This is a future move . The lakers now have someone to carry the mantel when LeBron retires that also means those picks that are being traded are worth horse shit now
@ I agree the Lakers are worse right now. But (1) the lakers weren’t winning the chip this year, and (2) we don’t know if the Lakers are done yet this year. This is a move that is an undeniable upgrade for the long term future of the Lakers.
What just happened? I still can't believe this. I love AD and I never wanted to trade him for anyone, because I didn't think players like Luka or Giannis or Jokić were options, and anyone else is just not good enough. I still don't know how to feel. After Bron retires, I always wanted Luka to replace him. But now they will be playing together.
@@dreynolds4883are u serious? Lakers just got a top 3 player in the league an absolute PHENOM that’s 25 years old the mavs are the ones that got fleeced.
The thing that most people seem to forget is that the team build that works for Luka is THE SAME team build that works for LeBron. That should make the build easier. The Lakers now have 2 elite scorers, playmakers, and pacesetters. They DO need to improve their overall defense, BUT a couple of moves here and there can put them in the upper third of the league, defensively, and I think that is definitely good enough, along with basketball IQ and intangibles, to get them a title run or two.
Right! DFS, Vando and Gabe (Gabe for smaller guards) are defenders. However, they MUST get a defensive center. The best case being Kessler, tuner and the least being Capela.
Austin Reaves is getting traded. I was upset at first because the roster makes no sense but, now i see they can make a trade for a defensive Center and a Shooting guard by using Reaves, Rui and a first.
Yup no one is safe except Luka. Someone really cranked the 2k slider up on our matrix. We are about to be balling in the coming years. @@eldararnautovic2797
Long-term, it may be better for the Lakers, but We just lost a lot on defense. Max just strapped Brunson, and he helped turn him over several times. He's only 21 and is getting better every game. Not to mention AD.
Somebody drug test Pelinka 😅. AD says he wants a center & Pelinka decides to not only not get a center but also trade his All-Star All-Def center. It's a decnt trade but roster moves are made to fill holes not create new ones or making the current one bigger. AR isnt going anywhere lets just be clear. That only leaves Vincent as your back up PG who isn't the creator AR is.
@user-iq7ry6hm8f I mean getting Luka is big time but it doesn't solve any of the teams issues. The center issue wasn't an issue just bc AD wanted to move to the 4 it was an issue bc they lacked a quality back up big. Now they have neither a starting big or a quality back up big. That's like me quitting drinking buuuuuttt I started to smoke cigarettes. I made a change but I'm still unhealthy as fk 😆.
@@AduKofs He's 25! You're only thinking about this season! And even in this season, having Luka makes the Lakers better. If you don't watch Luka on a nightly basis, then maybe you don't know, but Luka is a big level up from AD as a player. He'll put the show back in showtime.
Not a Lakers fan, but really unsure if either team got better in the immediate term. Lakers feel like they have to trade Bron to Warriors now to build around Luka and clear salary, rather than build around winning this year
This wasn't about the immediate for the Lakers, they got a 25 yr old franchise player that sets them up for the next 10 years. The Lakers felt directionless after Bron, now they have a future.
No point getting a center now. This team is done for the next few years. Luka is the replacement for James and Davis. He's the guy leading them into the future
Luka better get a tan to wear the yellow. Lakers beat the Knicks without AD and they lost Max. Hold it down, sign a defensive center until Luka gets healthy. Let’s get weird
I'm absolutely shocked. Playing sons of the forest and looked up lakers to see a recap of the great win vs knicks just to see this. I'm gonna miss AD and it's upsetting to me trading him. Short term rn roster fit is gonna be strange now especially that we needed a center originally to back up AD and now even AD is gone so we desperately need another big but i think what this trade ultimately came down to for Lakers is getting there superstar post Lebron to lead the new era. Obviously rn Lebron and Luka is probably best duo in league and its gonna help now to but it's clear this is more about long term. Luka is 25 and consistently mentioned as a top 5 guy when healthy and he's someone who's a franchise guy that your confident building around. I think what the Lakers looked at with AD is he's a superstar and amazing but he's 31 and i think they were looking at a year or 2 out your not really gonna be confident in building around him. So this was a post Bron move. But this is exactly what you want in the sense of now post Lebron is no longer gonna be scary bc now we have a young superstar to build around long term.
Amazing trade AD wanted nothing to do with the middle so we got him outta there what ever happens i know luka is fun to watch and I don't see why Hayes can't do what davis does on defense...... but we do need a good CENTER good job rob 👏
@@Ducee17he just got cooked by Zubac. Sabonis been giving him work for years (this yr the 1st time he payed good against sabs). There's more too but I ain't listing them all here.
@@DeezLeHeezso you think Jaxson Hayes will do better? Did you watch his performance against the Knicks? Very clunky player and doesn't know how to box out or rebound the darn ball like AD does.
I will definitely miss AD! He's the best big ever paired with Bron. He fills a lot of holes that Luka can't. It's been hours since the trade and it's still heartbreaking!
I’m thinking of Luka and bron. I think they’ll have to play like westbrook and Jokic in order for it to work. But with bron getting older I don’t see him having that spurt like brodie. Regardless the lakers will come out on top in the future. They got 10 more years of greatness for an aging star
I assume the prevailing thought in Dallas is to keep Lively at Center and move AD to his much-preferred 4 position. As for Luka now handling things in the backcourt, with LeBron as another major ball-handler, they need, obviously, to shore up the paint. It’s gonna take a lot to acquire a Jonas or another likely big.
Miles turner makes sense in free agency aswell, and cleared some salary for his contract tbh they have the leverage to tell bron to renegotiate is contract because who’s trading for 40 old bron,
I’m a diehard Laker fan but some of you Laker fans crack me up just last year the year before last everybody was yelling trade AD now we get one of the top three players in the league at the age of 25 and you guys are complaining🤦🏿♂️😂😂
I don’t see what’s the point of keeping LeBron if AD is gone, and I don’t see JJ Redick and Luka getting along so what’s the point in that coaching hire for the Lakers. Nothing makes sense.
The Lakers HAVE to have a trade in the works for a C, surely? If they do, this is a GREAT trade as the 2029 1RP is worthless atp and AD is 32 years old. HAVE to capitalise here in the market. GO GET A CENTER
I still don’t know what to make of this. We’ve been playing good. 1 game out of 4 spot. Now we have no C but have international superstar. I feel like we just traded Derrick Henry for Josh Allen. We got Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen! What’s the use of having both LBJ and Luka with no dog to pound? Like WTH? Gonna miss AD for sure. There HAS to be more on the horizon for this team and the league in general.
Go watch some Luka highlights. Playoff buzzer beaters. Ridiculous passes. Insane stuff. Lakers just got handed one of the all time best. I love AD. That buzzer beater vs. Denver … man, the craziest trade ever.
@@Roc_Officialbro who can guard Luka . Remember Luka destroyed the twolves. The twolves sent the nuggets home. Think positive bro . We’re all gonna miss ad Think about mavs fans tho and what theyre missing lol
Yes….but more trades to come for sure. Maybe this turns into a contender for this year, or maybe they are scrapping the year and starting over. Gotta think about the future at this point.
@ Lukas good for the future if they fire Rob pelinka. He can’t make a roster. I hope lebron leaves so I don’t have to see him lose his last two years to compete for a championship
Literally everyone: we need a center Pelinka: I hear you AD shipped out (with Max!) - now lakers with Hayes-Koloko-Kleber Either there are trades incoming or this is going to be so bad. Luka: yes a superstar. With NO DEFENCE and no commitment to the game (a Zion-lite!) - am I really the only one who hates this trade? Hopefully I am wrong .
@ I know I am exaggerating, but what I mean is that Luka is no gym-rat. He is fat and not commit to the game. Does not seem that healthy too and that is because he is never conditioned.
Mr Pelinka has a good luck charm. Mr, cant make a significant trade gets a call on a Saturday night saying, hey, you wanne get one of the best 3 players in the world for 1 pick, a young guy and streetclothes AD who doesn’t play tonight because he s injured again?LOOOL luckiest dude alive
This just proves anybody in the NBA can be traded including superstars. As a Lakers fan never did i suspect this coming. AD is having a great season and Luka has been hurt and hasn't played for a while. Long term this deal is good for the Lakers as Luka is only 25 but short term is a win for Dallas as AD is a 2 way player both defense and offense. Mavs roster is pretty deep defensively as AD moves to the 4 with Lively and Hafford handling the center position which is what AD has always wanted. They can compete and they have size much similiar to the Cavs roster so i can see this working out for them. Funny thing is Dallas didnt even get Reeves or 2 first round picks. Almost any trade talks with the Lakers involves Reeves and the Lakers didnt even give him up. The Lakers have a bigger hole in the middle now than ever before since Pelinka didnt even think of replacing Anothy Davis or maybe he thinks that Jaxson Hayes is the answer to their defensive woes. They don't have a real 4 or even a starting 5. Lebron can slide to 4 on a permanent basis but he don't play defense and Hayes is too clunky and is not a attentive to details like AD was. Just waiting to see how this plays by. The Lakers need a Center now than ever before.
Wait a minute, ...is Dallas somehow coming up with a mega brain move to get Jimmy Butler? They're gonna be under the 1st apron capwise once this trade goes through. That would suck for PHX.
Keith is pretty knowledgeable about basketball, but that's a terrible take on Max - he's going to be a 20/5/5 guy in a season or two, and I guarantee that.
@@jaimed.9154 Yes. I'm mocking all those no nothings who kept on saying fire Rob. Rob can't make a trade with teams that don't want to trade or try to fleece the Lakers. And as the reports goes, it's the Mavs that came to the Lakers several days ago with this trade idea. Now, does this trade make the Lakers better? I don't know. Only time will tell.
How is this Lakers Nation with a guy wearing a celtics hat????!!!!! And its not the first time. I stopped watching as soon as I saw this guy. Come on Trevor, check your boy! This isn't around the Nba. Low key disrespectful to the fans of this channel.
This is the business of basketball. For nearly 30 consecutive years the Lakers have had a megastar. That reign will continue for another decade now. Luka will become the next LeBron and megastar of the largest NBA market, just like LeBron came to LA once Kobe is done. This also marks the end of the LeBron era. Next year will be the LeBron (and Steph) farewell tour.
I thought it made more sense to keep Christie and trade Reaves instead but who knows. Luka and Reaves backcourt is zero defense so not looking good there.
Well that the season for us now. We lost this trade. Luka hurt a lot 22 games this season. Our front court is fucken ASS now. Plus went Luka and Bron play together it won't work. Such a bad trade.
Not really. The Mavs called him up first and told him that they would trade Luka. If they didn’t do that, this wasn’t happening. Let’s see if he gets a big now.
I love the Lakers but there's no way Luka stays there long-term with the horrible state that California is in. The tax difference alone between Texas and California would make him not stay
This confirms lakers aren’t trying to win! we still don’t have a big, max klieber is 33 and morris is aging! You have Austin Reeves playing the 1 already! You have one less wing! You at least pair Kyrie and Davis.
This signals LeBron's final year is likely next season. Luka is for the future. AD in Dallas is for today, to give them a 1-2-3 Frontcourt punch with Gafford, AD, and Washington. Klay, who's been playing SF this year, goes back to SG. And Kyrie, who's been playing SG, goes back to PG.
@@Roc_Officiallmao right? Also we’re getting A 25 year old generational talent, AD was never going to be the guy post LeBron , he’s 32 with injury issues & I noticed A slip in his athleticism this season , again I love AD but you do this deal 10 out of 10 times
Lakers MUST MUST MUST GET A CENTER LIKE KESSLER, TURNER OR CAPELA! ROB MAKE IT HAPPEN! YOU GOT THE FUTURE IN LUKA, BUT WORRY ABOUT THE NOW TOO… DON’T FORGET ABOUT BRON… YALL CAN STILL COMPETE FOR A CHIP.
Unreal. I'm still in shock.
This is a future move . The lakers now have someone to carry the mantel when LeBron retires that also means those picks that are being traded are worth horse shit now
Maybe LeBron can kick Luka's butt and get him inspired to hit the gym every day and get in top tier shape.

@@jaimed.9154 Yes. I'm mocking all those no nothings who kept on saying fire Rob. Rob can't make a trade with teams that don't want to trade or try to fleece the Lakers. And as the reports goes, it's the Mavs that came to the Lakers several days ago with this trade idea. Now, does this trade make the Lakers better? I don't know. Only time will tell.
How is this Lakers Nation with a guy wearing a celtics hat????!!!!! And its not the first time. I stopped watching as soon as I saw this guy. Come on Trevor, check your boy! This isn't around the Nba.
Low key disrespectful to the fans of this channel.
They can get Turner or Kessler some how then Rob get MVP😂😂😂
This is the business of basketball. For nearly 30 consecutive years the Lakers have had a megastar. That reign will continue for another decade now. Luka will become the next LeBron and megastar of the largest NBA market, just like LeBron came to LA once Kobe is done. This also marks the end of the LeBron era. Next year will be the LeBron (and Steph) farewell tour.
there was a period when lakers only had nick van exel and eddie jones, both good players but not megastars
Westbrook reincarnated
cant wait to see lebron reeves and luka share the ball at point...
I thought it made more sense to keep Christie and trade Reaves instead but who knows. Luka and Reaves backcourt is zero defense so not looking good there.
Reaves is a defensive monster with steals and he's clutch in pressure time unlike AD
@@thecarguy4304😂you cannot be serious
Bron Kyrie didnt show up in alot of games in the playoffs amd finals while Luka did. Your the X Factor to success. You show Up
Lebron to the Warriors or anywhere.......please!
Just another Kobrick fan. You still here it's been nearly 7 years and you still here complaining about a player being on your team
Well that the season for us now. We lost this trade. Luka hurt a lot 22 games this season. Our front court is fucken ASS now. Plus went Luka and Bron play together it won't work. Such a bad trade.
Lebron to CLE for Evan Mobley🤞
LeBron not going to Cavs proof you don't know basketball
Sit down shut up
LeBron coulda signed with Cavs he signed two more seasons with lakers but he’s retiring soon Luka is future
What’s the starting lineup ?? Luka ,Dorian, vando , lebron , klebba ??!?? They need a sg and center AR on the bench !?!? Or traded
We still love you AD, but please dont drop 40 on us when LA and Dallas the next two games
What !!! Truly shocking.
Rob pelinka has officially entered the Jordan & Bron GOAT debate.
Underrated comment
Not really. The Mavs called him up first and told him that they would trade Luka. If they didn’t do that, this wasn’t happening. Let’s see if he gets a big now.
It's early, but doesn't it seem the Mavs got the better end of this deal? Unless if we are to believe AD+Max is < Luka?
I expect Walker Kessler deal is already done.
Jazz already reported they not trading Walker Kessler proof you don't know basketball
I love the Lakers but there's no way Luka stays there long-term with the horrible state that California is in. The tax difference alone between Texas and California would make him not stay
(wearing a Celtics hat) Max and Kleber are a wash LOL. What a trade. Love you AD.
Dallas could win the title with this roster. They got 10 times better.
Laker fans have been asking for Rob to trade AD…. Now that it happened, how does everyone feel about it?
Bittersweet the present..geeked for the future
At least Luka won’t have to whine about not getting calls anymore
Almost 4 years today we also got mookie
I literally didn’t believe it was real
Why tf rob do this??????
This can't be real. I refuse to believe.
This confirms lakers aren’t trying to win! we still don’t have a big, max klieber is 33 and morris is aging! You have Austin Reeves playing the 1 already! You have one less wing! You at least pair Kyrie and Davis.
Maybe pelinka got mad from Trevor's skits and decided to show him
Had to come here to verify this is real 🤯🤯🤯
This signals LeBron's final year is likely next season. Luka is for the future. AD in Dallas is for today, to give them a 1-2-3 Frontcourt punch with Gafford, AD, and Washington. Klay, who's been playing SF this year, goes back to SG. And Kyrie, who's been playing SG, goes back to PG.
Most likely and I’m a Cavs fan really sad to see LeBron leave the sport soon
Soft AD for Luka 💪🏼🙌🏼
This what I wake up to
Is bro wearing a Boston hat?
He a Boston Celtics content creator but he Trevor lane Boy
AD definitely requested this trade. He got tired of rob not getting a center so he rather leave then waste his time here
So you came up with this huh? Making ya opinion a fact when it’s not…
I think AD and Bron knew. Perhaps they didn't know where.... or maybe they did.
@@Roc_Officiallmao right? Also we’re getting A 25 year old generational talent, AD was never going to be the guy post LeBron , he’s 32 with injury issues & I noticed A slip in his athleticism this season , again I love AD but you do this deal 10 out of 10 times

If he didn’t request it, it’s still a blessing for him! The landing spot is too perfect for him, and the return is perfect for the lakers. Win win!
Lakers MUST MUST MUST GET A CENTER LIKE KESSLER, TURNER OR CAPELA! ROB MAKE IT HAPPEN! YOU GOT THE FUTURE IN LUKA, BUT WORRY ABOUT THE NOW TOO… DON’T FORGET ABOUT BRON… YALL CAN STILL COMPETE FOR A CHIP.
Im still sick about this.
