People have been used to believe that Luka is the display player and costume of Dallas Mavericks and that's why everyone has been stuck to that that he'll never get traded. And whoever is that person that predicted this is going to happen, good for him that he sees the same as the general manager and he's a total sports fan that understands how games work. AD is stronger and they've got now defensive roster but I think they'll struggle a bit more when they are trying to be composed and familiar with the system that Kidd will work for them.

They sure did.

But we all have to contemplate if the trade was in favor for both ends. I think that it's still favorable to the Dallas Mavericks. While they have a history of having that player that sticked to them until retirement and got them one championship with Dirk Nowitzki, Luka is also wanting to do the same.

That's the end of his journey in there and he's already in the Lakers. Everybody got surprised with it but let's see how the Lakers and JJ will have it planned on how Luka-LeBron will do.

I've read that report as well that the Golden State Warriors have been calling the majority of the superstars and they want them to be part of the team. I'm not sure what's on their plan but they're just trying their chances and how many will respond to their call. Because if all of them are to respond and accepts some deals, they're going to be on a salary cap for sure and they'll have to let go some of them that are going to be a hindrance for that so this is going to be a major trade for them too. But looks like no one's interested going on them.

What a wild start to the trade deadline.  Not in a million years did i see dallas trade luka especially at 25 and fresh off of a finals run.  Think lakers fleeced long term here.  AD will be good for dallas this year but 31/32 with an injury history as a big man doesnt bode well.  Dallas must have wanted AD bad because why wouldnt you call every gm and tell them highest bidder.  Then fox goes, lavine goes, etc etc.  Jimmy has to be moved but i feel like another big trade is coming.  Hope my knicks stand still and dont knee jerk a bad trade.

When I saw the headline of this news, I was honestly shocked and thought to myself, “wtf."
Luka is performing well and can definitely be called one of the best players in the NBA. This type of player usually performs his whole career in the uniform of one team as the team management usually tries to keep such valuable players.
Honestly, I also think the Mavs management made a big mistake. It's more like some kind of adventurous deal.
Either way, the Lakers are going to be interesting to watch now. If LeBron and Luka can find a mutual understanding and share the ball with each other on the court, I think the Lakers could be a serious problem for other teams during the playoffs.

I don't care how much Doncic would cost, he is the future of NBA type of player, he is once in a lifetime player, plus he didn't want to leave himself. I mean that sometimes happens, players gets tired of teams not building around them, and ask for a trade, that happens and I understand that because it's more common, players don't have to bring championship to a team, they can go for another team, look at what Kevin Durant did. Teams however, getting rid of their best player?

Probably one of the best in the league? That makes absolutely no sense at all, I get that you may want to get rid of bad players, but getting rid of your best player? For a few more bucks? That makes absolutely no sense at all. I understand that this is a short term solution in their minds, they think they did something good for the short term but the reality is that they screwed the team on the long term without a doubt. And of course Lakers got away with another super yet again.

A good trade if Mavs management will sustain that winning mentality and move forward as a team that have the responsibilities in winning games, As per what you've said Luka have it's own ways to amaze the fans and provide that skills lifting his team to win games, but NBA is a business and we know that there's nothing guarantee even how great you are if money talks behind you there's nothing you can do, that's how it is when we heard or read news especially after this Luka trade.

We can expect more movements as teams will have to react and adjust to make sure they are still in-line in terms of competitiveness, with this changes it's more on how the management will handle the team and how they'll motivate each and every part of the team to move forward and continue being competitive and still aiming to reach the title.

Can you share this specific video? I’m interested on what his basis for his speculation since this trade is really wild considering that it was almost a straight trade 1 is to 1 for star player.

No one will ever imagine that Mavs will toss Luka since Luka is just recently purchased his house on Dallas which means this trade is just happened without his consent
.
However, there’s always a content creator that creates unique exaggerated video for the views.

It was a carefully planned move by the Mavericks' GM as even Mark Cuban wasn’t aware. But the rumors suggest that the main reason behind it is money. The Mavs reportedly don’t want to commit to a massive extension for Luka, which could end up being the biggest contract in NBA history. 

And now, this is the news making the rounds.

Luka Doncic Is Losing More Than $100 Million After Getting Traded

But it’s done now. It was a strategic move, even though many aren’t happy about it. So, let’s just wait and see which team truly benefits from this shocking trade.

4th winning streak. I didn't expect that too. I put the Trail Blazers in my worst teams this year including the Wizards. But truly, they had been surprisingly winning their games.
When I saw Avdija's name in their roster I though why they are winning games. That dude is phenomenal and he can do everything. From rebounds to assists and some points. He plays like Sengun but because he is on a team that relies on isolation he cannot manifest his skills.
If I am to make a team, I will definitely added Avdija in my team. Not selfish and better for teams who plays a passing game.
