The trade looks lopsided and Dallas should have gotten Knecht or Rui thrown in. Long term it's a terrible trade for them. Having said that, if PJ Washington transitions well to the SF that front line could be super good especially on defense. Lot of size and defensive ability
C. Lively, Gafford
PF. Davis
SF. Washington
They need another wing for sure if they are to be serious contenders.
I just don't understand how Cuban allowed this.
If they wanted to trade Luka, you could've gotten a lot more. AR should've been in the trade, Dalton should've been in the trade, and more 1st round picks.
This is one of the biggest steals I've ever seen in a trade.
Edit: didn't realize Cuban sold his majority share and isn't involved in the day to day operations anymore.
So the new owners and this GM are absolutely dumb.

Makes a ton of sense to me from the #txlege angle - esp considering Lite Patrick likely done next Session.

I don't think they're willing to trade KD if they can get the Butler trade done. If they can't, then maybe the Dubs send an offer the Suns can't refuse. They need more future 1sts to trade.

The best thing Phoenix can do it to blow it up. They are the oldest team in the league and have the highest payroll I believe.
KD can get them a haul of young players and picks

They are looking at a multi-team trade to make it happen - reports have named up to 5 teams in the discussions. Beal's no trade clause makes it even harder, though.

Pretty much . Non basketball related move in the interest of Dallas owners getting what they want . And Luka in LA is good for all NBa owners (money wise )

Reports are that Luka is Zion'ing himself into terrible shape. He's listed at 230 but is reportedly pushing 270.
Edit: Looks like he grew a beard to hide his double chin

His basketball shape is absolutely questionable and he is due a $350 M contract .
But cmon , call only one team and not find out if you can get more than AD ? He just got you to the NBA finals .
