OT: Luka for AD Trade

[Boston Rebel 2]

The Lakers always end up on the receiving end of these epically stupid decisions by teams. Luka is a generational player on offense who is 25 and Dallas got someone with an injury history with maybe two years left. They got AD in the first place the same way. I think the commissioners push this. When my son told me this morning I told him you can’t believe what you read on social media because I thought it was a joke.

I am a Knicks fan. When I heard the news last night, I thought it was a joke. Most Knicks fans thought it was a joke. Unless there is a very strong reason not made public, like a Luka drug problem, alcohol problem or injury, the Dallas GM should be fired.

Especially considering he didn’t even shop him and there are other teams that could have given a lot more.

Wilt, Kareem, trade of Vlade for pick to take Kobe, Pao, AD, Luka.

Back when it was Jerry and Jerry’s team I used to say if the Lakers call you about a trade you hang up because you are going to get screwed.

I’m a Lakers fan but don’t watch much NBA and watch zero NBA if the game doesn’t include the Lakers so I haven’t seen Doncic play much at all but obviously know what he does.

Yeah no lie Jerry West and Danny Ainge two all time fleecers. I don't blame them though, more the teams dumb enough to do it.

Scrub, I will give you my best analogy. Imagine that the UNLV AD decides to fire KK at the end of the season, UNLV did not proactively contact any potential coaches or agents in advance, and the boosters tell the UNLV AD that they can help pay a salary of 7 million per year to the next mbb coach and 10 million per year in mbb nil. UNLV interviewed 3 applicants 1 day after the firing: Wade, Wright and Menzies. Wade and Wright say no and UNLV immediately hires Menzies, without interviewing anyone else, for 6 million dollars per year, praising themselves for the cost savings and the fact that Marvin can start work immediately. The boosters then cancel the commitment of NIL and many remaining fans cancel season tickets. That is the equivalent of what the Dallas GM did. The worst UNLV AD from the past 30 years made better decisions than the current Dallas GM. I am glad I am both a Knicks and Jazz fan but we were never gifted trades like that. From a Knicks fans standpoint, we "hate" the Lakers and Celtics. Whenever the Lakers or Celtics are down, they seem to get trades like this. Fortunately, the Knicks finally have good management and are contenders.
