The really weird thing to me tho is that Gafford and Lively are both quality centers on good contracts. No, they dont have AD starpower, but as a duo they give you 48 minutes a night of big energy and excellent defense. And theyre both young.
Why Dallas traded Luka for an over 30, injury prone center makes so little sense to me. AD is not Jokic or Embiid. Hes good but... hes not like an all time great. If youve already got Gafford and Lively it feels weird to trade a megastar for Anthony Davis.
[QUOTE=warriorfan;14974070]I think this is fake news. Someone bit on a bad source.
Makes no sense for Dallas to do this.[/QUOTE]
this boi shaking :oldlol::roll:
Bron is 100% behind this.
The fact he's being reported in this story as having no idea and being out at dinner, literally a fake narrative to cover himself.
Have fun pulling the knife out, AD

AD at PF it looks like.
I wonder what donald trump thinks of this. :eek:
[QUOTE=Im Still Ballin;14974128]Jason Kidd maybe? Hard-working, lunch-pail guy but with a checkered past of scandals both as a player and coach. Petty enough to back this move perhaps.[/QUOTE]
I dunno man, Luka has been Kidd's meal ticket as a Mav. And Kidd has been effusive in his praise of Luka throughout.
The thing is it just makes NO sense. You dont need to be in LA to be a star these days, and Luka has always stated very genuinely and convincingly that he wants to be in Dallas. Plus they just made a finals. Hes not going to a tangibly better on-court situation in LA either.
Why either side, Luka or Mavs management would make this move.... is for now the biggest mystery I can ever recall in pro sports.
Mavs apparently came to the Lakers with the trade offer tonight.
[I]Shams:
“LeBron James had no idea this was coming, Anthony Davis had no idea this was coming. I'm told Luka Doncic is still stunned about this trade.”

An AD Lively Gafford frontcourt rotation is super S tier. They're going to bully teams.
Lebron and Luka is an awkward fit. Two QBs who dominate time of possession and aren't great play finishers. AD and Lebron were great together because AD is a great play finisher.
Mark Stein reporting that Luka did not request a trade and the Mavs did it on their own. They initiated the whole thing by calling the Lakers.

Well that's true, it's certainly a front court upgrade. But it's not like they badly needed one is all Im saying. To trade Luka to do it? I mean WOW.
Im just so blown away at this right now.
