Woah! I definitely did not expect to see this when I woke up this morning. What a way to start the 2025 trade deadline rush! I thought Luka was going to retire in Dallas. Man, this is some crazy news.

And trading him for AD?
Now, the Mavs are Kyrie and a bunch of centers, while the Lakers are two awesome point-forwards who don't play defense.

Some context. Sounds like Mavs don't want to commit to a super max on Luka for 5 years because they think he doesn't play defense and he gets fat. Let's see how this plays out. Maybe it will become the motivation that pushes Luka to play defense and stay fit.

Why didn't they shop him around, though?
Someone would have thrown a dozen 1st's at the Mavs for Luka.

I agree they should have shopped around. Maybe they did shop around and we just don't know about it. Maybe the other teams either don't want to trade their franchise player or are unable/unwilling to give the Mavs what they asked for. But 1 first round pick for Luka is quite preposterous.

I can't imagine they were shopping Luka without it leaking to the media. What I'm hearing this morning is that Dallas basically went straight to the Lakers (not even the other way around!) and asked if they were interested in Luka.
Maybe they know that Luka's about to retire and this is a major F-you to the Lakers. I really can't make sense of this.
Raptors would have offered a bunch of first round picks and Dick. It would be forever known as the Dick pick trade. Haha.

Now that you've put that into the universe, it's bound to happen.
Maybe it'll be Dick picks for Zion.
Most interesting thing to happen in the nba for a bit. Needed something to boast the ratings

I like this trade for the Lakers.
