Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[BigDirk41]

I wonder if LeBron demands a trade now? Him and Luka have zero chance of ever winning a title together.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

This was all Nico guys. He says defense wins chips

Nico isn’t dumb. He’s just being a good soldier because he wants to keep his job. This is from above. It’s Adelsons.

the more I think about this, the more I consider this the worst trade of the past 25 years
is there anything even close?

[cow]

Dalton Knecht, another FRP or two and some swaps would have made it easier to swallow. Just when you think it couldn't get worse than Jerry, Stephen, Donnie and Mark in Dallas, Nico says, "hold my beer".

Nah. They will be the biggest story in the league for a couple seasons. LeBron loves the limelight.

You may be right, but they are also rich AF.

on the road to Vegas

[BigDirk41]

At least we didn't get Bronny....haha

[BolsDamols]

Fuck this shit! Any chance this gets vetoed at all? if not, like some of the people here have said, I am done with the Mavs and probably the NBA.

[SirMyztiq]

Ok, on the bright side, out roster looks pretty damn good once healthy. Is it better than it was with Luka back? Idk

[nicholasthefan]

I’m really interested to see what leaks over the next few days on this. There has to be some tea to be spilled for this massive shakeup

[BigDirk41]

I doubt it. Talent wise, it's fine. It's just absolutely stupid on the Mavs part. They should have gotten a lot more out of the Lakers or another team.

[donzingis38]

Wow. I'm just shocked. I can't believe this is really happening right now.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

I bet KillerLeft is more upset we’re going to play a two center lineup.

This is the only thing that makes sense but even then the haul is terrible.  Unless the Adelsons want Luka with the Lakers for some reason.

Maybe they'll play all 3 together 

[HoosierDaddyKid]

I certainly get having trepidation about Luka in his late 20s/early 30s
He's probably going to get hurt more and more. But there's no way you can defend this trade. Are you defending it?

No, I'm not defending it. They should have got more back. But I believe they got tired of watching him sitting on the bench with another injury due to his disdain for his conditioning and watching his weight. I also believe they weren't about to pay him the Super Max due to him not being serious about it either.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

Tbh I’m having a hard time coming up with other top 20 players we could’ve traded him for, if Nico was instructed by owners to trade him for a win now player instead of a million picks.

[nicholasthefan]

To the people saying this is to save money… AD will make almost $60mil next year and even more the year after that.

[BolsDamols]

This is the only thing that makes sense but even then the haul is terrible.  Unless the Adelsons want Luka with the Lakers for some reason.

fucking Mikal Bridges got like 5 picks. there has to be something sinister going on here.

wtf
