This is wild. Surface level it makes absolutely zero sense.
There has to be more to the story. Only thing I’ve seen is mavs were worried about Luka’s conditioning, which is such a small thing to trade a 25 year old megastar who just took you to the finals as a 5 seed. Plus there had to have been a way to get a better offer than AD and a 2029 first. Bizarre
 
Realistically I bet Luka said he wasn’t gonna sign an extension this summer and was intent on forcing his way to the lakers. But to capitulate so easily is wild, feels like they just wanted him out of the building asap. But that’s just a theory

The Thunder would have given the Mavs 5 first round picks and JDub.

The Mavs absolutely could have gotten a better haul if Luka was legit on the open market.

So all it can mean is that there is more to this that we may never know. Some weird combination of factors.

I just theorized Luka pushed for it but that doesn’t appear to be it. Man. I hate the lakers
