To be fair, when a GM randomly zeroes in on Anthony Davis and you're the Lakers being offered Luka Doncic, that doesn't seem like a hard deal to negotiate. "Hey do you guys want Luka? We want Davis to pair with Kyrie." "Wait, what? Yes."

"Hey do you guys want Luka? We want Davis to pair with Kyrie." "Wait, what? Yes." This is actually what happened, lmao. Quote Harrison told The News that he and Pelinka began having “basketball” conversations more than a month ago. “Then all of a sudden we’re like, ‘Would you ever do this?’ ‘Nah, you’re joking, right?’ ‘Hmm. Interesting. Maybe I would.’ Added Harrison: “And then it just built over time over the last three weeks.” A person familiar with the Mavericks’ thinking told The News that Harrison got full support from team governor Patrick Dumont in the weeks leading to the trade and when it was time to pull the trigger late Saturday night. https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/mavericks/2025/02/01/dallas-mavericks-luka-doncic-trade-lakers-anthony-davis-max-christie/

He also said AD will start at the 4 and end at the 5, so you know, really devaluing Lively, Gafford and Washington. What I'm getting at: Nico! Look at Pat's, uh, hot streak. And defensive potential. What do you think about a swap, my man?

I'm calling the Lakers about Vuc, the Warriors about Zach, and the Mavs about Lonzo, Ayo or Coby (in that order. Also Pat, if Harrison actually doubles down on crazy). I have absolutely zero faith the Bulls could ever accomplish such a thing, but one consideration is that Doncic can't get a supermax anymore. Teams should have their eyes on that summer.
February 3, 20251 yr The Kings really saw the Bulls roll out Zach and DeMar for years and said "we'll do that "

February 3, 20251 yr Man that is horrific. We didn’t trade lavine last year or in summer because it was too bad a package, wait a year, and win way too many games to where we are barely in running for a great pick…all to guarantee getting our pick back this year? I really apologize to Garpax. Doing nothing was better than Akmes do something at first then do nothing

"Hey do you guys want Luka? We want Davis to pair with Kyrie." "Wait, what? Yes." It's just like incredibly stupid GM logic. Pseudo Getz would do this deal. And I like AD. Is there an MLB equivalent? "Hey, we really like Bryce Harper, let's trade you Bobby Witt Jr." Except Bryce is better than AD. You trade a superstar in his prime for an old guy and no picks....it makes no sense to me. You want to pair the old flat earther with another old guy? Why? People are telling me Luka is an alcoholic. Whatever. He's great at basketball. It's such a bizarre trade.

February 3, 20251 yr Got 1 pick back for Zach LaVine. Sure it's their own 1st round pick back but that is absolutely terrible. What a joke of an organization.
