OT: Luka to Lakers

[JR44]

Those are all the reports. I wouldn't be surprised if they want LeBron to ask for a trade. Now that they have Luka, get some younger players and draft picks for LeBron. If LeBron never knew about it, which I believe to be true, I wouldn't be surprised if it was because they want him to ask his way out. Total speculation, however.

It's comical to think LeBron didn't know about it.  No doubt they ran it by him and he approved it and may possibly helped to orchestrate it.  All this he was told at dinner is to try to protect LeBron from taking any heat, the team does nothing without him being involved.  Do you really think they or any other NBA team would have drafted his son? 

Brian Windhorst who is as tied in as anyone has reported that LeBron has always wanted to play with Luka and is a huge fan at one point calling him the best player in the game.  When Luka was being recruited by Nike, LeBron tried to get him to sign with his brand.

This trade is super shady. The lack of return for the Mavs is absolutely ridiculous

This feels like someone trying to force a championship to LA. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some outside compensation going on, given how bad the official compensation was for the Mavs.
