You don’t trade a 25 year old perennial MVP candidate coming from a finals run if he does not request a trade and without getting every NBA team to make a bid on him.

Seriously, how does the Lakers get gifted player after player?

Doncic still had a year left on his contract, so any team you trade him to gets two runs at a chip with him before he hits free agency. You could probably acquire any player you wanted in the entire NBA not named Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Victor Wembanyama for Doncic, his trade value is that high.

But of course by far the best play would have been to go all in on a rebuild. Can you imagine the asset haul Dallas could have gotten for Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving? They could have certainly restocked with a massive haul of good young players and unprotected picks. Instead they’re taking some kind of fugazy run at a chip with a Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis in their 30’s core.

This is just gross.

Its veto worthy. AD is very good, but you can’t just gift a top 5 player not even in his prime like that … the fact they they only approached the Lakers about this seems fishy as well.

Don’t see how LeBron and Luka make any sense together but the fact that the Lakers will have Luka after LeBron retires is the sickening part.

You want to build a good team, just be the Los Angeles Lakers and other teams will just give their best players to you. It’s some wrestling kayfabe shit.

Spot on. The best part was big Perk & ABC talking heads saying that Dallas won the trade. Bob Iger must really believe that he can tell American people what to think.
