This is a great move for Lakers for the future, a young player to build around. This does nothing for them this season. Lebron and his son need to leave LA, that experiment is embarrassing. Apparently he had no idea about Luka trade. Hopefully this is a sign Lakers are in planning stages of Lebron exit or retirement. LA will forever be Kobe's city. Trade Lebron while his old ass still has some value.

other teams didnt offer more because the Mavs GM didnt approach anyone else. They went to the Lakers, took basically the 1st thing they offered, and pulled the trigger. A 25yo, top player in the league coming off a season where he dragged the team to the finals, and then averaged 35ppg in the finals, should have gotten a haul, but the Mavs got pennies on the dollar.
This is easily one of the worst trades in NBA history, and either Nico is completely incompetent, Luka fucked his wife, or Nico is setting himself up for a job with the Lakers.
