TRADE: Luka Doncic to Lakers, Anthony Davis to Mavericks

I know AD got injured the other night, but I'm wondering if he was already made aware of this, and that's why he didn't travel with the team. Also, how long is Luka supposed to be out? Will he just stay out until the All Star break is over?

doesn’t make lakers better. But hey when bron retires you can be happy you got an overweight, poor conditioned white Bron to carry the franchise…not sure where exactly. Probably hope for free agency to stack another roster

If you are the Lakers you make this trade. You were not winning a chip with the current squad. You just secured a bonified superstar who is only 25.

Luka is still an mvp caliber player and still young. Theres definitely more coming because the lakers roster makes no sense right now.

Apparently Mavs came to the lakers and straight up said ‘hey you want Luka?’ Really unexpected but I think if you’re management you don’t pass up that opportunity.

This is some weird dream right? Theres no way this is reality.

This is too weird.

Im seriously shocked and confused as hell rn.

[QUOTE=Im Still Ballin;14974080]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.[/QUOTE]

Lakers beat reporter just said Lebron had no idea. Lebron was apparently having post game dinner with his family in NYC when he learned the news.

When I first heard the news from a friend I immediately thought my friend was pranked by a fake Twitter account

Either there were some major issues between Luka and management or his health concerns Dallas too much with his contract coming up. If you're not going to sign him for the super max then this was your best bet. He'll pass trade physicals but Dallas might not see longevity in him. And he's only going to get worse defensively going forward.

But AD? Dude's not exactly an ox himself. Could they have done better though? I don't know.

The lakers can ship Lebron tomorrow for all I care haha. Pelinka made one of the greatest trades in nba history, greatest in my lifetime at least

Thank God for that first season because LA butchered most of the LeBron-AD era.

Year one was perfect. Year two was ruined by injuries. Year three ruined by Westbrook trade. Year four salvaged by trades. Year five just couldn't get past Denver. Year six probably would've gone the same as year five.

[QUOTE=1987_Lakers;14974097]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.[/QUOTE]

He will be 26 end of this month. So by time he impacts the lakers he will be 27. Not a bad trade at all for LA. But what is built around Luka will be key. Becuase he’s not carrying a cast of duds by himself. The good thing is LA will always be a host destination for top tier players. Just a matter of who is available and what fit/works with Luka.

If mr glass AD was your best bet, you're screwed.

They could have opened the floor for 29 other teams and gotten a bigger return than that.

As a Lakers fan it's amazing to get Luka but I have to admit that' was the worst heist in NBA history.

I mean what other big produces as good as Davis in the NBA?

Rumors on Twitter that LeBron to the Warriors is gaining some traction.

[I]Kyrie has a player option this summer. I think LeBron does too. Anyway to rig that time and why so LeBron op out and Kyrie signs and then LeBron signs back?[/I]
