It doesn't sound like they "pulled" this trade off. It sounds more like it fell into their laps when the Mavericks approached them with it -- and they were simply smart enough to say "yes!".
Then you haven't been listening. The price is what they pulled off, keeping it secret and not having it derailed by the league or parties involved is what they pulled off.
Shams goes off talking an essay to say nothing. He gives you what you need in the first 10 seconds of an answer, then tries to talk for another 4 minutes because it’s what they do on the other ESPN shows to avoid dead air.
@@TommythademonI mean, yeah. It’s their show and they’ve got other stuff to get to. They can’t have this goober babbling for an hour. They gotta babble for an hour
@ it’s just business. You are watching WWE wrestling with a ball. The NBA needs Luka in LA. It’s about money, ratings and markets. This has nothing to do with competitive teams trying to get better. Do you really believe that? Do you really believe the Mavericks would trade Luka for eyebrow? You think that’s real? Come on man! Luka for who? Jokic? Gianni? The trade isn’t even allowed on 2K. NBA heavily manipulated. It has to be. It’s a business. Luka for 31 year old eyebrow? AD gonna win the ship? Luka got the Mavs to the finals last year bruised. How sway?
They just didn't wanna pay him the money. Now the Lakers don't have to pay as much and will end up having him longer. Those two gms must have an off the camera love 😭😭😭
Nico Harrison really traded away the guy that got them to the Finals, in his prime, and said it was because they're trying to win now...can't even fathom being that dumb
@@ftws41 I don't know why you're being such an asshole but since you wanted to be a prick I'd love to point out that literally every single NBA trade is a business transaction lmao
The problem isn't that they traded Luka. It's the return they got for Luka. They should've at least gotten the other Lakers first round pick and Knecht or Reaves. They could've shopped around Luka and gotten a better return imo.
This is the Mavericks new owners realizing they are not gonna get gambling legal in Texas. Because of this, they did not want to pay Luka that much money. They really want to move the team to Vegas and this is their first step.
I don't think any team is moving. If anything they will expand to Seattle and Vegas. Qnd maybe a couple other areas depending if they want 32 or more teams. I remember the league denying the Sacramento Kings a move so no clue why they would let Dallas walk.
The good thing is Dallas is like the 4th or 5th biggest market in the country and all major sports leagues are there, so it would be a tough sell to move basketball from DFW.
It sounds like Nico wanted AD, bad. For the past few years, it’s the guy he felt would really help them compete. And the last couple years he’s been more healthy even starting this year as an MVP type player. These guys are friends that probably meet often for coffee and it was probably floated “Hey AD is looking good, you know I still want him in Dallas.” & Pelinka probably told him something on the lines of, “Look, unless you trying to give up Luka, AD is pretty much off the table.” And it grew from there. After, Mark Cuban sold majority stake, the writings were on the wall. New owners really don’t want to spend money like that. So it was really just a perfect storm.
2 Players have a 30+ points per game playoff average. MJ and Luka, that's it. An out of shape person be out of gas in playoffs. Pundits underestimating the loss of Luka to Mavs chemistry. I think Kyrie liked his role on Mavs not having to be the face. Remember Kyries last few years before coming to Dallas. Harrison is the man from Nike who lost Curry because he didn't know who he was.
even if this trade wins the Mavericks a championship this year, it was the wrong move. It'll cost the city of Dallas billions of dollars and multiple championships
I love the trade for the simply fact NBA players have become entirely too coddle. Only in the NBA does a player like Jimmy Butler get to basically destroy THREE locker rooms simply because the team isn’t doing exactly what he wants exactly when he wants it. Luka, Zion, James Harden in Houston, Paul George, Joel Embiid, Kawhi, the list goes on man dudes are making 30-40-50-60-70 million dollars per year & got the nerve to be offended at a GM telling them to get in shape or play defense better. Luka is a good player but at the same time he doesn’t have winning intangibles, doesn’t have a winning mindset & he’s shown Dallas that he doesn’t respect them enough to workout harder so wtf you want them to do just accept him coming to camp every year out of shape accept him not changing his attitude? The GM/Team should just coddle Lukas feelings and let him do whatever because he scores a lot of meaningless points? Luka got too comfortable and more NBA players need this message that anybody is expendable play hard or gtfo
Mentioning stars who aren’t elite defenders is the laziest take in basketball. It’s the easiest way to tell me you don’t know the game. People use this as a device to denounce players. Realistically only about 30% of players even try on defense. But game on the line? People hunker down. Last years DPOY got obliterated by this dude in the WCF. They literally attacked the DPOY disrespectfully.
They need an NBA guy on who doesn’t have all the connections and relationships in the league to worry about like Shams does. They’re asking an insider questions you ask an analyst. Just please god not Kendrick Perkins.
It was an inside job! The Mavs GM has recently come out saying he doesn’t want to be here long term. He’s gonna quit and join the league office. This isn’t a conspiracy that’s what actually happened!
I just don’t buy the “decade” plus thing as Luka’s team. There is no guarantee he decides to stay in LA. This is a big gamble for them as well, Luka could hate it there and walk into FA to have other teams fall over him to get his signature. They have what, one season to show him he should stay?
It landed in their lap. Lakers GM even thought the Mavs GM was joking. The League is actually really pissed at the mavs for not putting this trade out on the street for competition.
What people need to understand healthwise is what you can get away with at 25. You can’t get away with at 30. I like this trade for Dallas. With AD moving to forward, that that’s going to be a solid five, although I have never been a big fan of Kyrie…
What does weight have to do with the league nowadays? With the game being nothing but 3 pointers, they could all have Charles Barkley’s current physique and still drop 130 points a night
Let’s have the refs come out and talk after the games and answer questions too. Let’s see them make calls when they actually have to talk. They still will but ya know entertainment
Remember that time the nba blocked a trade for Chris Paul going to (I think) golden state from New Orleans because it would un balance the league. Yeah.. crazy times.
The chance this works out for the Mavs is much closer to zero than one percent. If the goal is to just make money, L even with a chip. If the goal is to win, luka is the reason they were in the finals. AD as a robin to LBJ has been in the play in more often than the finals. Good luck Dallas 😂
AD is top 5 on offense AND defense. As a win now team, Dallas made a good move for their immediate future. Long term, maybe not, but everyone is acting like the trade is a joke, which is CRAZY. AD is one of the best on both sides and as a Lakers fan, I'm worried for the short term. Long time I'm good, short term, VERY worried
The whole thing is very fishy to me honestly. If they really wanted to trade Luka than why the hell didnt they shop him? They could have gotten A LOT more than what they did for him. Something doesnt smell right
Nah. This isn't the greatest trade in NBA history. It's the greatest collusion job in history from a guy who served the Lakers their next superstar on a silver platter. And the Lakers didn't even have to do anything significant to secure Dallas' future after Luka. A backroom deal to screw the Mavs for Nico Harrison's personal gain, whatever it is he's after. And he alienated Luka to get there. Possibly for the Adelsons' personal gain, too. If it was public knowledge Luka was on the trading block, there were teams willing to mortgage their next few Drafts and a key player or two to have a superstar about to hit his prime ready to go now.
Mavs just being cheap and didn’t wanna pay Luka. When Steph played Bron in the finals they were picking on him on defense but no one cared because it’s Steph!
Luka has 3-4 great more years in him. The mavs know something. And with kyrie and Davis they have a better chance of winning now. I don’t see how this is good for the lakers other than selling merch and selling tickets. Lakers aren’t winning with Luka
They literally couldve gotten any player in the league for Luka but they ger an older AD. Why? Something this stupid has got be the new owners who bought out Cuban. Or was it Cuban ???
I'm amazed that people don't know that the NBA is a business and this trade was a business deal. The NBA ratings are falling and they need big market teams to win. Lebron isn't able to bring the Lakers to the Finals stage anymore no matter how much the NBA manipulates the games. I'm not able to watch it anymore.
It’s absolutely hilarious how the media went from hyping AD up & the lakers being HIS TEAM THIS YEAR to now he’s getting traded to Dallas and everybody just like “Eh AD’s always hurt” even though he’s played more games than Luka the last two/three seasons 💀💀💀💀
Well - anything lakers needs to get proped up lol . The funny part is - now the Mavs have a team of robins . No Batman . Kyrie win with the NbAs All time leading scorer in lebron James . And went back to the finals with luka , who’s now with lebron hilariously enough , Klay Thompson went and won the finals with Steph curry - the greatest shooter to ever grace the court in history , and Anthony Davis won a chip next to an older lebron sure , but still lebron James . This should be good . 😂
There is a good theory on x about the owners of the Mavs and the gambling angle in Texas. Look it up. The NBA always uses the overweight angle when they want to control the narrative look at what they said about James Harden
Anyone that follows the Mavs knows this has nothing to do with basketball and everything to do with the Mavs owners Vegas companies. Frees up their books by +$250mil all while sending the most entertaining player to the biggest market. MFFL but can't support this league anymore, too much about sports betting nowadays.
Either ; A.) Nico is on the Diddy tapes, & Rob knows it B.) Luka is pro-Palestinian C.) Owners are actually corrupt I don’t think there is any other answer
Mavs new Owners don't care about basketball. They have been trying to get gambling and casino in Dallas, It didn't pass. So now they need to de-value the franchise and anger fans, so they can move to Vegas.

Like others have said, it is what they gave up for Luka that is genius here. Anybody with half a brain cell knows that wasnt the initial offer lol 😅

Luka starting his revenge arc
Whats the Over/Under,,,,,On Chubby,,,,,,,,ERRRR,,,,, I mean Luka,,,,,,290,,,,,Im Takin The OVER!!!! LOL
I can't think of ONE example of where "crazy" has worked out in sports. Not one.
This is the best take on this topic I've heard so far
Giannis definitely looking at LA now
Let the man speak
even if this trade wins the Mavericks a championship this year, it was the wrong move. It'll cost the city of Dallas billions of dollars and multiple championships
But did it though?? I find that hard to believe seeing that the mavs rarely win as an organization
Damn, Pat was kind of an ass in this interview. Very unusual for him.
Luka's defensive numbers might be so impressive if he is being put onto the easiest defensive assignments.
Omg I've never been this early to a video before 😂😂😂

Just stop
I hope some of Lebron's conditioning efforts rubs off on Luka.
the injury thing is wack cus it’s not like Anthony hasn’t misssed a heeeeck of a lot of games from injuries.
Ya know who hasn’t been on the show in a while? Austin Rivers. Let’s all thank the lord for that.
Celtics lakers nba finals would be crazy
In football terms, this is like the Bengals trading Joe Burrow to the Steelers for TJ Watt because they didn't like that they couldn't control Joe.
So basically basically the situation basically basically basics very interesting.
I just don’t buy the “decade” plus thing as Luka’s team. There is no guarantee he decides to stay in LA. This is a big gamble for them as well, Luka could hate it there and walk into FA to have other teams fall over him to get his signature. They have what, one season to show him he should stay?
The Mavs should change their logo and their name to the “ Dallas Robins “ .
It landed in their lap. Lakers GM even thought the Mavs GM was joking.
The League is actually really pissed at the mavs for not putting this trade out on the street for competition.
They’d have vetoed it if they were actually upset
It’s crazy/awesome that a trade in the NBA is more important than who wins the championship lol
Kyrie statistically had the ball in his hands more then Lebron in Cleveland , js
Luka doesn't look 270...This is sus
Bro’s 6’6, that height, that thick is definitely 270.
I really thought that was rob lowe
Where was Connor's paper round!? Helmand!?
The answer is crime.
What people need to understand healthwise is what you can get away with at 25. You can’t get away with at 30. I like this trade for Dallas. With AD moving to forward, that that’s going to be a solid five, although I have never been a big fan of Kyrie…

@@RushISVarietyB giving AD and Keira age, kinda fits the timeline perfectly
@UnknownSource08 works for both teams, depending on what the goals are. Lakers didn't have a realistic shot at the title with AD. So we'll see
Greatest trade in sports? AD was the best player on the team and was carrying lechoke😂
Seems more like Luka had enough of Cuban and the staff.
Luka's father went on tv in his home country and said Luka did not want to leave Dallas. Nobody is reporting that Luka demanded a trade.
I hope Kyrie and AD win a championship this year. Just to see the reactions. Would Mavs fans' heads just explode with the cognitive dissonance?
Over some coffee
The whole thing is very fishy to me honestly. If they really wanted to trade Luka than why the hell didnt they shop him? They could have gotten A LOT more than what they did for him. Something doesnt smell right
Because they are moving mavericks to Vegas in 2031.
They were worried about Luka's conditioning... so they traded for street clothes Davis, makes sense.

Kinda true. New owners have deep ties to Las Vegas. They are moving in 2031.
10:53 it’s exactly this. Out of all players with similar minutes to Luka, Luka has the HIGHEST blow-by rate when he’s the on ball defender.
39% opponent fg isn't that bad. But his pros outweigh his cons by a mile anyway. Train not trade
