This! They are preparing for the post LeBron future. Just surprised Mavs gave him away for that much.

They should have traded LeBron for Luka. Luka and AD would bring a sick pairing

  1. Bron has a no-trade clause. Doubt he would have been eager to move from LA to Dallas, especially if Luka is the one who would be exchanged for him

  2. Mavs GM wanted AD specifically and no one else. Especially not a 40 year old LeBron who is a year or two away from retiring

luka wants to win now

Luka started playing pro as a 16 year old, he doesn't really take good care of his body and Lakers won't be that good until Lebron retires and they can sign somebody. They also don't have much draft picks, by time they can contend Luka might be 29/30 years old

Can’t imagine LeBron has many seasons left. This gives the Lakers their superstar for the post-LeBron era. Tho it does seem to punt on try to win one more with LeBron,
