The Official 2024/5 NBA Week 18-20 Thread - Luka Doncic traded for Anthony Davis

[peternorth]

Discussion pertaining to the NBA mega trade involving Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis. The Mavericks going for a win now and need move with effectively no centres available on their roster.

Furthermore, with this move, the Mavs escape the supermax extension Donc was eligible for. Given President Trumps threats and introduction of tariffs, expectations of costs to be passed onto American consumers will lead to higher costs of living. The Mavs are fiscally wise.

Not necessarily. Stroke rehab is intense, especially in the first 6 months - far too intense to enable full time work and travel. There is also generally a lot of improvement in that first 6-12 months. Just too early to say. Him being out for the season is unsurprising and not necessarily a bad sign.

He is 76 going on 77.

Shams says his future is uncertain which is what I am going on by.

Amazing win by the Lakers who are still trying to find themselves and each other with doncic.

I feel like Doncic is so good that he can get away with being out of shape as an elite baller but at what point does he and the Lakers assess his fitness and take it to the next level. Are his injuries a refelction on his fitness.

Looks disinterested, same as MPJ. Getting double and triple teamed and being allowed to man handle him

Maybe he just needs time to adjust. Having said that, Jordan when playing Utah in the finals in the 90s was constantly triple teamed that it was ridiculous.

Fair comeback from the Knicks. 25 down when I tuned in now just a Celtics lead of 4. Celtics will probably turn on the burners in the last and put us away anyway but at least a bit of fight that quarter. Ahh Kat injured now and the current floor of Precious, McBride, Bridges, Shamet and Payne...
