    This trade was totally about not paying Luka that $350 million, There is no way any GM should trade a Luka for the most injury prone guy next to Joel Embid in the NBA.

    They're pretty tough on defense with long, big players in their frontcourt.

    Mavs fans already got the full Anthony Davis experience just after 1 game. Plays great and looks dominant for a few quarters. Then gets injured and is now out for at least multiple weeks.

    Just the Rockets luck to lose a game against AD before he falls into shambles.

    This is the first step in the NBA payback plan. Dallas headed to lottery where they and SA will be handed pick one and two. I’m not sure what is more important to Silver. Building France’s team or rewarding Dallas for saving the Lakers.

    It's karma. The Mavs will wind up sacrificing way more wins for that one victory over the Rockets and struggle just to make the play-in. And in a few years, that 2029 pick is gonna look very nice for us.

    if Dallas ends up in the lottery and they get the first pick, you know the league is rigged. The NBA would be handing them the first pick because the Mavs did the league a solid and sent Luka to their golden franchise.

    Of course the only game where the Mavs were relatively healthy was against us. SMH.

    Apparently "surgery is not ruled out", assuming if he opts for surgery that will end his season. You see deals like this and think maybe you are over reacting and there is something we do not know, but it turns out this was as obvious as it seemed. They will get their #1 overall pick when the time is right.

    ironically, cuban gets his karma for hiring nico -- and not firing him after brunson debacle

    hearing him speak is like a 6th grader who forgot his homework

    by far the worst trade in nba history in addition to being a huge betrayal. not just to fans, but too many inside the organization . i was born in dallas and can say this isnt one where things will go away after a few months. Worse yet, he was sent to LA. Every thing Luka will be in your face and highlighted nationally for the next decade. Ain't gonna be no escapin!
