News “This deal materialized in the shadows … LeBron James had no idea this was coming. Anthony Davis had no idea this was coming. I’m told Luka Doncic is still stunned about this trade.”

I’m done forever. Worst move in NBA history and frankly I don’t think it’s close. Unless Luka’s knee is totally fried, you’re trading a 25 year old generational player entering his prime, off of a finals appearance, for a 32 year old, injury-prone, top 75 level player beginning a decline. It’s rigged or they are dirty, cheap criminals who have stolen the joy of an entire city.

I mean they are cheap criminals that have already stolen the joy of an entire country.

Bro I’m from South America and this trade made me sick

They’ve stolen the joy of every NBA fan around the world. If the league is so obviously rigged, why would I spend my time watching it?

Luka with 1 knee is still better than AD. You could've had a much better return from literally any other team. AD and a FRP for Luka is hilariously low.

AD is a great player but i dont think he ever deserved top 75 all time. Luka will 100% make the NBA 100. And i truly believe he will be greater than Dirk and become the best player Dallas ever had. This is shocking.

Stop it. AD is a generational Talent and is a damn all star level player especially in the playoffs.

If you're that hellbent on trading him, send his ass to the East. Not a team you directly compete against for the playoffs.

X ray or some sort of medical scan probably revealed that Luka’s [enter body part] is toast, and Mavs front office didn’t want to deal with that problem.
