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

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Anthony Davis is older and just as injury prone as Luka. He's also not a consistent defensive presence, though he can be if he's healthy and motivated. Not a good move by Dallas.

Makes sense for LA though. You get a 25 y.o. All NBA player who can attract free agents to LA....if star players still make it to free agency.

Brother, this trade was happening whether the Jazz were involved or not.

Might as well get some freebies.

Absorbing 2 2nd round picks that will end up being somewhere in the 50s this year isn't worth squat. Jazz already have 2 1sts this year.

This is so ****ing weird. The only thing that starts to make sense is that Dallas knows something important no one else does but… do the Mavericks know that Anthony Davis has been more unhealthy than healthy for the past four years? Or that he’s older?

What is happening

**** I’d be pissed if I was a Mavs fan. AD is a poor man’s Derek favors….

Dallas initiated the trade. What a weird move.

If Dallas really wants to move Luka, then fine. But why the rush? Why the Lakers for that package?

Right. Shams said Mavs approached the Lakers offering Luka... Sure with such mega offer they can't ask a few more teams? Like to the bucks for Giannis? Or even to the Nuggets for Jokic? Who's gonna be the go-to-scorer on that Mavs team now? Both AD and Irving are solid second options but not the alpha that you can build your offense around.

League gotta open an investigation, either on Klutch sports or those gambling companies. It's shady as ****

I seriously don't understand the NBA. Something is off with this trade.

Somehow this may be the craziest thing that has happened this week.

I still can't believe this is real, absolutely bonkers.

Like any conspiracy theory feels plausible because this is so ****ing insane. Maybe Luka said he wanted to retire to become a full-time eSporte player
