There's a reason people think professional sports are rigged

Was my exact first thought and almost posted this thread myself. An obvious total giveaway by the Mavs. Lakers are +2000 to win the championship and that just became interesting. Hard to go against the Thunder, but you can probably buy the Lakers low here even if just as a hedge.

Unless the Lakers aren’t done dealing, this isn’t going to make a difference this year.

Who knows when Doncic is coming back and how fat he’ll be, and the Lakers don’t have any bigs whatsoever.

This doesn’t help either team that much. What a weird deal, all I know is that I can’t like Doncic anymore

 

[Charlie Marlow]

I can’t believe Adrian Dantley is still playing

Dumb as hell. Lakers now have a lot of offensive guys but no defensive guys. Lakers were finally starting to get healthy and play well too. They didn't need a panic trade like this.

Zero chance this year. This is a long-term play as Luka is battling injury. They might even rest him the remainder of the season and work to acquire a center for next year. Then Lebron, Luka, Reaves, and a good center makes next year interesting.

Biggest trade of my life. Insane.
