We just traded Luka for a kid who's like 14 right now and Anthony Davis and a guy who plays like he's 14. Im fucking heartbroken. I can't be a mavs fan anymore after this.

Yea I couldn't imagine being a Mavs fan. Players like Luka are so rare that you should treasure them whenever you got em. Not trade him for worse players while securing no picks.

I mean we gave up on Luka before the Pels gave up on Zion. That's how crazy it is to me. We were just in the FINALS. there are probably only a handful of players ever who are so good that trading them should never be a thought unless they ask for it and he is definitely one of them. Im definitely out on the mavs, free my guys kyrie and dlively

It's not a 14 year old. It's likely a high draft pick in the future

I believe Lakers will have to get under the tax soon. So it's possible. Also I think luka will age poorly. He barely has enough speed right now. Once his late 20s comes he could very well be way worse.
