Next alien's are coming to demand we give Wemby back.
Dallas trading Luka to the Lakers for Anthony Davis! Utah involved.
- Thread starter Ferguson_Mellochill
- Start date
He certainly is, especially with Kyrie

This trade went down awful fast. I wonder how many teams would agree to mortgage their future for Luka without a physical. I can definitely see star hungry LA doing that, especially knowing worst case they could just not offer him a contract next year and back fill with free agents.
Honestly, with the assets they kept, LA didn't mortgage much of anything.

This is crazy. No one could have imagined Luka getting traded and of course it's to the Lakers. The way they re tool with superstars is unreal. Hopefully for our sake and the future laker pick this isn't a wake up call for Luka to get into and stay in great shape. Unfortunately I think being next to LeBron and seeing the way he approaches things will have a positive impact on the way he approaches his body.
The biggest question is who else can the Lakers get. Luka can't carry a team without help, at least defensively
Some ideas I don't see mentioned yet:
- Dallas probably wanted to get this done stealthily because of Lebron.
- Kyrie has been really good this year and they are trying to match his timeline.

You get it done stealth because if both your targets say no then Luka knows you were actively trying to trade him
This definitely feels like new owners taking over and wanting to show they are in charge now.
If you are determined to trade him, then that wouldn't matter.
I dont think they were that determined. They probably had a list of players they wanted. If they cant get that list done, then you just have him. If he knows, then you have to trade. Or he is able to dictate where he wants to go and lower the price for that team.
