Traded to the Lakers

This is the worst trade since Biden traded Britney Griner for the merchant of death.

Yep, the Mavs got nothing for him

Just gave him away

Never heard of him.

Mind blowing. Nico will go down in history for this one. Worst GM ever. Gave away last years scoring champ who lead his team to the NBA finals and is only 25 years old for virtually nothing. Dozens of other teams would have traded Dallas Allstars and numerous 1st round pics for a chance at Luka.

I’m not an NBA fan but will give a different perspective. Luka has yet to understand what it means to be a professional, especially around keeping his body in shape. He constantly comes into a season pudgy and leads to injuries like he’s going through now. Add to the fact he’s due a Supermax deal this Summer and it would have handcuffed the Mavs for years.

Dumbest trade ever.

It’s up there for sure, one of the worst I can recall

The Mavs were concerned about his health and conditioning. He’s only played in 22 games this year.

Reminds me a lot of when the Cowboys traded Hershal Walker. That trade set the Cowboys on the path to dominate the early 90's. The Luka trade has that kind of feel to it, but I dont see the same results in the Mavs future.

I'm sure there is more to it. He is always gimped up and a whiny euro, hopefully there is something in the works

Should have kept Brunson

It's sad but that's the way it goes in pro sports. My only concern is that they didn't get enough for him to justify the trade mid-season. I have to think his physical condition played a role; he has missed a lot of games.

Seems to make zero sense , they never win when he doesn’t play

He's a lazy, fat, overeating, always gimped up prima donna, who isnt really focused on winning.

BYE BYE

bad thing is if we really got nothing for him. He could be great but he's just a whiney Euro, to quote BIL.

You left out arguably the best player in the world

Did Jerry buy the Mavs?

Could not agree more! Trading a 25 yr old, face of the franchise for a player that misses close to 30 games…THIRTY…a season!

Pathetic…

I think this won't be a bad deal. Luka will never win a championship. He is overweight and its starting to have an affect on his health. He is maybe the worst defender in the NBA and the Celtics absolutely exposed him on that. Someone at his size and weight and apparent lack of trying to get in any shape will start to break his body down. Only played in 22 games so far this year. I had a kid I coached in college that was an amazing scorer, terrible defender, he transferred and we became a better team. With that said, it doesn't matter, the champion will come out of the east again.

My daughter is so pissed that she is in tears!

Looks like the Luka magic has worn off

I like his offense, he’s a scoring phenom. The dude can score period. But that’s all he brings, slow and poor defense. I don’t like this but I I have to see I can see why. Hopefully it plays out well

Got rid of kleberg and I wish they would have got rid of Powel. He sucks A

Probably gets old telling a 25 year old pro athlete to stay in shape.

Next man up, he's easily replaced.

Tells me he didn’t want to be here and they didn’t think they could resign him…dump and get what you can move on.
