What would be the line where this trade makes sense? A string of dead hookers in Dallas?

What that guy said about NBA owners being blackmailed.

Don't know what to believe. But lol. Either you can't be an NBA owner without being a pedophile or Luka is a drunken fatboy who refuses to change his ways.

He was a top 5 player in the NBA while being a drunken fat boy.

What would 11 days really do?
And yeah, I ain't been watching but Allen Iverson is going off about a lot more than practice right now with that guy being the top PG.

Adam Silver forcing this trade to generate ratings seems like the most plausible explanation. Watching Nico Harrison sit next to Jason Kidd in that media scrum looking like they just experienced 9/11 and explaining to the reporters that it was all his decision and Jason is there in support of the decision while fumbling over his words and trying to find answers is a pretty big tell.

The most plausible explanation is the Dallas GM being an idiot.

I'd rank that as 3rd or 4th in plausibility.

That's like if I'm in charge of the Coca-Cola secret recipe and I call Pepsi and ask if I can have their old Orange Slice recipe in exchange for the Coca-Cola recipe.

The motherfucker gets paid millions for that job, and he just traded his prime Netflix stock for the last Blockbuster in Bumfuck, Oregon. Bad? Holy fuck.

Okay guys, paint me a picture of how the deal was conspired by the NBA, a league that veto’d Chris Paul to the Lakers.

I can't explain it but I just can't believe there is a GM that inept and why didn't the league block this deal?

Yeah I wasn't trying to go with conspiracy shit, that's Jason's bag. My point was that GM was beyond monumentally stupid.
Funnily enough, I can see Jason trading his Netflix stock for the Last Blockbuster, and I'd love him for it. LMAO!

Seems clear that the Mavs just hated Luka and whatever baggage comes with him. The GM doesn’t care about the future because he probably doesn’t want to do this job in 5 years anyway

Then why was everyone and their mother totally blindsided by the trade? LeGM didn't even know? Anthony Davis didn't know? Luka didn't know?

Yes. None of those players had no trade clauses. What is the question?

Adam Silver orchestrated it to increase tanking NBA ratings.
Another theory is that the Mavericks owners (who live in Vegas) are intentionally sabotaging the team and destroying the fan base so they can eventually move the team to Vegas.
Lots of possibilities. Makes more sense than "Luka is 270. He won't drop to 260. Let's trade him for an injury prone guy past his prime". Lulz
