I don't know if they trade him never said one way or the other. Just mentioned what I was told plain and simple and those who know me understand this info only comes from really good sources. Lebron and Reaves don't like playing with him (LUKA) and that LA would love to move on from Lebron if they can. No idea if he gets traded or bought out but time will tell.
This is just wild to me. I thought LeBron loved Luka's game. Don't care about the Reaves part. BUT the Lakers would "love to move on from LeBron" is also kinda crazy... Love him or hate him, he made the Lakers relevant again after a long drought. Won a title... Now they would love to move on from him?
It's probably being overblown, but I have exactly zero trouble believing the two ball-handlers for LA prior to the Luka trade are less than thrilled with their new roles after acquiring him. We've talked a ton around here about how difficult it is to get into rhythm on offense with one guy monopolizing the ball for 20 seconds of every 24-second shot clock.
Personally, I'm happy the Mavs are out from under that style of play (though I wish they had a little more skill with the ball to replace Luka).
