Dallas writer Tim McMahon is reporting that Luka has shot up to nearly 270 pounds.

I think we’re going to hear a lot of really ugly Dončić stories over the next few days.
They’ve got to create a narrative for the fan base.

Of course, we are. This trade is going to be rationalized by the Mavericks.

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?
Part of the craziness is all the players involved, and LeBron, didn't know this was happening. Took a couple weeks to set up.

I have to think Luka has some sort of degenerative issue that is going to severely shorten his career.

Wtf is Dallas doing?!?

There's a million stories out there already.

Dallas got tired of his being overweight and getting hurt, said they lied about an injury last year to let him work on conditioning and did it again this year. they were afraid to commit to a super max because of his
conditioning, he had ballooned to 260 pounds

That seems to be the most common one but there's also talk Doncic really hated being in Texas and wanted out. THere's been stories for years that his fiance hates it and after they had a child she made it clear she wanted to get out of there.

the UCLA board I read everyone thinks the other shoe to drop will be LeBron to Golden State

There's a guy that posts on BRO by the handle of Hurricane westbrook. He's apparently a personal trainer and has all sorts of connections. This offseason he said there were rumblings Dallas was going to trade Luka and the Lakers would probably be in play if they did. and if that happened, LeBron would be a Warrior so that's where the LeBron thing is coming from on that board

That still doesn’t make the Warriors contenders and the Lakers arent taking Wiggins because it messes up their 2027 free agency.

I don't want it to happen I don't want LeBron and Bronny but that's the rumor. I edited the first post there's a guy on BRO who called the Luka trade months ago, before the season started and he's the one that said if it happens look for LeBron to the Warriors.

Apparently he and Steph really would like to play together

The Lakers got Pau Gasol in his prime for nothing. It basically saved Kobe’s legacy and made the Lakers a contender. I’d say this is crazier just because it’s a bigger blockbuster.
yes, that was the last time i thought a trade was far too once-sided to not be shady, and it was the Lakers again.

and it can't just be because Luka is toxic or will be fat, because Dallas could still have gotten more from the Lakers or some other team. Cuban is a Shark (Tank).

there's more to this than meets the eye. I would bet that Luka forced his way to the Lakers but Dallas agreed to keep it quiet.

No way.
1. Never trade a star of that caliber.
2. Ensure you get paid.

They failed on both. I can't believe it. Dallas cannot be that stupid and incompetent.

What the actual hell?! I have a nice night out with the family, come back and wham!

Two things. This might be one of the worst trades I have ever seen. The Mavs got back an often injured Davis with a huge contract and only that set of picks for a generation player?

Second, there has to be more to this. They were concerned about his conditioning? Look, he has some issues but it’s freaking Luka. There had to be some issues behind the scene with him being toxic. Which is not hard to believe from what we have seen on the court.

I lied. One more thing. Naturally it’s the Lakers that get him. Total bull.
