OT: Luka to the Lakers, AD to the Mavs

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
 
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.

This really isn't a move the Lakers made for this year. They've moved on and now have a star for the next 10 years. Lebron might as well retire, they didn't even tell him they were doing this. The franchise finally woke up to the fact the Lebron era is over for them. Having said all of that, are they going to be able to motivate Luka to get in shape? I doubt it.
 
The talking heads seem to think this is the biggest NBA trade of our lifetime. I usually only pay attention to the NBA in late May/June so I guess it's huge. Saw LeBron had another triple double last night. He's not the best or all time but he is certainly the most durable.
 
I'm a huge Mavs fan and I am done with them. This all rigs of collusion. The Adleson family bought the team in hopes of bringing casino gambling to DFW. They're not going to get it. I believe this is the first step in moving the team to Vegas. It makes absolutely zero sense. Even if you didn't want to pay the max contract for Luka, you most certainly get more than one number one pick. And you noticed they didn't shop around they just did a back room deal. I'm out. No more NBA for me. It's all rigged.

Agree. 3 white dudes (one fatty) and a 40 year old doesn’t scream lockdown defense. Celtics exposed Luka last year in the finals. Dude can score but is ball dominate. Both him and LeBron are ball dominate. Not sure either can play off ball.
 
This, it's the ****ing modern NBA. Who cares?
You not only clicked the thread but took the time to reply to it. Also to answer your question, see the people who are having a discussion in the thread about the modern NBA.

Update on my comment about buying the Lakers championship low at +2000: Roughly 13 hours later they’re +1700.

I have no NBA team cause i dont care for the league anymore...at all...cept for below

But I think...i'm prolly not the only one who actually does care, even though i say i don't, because just like the Cowboys...its fun watching this version of the Lakers fail miserably. So i am very entertained right now watching that train wreck...which mean i guess i do care. LeBitch can suck it.

He is definitely an annoying bitch, I’ll agree there.
