So here's Mavs' thinking. Luka has player option for 2026. Lakers have cleared cap space to give Luka the MAX. Mavs must have a sniffling of an idea that Luka wasn't going to sign with them. So they are getting the best deal they can NOW. It also explains the leaks tonight on Mavs' frustrations with Luka's "conditioning" basically calling him a lazy fat fuck in polite words.
Two years of luka basketball with the mavs absolutely outweighs this trade. One year of luka basketball (the rest of this season) absolutely outweighs this trade. The mavs, being upset about his conditioning could have literally shopped around the league for more than this crap. This is a complete and utter failure on behalf of the mavs and in my opinion a sell out from the new owners who don’t care about the future of this franchise and don’t want to pay luka his super max contract he very much deserves. I am a Mavs fan so all of this is extremely raw, but it’s so hard for me to see this as any other way than how I see it right now
