Bronny for Wemby. StraightUp.
Maybe, MAYBE if the Spurs also threw in a couple 1st rounders.
This the dumbest shit ever lmao wemby way more valuable than Bronny 🤦♂️ kids lol
@@jsongz201 it’s a joke cmon man
You fool😂
😂That would be less shocking than this.
Mavs fans waking up to this news are gonna have heart attacks in their beds! If you know any Mavs fans, take their phones from them & deliver the news to them calmly. Just whatever you do, DON’T tell them this while they’re driving!
Mav just receiving one 1st round pick for 25 year old global super star with 5 1st all nba already is just CRAZY lol
AD puts them in a win now situation
@@Kyle-zu3lllol you on crack
@Kyle-zu3ll they were already in a win now situation before the trade... they went to the NBA finals few mo ths ago ...
😂😂😂😂
@@Kyle-zu3llgoodluck with them when facing denver okc or even the wolves in the playoffs.
Dude sounds like he's recording in a meat freezer
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
From toilet
In the quality of the sound or in the quality of information both are trash! As a Mavs fan I can say I’m so happy this trade happened. Luka is a fat man that drinks too much beer, always over weight and out of shape. He has to be ball dominant and is selfish with the ball. Much respect to Nico Harrison and the Mavs ownership for allowing this to happen. Now I’m ready to watch these guys in the playoffs. I think AD is much happier as well and will play like it at the 4 position.
😂😂😂
Since we’re in the mood for dumb trades tonight , let’s trade Christian Wood for Steph Curry
More like Curry for Booker or j brown
@@devantegatson8482 Bronny for Wemby
@@hamilgregorio1451nah curry for derozan, lol
@ True
The 2029 draft pick the Lakers traded away worth a lot less now with 25 year old Luka on the team
A.D: "I Want A Big"
Rob: "Well Everything Is Bigger In Texas"😂
🤣🤣🤣
Rob will be the one crying.
🤣🤣🤣
An F for the Mavs would be crazy when this is clearly an F- trade.
Just watch, Dallas Just got better simply because of defense. Luka is great, but has no defense. Don't let Jimmy Buckets go to Dallas, it's definitely Dallas year
Kyrie and AD?? Are you crazy?!!!!😮
@@splibs43haha yeh not a chance the Mavs got better. A 31 year old AD who is constantly injured with Kyrie? One of the worst trades in nba history
@@darkmanxxx8810 you say that but the thing now is no one is running point, you got more pressure on kyrie on running the plays and the perimeter defense will be able to slow him down even more, sure AD will be an inside threat but we arent even sure how well kyrie and AD mashes, like suree there is a chance this works but why not stick to luka whom you can have many more years to built around withh
@animegol.d1276 Kyrie will run pg silly. ...
Lakers are looking for the future,Dallas for this Seasson
This is the one of the dumbest moves in the history of basketball
Dallas is looking to do what this season? Not make the finals like they did last year? 😂
i still cant believe Davis just got traded to the mavs for doncic im flabbergasted 😂😮💨 I hope this works out
Those who say "mavs got better" are plain idiots. You just lost a 25 year old generational player, of those that come every 2-3 decades or so.
Better as in the NOW not the Future. Luka hasn’t won ANYTHING
Luka defense doesn’t exist
I wanted to luka to stay…but Mavs kept all their bigs and added Ad, kept Kyrie and shooters etc so them healthy they can win
Fn renters lol 😂
@@tylermcnair4921and the still went to the finals with luka having a bad knee. Mavs wont be beating nuggets and okc with ad and kyrie.
AD: We need a 5 so i can play the 4.
Lakers: Great news! We got you a 5.
AD: Awsome!
Lakers: A 5 p.m. flight to Dallas. Tell Kyrie LeBron said hi
Dallas thinks Luka is the next Harden😂 I can’t wait to watch Lakers Mavs next game
LOLLLLLLL I followed harden since college and really disliked him. Always. Luka is a legit bonafide generational player. We won this trade despite AD being amazing and the most value in the form of a single player
There is less than a 0% chance that lebron didn't know that a trade was in the works.
Why?
@@ginovious He is kinda the GM for Lakers yk.
There’s no way LeBron wanted AD gone they have no rim protector. This was a move by ownership to be prepared for the future when LeBron retires.
lebron okayed it..after AD treat king's son a rookie by taking his seat...
@Jeremyness2395 - maybe he didn't. They have no need to appease him anymore and this clearly isn't a move for now or for him.
Maybe they gave a heads up to keep peace but I doubt it.
LeBron probably wishes the Mavs would take him now lol.
Luka said in multiple Slovenian interviews that he loves Dallas and wants to stay there till the end if they wanted him i mean he was taking injections trough the playoffs and still pulled them trough the finals or conference finals year earlier. He also stated that he doesnt want money he just wants a title and was prepared to leave money on the table just so he would be able to stay. Shameful trade by the Mavs organisation and backstab Luka like that.
Dallas were just stupid. No team will trade Luca at 25 right now. No team
NBA ratings are tanking. This was a backroom deal. No chance Dallas made this deal for basketball reasons
Dallas won this trade!!!!
Lakers have the best record in the last ten games and now can score more than anybody. Good luck.
They got weaker defense
Can't believe the Jazz got Hood-Schafino!!
the whole fitness injury argument about Doncic is ridiculous street cloths Anthony Davis is injured more than Luka
luka can say he played with lebron and dirk...not bad but i just ordered a luka mavs jersey...didn't even arrive yet lol^^
Ill say this about the trade from a current season perspective:
Mavs deserves an A, Lakers get a C.
Future seasons: Mavs get a C, Lakers get an A.
Mavs aint doing shit this season
Mavs have a very big team with athletic bigs now. They can shut down the paint. With AD and Gafford, they will make it tough on teams to score inside. Hopefully Lively will make it back this year.
@@Jimmyjazz1414 If your philosophy is offense wins chips, then go ahead and coach your team and see how far that takes you. Knock yourself out...😂
@@peterparker2981Mavs are not gonna get past round 1
Simple as this
AD adds more than they lose right now. Kyrie and Doncic is not good for defense.
Maybe they thought he wasn't going to re-sign, maybe tired of his fat ass, maybe the NBA overlords made a deal for a ratings shakeup, maybe they think they can win now.
Defense wins championships though.
If only LeBron didnt have a ntc. Id love to trade him for picks. He might waive it for a better title shot if given the chance though.
Bring bakc Dwight howard
Lebron found out about the trade after the Knicks game last year
😂😂😂
The Mavericks have been 'hanging around' without Luka. Adding another all-NBA caliber player should only make them better.
GLASS AD.He can't stay healthy. 🤦🏾♂️
What I am trying to say is, the Mavs are 13-14 without Luka. I think they are at least four games better with AD in the lineup. See what I am saying? With the West as close (record wise) as it is, this could make them a top three seed.
Davis is averaging 30 and 12, lol. They won't be worse.
@Trent-moon Luka has missed more games this year than AD.
Kyrie and AD??!! C?? Are you crazy!!!!
Who's gonna carry the offense? Lol. Neither of them are a 1st option.
The NBA is the bigger winner on this deal
The mavericks made the worst trade of all time
What if Luka retires at age 30? It doesn’t matter that Luka is 25 if he doesn’t want to play basketball long-term. We already see Luka isn’t as focused on conditioning as a lot of other superstars; so that could correlate with early retirement.
Crazy how Lakers just went on a defensive clinic against Knicks with AD out. Lakers are in a great position to win it all this year if Luka and Lebron are both healthy
lol
The year AD won a title is the only year he played great defense. He was a monster that year and now he’s always taking players off and injured.
He really about to win MVP now.... 😂 he got Kyrie now ppl sleep
He plays amazing defense every year my guy he just didn't have much help on that end since that year
That's nonsense. Dude is a legit paint presence and he hasn't been so injury prone for a long time. He might not play every day but he's been relatively healthy as a laker.
Surprisingly, though as he falls all the time.
Lakers get an S, Mavs get an F, Jazz get the C-
Bruh how can they do their vet like that
🧢 Bron definitely knew. Just like he didn't know JJ Reddick wasn't going to be the coach.
bron is not as almighty as you might think. 100% didn't know like luka didn't
Luka must have said he wasn't signing the super-max, or they were *extremely* concerned about that possibility.
More like Dallas gets Z-
That grade is definitely wrong but y'all never know what your talking about
LUKA 77 AND LBJ 23 = 100% BEST DUO THAT WILL HAPPEN 😱
LAKERS!!! Always Dominating! LUKA!!!
How doesn’t the Mavs get a F- for this trade.
You're right Mavs win the trade now . Lakers win the trade for the future.
The owners don't care about the future. Who knows what will happen in the future? They all want to win NOW!!
Lakers get an A because Luka can be the leader once LeBron retires. Dallas gets role players in return. New York gets a B because of KAT while Minnesota will struggle as a team.
Worst trade in NBA history for the Mavs
That's silly.
@ agreed. it is silly to trade a 25 year old perennial MVP candidate who led the league in scoring last season for a 31 year old plumber
@johnpatrick4391 Dumb comment. If you're going to comment, at least say something intelligent. AD has a championship. Does Luka?? AD is an elite big man. He's a better rebounder, shot blocker, and defender than Luka ever could be. He gives the team a great interior and mid range scorer at the center or power forward position.
I like Luka, the dude got an A+ game, but the Mavs did the right thing. Every year he comes in out of shape and he gets hurt. He's nice but he doesn't want it bad enough.
and you think ad doesnt get hurt? lmao dude gets hurt just by breathing.
@@Jaa-qj9he i really think majority of worlds population is stupd
Man people you like you don't deserve the guy on your team. Enjoy rooting for the Vegas Mavericks in a couple of years.
Something smells fishy! Luka isn't playing 10 more years either but maybe 5 as he's hinted on many occasions.
Yeah that could be it too. If someone is 25 and retires at 30 it doesn’t matter that Luka is younger than AD.
As a Slovenian to who he stated for Slovenian media he wants to play at least 10-12 years so thats untill he's 37.
Dallas gonna regret this trade
Not if they win a championship
@@anthonycampos8057 nicca please
@@anthonycampos8057dude, they are not gonna pass 1 round, bet on it, easy money
What if Luka retires at age 30? It doesn’t matter that Luka is 25 if he doesn’t want to play long-term.
If the Mavs win the championship either this year or next, then it was a great trade. They won't regret it.
Video needs more echo.
Luca trade before Jimmy is nasty business.
The Mavs got street clothes 😂 thanks for Luka
They said to pair with Lefraud, but this won't age well. Luka feels betrayed, and if they don't make this right, with the lil window they have, Luka is gone. I don't want to hear about max, people always want bring up money. Luka just wants to be appreciated, and now this. They have a year and a half to make this right, or Luka is gone!!!!
I would have fired Nico on the spot
Mavs forgot they were 4th seed in WC before Luka’s calf strain… Pelinka hijacked Dallas’ future
you know ad will have more help theres plenty of defense and big man in dalas and he can help the mavs but the lakers i dont what to tell feels rigged. is this because the ratings will eventually fall?
LeBron knew. He definitely knew. Maybe he didn't know it would be done last night...but...he knew. 💯
Two kings can't share one team
Yes Mavs will compete now for the crown, maybe lakers will compete after 2years of assembling its supporting cast... and these 2 teams will meet in west championship
They won't get a support cast. LeGM retires, and it's Luca and Austin Reaves. Well, and Bronny. You need WAY more pieces, and Luca is such a terrible defender, and a total offense killer, that you have to get very specific players to play with him. If they give him max salary, how do they surround him? LA won't break .500 for the next five years
@@Syrin23You sound dumb
in 2 years mavs competing for play-in
@aiwarz so will the lakers
@ you keep telling yourself that lol
They did this for bronny 😭
AD & Kyrie will win a title. Mark my words
Well they have a title
@@jawill24with LeBron
@@jawill24without lebron
@@r.r4981without lebron
the problem is what if lakers make more trades , you know luka will be on mission IF they meet
bad badb sound. He needs to chagne microphone.
AD, is a; A+💍🏆
Luka prolly asked for this. There is NO way Mavs just traded him just for an old injury riddled AD.
No, he didn’t even know
Exactly how are Lebron and Luka going to coexist?
lakers are done with lebron they trying force him into a trade because he has a no trade clause
Draymond to the lakers next
You're bugging giving The Lakers an A for this trade
What is this guy talking about? Luka Did not want out!!!
Mavs fan...I hope LAL wins every fucking title the next 15 years as a big FU to Nico and ownership.
Only defense the lakers have left is vando
No no no no no no please 🥺😢😢😢😢
The lakers should trade lebron if they can
I believe the lakers are about to trade LeBron too...nothing else makes sense you got Luka now its time to get what you can for LeBron...please call the warriors!!!
Craziest trade in sport history , makes no sense . Something 🐟 . Mavericks are shot
Because they are now a contender with the best interior defense in the league? LA won't break .500 for the next five years
😂😂😂 you crazy AD and Kyrie about to cook
@@Syrin23you’re delusional
@@darkmanxxx8810cook what? They just lost a guy who has made more all nba teams than Steph curry before he hit 25 years old. Absolutely the worst trade I’ve ever seen
@Romanus- you ever played basketball? If not shut up about this
I wonder how AD's dad feels about the Lakers trading his son whole he got injured playing for them. no loyalty in LAL
You mean he got injured doing his job, which he is paid around 30 million to do? You say it as if he's playing for them as a personal favor dummy.
@@igorvrečko I only bring it up because this is exactly why his dad cried about him possibly going to Boston. It happened to his injury prone ass anyway. Luka is no different. Boy stays fat and injured
Dallas in 6 for the chip.
Mavs are in a better position with AD rim protection for Kyrie
you aren’t thinking about the long term. your two stars are on the wrong side of 30 and la has a face of a franchise after lebron retires. Lakers fleeced
Luka body is like a 30 year old lol
@@870overlord8 idgaf what his body looks like if he takes me to the finals every year
They could still have squeeze a few more draft picks though.
only a laker fan would try to justify this bull*****
Mavs have a better chance this year to win with AD than Luka? Lol AD can get his shot but cant for others. Luka creates everything on offense. Now you only have Kyrie who can handle the ball. Those bigs wont be fed without someone setting them up. Cmon lol
Worst trade in NBA History... AD can't stay healthy at all... LuKa will leave the Lakers and go to Denver with Jokic when he gets a chance...
I'm good with that!!!
Sure dude
If this is not the true meaning of breaking news....
Exactly Mavs win….. the lakers will have no way to build around Luka…. Mavs built bc they had draft picks and they developed then traded… lakers don’t have picks for the next 4 years and they have a lot of holes. Luka hasn’t played most of year lakers gave up a first and a young piece and Davis for Luka and peanuts.
Nah the Mavs arent winning shit without Luka
Giving Dallas an F, yea he a 🤡
I would have traded LeBron
AD demanded a trade. He the actual champion in this trade .
Luka is not that dude,the Caucasians love this slow footed superstar…lol
Ad is made from glass and 31.
Further proof that LeBron James is the true Commissioner of the NBA!! 🙄🙄
😂 analysis is a lack of basketball intelligence 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾 Luka is not a franchise player. No defense means no defense! That will destroy any team. When you hold the ball as much as he does, trades will be like substitutions in a 12 and under basketball league.
Mavericks are deeeep. They won't get bullied by the Celtics again. Your starting frontcourt and second unit front court are ALL starters anywhere else. Wtffffff 😩😩😩🤌🏿🤌🏿🤌🏿🤌🏿
Well unfortunately they won’t ever get to play the Celtics so it won’t matter
@jawill24 oh wow. Thank you Nostradamus. FOH
Lebron made this trade
Watch Jimmy go to lakers or mavs now lol
if magic happens it could be like lebron and wade.. it could be the only thing that keeps lebron retire. lebron wants to be the goat and squash any hater why he’s not. championships. !
from^
Fans for lebron by next week: "lebron need help"! LOL!!!
Lmao 🫥
Smh.. still no defense
How is it a C- if they can win a title. LeBlame James kiss up
A.D. is in mvp convos. Definitely defensively. Luka is not in any convos, and he's been out since Christmas. Luka and Bron needs the ball, and neither is playing extremely well defensively. How the F does Mavs get a C-, and Lakers get an A concerned this trade?!?!
These talking heads don't know basketball. They were scrubs when they tried to play, and now they're "experts." AD can't be a C- for the Mavs. That's disrespectful. The Mavs got a superstar big man who gives them an elite shot blocker, rebounder, and scorer. The Mavs got better on defense and interior scoring. The Lakers got a 25 year old Luka who's a superstar and a perennial MVP candidate, but how will he play with Lebron? Who's the main ball handler?? Neither likes playing off the ball.
No one wants to watch a game of HORSE.... Weak! They need to eliminate the 3 point shot. Then we'll know who can play basketball...
Mavs got fleeced
How?
Nvm
No need to be blasphemous bringing God into this, SMH yall don't mention any other deity so flippantly and disrespectfully.
The rest of the season is going to be wicked.
lakers win...
LeBron played 99% of the time, Davis 28%. Hello Luka!
Except those numbers are wrong, and Luca is the one playing closer to 28%
Real basketball fans no Dallas win the trade
Lakers didnt even try to get a big man back with Luka…now dallas has 3 good bigs, shooters, AD and Kyrie
Lakers probably aren't done. There could be more moves coming.
