Given the lack of upfront public knowledge/level of secrecy and the late night release...and ofc the names involved..I'd say so.Is this the most shocking NBA trade ever? Heck is there any sport trade that was more shocking?
It's a longterm move. I have more faith in the Lakers org than, say, the Rockets (Harden is an easy comp to Luka) to go out and pair a dominant big with him.Luka’s career now
LeBron will ruin him. I don’t see that working out very well.
If I’m Luka, I’m already requesting to be traded again.
Luka is LeBron's replacement. He's 40. This is a long term move, not a 24-25 season move.Not sure they would trade DK or Reaves.
It depends on Bron. He has a clause but he can waive that for the right packages.
LeBron and Luka aren’t a good match. You trade LeBron to the Warriors (rumors) take some of their young talent and surround Luka with it since he’s only 25.
Keep Reaves and DK to play with Luka. It’s a long term play for the Lakers.
Now if they keep LeBron and those were just rumors. I’d maybe get rid of Dorian and whatever first round picks I had left to go get Jarret Allen.
Reaves, Luka, Bron, Rui and Allen wouldn’t be a bad lineup. You just wouldn’t have a bench lol. I’m hoping they lean toward trading LeBron and just surround Luka with young talent.
LBJ could easily move up to front office (if he wants), but I also think he may play a bit longer than KnoxVol believes. I could be wrong, but he could attempt a Brady and get into his early 40s. Modern athletes are different, which reminds me of something I seent yesterday. I've seen clips of him and Stabler would just casually chat up the cheerleaders while smoking cigarettes during critical defensive standsDoesn't he need to stick around a couple of seasons, so the Lakers have a reason to keep Bronny? If he retires, they are cutting Bronny's ass.
I’d trade the two picks they just received plus any first rounders remaining. Kleber and Morris offer nothing now or in the future. Get Jarret Allen, one of very few good centers they could get.LeBron will be gone very soon.
The Lakers aren't winning anything this year. The best case for the Lakers is that LeBron teaches Luka how to be a professional and what's expected from him as a superstar.Luka’s career now
