Dallas trading Luka to the Lakers for Anthony Davis! Utah involved.

This is crazy. why do other teams help out the Lakers. Jazz just lowered the value of the laker pick that had great potential to be a lottery pick. Plus when Lebron retires many players with flock to play with Luka. I hate the Lakers so much. Hood has been terrible, and two more 2nds isn't worth making the Lakers better.
 
Ratings suck so the league stepped in. No GM could possibly be dumb enough to do this trade. Even with Doncic being unable to guard a chair.

Feel like the Lakers have to trade LeBron for whatever future assets package you can get. They should lose a lot of games now. Atalanta should be happy. They might get a lottery pick from this trade.

Or they push to get Kessler (who the Lakers have already courted) in hopes to win 1 more with Lebron.

Dont know if that would work but its a theoretical path at least since Kessler also has long term potential/synergy with Luka.
 
Also interesting to see whether someone would try and get Silver to veto this deal sort of like what Stern did with Chris Paul to Lakers. "Basketball Reasons 2.0"

From what I gathered one of the leading voices to cause that veto back in the day was ironically Mark Cuban.

The Jazz aren't going to give them Kessler for a single first. Maybe they can go get Nik Claxton? But why would they? Luka/LeBron/Reeves is the worst defensive trio in NBA history.

Because the trade isn't that uneven.

It's two top 10 players traded for each other, and the team who got the lesser of the two got a first round pick and a promising role player.
 
I think Ainge probably screwed the value of the Wolves pick a bit this year. I legit have a hard time seeing Dallas catch them now.

I think we are just so use to trades focused around future packages are brains are broken by two top 10 guys getting traded for each other

I guess in some sort of weird world, this balances the Mavs roster some and opens Kyrie to be more ball dominant? But AD is 32, injury prone, and not likely to age gracefully. Pelinka literally got a gift from the Gods.
