The entire basketball kingdom and NBA fans have been surprised by this trade. We all knew that Luka is a franchise player of the Dallas Mavericks until he's traded today all of a sudden. Even the other superstars have their tweets questioning if this is a real news by Shams or if he's got hacked but this is a real deal. While Mark Cuban is no longer a majority shareholder of the Dallas Mavericks, I guess the new owners of it have this trade made possible and decided.

Many are not really expecting this to happen and I really never imagined Luka Doncic not be in a Dallas Mavericks team while Anthony Davis I am not shocked that the Lakers traded him for a much younger tall guy who played as a center but traded for Luka Doncic that is shocking for the NBA and this trade had started a protest for the Maverick fans that they don't like this kind of bold move while the Lakers fans are loving this trade for me I think that there is a deeper thing about this trade that both Teams doesn't say to their fans.

Alright so i had a full day to take this in and i still cant figure out what the mavs were thinking other than they didnt want to pay luka the supermax of 5/350 he was due. But at 25 years old and literally being able to compete every year just because ypu habe luka is crazy. The conspiracy theorists are goijg to be full throttle on this one. Lakers have the face of their franchise now once bron goes. With that being all said i actually think dallas has a better chance to win now with AD over luka.

Well looking at the theory about the trade I have seen a video speculating that the Mavs have traded Luka because of his behavior, not keeping his top shape or not progressing some efforts in training and getting a beer when the games ended like we have seen in this video that Michael Finley grab Luka's beer and Doncic doesn't seems happy about it.

I think the only problem with him is his immaturity which is understandable since somehow he's so young. But aside from that I don't see anything that can make them decide to trade the one of the best player in the league a supposed to be franchise player on their team.

Luka is always have this win now mentality and we see how he play hard last season which help their team to reach at finals last season. That's why its really crazy to see this trade to happen and everyone who watch basketball has been shake out with this news.

Some says Mavs won in this trade since they get one of the best defender in the league and offensive machine, but he is also injury prone player and there's few season left on his career. Mavs is gambling their future with this trade.

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.

Seriously, what the hell is the Mavs office thinking? This is ridiculous. No one expected that trade. Not even Luka, who apparently cried after knowing he got traded. He even bought a $15M house in Dallas recently. I'm not a hater of AD, an MVP contender when he is healthy, and so is Luka. I won't trade Luka for AD any day. Luka is younger compared to the aging AD, who is already injury-prone. The long term benefit if they have keep Luka is better. Man, I'm a Warriors fan, but I'm also upset like other Mavs fans with this trade. I thought they were gonna keep him like what they did with Dirk. Really, when it comes to business, there is no loyalty. So other fans shouldn't be mad if a player asks for a trade. If the office thinks business is business, it should be the same for players.

Mavs is paying a lot of attention on Luka's health including his weight and maybe they have done enough with him especially when they didn't get what they want in terms on this side.

Maybe they are concern about what's going to happen in future especially that he's going to be eligible for super max contract and maybe Mavs management didn't want to gamble some huge money from him if he became a injury prone player due to his weight also health condition.

But what they have done is really crazy and better for Luka to take revenge on them and made them realize that they made a big mistake for trading a franchise player like him.

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.

DeAndre Ayton putting up 25 & 20 against his former team must have felt great tonight in the Portland Trailblazers win over the Phoenix Suns. The Suns big 3 all put up good numbers but Portland was able to squeak out a 2 point win in overtime. Durant shot 2-9 from three… If he makes one more…

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.

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.

What the hell? Obviously, it was the Lakers who won in this trade, no matter how you look at it. And this could be the biggest heist in NBA history, although it was the Mavs that initiated everything and not the Lakers, but why not? says Rob Pelinka. While the Pelicans are sticking with injury prone Zion Williamson, the Mavs is talking about Luka not playing defense and doesn't want to lose that weight? Doesn't really make sense to the point that no one believes this news and everyone thought that who releases this news who is a reliable source by the way, his account has been hacked. Perhaps the main reason why they offload him is because they don't want to give Luka a super max contract next year as he is still eligible even though he hasn't play that much this season.

It didn't make sense to make such a big trade. It doesn't seem to be just financial problems, I think there is a different situation and they are not telling us yet. Why would a team send its best player off the team? I don't want to believe that they will think about money that much.

Dallas Mavericks lost one of the best players in its history with this trade. They will never find a player like him. They made a trade that surprised the whole world. Even NBA stars were very surprised, no one expected such big news

I think the only problem with him is his immaturity which is understandable since somehow he's so young. But aside from that I don't see anything that can make them decide to trade the one of the best player in the league a supposed to be franchise player on their team.

I guess the Luka trade got some NBA General Managers worked up. Today I’m seeing reports that the Golden State Warriors have approached the Lakers again for a LeBron trade while saying they want to sign Giannis. Meanwhile the Phoenix Suns have said they will start taking trade offers for Kevin Durant. Another big trade is looming…

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.

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.

The Lakers responded to the trade request for LeBron from the Golden State Warriors by saying they have no intention of trading LeBron and want to keep him around to mentor Luka. So I guess if we want a blockbuster trade to happen it’s all eyes on Giannis/Butler/Durant for now.

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.

Surprisingly I stumbled upon a youtube video today about the Luka trade and that person predicted this in a video 5 months ago. I find it so interesting. Other than that person I don't think there was anyone at all that could even think this kind of trade. But, IMO Dallas is right about some things. I hate to see that Luka's talent is kind of being wasted with him being not in his best shape. He is one of the best players ever and he should be more professional about his diet and exercise. I don't think Mavericks is too wrong about this trade. It could very well work for them. AD is a beast.

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.

I like this trade. Wemby + CP13 + Fox. This is a good one and I hope that there will be no other trades that will happen and they will compose this roster until they reach a championship. I'm not sure if Fox did this but I have seen news in the past that he's looking for a home and wanting to get that chip out. With the Kings, last past seasons they've shown great but I don't think they'd do better with Zach. Might be a good decision for the management but not for the team.

Fox and Wemby are both young and are superstars, so them playing together should really boost the team's performance. I guess the trade was necessary to help the Kings improve especially since it looked like Fox wasn't too happy when DeRozan joined the team. Now, Zach and DeRozan are back as teammates. It's almost like the Kings are turning into the Bulls, huh?

I don’t think the Kings immediately improve from this trade. The first round pick they got for next year has some potential, but by trading Fox they pretty much assure mediocrity this season.

The best part of this trade to me is that CP3 is likely going to be pushed out of San Antonio now.

Fox to San Antonio and LaVine to the Kings… Not sure why Sacramento is trying to rebuild the failed Bulls team. I think they should’ve gotten more in return for Fox. Nice to shake things up I guess.

That's what I first thought when I heard that news. It didn't work with the Bulls. So does the Kings think they can make it work in their management? What a foolish thing to do.

Anyway, I think the winners in this trade are the Spurs and the rebuilding Chicago Bulls. Acquiring Tre Jones is a good one and I bet the Spurs will miss him. Now, we will see how Coach Pops will use his coaching power to maximize the usage of Fox. He now has supreme characters in his roster. One veteran point guard with a winning mentality and 2 young stars who are hungry to win the championship as early as possible. They now have speed and can also create a slow play with CP3 as a playmaker.
They now have a Parker (CP3 perimeter mastery), Duncan (Wemby), and Manu (Fox - both left-handed). It's going to be fun to watch San Antonio again.

So it's DeRozan and Lavine all over again, we have seen that this is not a perfect match with the Bulls and so why repeat itself in the Kings. Good for Fox though, just imagine him and Wemby though, both running in the wings and then Fox with a good pass to Wemby for a dunk.

We are still waiting though for Jimmy Butler as to what teams he will go. We can't still wait for this drama to end and for sure we are still shaking our heads on the Luka Doncic, Anthony Davis trade.

Good catch for Spurs both Wemby and Fox are young and bringing decent players that will help them to build that competitive team again, I think that's a good decision for Spurs, while with Kings like what you've mentioned Lavine and DeRozan don't have that kind of blends playing together, maybe there's a catch behind or they trust the coach to bring outthe best for both players..

In terms of Butler no update yet maybe another surprise for the fans, let see if where he's heading and who's going to be traded for him.

Fox is totally out of the spotlight and get less ball time since DeRozan already taking most of the shot while Fox was their Ace player. Kings probably contented to Sabonis being cornerstone and choose DeRozan as main so that they can get more players that can complement to their new form team without Fox.

On the other hand, Spurs becomes a monster now if ever Fox will be well fitted on this team since Wemby will now have a reliable teammates that can provide point for the team from the arc.
