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

Okay, this just underscores the question of why the Jazz are involved. Yeah, I guess maybe trust? But if anything I would think the relationship there might be somewhat acrimonious after a ~7 month standoff.
 
Not sure if this aspect has been discussed but Luka is now playing with an absolute legend.
If anyone can get the most out Luka and get him in shape and playing hard then it just night be LeBron.
 
In a league dominated by superstars, trading away a top 5 player that's 25/26 doesn't make sense. It's not like he has the same condition issues as Zion. Are people forgetting that he took a limited roster to the finals last year? I would be surprised if the Mavs make the finals again in the next decade. If they kept Luka, my guess is they would be back in the finals once or twice. Unequivocally a lopsided trade.

They clearly want to make another run with Kyrie and Klay. If Luka is unavailable, and that was clearly a concern for them, it’s not a downgrade.

Still could have got more elsewhere.

I think going from the finals and Luka to whatever they do this season and AD is a downgrade.

I know JZ is highly connected being a former agent. That's the benefit of having a large FO I guess. We've also been connected as having legitimate interest in JHS, probably because DA/JZ respect my opinion (sarcasm)
 
I doubt many teams wanted JHS due to his free agency status. Not a lot of upside there.

Im sure both 2nds are somewhat fake. Utah will probably end up selling them for cash on draft night or using them on stash players.

One discussion in Reddit kinda struck my eye. They are saying that this is political and personal, and targeted at Mark Cuban by the new owner obliging to Trump/Musk who Cuban has criticized in the past.

Sounds wild but I'm out of logical reasonings at this point.

It tracks but I can't believe that is what happened.
