Doncic - Anthony Davis Trade

[Phrazbit]

What the actual hell?! I have a nice night out from the family, comeback 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.

Yeah, even as a fat tub, he's a top 5 player in the league. Davis is just as unreliable as Luka and he's much older.

Bonkers.

It's going to help Dallas this year, but I'm not a fan of Doncic

I think this shows who the new Mavs owners are because there's no way Mark Cuban would make this deal. I think they sold within the last 2-3 years.

Luka in LA could be a real disaster. If he's distracted in Dallas then he won't survive LaLaLand.

He obviously has warts, to actually win a title with him you're going to need a lot of very specific type players... dudes that bust their butts, play great D and are not divas... they can't be selfish because when Luka is out there they are hardly going to see the ball. And everytime they screw up, or even when Luka falls asleep on D, Luka is going to yell at them. He's also going to scream at the refs, even when he is getting every call in his favor, because he's just a prick.


On the other side... a Luka team has a really high floor. He can miss 20 or 30 games and your team is probably still going to make the playoffs, even if he is fat as a pig. He is just so good at running an offense that his teams are a virtual lock be a top 10 offense.

Of the top 5 or 10 guys in the NBA, he probably has the most red flags, but he's also the 2nd best offensive player in basketball after Jokic.

I figured the Lakers would have a couple years while LeBron and Durant dried up before they got any kind of relivence again, but now, unless Luka just keeps gaining weight exponentially, they are always going to be in the conversation.

Every like 6 years one of the best players in basketball just falls into their lap for a song... it is revolting. Dumb luck via geogrophy and history.
