Luka Doncic Traded To The LA Lakers


Did Luka say "Free Palestine" on Christmas Day?
Look up who owns the Mavericks now.

reply

Yeah, quite a shock.

Makes some sense though.

LA always has at least one marquee player. Bron is going to be gone soon, AD will be 32 in a month. Luka is 6 years younger.

The Lakers have their next marquee star.

Not quite as sure on the Maverick thinking.

Maybe they didn't want to pay him supermax $.

reply

It's definitely over the supermax, but still a head-scratcher. If Dallas doesn't go far soon, they really screwed up.

I wonder if LA made this deal hoping to keep Lebron playing an extra year?

reply

Yeah agreed on Dallas.

No, I don't think thoughts of LeBron had anything to do with it.

Other than - he'll be gone soon, we need a new star.

Luka fits the bill perfectly. He's probably got another 7 or 8 years as a top shelf player.

SUDDENLY I AM EXCITED FOR LAKER BASKETBALL FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE NUMBER 24 CHECKED OUT OF THE GAME FOREVER.

BADASS...I AM SO STOKED ON THIS TRADE...DAVIS WAS GREAT BUT LUKA IS SPECIAL.

reply

Reportedly, Dallas wanted Davis from the Lakers for his better defense. They were also concerned about Doncic's missing large numbers of games from injuries, his high cost, and his not staying in shape in the off season. He showed up overweight.

There were a lot more players involved in the trade, that involved other teams.

reply

That's just it. They didn't open up to other teams to see what they could offer better than the Lakers. This is trade malpractice if you ask me.

reply

THAT ISN'T HOW TRADING WORKS.🤔

reply

LMAO...DALLAS HAD CONCERN ABOUT DONCIC MISING GAMES....AD IS A WALKING DOCTOR'S BILL...THAT DUDE HAS MISSED LIKE 40% OF HIS CAREER.

reply

While I'm at it trashing professional sports...I haven't watched the NBA in years but this trade sure makes me think I'm not missing anything. Is this a trade made to get LeBrick another NBA title before he finally retires? That idiot has pretty much singlehandedly made the NBA unwatchable over the years.

This is for KOWALSKI:

Michael Jordan > Kobe Bryant
Isiah Thomas > John Stockton

🤬YOU!!!!!

Isiah Thomas beat Chicago, Celtics, Lakers more than they beat him. And had to beat them all in just one year. Pistons beat the Bulls 3 years in a row and then Isiah had "season ending wrist surgery" but were #1 at the time, but he was never the same.
