Yeah, the Mavs thought about injuries, conditioning, availability and said "let's go get AD". That makes much more sense. Wtf r u even talking about
AD missed 6 games last year lol
AD is the softest big man ever. Demarcus Cousins had more heart. 😂
The Mavs have been competitive without Luka and they just added another defensive big man who can score 20+ a night. We’ve seen AD play at another level when you give him 2 athletic bigs who take the defensive load off him. Short term they won this trade. Long term who knows.
@@kd-zq5oq 1 year and he still got hurt and wasn’t himself.
@@kd-zq5oqAnd that was his first season playing more than 70 games since like 2018.
He literally played 70 games last season while also playing almost 38 minutes a night and lead them to the nba finals wtf is he talking about
Bron has only had one 70+ game season since he left the Cavs to come to the Lakers. I don't think he has a clue what he is talking about. lol
The point is Luka is in his Prime missing to many games. New ownership apparently does not want to pay a Max contract for Minimum work. I don't like the trade, but maybe there will be more to come.
Colin just another hater
@@Murftree74 he’s pretty much saying, his ball dominant one style of play and everything else doesn’t transition into a championship and yes, we all know Luka is a phenomenal superstar box office mega player but it takes a team to win and you watched that last year with Boston. Everyone stepped up and played their role to help them win.
Pretty sure he is just talking about 65 games being his career average. There are 82 games in a season so having a guy who played 70 games in a season 2 times in 7 years is not exactly something to brag about when you are talking about giving a guy over a 350 million contract on the next extension.
Luka getting traded for being fat before Zion is diabolical.
It’s because Zion is fat from eating
Luka likes to drink 😂 it’s a bit different
@@marlonstuart3459 also Dallas got BBQ you can keto that. Zion gotta deal with the gumbo the Jambalaya. He didn’t have a chance
Zion runs the floor and plays defense when he's playing. Also a little younger
Lakers will get him tomorrow.
If they can get AD out of Zion, I’m sure they would’ve done that in a heartbeat. They just can’t. Because no one wants Zion.. for a superstar
The insult to Kareem is wild!!! AD is a Kareem???? Who the fuck would say that!!! I love AD and I respect his talent but these people are jokes talking down on Kareem like he isn't one of the GREATEST of all time. Wild...
It’s almost impressive how bad Colin’s takes can be. The confidence with which he communicates them is almost noble in a way. Like his Justin Herbert takes. To see someone that makes as much as him to provide sports breakdowns be so confidently incorrect in his analysis is interesting to see. I tip my hat
lol saying AD is “like a Kareem” in an off hand way like that is so funny. Like that isn’t the 3rd greatest player of all time lmao
Colin should be ashamed of himself for that comparison. Kareem is in everyone’s GOAT conversation. Kareem was a generational talent. AD is nowhere near Kareem as far as talent goes.
Mavericks were afraid of Luka injuries and they trade for 'Street Clothes AD?' LOL!
True…. But to be fair AD had no injuries last year and has been pretty solid this year
That’s what I call him too Anthony “street clothes” Davis lol
"Luka is my favorite player in the league". - Lebron. Now Lebron gonna have him playing pissed off! My Lakers are now must watch T.V.
Lakers might go back to back. They got bigs already like Jaxson and Maxi but a big that can score they still might get. But JJ is not Darvin Ham he’s going to play a big line up if needed!
@@bigballer6666He is out right now.
The Adelsons worrying about spending $345 million? Please. Bro, if you're not going to give Luka a Max contract, you're in the wrong business.
The Adelsons bought Trump for less than that.
@@jonasgoat9538 A Musk bought a whole President for less than that, I think. They got a Supreme Court for a Winnebago.
they are casino magnates, but they are cheap sometimes.
@@cljerjr31sometimes??? 🤣🤣🤣
Cuban sold he dnt believe in luka
Dallas just traded Batman to the Lakers for Robin. Unclear how trading away the guy that led your team in points, rebounds, assists, and steals en route to the finals helps Dallas "win now."
Colin says dumb stuff …
It doesn’t . Lol .
You gotta play both sides of the ball and always be in shape in this modern NBA. Jokic is arguably the best player in the league, averaging 30, 13, and 10 as a 3X MVP and Champion.
Guess what… despite all that, Denver might still be a second round exit; and Jokic don’t miss games like Luka.
@fatesandgates Jokic quietly 3rd in the league in steals too. Not to say Jokic is a great defender but atleast he gives effort and if he gets beat off the dribble he made his guy work. Luka is an open door
@ And Luka don't miss games like AD. Dallas can have fun watching AD go down every other game having to wonder if it's serious or not.
Colin loves being a contrarian. “I’m smart, you’re not” with every take
And he usually right. Don’t hate
@@NoCryptoForOldMen lol his original takes are wrong like 70% of the time. But when he sees the way the winds are blowing he'll come back with "I was never saying ..."
He literally said he wouldn't make the trade... He said he would need at least AD and three picks and another all star player
Colin is a clown. Dallas was in the finals last year
They all do it. They at least have to ACT as if they know what they are talking about.
Bro definitely got the call from above NOT to talk bad about the trade
Lakers acquired the best guard in the league. Hard to say they lost this trade
Colin worried about injuries with Luka, so let’s trade for Mr. Glass…this was a home run for the Lakers
When was AD last major injury? Lmao
@@ijai2edi97shit about 5 days ago 🤷🏾♂️
@ and yet Luka has missed 27 of the Mavs 49 games (and counting) and AD has missed 5 lol ..
@@kd-zq5oqas a lakers fan… ad will get hit soft and have to sit out jus watch bro it happens for us every year it’s not gone change cause he switched teams
He a bron d1k rider
AD's last full game with the Lakers, he posted 42 pts 23 reb. AD gave us all he had, and real Laker fans appreciate it. We traded for him when he was 26 and he gave us a chip and multiple credible playoff runs in his prime. I expect Luka to step up in the same way.
Luka dropped 73 points effortlessly. Bye bye, AD. Aye, Lebron, your next buddy!!!
@@MiQuelSimmons AD>>>>
A chip a conference finals 2 first round exits and a second round exits one season of over 65 games played. He now soon to be 32 and Luka 25 plays more than AD on average can give Lakers easily a decade of playoff runs or better. Lakers got the steal of all life times
The bubble chip ain't legit
I am not a Dallas or lakers fan..AD could have been MVP this yr…he is the best two way player in the league…he has 3 to 4 yrs.
Pau Gasol was traded 17 years ago to Lakers on February 1, same day.
Pau Gasol was not at Luka's caliber player.
@@JohnSmith-nj4zqthat makes this trade even more ridiculous
Shiiiiid! Paul was probably best post player in the game at the time when post play still mattered. That was a game changer!
It totally was game changer. Lakers gave up Kwame Brown and rights to Marc Gasol for Pau. But it instantly made Lakers contenders. Still remember first game Pau played with lakers, it was on the road at Nets. I remember reporters asking Kobe what it was like playing with Pau afterwards, and he said “It is so much easier!”
@@JohnSmith-nj4zqhe was better.
Luka is a Harden, Westbrook type of" superstar". If you know what I mean. An inefficient ball hog that can't defend.
Kyrie is better.
AD is better.
Colin: Three 1st round picks, one young player, and AD would’ve made sense for Luka.
Also Colin: Dallas won the trade.
Kyrie AD and a bunch of very good role players. Dallas is a contender
@ I agree. AD rounds out their team and it wouldn’t surprise me to see them go on a deep run this postseason. It’ll take time for us to figure things out but Dallas won the immediate impact, imo.
He did say short term Dallas (this is true), long term Lakers (also true)
Yeah he knows Dallas did not win the trade. LeBron and the Lakers won it big time and he is thrilled about that but he doesn't want to admit it. So that he can pump LeBron and Lakers later if things go well.
@@kennellfrederick4367Lakers won the trade all term.
AD: "We need a another big"
Lakers: "Everything is bigger in Texas"
“Hey LeBron, Ben Simmons is here. We’re all good.”
😂😂😂
Lol Everyone said that at the time though. No one imagined he wouldn’t improve at all
@@Alex90210alexthank you, this business Colin is in is full of receipts. He’s had some good takes and obviously some bad ones. But bad takes will be replayed for the clicks. We’ve all had bad takes.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@Alex90210alex not everyone. I was laughing when he went number one and my Lakers got Ingram
It’s simple…they didn’t want to pay him. Jimmy Butler, Embid, Kawhi are prime examples of what gives these owners reason to pause
No way I believe they didn't want to pay him the money has to go somewhere he's 25 years old... Luka a asshole and he never in great shape that's maybe the reason... There gotta be more to the story... Stay tuned
None of those guys are on Luka’s level dummy
@@danaisaunders3165Luka is not toxic or an asshole wtf are you talking about
@@alejandrozaragoza1104well Kawhi was better than Luka easily.
@@alejandrozaragoza1104 Kawhi owns Luka in every post season. The only reason he made it out the west was cause kawhi was hurt
Colin is about the only person who thought Dallas won the trade.
And he’ll be right. Lakers will give up 150 ppg
Ask Kyrie Irving if he is happy about the trade, any bets he is thrilled -lol
lol, to say that Dallas won the trade in any term is just ridiculous.
They did win the trade. As a lakers fan I hate this so much
Collin is delusional to think Dallas won this trade. You will never win or be a serious title contender with Davis or Irving as your number 1 guy. We seen that before with both of them before James joined them and lead them to titles.
Feel bad for Dallas fans
I'ma be a Lakers fan now ig
Shows how much power AD has if anything he organized this move he wanted out. Shows his value, but I still can't believe this. So he just goes where he wants.
Who had Luka getting traded before Jimmy Bulter on their Bingo cards?
Noone
Lol good 1 no one
Before GTA 6
Jimmy isn't going to get traded any time soon with the way things are going.
Who wants deal with the Jimmy Butler mess.
This trade was wild. Never expected Luka to be traded
He was traded before
Not wild it was trash. The Adelsons don't care about basketball.
No f-- s--
Colin thinking DAL can compete for titles with AD is hilarious. I also love how he criticizes Luka for missing games in a trade where AD is involved lol
I know we give Luka special privileges and personally I’m with that because I benefit from it myself in really life but realistically. If a guy played no defense, showed up late consistently, showed up out of shape consistently, missed team practices consistently and showed minimal effort for the job we’d say get his black ass out of here.
Yup I’m a lakers fan & it’s hilarious to me , I love him but he hasn’t carried A team to A finals like Luka , is also going to be 32 in a month. Offensively still relies on people getting him the ball. I love AD but you aren’t winning anything with A title in 2025 with Kyrie & AD , Colin’s take are laughable
You must not understand the game. The Mavs are great or good at every position now. AD plays the 4 and has a second big next to him. Kyrie can feed everyone. Klay at the 2, lively at forward. They also have a decent bench.
You can say all that about AD but he plays defense , averages the same points per game in less shots (more efficient) and you never have to question his effort. Compared to a guy you can openly see isn’t working, you can see that he doesn’t put in the effort. Luka has a negative rating when the ball isn’t in his hand. He’s essentially a defensive liability and he can’t overcome that offensively because he’s never in shape
@ ehhh I don’t know, kyrie was cooking luka has never carried a team to the finals. He’s been but he didn’t carry them. Same way Jason Tatum didn’t carry the Celtics
I agree with Colin, guys like Luka, Harden, Melo don't win championships. Getting AD puts you in a better position to win a title.
How many finals have Meló and Harden played?
No. Guys like Melo don't. Harden is all-time. Luka is the second coming of LeBron and is gonna get lots of chips.
Luka was just in the NBA finals wtf are you talking about
@@shuffle_3gz. Many teams have won a championship without Luka. AD has a championship ring. What are YOU talking about
@@chiwawa130 AD won with LBJ in a freak season that will never happen again. Luka dragged a bunch of nobodies to the conference finals and with Kyrie to the finals. Leading scorer, almost triple double machine (even when being chubby). You trade that for street clothes plus one pick.
This must be rigged. Must be.
Before Doncic's draft Cowherd said that Luka is a weak player. So I'm not surprised.
Remember in 2018 how SAS, cowherd, pekins,, Bayless and everyone said that Atlanta won the trade and luka wasnt nba calibre. Its 2025 and its history repeating itself with dallas winning the trade according to them. Jokers.
That was hard to project…. We know how elite AD is and how easy it is for him to fit in any offense/defense. Mavs got better. Lakers got worse.
Yea because all these media people are stupid they are entertaining 🤡
Dallas did not win bro. He’s a generational talent and the lakers only had to get rid of 1st round and an aging ad while Luka is still young
Laker nights live on!
Luka replaces the father -son duo. And they can force Lebron to take less if he really wants to contend for a championship next year.
They have Irving. With Lukka gone, other players might relax more and do better.
The franchise won the trade. Dallas did not... the franchise will be in Vegas by 2030... Go Stars!
AD is already a top 75 player of all time casual !
They done made Uncle Colin get out of his bed on a Sunday morning lol
And he sounds like it too
😂😂😂
My man was partying bigly with brady in new orleans last night
With the two plane crashes in Philly/DC, historically I cut people 'face slack' around those times cause... that many, you never know. Sometimes you just crawl out of bed, do the job, and get right back in after bad news.
@@xaviermcknight7131that’s airpod mic quality vs a professional podcast setup
Luca had blown up to 260 lbs. The Mavs believe that all the additional weight was the root cause of his reoccurring injury to his leg. If you see what Luca looks like at 260 you can see why the Mavs got buyers remorse .
He could weigh 400lbs and this is still fishy af. I will grant that this may help Dallas this year and next. But it's still about something else.
270
Why are so many comments saying LeBron knew? Wrong. What I believe happened was Rob Pelinka made three calls before the news broke out. One of the calls was to Rich Paul but I bet it happened literally a few minutes before the news broke out.
Rich might have texted or called LeBron at the time LeBron was having dinner. Klutch Sports was still completely BLINDSIDED by the Lakers brass. LeBron needed quite a bit of time to process as Jeanie and Rob were telling Klutch we are done with you. A news like this takes quite a bit of time to process.
Even if you found out a few minutes before Shams tweeted it, you would think Klutch still felt blindsided by what the Lakers just did to AD and what Dallas did to Luka. All this "LeBron knew" comments are bogus. LeBron was just as shocked as the rest of us. After the Lakers beat the Knicks, he talked like AD was still on the team saying how AD erases their defensive mistakes.
So no, LeBron did not know beforehand. Only Rob, Nico, the execs and the owners for each team knew it for a few days. LeBron was completely blindsided like the rest of us. This is the most shocking trade in NBA history. Never in a million years would any of us believe Dallas would trade Luka in the prime of his career.
Colin saying Dallas won the trade is the stupidest thing I think he has ever said. Even if Luka is injured and never plays a second for LA this trade makes no sense. They could have traded Luka for wayyyyy more than this!
He said "in the short term" as he tries to wrap his mind around it. Said he would not have done it.
Guess you didn't listen to the whole video, he clearly says LA won in the long run, and that Dallas won the short term, as the Lakers now need to pivot to building around Luka rather than LeBron and that will take time.
Anyone that actually knows basketball can see that Dallas definitely came out on top with this one! Kyrie and AD are going to give the rest of the league crazy work!💯😂
@@kevinragland6307 anyone who knows anything knows you shop around for the best price
Who CARES, people ARE STUPID. Luka isn't worth 70 Million a year. NONE of these current Gen of players are except maybe Jokic.
Title gatta be click bait… no way Dallas won
short term possibly, long term definitely not
He said to win now. Long term maybe the Lakers. I still don't trust Pelinka.
They did.
You know it's click bait 😂
Then you don't understand ball and how to build a team. Ad is a way better fit with Dallas then Luca.
Luka doesn't elevate players? He took scrubs to WCF 2 years ago.
Kyrie not a scrub. Kyrie has a ring 💍
those "scrubs" literally won a playoff series without him that year............
@@jjj0026 dude is wild. These kids confused scoring with actually being a complete basketball player. Luka just set the record for getting blown by in a nba finals game (13) he literally only plays one side of the ball. There’s a cap on how much you can get from that.
Also he 280. Let that sink in.
It was an issue when he pulled up at 250
It was a problem when he tried to play this year at 260 (which is why the franchise is upset, they think his weight and conditioning causes his injuries)
But the guy is 280 according to the mavs. And I get he’s been hurt which effects his ability to do cardio but luka looks Zion-ish
It's all about money people! Get out of your feelings!
Comping Luka to Carmelo is a wild thing to say, especially if you're going to say that LD doesn't elevate his teammates. Just an overstated argument that kind of kills the argument.
Dallas won the deal 😂
This is the worst trade in sports, to have an asset like Luka in his prime and decide to trade him is crazy and if decided to trade him and not shop him to get a bidding war is inexcusable. Someone needs to be fired for doing this. Unbelievable!
These big media guys are just trying to be different. if you actually think logically you would never trade Luka to anyone.
Except they traded him for Anthony Davis a top 75 player of all time
@@ThanosDidTheRightThing a old ad who had injures and has never been first team all nba unlike Luka
@@ThanosDidTheRightThingLuka is a five time First Team All NBA. His second season was better than Davis' best one.
Where Colin was wrong
LOL
😂😂
I’m even mad at the Mavs for screwing over their fans and I’m a Suns fan lol
Excuse me, Colin, where did Luka take the Mavericks last season? How is this a win for Dallas? What was the real reason they trade Luka for AD? How do you trade your Young Superstar?
The trade for Gafford and PJ washington made them contenders.
3:10 colin....they were in the finals LAST YEAR!!! there's a good chance that the lakers now can come up off of rui and AR(who was super important because we needed him as a secondary ball handler...now we have luka) and get a real big and maybe even more defense like a kris dun. and somehow end up being better than the mavs this year as well as years to come.
I think Dallas blew it with this trade!….
Remember Luka was traded before. Then he’s killing the league but he’s not in condition. Dallas was looking for the future. They didn’t wanna pay him because he’s out of shape
They did not want to pay him max to sit on the bench while his team loses game after game without him. Clearly they did not think his conditioning was going to improve.
Why do they keep trying to sell us on how reliable AD is ? His nickname is Street cloths.
Played more games than Luka these past two seasons
It's because he got propped up the moment he joined LeBron. AD was never a bus driver. Remember how it took Rondo joining the Pels for them to win a single series with AD?
You are wrong, his nickname is "Mr Glass", hehehehe.
Ppl are saying Dallas won the trade for this season because they’re assuming the lakers are done with trades…….
They aren't going to be able to get a center because there is no reason a team would willingly make the Lakers a contender
Actually nobody in their right mind says Dallas won the trade. Because they didn't.
Colin doesn't know what he's talking about as usual. He said back in 2012 that the Warriors should have traded Stephen Curry early in his career because of his constant ankle injuries. Thank goodness Jerry West, (the teams GM at the time) vetoed that idea. (He also vetoed trading Klay Thompson for Kevin Love as well!) Stephen Curry is now the greatest shooter of all time with a resume that's almost as impressive as LeBron James. FOUR NBA championships, two MVPs, a Finals MVP and an Olympic gold medal winner not to mention a first ballot NBA Hall of Famer who changed the Warriors from an average 500 team to a four time NBA dynasty! Trading Luka at this stage would be like the Lakers trading Kobe because of his legal problems in 2003 instead of Shaq. Nico Harrison is going to regret this decision for the rest of his life. Colin really needs to think about the fact that Always Damaged Davis is not going to help the Mavs especially when he always gets injured and will likely be watching the playoffs in street clothes later this year.
This is like the Bengals trading away joe burrow after losing in the super bowl. Luka was just in the finals
Yeah trading him away for like Chris Jones and a first round pick
Nah it's like some sinister behind the scenes powers forcing Jayden to the Cowboys so they can be relevant.
If I were Dallas I wouldn't even trade Luka for Lebron let alone AD.
I don’t know if I would have even traded Kyrie for AD, let alone Luka.
Yea Lebron is 40. AD is 32 so it’s different
"My Name is Luka
I used to play for the Dallas Mavericks
Took them to the NBA Finals
Yes, I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of trade to the Lakers
Just don't ask me what it was (Don't ask me)
Just don't ask me what it was (Don't ask me)
Just don't ask me what it was?"
Colin said Bron seems very old school. Yes I totally remember players in the 80’s, 90’s, and 00’s jumping teams all the time to build super teams, doing load management, and always complaining that they don’t have enough help.
The Mavs are going to have to give AD a massive deal when he’s out because he’s the franchise player. That’s the NBA.
NBA heard about the rating being down. You won’t have to worry about that the rest of the season now. We have story lines, west is still wide open. My prediction, Lakers or the clipper will win the series western conference finals. It will bring joy to Los Angeles after the fire. TV RATINGS GOLORE
Ur a genius
What will the clippers do to LA? They’re the 3rd most popular team in LA behind the Celtics
No….
Lakers are worse off today than they were yesterday. If they get through the play in it’ll be a success. Lakers making the WCF with this roster?! Are you high?
The Lakers have no defence with doncic. The chip is between Boston, OKC, Cleveland, Denver and clippers this year.
Colin’s anti-LA agenda has started and he hasn’t even moved yet
Big facts he ready to meat ride Chicago hard AF
Lakers shouldn't of trade AD I would of trade LeBron n bonny n rui for kyrie n Luka
@@rochellewilliams3444y😂😂😂😂😂😂
No he's covering for the Lakers and LeBron. By saying that they didn't win the trade it make it seem more legitimate when they obviously did going forward.
Is there any guy in sports media as happy as Nick Wright right now? Chiefs are in their millionth Super Bowl and his first born child, his prince, is joining his adoptive son, the King in LA?
I watched his emergency podcast earlier with glee 😂😂😂 it’s gone be a great future for my lakers
Mavs also got Max Christy who's been playing very well and is about to pop.
Showing up every night means 82 games 35 minutes or more a night. See John Stockton. The NBA Iron Man.
Dallas is looking damn good to those of us who know and watch the games. The internet fans who play fantasy and check stats but don’t watch the games have no idea what’s coming 😂😂
Short term sure, if AD stays healthy and they make another trade for a quality wing they can win the title. If they dont win it all long term it hurts bad especially for the fans.
Accepting 1 first round pick was incompetence. No way Lakers turn down the deal if Dallas demanded both 1sts.
@@jonasgoat9538 Old Klay is fine as a quality wing.. they got a solid 1-2 option now, and for a 3rd can use Klay's shots or bump down low with PJ.
The only trade in sports history crazier then this one has to be the Gretzky trade.
Hershel?
@@samelmudir maybe...that's the first thing I thought of.
Babe Ruth? 🤔
Deshaun Watson?
Minnesota Vikings has entered the Chat….
watch Lucas shape up now he made his way out of Mavs with BigMacs
He def not wrong saying Dallas won as far as Short term. They got a squad fasho
Any chance that the NBA is paying Colin to help sweep this trade under the rug? 🤷♂️
Even Colin couldn’t think of this …. And Colin is always coming up with crazy scenarios 😂😮
Luka must be so difficult off the court. Dallas must know something we all don't.
💯 they have to! That or LA isn’t the only town been smoking too much
Or, this a situation like Shaq going from a rising team like the Magic who became an issue for MJ to join the 'big' market in the Lakers, or similar to KD joining GSW and causing OKC to nosedive out of contention status as this trade seals the Mavs irrelevance for a decade. AD is gonna become closer to what Bynum became after he won with Kobe.
@@jonathanjohnson6727yeah but Luka didn’t request this trade or try to force himself out like Shaq
They know they don't want to pay him the max contract. The new owners don't care about basketball.
Thought it was fake when I went to bed woke up it's was all over social media
And Lebron got ANOTHER superstar...jeez
DWade, AD, Kyrie, Luka...this guys been blessed.
It's something Dallas knows about Luka that we don't know. You would not just give this guy away so easily 🙄 😒 😮
I've been saying that. Something tells me Luka is going to be another Kawhi.
Jerry Jones is the greatest GM in Dallas confirmed!!
Have you watched the NFL in the last 20 years?
@@22chuckc22 have you watched the NBA in the last 20 hours?
Dallas is full of shit GM except the Texas Rangers won the World Series 2 years ago but other than that they have done nothing no teams in Texas.. LETS GO EAGLES
Truth!
Luka is not committed to his body and I can see his body breaking down soon and Dallas being right on betting against him. That being said they did not get enough for him.
But getting AD, who is also injury prone and older and a big. If they got Jokic or Giannis would have been a great trade for Dallas.
"If" AD stays healthy I like Dallas more to win sooner. Luka work ethic & defense is a valid concern
Name me a single star that plays defense consistently
Lakers fans that watch the games aren't as excited about luka as you'd think. AD has dominated the past few seasons and been healthy. AD fit our team better so we could win now.
Remember, load management began with the Spurs. Everyone thought their dynasty was dead after the upset loss to the Grizz. They recovered and extended their stars' playoff and championship window by load managing during the regular season so they were more rested than their playoff opponents. Other teams like the Grizz were slow to accept and adopt that. And suffered playoff losses to more rested teams for it. Now, everyone has to do it to compete.
Thank Popovich for player load management.
Colin, please do not undervalue Max Christie. 12-11 before they inserted him in the starting lineup. 16-8 since, including him creating havoc on Jalen Brunson last night in NY. They should start him instead of Klay and let him develop. And, JJ played with Luka and have his favorite teammate in Finley-Smith and Jaxson Hayes. The Lakers have bigs. Jemmison 6-10, Koloko 6-10, Wood 6-10, and Hayes 7-0. Bron 6-9, Vando 6-9 (7-1 WS), Rue 6-8. Kleber 6-10, Morris 6-10. Kennect, Finley-Smith 6-7, Luka 6-7, guards 6-5 (Reaves, Shake). Shortest two players are Vincent and Bronny at 6-2. The Lakers had more spacing without AD in the past 2 games. Defense was decent, but yes, the rim protection is an issue. But Denver won w/o it, Celtics won w/o it and GSW won 4 w/o it. Did the Heat, Cleveland teams have rim protection? The only team who won a championship in the past 6 years who had rim protection is the LA Lakers.
Christie is an all round great player and shoot the 3 pretty good
Is there something going on with Luka that the public doesn’t know about? 25 versus 32. Luka has issues but this may just the motivation he needs.
Exactly, because i'm sure he's hearing all the noise about his self lol "He's not worth that kinda money" "He doesn't come to camp in shape" "A bit lazy in the off season" "He has poor eating habits??" 😂 And now he's about to hook up with "Mr Perfect"(LeBron James) lol, hopefully LB can give him some advice on how it's done. We'll see.
I think the Lakers made a good move. 😎
Colin smart af, everybody clicked so fast
AD leaves every other game lol he's always hurt
This is Burrow for Matt Stafford 4:09
Or Jamarr Chase for Devante Adams
The Lakers got a 25 yo GENERATIONAL talent who dragged the Mavs to the FINALS last year! What are you smoking!?
Stop it with this. Luka didn't drag them to the title. Kyrie was important to the run.
Who were the Mavs before the Gafford, pj washington trade? Remember the year prior? Dallas missed the playoffs with Luka playing.
Didn't they get swept, with the biggest story of the finals being how much of a defensive liability Luca was? Ohhh yeah. Guess what... LOTS of guys get their teams to the finals ONCE... doesn't mean they get there a 2nd time, or 3rd, or ever even win.
Barkley.. got there ONCE, didnt win, never got back.
Ewing.. got Knicks there once, didnt win, never got back.
Reggie Miller.. got there once, didnt win, never got back.
Iverson... got there once, didnt win, never got back... and so on, and so on, and so on.
Talk about the fox sports allegations
And why would he do that?
Charlie Dixon made his way to Epstein island
It’s almost impressive how bad Colin’s takes can be. The confidence with which he communicates them is almost noble in a way. Like his Justin Herbert takes. To see someone that makes as much as him to provide sports breakdowns be so confidently incorrect in his analysis is interesting to see. I tip my hat
It's not just random injuries for Luka. He has had four significant injuries to his left calf in the last two years. This makes him a big risk for blowing out his left Achilles, especially with being 40 lbs overweight. The Mavericks should have received much for the trade, but Dallas had real reasons to fear investing $350 million and the future of their franchise on Luka.
If you don’t see AD and Irving being a major threat in the playoffs, FAFO.
Dallas' best two players are injury-prone No. 2 options who need all-time great scorers and ball distributors to maximize their skills.
If we talk about the elephant 🐘 in the room....Labron wanted AD gone okkkk ???!Trust me he knew
Hey Colin welcome to Chicago!
What big men are out there where the Lakers are gonna miss AD. AD crying he doesn't want to be the big is a joke. There are no bigs in the NBA anymore for some reason I feel like I'm the only person saying go for 2 on every possession
MC is establishing himself as the shot caller. Plus 💪🏽 AD plays defense.
Also, LB gettin tired. Luka gonna have to carry this team for the next 5 years. Its a win win .
Worst trade ever 😡
As a denver kid...this feels like david Thompson or.even Jay cutler...both had huge off field issues...and made lots of sense 10yrs later...but why the lakers???... ugh
If Dallas got AD and Butler, that would've been one hell of a deal
Luka played 70 games last season. Also, Dallas can compete for a championship if AD "stays healthy." "Stays healthy," key words. Not too long ago everyone road AD for how injury prone he is, but now everyone's assuming he's going to stay healthy and make Dallas better!
LAKERS WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Time to get ready for out Championship Parade ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Lakers trying to copy the 80s Celtics team, with 3 white guys and 2 black guys. But not with the same calibre.
Doncic as Bird, Reaves as Ainge, Knecht as McHale, Hachimura as Parrish, and Lebron as Johnson.
Just a thought.
Maybe the Lakers are trading Lebron to the Warriors.
Colin Nailed it!!!!! The best commentary yet!
Mark cuban was the best owner he will be missed
I remember when Colin said people saying Luka over Ayton weren’t doing their homework
A lot of teams have won a championship without Luka. AD has a ring. Dallas will be okay.
Lmfaoo “Luka only gives 65 games, let’s go get the guy that’ll give us 55” 😂😂😂
Luka was not signing with Dallas so they moved on and got what they could. He was going to lakers so they got something instead of nothing. There is nothing more to this. Btw AD has really bad injury history and way worse than luka so injury has nothing to do with that. It’s foolish. I realized one thing and that is there are many fools talking about nba on tv when they have next to no information.
Dallas traded Luka for the same reason that Atlanta passed on him in favor of Ty. This is just my opinion based on what I've observed in both Ty and Luka's careers. The surprising part is that it must have been an absolute nightmare behind the scenes in Dallas for them to feel so desperate to move on from Luka without demanding more in return. It seems they are hoping he won't turn into the next Zion, dribbling around with a bag of McDonald's burgers! Lol
As a Lakers fan this was the best we could do in terms of a reset. I think it’s a win for both franchises. You can’t assess a trade until the dust settles. The fact we all say “Dallas should have gotten more”. Makes me think the Lakers won. If AD at 6-7 years older than Luka is what you give based on the trade…take it all day long. Last June Luka drug the Mavs to the Finals. He’s missed a bunch of games…he’s immature and is obviously burnt out after a short offseason. We’ll see what the Mavs turn this into within 2-3 years. AD has been injury prone in the past there’s no guarantee you get All NBA production out of AD in Dallas after this half season. AD at 32 is scary. If AD matures and takes that next step Dallas will win the trade. If Luma grows and learns from this that no one is above the team. He could start taking his body seriously and may go to another level where he can not only get a team to the Finals but he may he good enough to win a title.
