Sorry for twitter link but wow it sounds so unbelievable that it looks like Shams was hacked. He's confirming it's real. Luka for Anthony Davis basically. Again it's real.

AD is a walking injury. So they are basically trading Luka for a 1st round pick and there is no way you end up getting someone better than Luka. I dont understand this.

Too late, wasted too much time with AD, shouldve taken the deal Indy offered that included Beal & Turner for Westbrook and the 2 1st round picks THEN moved AD for another shooter and defender.

The Lakers need SIZE. Someone to back up AD. Why would you then trade AWAY AD?

Both teams just got a lot worse.

I mean Lakers weren't going anywhere with this team and now they have a generational player for their future. It doesn't matter if LeBron and Luka can't get it done, this potentially sets them up for the next 10 years.

Yeah dunno what Dallas is smoking cause they got fucked with this trade. AD is great but he's no superstar and he failed his expectations bigly. He was supposed to be as great as people like Gianni's and KD but as anyone can see he's not at their level.

Yes, that is right. If AD were 5-10 years younger this'd make more sense but he's already nearly 32 yrs old.

Mavs prolly think AD is this unstoppable defensive player like Giannis to win a chip

Both teams just got a lot worse.

Lakers are essentially punting this season to put them in a better position for the future. Their future was looking very bleak since LeBron isnt a top 10 player anymore, AD is 31, and they didnt have many 1st round picks to use, but now they have a 25 year old superstar who is top 3-4 in the league when he plays (which should make them a more attractive free agent destination as well). And tbh they werent going anywhere this season anyway. This is good for them.

As for the Mavs though, this makes no sense at all. Especially when someone like Gobert and Mikal Bridges can net you 5 1st rounders. I would have expected someone trading for Luka to have to give up their present and future for him. Not for an aging star, a quality role player, and just 1 1st round pick.

Then deal LeBron for Luka and you still keep AD who is much younger and is your defensive anchor.

This move was stupid for both teams.

LeBron has a no trade clause in his contract (meaning he can choose to reject being traded if he wants to), and he definitely would refuse being traded to a Mavs team that doesnt have Luka.

Mavs were in the Finals just last year and Kyrie/LeBron are a proven championship duo. I'd entertain it if I were him.

Already been reported that he did not request a trade - the Mavs approached the Lakers about it, and Luka didn't learn about it until tonight either.

This is legit the most bizarre and shocking trade.
