Luka Doncic traded to Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and 2029 1st in 3 team deal with Jazz [Feb 9-Mar 23: Anthony Davis missed 6 weeks]

Yes way this happened with out Lebron signing off on it. You absolutely take the gift of the #2 player in the league regardless of anything else.

Don't act like this was a "business as usual" move for the Lakers. Under normal circumstances, this move doesn't happen without LeBron's blessing but it looks like the Lakers organization finally grew a backbone and did what's best for the franchise.

Now the Dallas GM smearing him saying he's overweight, etc.

I don't like how people are comparing his weight issues to "current day Zion". For all of Zion's faults, he looks to be in much better shape nowadays.

Who said that? This is 100% about Dallas being dumb and not opening the market to get a king's ransom. If the nuggests call anyone on the DL and say give me chocolate and ill give you The Joker you dont ask anyone for approval, you sign.

Damn. It's that bad...

I am late to comment but this is absolutely crazy. There HAS to be something behind the scenes going on with this.

AD literally gets injured in his first Mavs game. This was the most blatant disgusting LA catered trade in NBA history. Mavs are my team equal to Pels (since Pels weren’t around for awhile), we all 100% expected Luka to follow Dirks career as Mav for life. It’s been heartbreak and denial since the trade went down. Now AD double screws me as Pels fan and season ticket holder to 7 yrs later screwing my Mavs as well.

I’m done with the NBA. It’s a WWE facade at this point

Sounds like AD will be out for several weeks. Whould’ve thunk it?

Yeah, while I don't understand the threats being made to Nico Harrison, I don't know how he still has a job.

I think in time Max Christie will be the real star that Dallas got in that trade, because AD is entering into the time of his life where the injuries will only continue to mount.

Larry Bird was famous for beer drinking as well. Boston should have traded him I guess.

the Lakers will use Reeves to get front court help. I imagine Reeves and $30m is enough to get them a solid big.

Let's not be disrespecting Austin Reaves, calling him a trade piece. He's a rising star, the Lakers' 3rd best player, and he aint goin' nowhere.

While the Lakers will get a bigger name big in the offseason, Jaxson Hayes is wrecking shop, and easily playing his best career ball with the insane floor spacing the Lakers have now.

I don't think Lebron and AD had a falling out. AD's friend Nico and the carpetbagger Vegas hag who now owns the team didn't want to pay Luka, and here we are. They mega-screwed their fan base, much like the Jazz and Pistol Pete being taken to Utah back the day. The name Utah Jazz still makes me puke. AD was great in LA, but they couldn't compete with the top teams in the West, now they likely can.

Jaxson Hayes has scored more than 10 points in a game only twice in the last 20 games and only has more than 10 rebounds once in that span. I hardly consider that wrecking shop
