Luka Doncic Trade Was A Business Move 😱

[cefb]

I'm not a conspiracy guy.. but I'm sorry this makes perfect sense. There's no reason you wouldn't shop Luka.. it makes no sense.

EVERY SINGLE FUCKING THING HE SAID STRAIGHT FACTS

This move will go down in history. There’ll probably for sure be a 30for30 years down the road when careers unfold and years of digging are uncovered

I think that the Mavs owners are trying to drive attendance down so they can move the team to Vegas

[ItalianStallion]

At the expense of all the Dallas Mavericks fans. We are a top 5 market too in case yall forgot. I’m not watching another Mavs game after this and I know I’m not the only one.

The lakers always make sure they have someone that sells tickets

[denim]

there’s no other way to logically explain this trade other than it’s something business related. because as an organization and fan of the game, trading a 25 year old superstar who’s no lower than a top 5 player in the league is just not a smart thing to do.

Luka would’ve been a two time scoring champ 23-24 if it wasn’t for Embiid in 23 averaging 33PPG! Luka is the best in the NBA when it comes to all around dominance of the stat sheet a smidge ahead of Jokic! But he has to get himself into better shape, these years are flying by and it doesn’t wait for no one!

This makes it seem like lebron is going to retire and needed to secure their next big player

[dogolife]

Just remember the ratings for the NBA were very low, now with this trade this is all people are talking about.

[WriterofWorlds]

This was my immediate first thought. I'm glad it's shared by someone reputable 😂 Everybody playing musical chairs. I would even suggest they make a 4pt spot and make dunks 3 points. Almost every shot is a 3pter now

People need to remember that the nba is a business first before it is a sport. Wade is 💯 right.

[Alma]

No brainer. It's always money and only money period

[WiilleTsukka]

Bill Simmons iterated something similar, that the league likely promised the Mavs owners something in compensation down the line

[omj]

If Dallas wins a chip in the 2-3 years this was a win for Dallas

[Nirvezz]

I was explaining this same thing to my friend a day after it happened. Total bs. NBA desperate for viewership, money and an audience.

[JewelAhmed]

Adam Silver himself engineered this trade. It’s all about the “Benjamin baby” NBA needs to interesting again.

[Pabby_cuajao]

Biggest market in the world for sports is so cap

[thomasnguyen]

Do you hear any owners complaining about how this went down? This is making WAY too much sense.

[paytongunter]

This is the kind of thing that even though any team would die to have Luka; every owner in the league from top to bottom benefits from Luka being on the Lakers. NBA doesn’t even come close to touching NFL ratings in America and this deal overshadowed the friggin SUPER BOWL!
