I just learned about this blockbuster trade today—my bad. I thought it was fake news that the Lakers were sending Davis to Dallas in exchange for Luka, but it turned out to be true. There might be a deeper reason why the Dallas Mavericks’ front office decided to ship their franchise player to the Lakers.
@Baofeng, any thoughts on this trade?
I still can't get over with that trade bro,
There are more questions than answers though,
a. Why Lakers, why the clandestine trade at night? They could have traded Luka to other teams and get a better deal?
b. The Mavs might have known something that they are willing to trade Luka, I do not buy the conditioning nor not playing defense issues. There could be more. And that reasoning? Is bullshit, you say that he doesn't have conditioning and that cause him to be injury prone like this season, but then got a player that is so fragile and coming from a abdominal strain injury.
c. Luka is their corner stone, a generational talent, and at 25 years old, is still very much in his prime as compare to Davis.
d. No one knows that Luka is available, nor he did request for a trade.
e. Mavs is the one who initiated the trade.
This trade as going to haunt the Mavs, and I think if Mark Cuban still has the power, this trade is not going to happen.
