LeBron had to sign off on it, no? Imagine that phone call. "Do it." Like [I]The Godfather Pt. 2[/I] when Michael decides to wack Fredo.

wtf :facepalm
Still good luck getting past over tough, young contenders in the playoffs. Like the thunder and the rockets.
[QUOTE=Mask the Embiid;14974077]They just said **** defense...... lol wow. if this works out and they win a ring, it will change the way the game is played forever.
wow.....LeBron put his nuts on the table and said im all in for this last year. Make the trade[/QUOTE]
It's a weird fit to the current squad, but this is 100% a future thing. LeBron is about to retire & AD is in his 30's.
Lakers just stole a top 5 player in the league who is only 25.
:roll:
I heard them say it on SportsCenter like it was a random throw in line right before commercial break. They even added a “Seriously…” like it was some kinda ad campaign. Didnt even mention the lakers. My ass got up and went to bed, thinking it was some kind of joke.
I wonder if Luka privately told the Mavericks that he’s done and wants out.
Dallas going all in on defense:
[QUOTE]“I believe that defense wins championships,” Mavs GM Nico Harrison told ESPN regarding his motivation to trade Doncic for AD. “I believe that getting an All-Defensive center and an All-NBA player with a defensive mindset gives us a better chance. We’re built to win now and in the future.”[/QUOTE]
Will they go big with Lively/Gafford + AD starting? They have to, right?
Most shocking and out no where trade in all my years of watching the NBA.
I still can't believe it.
:roll:
This is probably worst than Kwame Brown for Pau Gasol. What a heist. Now Lakers just need to trade LeBron while his value is still high
LeBron for Lavine+filler would be nice
Trash for both teams

Just saw a tweet on NBA TV that said the Mavs are concerned about Luka’s conditioning issues and giving a guy like that a max deal. Makes sense for the Lakers completely. They now have their guy for the future once LeBron retires.
Luka will be on load management for him to be effectively productive come playoff time.

**** the future. This is Lukas team now. Just need to trade LeBron and get another good young player and we're set.
Kyrie - Klay - PJ Washington - AD - Gafford
How do you rate that lineup?

As a big LeBron stan I agree, trade him, I'm sure some dummy team would give up too much for the 40 year old for the simple fact that he is LeBron. This is Luka's team now.
