Mavs didn't even shop him around to other teams to see what kind is haul they could get, they literally just called up the Lakers and said "hey please take this 25 year old generational talent and perennial MVP candidate who took us to the finals off our hands" ... Copied to Clipboard!

Vegy posted... lmao daum, are dey stupid or que Nah, league is just built to put the biggest name players on the team that is probably almost as big as the league itself. It is not a coincidence that this happened now just in time for the Lakers to start building around him next year when that new streaming deals money from Amazon starts coming in. --- Gamefaqs Community Organizer ...

this is the same lakers front office that blew up their championship team for russel westbrook. theres no way theyre going to build a better team for luka than the current mavs the mavs have made great moves until now. the only way this makes sense if luka's knee is actually unsalvageable. --- no ...

Freddie_Mercury posted... this is the same lakers front office that blew up their championship team for russel westbrook. theres no way theyre going to build a better team for luka than the current mavs Championship team was pretty makeshift as it was with how little of a roster they had left after trading for Davis. They had to way overpay on veterans which got them locked so much in cap hell that the only move they could make was an obvious bad one to bring in Westbrook. After that time, however, they have been making some really nice additions given how little room they have had. Drafting Reaves and Dalton is just insane and bringing in other key contributors like Rui. --- Gamefaqs Community Organizer ... Copied to Clipboard!

BlueTigerLion posted... So how long before Kyrie demands a trade. Thought point of him signing with Mavs was to be a super team with Luka.I dunno, maybe he and AD will bond over a desire to win away from Lebron's shadow, lol. Mavs do still have a good roster that could make a lot of noise - I mean, they were in the Finals last year and AD is really fucking good too - but it's so tenuous with health concerns. And their window just got a LOT shorter. Lakers right now are a flawed team but have a do-it-all offensive superstar to build around for a good 7+ more years. --- https://i.imgur.com/qUAL3fG.gifv ...

TheSuperSilver posted... Mavs were in the Finals just last year and Kyrie/LeBron are a proven championship duo. I'd entertain it if I were him. The Mavs were in the Finals because of Luka and Kyrie and Lebron are both ten years older. Plus Bronny is on the Lakers now and I'm pretty sure Lebron wants to close out his career with him --- I have nothing else to say ... Copied to Clipboard!

lmao, Harrison literally said he's not thinking about anything past 3 years from now, exactly what you want to hear from your GM if youre a Mavs fan Also they apparently didn't shop Luka around and start a bidding war because they didn't want Luka to find out they wanted to move him and then openly demand a trade somewhere specific in response. Which means, in order to avoid him hurting his own trade value which would cause the team to get a lackluster return, they...went and negotiated a secret deal which nets them a lackluster return. ...

Xenogears15 posted... So I don't watch the NBA, only MLB and the NHL. Can someone use hypothetical examples from those two leagues to help me judge how good/bad of a trade this was?Luka is a once in a life time generational player. He's a global superstar. He's someone you build an entire franchise around. He's only 25 years of age and he took the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA finals last season. I'd say he's comparable to Shohei Ohtani. Anthony Davis - not sure who I can compare him to in the MLB. He's supposed to be generational player like Luka as well but he has not lived up to his hype but he did win a championship a few years ago. He's a Robin where as Luka is a Batman. --- Don't like it?

Sometimes I just don't turn my phone on but I was up last night.

Holy shit, if there is even a little bit of truth to this Harrison might be the worst GM to ever touch a sports franchise "The Luka Doni deal originally included multiple first-round picks, Dalton Knecht, and more, but was chiseled down after Rob Pelinka was able to convince Nico Harrison that taking on Luka Doni was a big risk due to his weight and injury history. Goldsberry also says that Rob Pelinka was able to convince Nico Harrison not to shop Luka Doni and convince him that the Lakers were the only real suitor that could give the Mavericks the best player to win-now so he shouldnt bother to negotiate with other teams." ...
