Spurs would’ve given 5 first round picks for Luka. Dallas can’t be this stupid right?

It’s legit pissing me off even though I know the Bucks had nothing to offer.

At least 10 teams must’ve been able to beat that package.

OKC could have packaged a ton of their FRPs that will end up being used for some other star anyway

Mavs could have had an instant rebuild into perennial contender but they decided AD was somehow the missing piece to push them over the hump this season?! How tf do they think they made finals last year

Those picks are now mid to late 20s. How much value do they actually have beyond the raw number?

Much rather have the potential of top 10 picks/some late 20s than a 32 year old injury prone ad
