The only logical conclusion given what's occurred thus far with each team and player is that the Lakers win the title this year and Luka is series MVP.

And in the offseason AD has a piano fall on him or contracts Lyme disease. Probably both.

That’s what baffles me.  Nico knew he was a little soft, but didn’t he know he was generationally talented?  Luka is uniquely talented.  I didn’t appreciate how good he was until he was a Laker and I was watching him every night.  We’ve had our share of great players.  He’s going to be up there with the best of the Lakers: Magic, Kareem, Kobe, Shaq, West, Baylor, and now Luka?  You all should hang Nico.  That was a criminal trade.

edit: oh sorry forgot to include LBJ, maybe the best of them all.

I was browsing the Lakers boards and they are really lamenting the loss of AD. There are all kinds of threads about how they miss him and got the wrong end of the stick. A month later, the media can’t stop talking about AD and how bad the trade was for the Lakers.

He’s one of the few non-Lakers I would watch when I had time before he was traded. He plays the game with the joy a kid has for it. Kinda like Magic back in the Showtime days except he can shoot. The NBA has very, very few guys in any given generation that can carry a team to a title. Steph has been one, LeBron was that guy when he was younger and so was Dirk at the height of his powers among others. If Wemby stays relatively healthy he is one as well. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out Doncic is one of those guys after the run last season.
 

Nico is still an all-time on the moron GM list for this trade. Unless he was explicitly told to trade Luka or lose his job by that oompa loompa Dumont he should never get a job in the NBA ever again.

Buyouts are much harder now. You can’t do it if you are a 2nd apron team and 1st apron teams have to consider the old salary and the mid-level exception.

He reminds me of that Weathersby preacher guy for Texans.

Nico is probably going to get Adam Silver's job when he decides to hang it up.

I posted this in the Mavs thread, but this still doesn't let Nico off the hook for me. He should have just resigned if this was forced upon him or, at the very least, got a much better deal.

i follow a lot of sports, and there’s isn’t another sport on the planet with all of this “second apron”, “bird rights”, “luxury tax” and other financial nonsense convoluting the moving or signing of players.

The NFL is convoluted as well.

Rich white people making complex systems so they don’t pay the “help” their value.

Doncid 22/12/12.  Bron being out is going to be interesting.  Will see how Redick does when Luka gets doubled constantly.

8-26 shooting and didn't help that Reaves was 3-14 for 17 points with 11 coming from FTs.

Being at the Lakers game probably a better call than watching UCLA right now.

Yeah they gave up 146 to the Bulls.

Strong effort LA. 

Bronny was able to miss 4 shots in 7 minutes of garbage time. 

Seemed like the bulls just couldn’t miss.

Yep this was raw for him...he didn't want to leave. He may want to win all the games in LA but his heart isn't there, you can still tell.

This isn’t the worst trade in nba history. 

This isn’t the worst trade in sports history. 

This is the worst business decision in business history.

Nope, this is worse, by a ton. Most business decisions involve some form of speculation about the future and getting it wrong happens quite often. Having an established generational top 3 player who just took you to the finals and was beloved by the fanbase and trading him for peanuts involves no speculation. If they had gotten a ton of draft picks in return at least there's some business decisions being made but they didn't get shit in return. The equivalent would be if Netflix today sold it's business to Amazon in exchange for some office furniture.

Man, what a kick to the nuts for the Mavs fans and Luka to have to sit there and watch that knowing what the franchise did to them and him.

Just devastating. I've never lived in the same place for long, and the only two times that I've lived within an hour or so of a professional sports city, their teams up and moved (Sonics and Chargers), so I'm fortunate enough to feel no real attachment or loyalty towards any pro sports team. I cannot imagine being a true Dallas sports fan today. I'd up and quit and never think about the Mavs again. But I realize that that's not how sports works.
