Luka for AD

[Stakesarehigh]

I can see Dallas deciding to move Luka, i can't see why they would do it for AD.

Weird trade. And i don't know that this makes LA any better in the short term. More explosive for sure...

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Dallas was just in Detroit and they're the only team with cap. Maybe something with them

He's a superstar player and the Lakers need a superstar to be the face of the franchise. It certainly doesn't help them this year though.

Long term the deal makes perfect for LA

Dallas just shanked their fans in the back lol

 

[jontaejones]

The Lakers are like an attractive young woman.

Good things just happen for them even if they don't try...

Anthony Davis is a no-brainer hof player. They got Kyrie as well who's a beast out there. I mean the only thing with AD is how many games is he going to be available for you.

AD is nearly 32 and has averaged missing 30 games a year since their title. And that is with only missing 6 last year

AD is a fantastic talent...for maybe 3 more years.

Seems like this is a clear statement from the Lakers to LeBron that it's time to hang them up.

An hour after he posted a 30-point triple double in a victory over one of the best teams in the league?

It's only perfect sense that Kyrie had something to do with it...

They literally made one of the biggest blockbuster trades for a guy that plays the exact same position as he does. Yes. They're ready to move on from him.

Luka misses 15 games a year at 25

Anything that is said about AD being injury prone holds true for Luka also.

Ummm…

I don’t like the fit because they both need the ball.

But Luka and LeBron transcend positions. Position isn’t the problem.

So they both 'need the ball' but 'position isn't the problem'? Ok. Change position with roll then. You think that either of them is going to say 'that's cool, I'll play off the ball now?' And neither of them can play a lick of defense. These are two guys who's games look very similar.

I hold more hope that this makes Luka commit to his health. You can't undo 7 extra years of hoops wear and tear on AD.

The more i dwell on this it makes sense to deal Lebron too though.

I think they will try to make it work best they can. Luka and Kyrie not ideal compliments either.

But you are claiming they play the same position. That isn’t even true.

LeBron listed as a SF, Luka as a PG.

The problem is that now the Lakers 3 best players are all play making perimeter guys best with the ball in their hands.

Luka's a PG???? LMAO. What 'position' is Kyrie listed as, center?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Lebron and Bronny back to Miami for Jimmy, Jovic and Ware lol

Yes. He is a point guard. Has always been a point guard.

Kyrie is a combo guard.

Do you watch basketball?

 

[Albuquerque Rams]

What?

Cmon now. That is just a terrible post.

Can’t knock players for being soft and missing games, and then also knock LeBron for playing through injury and mentioning it when asked in a press conference.

You just a hater.

You mean embellished "injuries" so he can create a narrative to shield himself from criticism. He is that obsessed with micromanaging the narrative about his career and it's easy for him to do with so many media shills on his payroll.

Wrong.

LeBron gets unfairly criticized no matter what he does. And he signed up for it. It comes with the public life he chose and being the best.

He knows this and he embraces it.
