Big sigh of relief for their ownership and their 40 billion dollars.

It's sad because I think Mat Ishbia would have done the deal in a heartbeat if he had the assets.

Davis has maybe another year or two playing at this level. Same with Kyrie. Klay is already cooked.

Just a stupid short sided deal for the Mavs who couldn’t even get all the Lakers picks.

Lakers probably thinking of a Luka/Jokic pairing down the road.

I bet the Lakers were squealing with glee and couldn't wait to pull the trigger. And they only had to give up one first round pick.

It was easier than a layup drill.

Davis is owed $60 million a year for the following three seasons. I’d rather pay that money to a 25 year old superstar, even if he is a fat pain in the ass.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Suns are probably trying to figure out how many second round picks their first rounds picks are worth.

Except we didn't have AD. No doubt he would have ponied up the assets.

The Suns already spent their wad in the Durant trade. The Nets showed the Suns how it's done... along with the Trail Blazers.

If we had known, you bet Ishbia would have ponied up KD. Not sure if Ishbia would have overpaid with Booker, too.

This is what the Lakers look like now.

This is the most shocking trade in NBA history, right?

Absolutely, I just heard it’s the first time two all nba players from the previous season were traded for each other mid season.

I am racking my brain trying to think of a more shocking trade in any sport. Wayne Gretzky to the kings?
