hopping with 85M less in future compensation

he'll have to hustle the endorsements hard to make up for it. Start with Pillsbury.

Yep. The Knicks had nothing to offer. The Lakers had a draft pick stockpile unusual for them.

Too be fair, he's not wrong. (a) he's from New York, and (b) he was a Black Nationalist Muslim Intellectual in cow country.
 
Phoenix can at least trade Booker and get a big haul of picks.

They can probably get a couple nice pieces for Durant too.

Dallas somehow in one move went from a roster with a long term future of top5 in the west to bottom 5.

This is the worst trade a team has made in NBA history.
 
I can't help but think that the Mavs have a good reason to get Luka off the books and away from their future...he's not in game shape and who knows what else is going on with him. They probably do. Lakers have nothing to lose to try and motivate him. Money usually works. As far as anybody knows, Luka could be a raging alcoholic or whatever but we'll see if talent alone gets him the bag in LA. Read he'd ballooned in weight after they asked him to lose some. It's usually Kyrie that gets traded for being batshit crazy but maybe Luka has out crazed the flat earther dude. Since it's the Lakers I hope he implodes and ruins the franchise!
 
Should we add the Kings to this thread title.
 
… Letting the days go by, let the Lakers hold me down
Letting the days go by, Lakers trading stars around
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once every season, Lakers trading stars around
… Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
