Us getting involved saved the Lakers from having to give up Austin Reaves, who I thought Mavs absolutely should've gotten in the deal.
Dallas trading Luka to the Lakers for Anthony Davis! Utah involved.

I think you’re missing the point that they wanted a star.
Unless Luka for some reason bolts from the Lakers in 2026 *fingers crossed*
Just incredible to me this was the best they could do.
Even if they’re dead-set insistent on getting Anthony Davis, I just struggle to accept there was no other way to secure more draft capital. But maybe I’m wrong.
Either way, the Lakers are thrilled which makes the universe sad.

Insane that Dallas didn't try to create a market for Luka, even if their intention was to send him to LA. Dallas could have angled for more players or another FRP from the Lakers.

May be the only one but i don't think it's such a bad trade for Dallas. Luka is talented but the way he take care his body, he will got more and more issues and he does not play defense. On my opinion, Dallas goes all in and try to win this year with AD at his prime ( and healthy). Risky strategy but we know at the end of the season if they were right.
I also think that Cuban were not willing to pay supermax for Luka is he think he can't win with him. Time will tell. But if Luka is healthy, it make LA a serious contender this year. They just need another big and they will be tough to beat.
