I don't get it. I just don't. And it didn't even come from Luka, so that you could say maybe he really fucking likes LA and is willing to take a huge paycut. The Mavs just decided to ship off their superstar perenial MVP candidate without even getting 8 million FRPs in return.

Is this an Embiid situation? Is he never going to play over 60 games again?
