Anthony Davis traded for Luka
- Thread starter WildcatUKx
- Start date
So they’d instead feel more secure building around a notoriously injury-prone 32-year old? That makes no sense at all.
But it’s surely gonna provide good fodder for the conspiracy theorists. So right when LeBron is about to ride off into the sunset …which means the NBA might no longer have a superstar on its flagship glamour franchise …Luka just drops in their lap? Hmmm….
You and I are completely the opposite. 😂 I like Luka and hate the Lakers.
It is a weird night. So much so, I am not sure if I should go to sleep tonight.
Lebron has to retire soon, right??
Luka is 6 years younger than AD, building life for post LeBron?

Not sure how reliable this account is but would be crazy if this happened
Lebron is toast. I wish they would trade him next asap.
His dumb draft my hobbit son flex is gonna cost the Lakers too. Celtics will be to 20 plus titles by 2030 and lakers stuck on 17 due to lebron.
I wish, but I have a bad feeling. I want to keep the titles record. What if they get one more dog? Then we are screwed.
Same here. So many people on social media make these photos with the technology out there that can make anything look legitimate.
He let Nash go elsewhere as well.
Not real smart.
If AD were 10 years younger maybe, but this is really stupid.

Pretty much my story as well!
NBA is so unwatchable for me anymore this "huge" trade really does nothing for me.
I never really liked watching the Mavericks play because Luka just dominated the ball and most of his teammates just watched him and waited for a pass..lol
One of for sure. Maybe Bron got his feelings hurt because AD asked for help and help and not his kid so he sent him to play with Kyrie lol.
All I know is the Laker’s defense is about to be garbage. They weren’t the greatest with AD. Now you have two of the worst defenders in the league for starters and stars in old Lebron and Luka. No paint protection with AD. Gonna be interesting.
That would be dumb as hell, I know the Warriors want to give Curry some help but they can’t decimate their culture and roster to get old a LeBron. That would be an even dumber of a trade.
I think this fell into their laps, and you have to take the 25 year old MVP candidate, even if it sets back this season.
I totally get where Dallas is coming from after watching the Finals vs Boston. But MAN. Luka is also the reason you got to the Finals.
The Lakers got away with highway robbery. And now it's easier to make other trades to build a team that fits around Luka for the long term.
I'm a Lakers fan. Honestly it's been hard to get excited for the regular season because it always feels like they don't really have a chance at a title. And, even worse, we don't have a clear plan for the future.
Now you can build around Luka. I hope they trade LeBron.
Cuban no longer has control over these decisions after selling his controlling interest last year.
Mavs GM Nico Harrison is the guy behind this trade.
I both get it, and don't get it.
He had an embarrassing performance defensively in the finals. You'd like to see the guy put in the effort to get into elite level "shape." And his body is basically the same.
On the flip side. That version of Luka got you to the finals. He's 25. He'll be in the MVP discussion every year for the next 7 or 8 seasons. He'll win 1 or 2.
And a Lakers franchise that felt trapped in mediocrity for years--now has climbed it's way back out of hell.
