      Red Sox couldn’t afford Babe so they traded him away. Mavs didn’t want to pay Luka supermax so they traded him away.

      It really is lol like the justification is that Luka has conditioning issues and is injured so instead of going to any other team they just go to the lakers and trade for an older more injury prone AD and 1 pick lol

        It feels like the Mavs didn’t even explore the market. If you trade away 25 year old generational talent (even little bit overweight) the return should be more than that. Weird af trade.
