The strange part is they never even opened this up to the other 29 teams .

So there is a lot more going on besides Dallas not wanting to give him a super max .

They are doing this for the NBA in return for some kind of favor .

The Dallas ownership is heavy in the sports betting scene and Texas does not have legal sports betting .

Is this a way to get sports betting in Texas somehow ?

Maybe this trade puts the mavs in good graces with the league and they would approve a move to Vegas if Texas does not approve casinos and sports betting ?

There has to be a lot more to this then just not wanting to give a super max to Luca .

And even if Luca is a dick . This still is not a reason not to open the trade market to the over 29 teams and get max value .

They wanted Luca in LA for a reason

lol ok....

Whatever you say boss.
25 year old generational player for aging player who is szh injury prone than him

Led the league in minutes but has a “conditioning problem” . Team was rated 8th in defense with him out there too

averages over 30 Ppg in the playoffs

Could’ve gotten a lot more for him too

No real justification for it tbh. Lakers gonna be set for a while without having to do much

Kind of my thought

NBA did need something like this

It feels fishy since there’s not much basketball rationale for it

I’d wanna see the final team after trade deadline, but not even sure I like Mavs chances to make the playoffs this year after the deal. They will have to battle in the west.

The team was really built around Luka, a lot of their roleplayers don’t fit as well I don’t think.

Dude makes some pretty legit points that the MSM NBA talking heads dont dare touch.

Also why it makes sense that the trade doesnt make sense.......
