TRADE: Luka Doncic to Lakers, Anthony Davis to Mavericks

[tontoz]

*scrolls*

What post season success does Luka have exactly? First rd exits until last season.

Embiid.

Actually Luka got farther in the playoffs than embiid ever had even if you don't include last season. He made the WCF in '22.

[JohnnySic]

LOL. That's all the Mavs could get for Luka? Anthony "empty stats bro" Davis?

Some teams deserve to stay in the toilet.

[AlternativeAcc.]

The start of your post proves my point. Neither player accomplished any success outside of stats and accolades lol

“Luka carried Dallas to the finals”.

They beat Clippers without its best player.
They beat up on the youngest team in the playoffs
Kudos on the Wolves series

They got a dose of reality vs the Celtics. And one of the things they LACKED in that series they gained in a trade. Go figure that


But continue with the cute espn stat takes “first player to take team at age 25 with 25% body fat to the nba finals while avg over 27ppg”. Kewl!

I don’t care what fans on the planet think. Somehow you know what they think. What a fascinating skill you possess. Why are you here and not on Forbes? You’re sitting on a lottery ticket and afraid to cash in.


You don’t have to agree with me that embiid and Luka is fair value. But here is a fact? Ready for this? Luka was just traded for Anthony Davis. Yikes. That happened. But I’m crazy to think embiid and Luka is for value. Got it.

Me explaining that Luka has been a significantly better playoff performer than Embiid individually and has led his teams to more success at a younger age... proves your point?

The fact that you didn't even know Luka made the conference finals a few years ago tells me you're not even qualified to be having a discussion about this shit.

Embarrassing you're even trying. None of the drivel you just wrote out is anything I remotely took seriously on any level, btw.

Amazing get for the Lakers though I don't see how they're winning in the short-term unless another trade is in the works here. Bron/Luka/Reaves is a nightmare on defense and now you got no one to protect the rim.

Can't believe we got Luka though I've always rooted for him gonna need a few days or weeks to process this.

[Phoenix]

He didnt do this to the number 1 seed Phoenix Suns in 2022 en route to a conference finals?




Whatever else you wanna say about Luka, the one thing thats undeniable is he has been a playoff KILLER.

Thats not up for dispute between sane individuals.

As of now, 2nd all-time in playoff PPG at 31ppg after 50 games.

Yeah embiid can’t get past rd 2. Getting a rd further in 22 is cool. Just not a deciding factor in terms of who has more value to me. I forgot the crazy run in 22.

Exactly. GOBB needs to STFU, total Embid glazer. So biased towards him it clouds his judgement

Embiid competes with anyone in the training room? He just ducked Jokic in another DNP this season. That's what 7 matches in a row now? Compete and Embiid just don't belong in the same sentence the way you want it to.

Only NBA player Embidd competes with is Zion with how many rest days and non back to backs they play. Nobody would trade for Embidd. What a terrible bloated contract he only plays in half his games.

The comparison was to say Davis and Embiid are always in the training room. Not sure how that went over your head? lol

That must be your alt account. Haven’t seen you around until know. You dudes are weird. Probably socially awkward as all hell in the real world.

[Phoenix]

As an aside, reportedly this is the first time two all-NBA players(I'm taking that to mean as of the most recently concluded season) have been traded mid-season. Which is an amazing fact if true, and really hammers home the point that this is very much a historic trade.

It's amazing for Lakers fans long term. Terrible for the Bron stans this year.

But I made the same post. As currently structured, Lakers are trash now since they would easily be one of the worst defensive and rebounding teams in the league with huge redundancy of offense since Lebron/Reaves already had the offense under control and now Luka takes that up.

Yeah and the 2nd unit with Bron was struggling to hold leads as is, and how long is gonna take for Luka to get back to where he was last year? Lakers are in a good position seeding-wise right now but they're probably gonna lose some games here until they figure this thing out. I have to imagine we're getting another trade here before the deadline to make this Bron-Doncic combo work.

Can you imagine criticizing Luka's playoff track record as an EMBIID fan





Bring up the bubble all you want, but this is genuinely a more impressive performance than Embiid's ever had in the playoffs, and he did it at 21.

Gobb has proven to be out of touch with today's league time and time again.
