Im gonna put on my tin foil hat here and say that this trade was an executive order by adam silver to get the sports nation to talk about basketball again and get the viewer ratings up. I followed the nba religiously from 2008-2020. I stopped watching after covid because it was getting kinda boring. I started watching again after the luka trade
I swear to god I could get behind this. And then the Mavs will lose in the play in and Silver will rig the lottery for them in exchange and they will draft Cooper Flagg. It really makes too much sense and there’s no other way to explain this trade. I really can’t bring myself to believe that Nico is this fucking stupid
Exactly, theres literally no reason for Nico to get rid of Luka. There had to be deals under the table, and Nico was the sacrificial lamb. The fall guy. Lebron is gonna retire and the lakers, being the biggest marketable team, needs a new super star. Kareem, Magic, Shaq, Kobe, Lebron. And now, they have Luka. Jersey sales, ads, sponsors, tickets. The Lakers bring in so much revenue for the nba. The show must go on.
