Re: Lakers
I'm speechless. Now the Lakers have someone to build on for the future. Luka is only 25. They've been playing pretty good lately too

Re: Lakers
Lakers looked good tonight. Wonder how LBJ feels about being kept in the dark.

Re: Lakers
Wow, nobody saw that coming. Loved AD but this was totally about the transition once LeBron is done (although from his performance last night it looks like he could play at least 5 more years).
Dallas with some interesting comments about the reason for the trade - you win with defense, concerns about Luca’s commitment to staying in shape. One thing nobody is mentioning is AD is ALWAYS injured - he’s sort of fragile especially his feet and lower legs.
Short term this looks to be a better move for the Mavs, but now the Lakers will have a MVP type player to build around. LA though is now in need of a big man that’s for sure so they might not be done.

Re: Lakers
^^^This.
My first reaction was - what are the Mavs thinking?!?!
LA loses Davis for a superstar, but not just in the immediacy. At 25, Luka Doncic gives the Lakers identity and direction post-Lebron.

This is only good for the Laker's if they can resign him.

Re: Lakers
I know speculation is fun but why exactly would Golden State do that?
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Re: Lakers
I’m still in shock. But the weird thing is we can’t watch both these players with their new teams because of injuries.

Re: Lakers
Saw a blurb that Curry is talking a lot more about retirement. Play one more year with LeBron. The final year of the LeBron contract (not sure when) is player's choice, so Lakers might not get anything.
Apparently they got along well at the Olympics.

Re: Lakers
Legitimately the most shocked I have ever been in my life was being awake in real time when the news broke.
