Weight is an excuse for the Mavs. AD has as much of more health issues than Luka. Who cares what his weight is if he’s an MVP contender. AD is not an equal value for Luka.
It’s bigger than that, it’s basically league rigging to make up rating loss and they well compensate Mark Cuban by buying Mavs last season and gave him a portion of Vegas Gambling tycoon seat
Bro I knew I wasn't the only one. I saw this trade the second I woke up, thinking my brain was still jumbled and I misread something. I've been in disbelief all morning 😂
There has to be something more going on to the story. It’s so insane, that arguments about ratings conspiracies start to become believable. The next MVP candidate somehow ends up on the most popular franchise? Or am I just really underestimating the stupidity of people in management? This hurts my brain
It's easy to attribute incompetence for malice but it's important not to. If Dallas doesn't win a championship in the next 2-3 years this trade is easily the worst in NBA history. If Luka ends up as a European Zion Williamson (based on his weight and conditioning concerns I've read about) then the Mavs got themselves out of a New Orleans Pelicans situation. It's still absurd to just trade him away but I can at least understand the sentiment of wanting this trade, even if it is extremely short sighted.
Pablo Sandoval ring a bell? Luka says the exact same things about his weight that Sandoval said. “I’m not far, I don’t need to diet” Jayson Tatum wasn’t huffing a puffing like Luka was in the Finals. Think that has to do with weight?
The weird part is they didn't "fumble" Luka, they literally gave him away. If they were unsuccessful and didn't get any supporting pieces to lead him asking out, it would've been a fumble. No, they straight up gave him away for peanuts compared to what they could've gotten if any other team knew he was available.
@@LL-si9cl ???? 1 draft pick and 31 yo AD for PRIME 25 yo Generational talent.... yea that is giving him away for free. AD was worse than Luka when he got traded and the lakers had to give up Ingram, Ball, & hart on top of 3 first rounders for him... one being the 4th overall pick. you are on CRACK if you think the deal Dallas got for Luka was good. Literally any team in the league would give up their best player + a shit ton of picks for Luka, dead ass outside of San Antonio there are very few if any teams that would not give up whatever they have to for a player like that
Soon as Luka retires he'll go back to Europe and we'll probably see him occasionally. Dirk adapted to life in America over the years but guys like Luka and Jokic seem like living here is just an extended business trip @@Physics_Dude
He probably has hit his peak as far as individual production goes, but then so do pretty much all great players by their 6th-7th seasons. This notion that players don't hit their primes until they're 28-32 just isn't true and hasn't been since the days when everyone was playing 3-4 years of college and coming into the league at 22 or so years old.
I don't care if Luka was literally smoking crack using a damn churro - you do NOT trade a generational talent like him for an aging AD and some bag of chips and not even entertaining it with 28 other teams and basically deal straight with the Lakers and JUST the Lakers? This shit has collusion written all over it and you can't convince me otherwise.
@@xgamewinner LeBron and Nico Harrison worked together when Nico was at Nike. also, IF you want to go to Vegas you better have a attraction like Luka YOURSELF!

When AD was the cornerstone of the franchise at 25…he did nothing…mf was out the first round at best. And he wasn’t even top 3 in MVP voting for those yrs either so…
Mavericks just activated a Doomsday clock by trading their young generational talent for an aging star. Don’t get me wrong, Ad is a great player; and paired with Kyrie, that sounds great on paper. But what is that duo going to look like even 2 or 3 years from now? Ad’s knees aren’t getting better and neither are Kyrie’s. Luka has a good 12 years left in his career, maybe more since his game really doesn’t rely on athleticism. Something must have happened behind the scenes to have prompted this, because the mavs’ gm must know this. On a separate note, add Luka to the list of help Lebron has had in his career 😂
Trading Luka is crazy but no player is untouchable, BUT, to only get 1 aging star and 1 first round pick for a 25yo super star player is absolutely stupid. How they didn’t get every pick the lakers had available is insane.
Mavericks ownership just showing they don't understand the sport, in the NBA players GET PAYED , they will likely never end up with another player like Luka. As many stars who get the Max. Luka Deserves every dollar available to him. Luka is likely the most valuable asset in the league, in terms of talent and ability paired with youth. That weight defense talk is just an excuse , unless it's something behind the scenes we are missing this is awful front office work and they didn't get Reaves or both of the Lakers first round picks
Your body fails you if you don’t take care of it. When you’re young, it’s different. You can abuse it and be fine. As you age, you need to start taking care of it. Learning that myself right now lol

"Charlotte Hornets, I was 'bout to make a video about how crazy your damn franchise is, and I still will . . ." 🤣 Thanks for having the chaotic energy that we're all feeling right now: what. a. trade.
Dude, the missing puzzle piece here is that AD is close personally with Harrison and Kidd. That’s why is why the Mavs only reached out to the Lakers. Now they can all watch the Mavs games together on the sidelines.
This is some crooked BS The League Office wanted to set the Lakers up with a superstar for the next decade. If they wanted to trade Luka, why not shop him on the open market? BECAUSE ADAM SILVER WANTS LUKA ON A MARQUEE FRANCHISE
Luka's dedication and preparation is not that of a max player. Mavs can get more for him now than getting nothing when leaving free agency. This trade will age well for the Mavs.
Thanks, you put into words exactly how I feel. Except the part where I hate the Lakers, which adds a lot of sting to this trade. Not a mavs fan either - but this is a ridiculous trade! The Lakers first won't even be good now as well... SMH!!!
If Dallas don’t win a chip this year and they won’t, the GM got to go. Nico gots to go. This is such a bad business move. I’m surprised MC green lighted this…🤷🏽♂️
Thank you! I was listening to the media talking about how the ‘weight’ issues are somehow a big deal. Luka went to the Finals! What are we talking about
This is an Adam Silver's scheme.You got a Top 5 player/Mvp candidate carrying is team on one leg to Finals BUT he is playing in a underdog team what a better way to boost ratings
It's definitely a super interesting trade. Personally I think it's ownership not wanting to commit $325 - $350 million to Luka for the next x amount of years. Lot of basketball on those legs + it's no secret that he hasn't always been the best at taking care of his body. I understand the move for AD if the Mavs had no appetite whatsoever to turn this into a bidding war. Realistically speaking the other top dogs in the West or the East probably aren't about to blow up their teams to trade their star for Luka. It's a poor fit in OKC (Shai needs the ball in his hands). Rockets would have to gut their young core. Grizzlies would have to give up Ja or JJJ. Nuggets could definitely use him but they don't have the pieces or draft capital, nor does it make sense to bring in a neutral/net negative defender to pair beside Jokic. Clippers don't have the pieces unless they move Kawhi and that doesn't really solve anything for Dallas. Timberwolves would have to give up Edwards, which would leave them in a similar position. I get it to an extent and lowkey agree with it. AD was realistically the best player they could get without turning things into a public bidding war. Definitely sucks for Mavs fans, AD is a nice piece but he's not the generational talent that Luka is. I think the Mavs will be alright in the short term. Long term though, this is a signal. If they're not going to pay Luka, then they certainly ain't gonna pay you big money for a long term deal. I don't subscribe to the conspiracy theories that they're moving to Vegas but...stranger things have happened.
Im pretty sure if the mavs were not stupid.. a lot of other teams can make bigger offer inexchange for luka.. cmon.. teams will blow their entire roster just to get a luka type of player.. If they traded Luka for Ad and reaves ill still call them stupid.. but what they lost on luka vs what they get in return is just next level incompetence for the front office
@@clipsidevids Which teams though? Which contending team would be willing to blow up their core for Luka? Because it needs to make sense from a roster construction standpoint and a championship contending standpoint. Like I mentioned, the teams above the Mavs aren't about to trade away their stars just to get him because that won't make them better. It's a different NBA now, depth really matters. But I don't disagree with you, it's like they wanted AD and AD only. Like they PAID to get rid of Luka, and that right there doesn't make much sense to me.
@@clipsidevids Mavs didn't want a bidding war. It sounds like everyone didn't know this was going down (doubt it, I'm sure Lebron knew). If the news got out, no way the trade happens.
Especially because Luka doncic and Kyrie Irving made it and lead the Mavs to the finals last year overall and does get the opportunity to run it back and entering Christmas the mavs had a 19-10 record as well which is insane then Luka doncic unfortunately got injured.🏀
There has to be another trade following this one because as you said it doesn't make any sense. It's either Lebron being asked to drop his no-trade-clause or Luka gets dealt again for a ton of picks and an expiring contract. VanFleet's contract would match and it has a team option this summer plus the Rockets got a ton of their own first round pick. The Rockets would advance to win-now-mode with Luka and the Lakers get picks to maybe trade up for Cooper Flag? Just a thought
Just remember after Dallas won the championship with Nowitzky the following season they let go everyone except him. So it's not in Mavericks DNA to do crazy trade like this.
Not only did they lost this trade.. but they also lost luka for so much less.. there are so many teams out there that can offer more in exchange for a luka doncic... Hell if the lakers trade Ad and reaves I would still say that the mavs is still stupid... but trading luka just for ad?? thats all the best you can get for a luka ??? reallly mavs??
Born and raised in Dallas and have always been a diehard maverick fan. But after this stupid ass trade I’m done with them I’m just gonna be a Luka fan. Heartbroken.😢
To me the only way this ends up not being a terrible trade for Dallas is if Luka just continues to suffer injuries and never really recovers. That's a heck of a thing to bet on.

Maybe the Lakers slid some under the-table cash to Dallas GM, Nico Harrison?
Never heard Swishout THIS mad before until just now, I was shocked too when I first saw the news.
There must have something explosive happened between him and front office! This trade came out of nowhere 😮
Aye this was like a prime SAS rant lmaoo this video was better than I hoped for
My thoughts on this trade
th-cam.com/video/Hzk936Lwaz8/w-d-xo.html
Dallas fans you can blame Michael Finley for this trade. Remember what he did. It was a little thing. But it was something
Explain please
"Grandpa, how much did Adam Silver not want the Celtics to be the team with the most championships in the NBA?"
"Alright, man."
Yea me too, bro.
Quickest “alright man” you know it’s gonna be good
Been waiting for swish opinion since midnight last night
Dawg i was drunk asl last night and seeing the trade sobered me up
Mavs gm boutta have bounty for his head in dallas lol
no backing track 😂😂😂😂😂
"Charlotte Hornets, I was 'bout to make a video about how crazy your damn franchise is, and I still will . . ." 🤣
Thanks for having the chaotic energy that we're all feeling right now: what. a. trade.
The man I’ve been waiting on 🙌🏾
This news has had the NBA in a stranglehold all day 😂
Dude, the missing puzzle piece here is that AD is close personally with Harrison and Kidd. That’s why is why the Mavs only reached out to the Lakers. Now they can all watch the Mavs games together on the sidelines.
I hope the nba veto this trade. The gms are definitely doing shady stuff.
Mavs either know something we don’t or plain stupid
This is some crooked BS
The League Office wanted to set the Lakers up with a superstar for the next decade.
If they wanted to trade Luka, why not shop him on the open market? BECAUSE ADAM SILVER WANTS LUKA ON A MARQUEE FRANCHISE
Luka's dedication and preparation is not that of a max player. Mavs can get more for him now than getting nothing when leaving free agency. This trade will age well for the Mavs.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
If u believe that so much why only lakers? Throw him in trading block and at least make the teams do bidding war cus u believe mavs can get more
“He broke Paul George” got a laugh outta me 😂
Thanks, you put into words exactly how I feel. Except the part where I hate the Lakers, which adds a lot of sting to this trade. Not a mavs fan either - but this is a ridiculous trade! The Lakers first won't even be good now as well... SMH!!!
It’s for Bron to win another championship
If Dallas don’t win a chip this year and they won’t, the GM got to go.
Nico gots to go. This is such a bad business move. I’m surprised MC green lighted this…🤷🏽♂️
Thank you! I was listening to the media talking about how the ‘weight’ issues are somehow a big deal. Luka went to the Finals! What are we talking about
This is an Adam Silver's scheme.You got a Top 5 player/Mvp candidate carrying is team on one leg to Finals BUT he is playing in a underdog team what a better way to boost ratings
I seen this break at midnight bro and it was insane , I woke up and didn’t go back to slewp
THE 'ALRIGHT MAN' IS BACK!!!💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's definitely a super interesting trade. Personally I think it's ownership not wanting to commit $325 - $350 million to Luka for the next x amount of years. Lot of basketball on those legs + it's no secret that he hasn't always been the best at taking care of his body. I understand the move for AD if the Mavs had no appetite whatsoever to turn this into a bidding war. Realistically speaking the other top dogs in the West or the East probably aren't about to blow up their teams to trade their star for Luka. It's a poor fit in OKC (Shai needs the ball in his hands). Rockets would have to gut their young core. Grizzlies would have to give up Ja or JJJ. Nuggets could definitely use him but they don't have the pieces or draft capital, nor does it make sense to bring in a neutral/net negative defender to pair beside Jokic. Clippers don't have the pieces unless they move Kawhi and that doesn't really solve anything for Dallas. Timberwolves would have to give up Edwards, which would leave them in a similar position.
I get it to an extent and lowkey agree with it. AD was realistically the best player they could get without turning things into a public bidding war. Definitely sucks for Mavs fans, AD is a nice piece but he's not the generational talent that Luka is. I think the Mavs will be alright in the short term. Long term though, this is a signal. If they're not going to pay Luka, then they certainly ain't gonna pay you big money for a long term deal. I don't subscribe to the conspiracy theories that they're moving to Vegas but...stranger things have happened.
Im pretty sure if the mavs were not stupid.. a lot of other teams can make bigger offer inexchange for luka.. cmon.. teams will blow their entire roster just to get a luka type of player..
If they traded Luka for Ad and reaves ill still call them stupid.. but what they lost on luka vs what they get in return is just next level incompetence for the front office
@@clipsidevids Which teams though? Which contending team would be willing to blow up their core for Luka? Because it needs to make sense from a roster construction standpoint and a championship contending standpoint. Like I mentioned, the teams above the Mavs aren't about to trade away their stars just to get him because that won't make them better. It's a different NBA now, depth really matters.
But I don't disagree with you, it's like they wanted AD and AD only. Like they PAID to get rid of Luka, and that right there doesn't make much sense to me.
Ot atleast ill scout around the league for great offers..
@@clipsidevids Mavs didn't want a bidding war. It sounds like everyone didn't know this was going down (doubt it, I'm sure Lebron knew). If the news got out, no way the trade happens.
You know it’s a serious video when swish doesn’t add any background music 😆 🙃
What a time to be alive and witness this crazy trade 🤣
We do need to no more about definitely agree with there swish out hopefully you do a deep intel on it in your next video.🏀💯
I havent watched a full NBA game in five years and this news has me all over NBA news lmao
Friend said this had happened and I immediately thought it was more crazy rumors that people come up with, ain't no way they pulled this off
Especially because Luka doncic and Kyrie Irving made it and lead the Mavs to the finals last year overall and does get the opportunity to run it back and entering Christmas the mavs had a 19-10 record as well which is insane then Luka doncic unfortunately got injured.🏀
There has to be another trade following this one because as you said it doesn't make any sense.
It's either Lebron being asked to drop his no-trade-clause or Luka gets dealt again for a ton of picks and an expiring contract. VanFleet's contract would match and it has a team option this summer plus the Rockets got a ton of their own first round pick. The Rockets would advance to win-now-mode with Luka and the Lakers get picks to maybe trade up for Cooper Flag? Just a thought
Bro is the bill o Brian of the nba
Just remember after Dallas won the championship with Nowitzky the following season they let go everyone except him. So it's not in Mavericks DNA to do crazy trade like this.
As a heat fan everyone can forget about oat Riley now 😂
We better go get fox or something, pat Riley sitting on his ass
Not only did they lost this trade.. but they also lost luka for so much less.. there are so many teams out there that can offer more in exchange for a luka doncic...
Hell if the lakers trade Ad and reaves I would still say that the mavs is still stupid... but trading luka just for ad?? thats all the best you can get for a luka ??? reallly mavs??
actually short term for upcoming 2-4 years Mavericks looks like a powerhouse. If AD wont get injured for sure they will reach finals again
Born and raised in Dallas and have always been a diehard maverick fan. But after this stupid ass trade I’m done with them I’m just gonna be a Luka fan. Heartbroken.😢
To me the only way this ends up not being a terrible trade for Dallas is if Luka just continues to suffer injuries and never really recovers. That's a heck of a thing to bet on.
