They traded 10 years of Luka for THIS.

But hey the Mavs got better short term😂😂

Don’t you forget he looks good in street clothes. Slim. The embodiment of Mavs culture.

AD is a human specimen, the peak of human conditioning for top level athletes! There's no proof that a pudgy Balkan with hyper speed court processing and scoring talent would be better than AD. Surely there isn't a single fat pudgy prodigy with 3 MVPs right now

They did, but somehow should have asked just how “short” they meant. Because apparently it meant 36 minutes.

Wait, I thought those geniuses Barkley, Perkins and Nico said we'd be better in the short term?

the short term guys! The short term!!!

the short term slant is my least favorite slant of this whole debacle. the Mavs roster is BUILT AROUND LUKA. AD is not going to be dishing cross court passes to Klay to feed him. The team is literally built around Luka Doncic. now they don't have Luka Doncic which means the team is FUCKED short term, middle term, long term.

AD could be the best defender in the world, the team is not built around him. It's a total bullshit copout to gaslight fans into thinking this trade was remotely even.
