do we understand yet why they did it? like how did the Mavs think this benefitted them?

must be something behind the scenes, they're tired of his lack of work ethic or something and don't want to commit to the big bucks.

No, cause he could only get the Supermax extension from the Mavs. If he hated them that much, he could demand the trade after the extension. Now he can’t ever get the Supermax cause he’s not with his original team. Plus now he loses like 13% to CA state tax. They really screwed him.

there had to be some inside baseball stuff we don't know about within the mavs organization. the weight stuff has been publicly reported, but obviously that's not why you trade a player who is that productive. just from what i've seen watching the mavs play the body language from luka has not always been positive and in the finals there was that famous sequence where he yelled at the coaching staff to challenge an obvious foul on luka but the way he did it showed a lot of disdain.

then there's the connection between nico harrison and pelinka. obviously these guys had the nike/kobe connection but oddly it never led to any other trades besides this one.

i've also heard rumors that the new owners, the adelsons, want to move the team to vegas. shipping off a beloved superstar can only help extricate a franchise from a fanbase.

but even then it makes no sense. i'm a lakers fan, AD is a good player but he will ALWAYS be a robin, you cannot get anywhere if he's your best player when it counts.

giant gaping hole in that theory is that the mavs are probably among the top 10 most valuable franchises and they are worth a hell of a lot more with luka than without him. it makes far more sense to sell the mavs for $8b+ and to condition the sale on getting the vegas franchise from the nba when the league expands (and it will) than it does to do this.

Luka and his dad are apparently pissed about the trade

Imagine being that good at your craft and some rich widow owner can still force you to move to a new city where you don’t want to live

yeah i mean they cost his kid over $100m+ in the difference between the supermax and what the lakers can offer him. he'll make up that difference in LA but still, sucks

Would be quite the storyline if Luka and Lebron take them to the finals. It's got that whole hollywood storyline. The young, white brash star with word class talent who doesn't listen. The black veteran all-time great who's inevitable lost a step as he's gotten older. Throw in a "magical/sage negro" plot and it's an instant classic.
