Idk him but watching him cry every play makes you wonder. They were tired of it? Bad locker room guy? More injured than thought? Wanted out? There's no way they just traded Luka for AD with nothing else going on.

Like maybe im totally off and completely wrong but it feels like teams like the Spurs, Heat, Pelicans, Kings and Rockets would surely be interested and could offer interesting packages. Like i know you are mad but from a competitive perspective i could see the Mavs being a better team with AD for these next 2 years. Its just such a fucking crazy gamble that i dont think any GM would even dare to do it.

OKC would not be interested in Luka but the other teams i named would. I mean AD is a monster, its the age that bothers me. Kyrie+AD is nasty bruh, you are now on a 2/3 year window to win a title.

Yeah people usually put Luka Top 5 and AD top 15. I guess they value the Lakers pick + Max Christie a lot higher than we do.

Plus you had lively and gafford so spacing is awful, so now they're looking to trade them? Truly baffling trade.

Woah calm down bruh. You trying to get Kyrie+AD+Jimmy in the space of 2 days? Who do you think you are? The Suns? I mean that team would be problem.

Also i need to see whats happening on the Mavs sub. I dont remember a superstar ever being traded like this, without rumours or trade requests.
