This is the most confusing thing I've seen in a long time.

The Mavs didn't like aspects of Luka's game? Maybe they were convinced that he was going to leave as a free agent? Okay, but he's a superstar, there has to be a way to get top value in return.

Instead they get a lot older with an injury prone guy who disappears in big moments? Now they have three guys in their thirties who are going to leave the Mavs as a lottery team in a few years? What the hell is the end game? Even if it's just "WIN NOW", they essentially mortgaged the future for a team that probably isn't as good as what they already had.

Has anyone in Mavs management tried to explain this yet?

As for the Lakers, I'm excited to see them play defense. I'm also excited to see how things work out with two guys who demand the ball. Is Bron going to yell at Luka the way he does his other teammates? They have to be looking at another trade.

I was thinking about something, maybe will be good for Doncic in his personal career, because Lebron will help him to be focused and in shape again, so in 25/26 maybe Lakers will have a chance to win the champs.
