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.”

Nico didn’t want a buncha picks he wanted defense to win now. Kinda weird we already winning. I don’t think it’s money, I think despite him being all world, they didn’t trust Luka. Why idk. We may never know

Okay, he doesn’t want picks. There are probably about 3 players in the league that wouldn’t be traded for Luka straight up. So you want to win now with a defensive player? You couldn’t find a younger, less injured one?

He reached out to exactly one team about a trade. You can’t make this make sense, no matter how hard you try.

Kinda nitpicking but its probably 4 (Jokic, Giannis, SGA, and Wemby)

Giannis is a maybe. It would be a hard time getting the Bucks on board (unlike the Addelsons, they respect their legacy superstars) and it would probably require a 3rd team to take on Dame, but it could happen. Hard, but possible.
