    Well, he got screwed out of about $100M from what I can tell.
    Plus paying state taxes now.

    You see? He's so fat he could barely fit through the door.

    Wearing layers, like it would fool us... SMDH.

    Okay I know it’s fine but he didn’t exactly look NOT chubby there. And Pelinka still looks like a tool even if he’s getting all the flowers today.

    luka's dad's beef with vlade is also supposedly one of the main reasons why the kings passed on him for bagley

    even more reason to like him

    This is f****** crazy man. It’s real, it’s sinking in, starting to get excited that we’re gonna watch this guy play, he’s one of the closest to Kobe we have seen as far as offense goes.

    I didn’t think he looked fat at all
    Definitely not the ridiculous 270lbs nonsense

    I don't blame Rob. There was no way he would be able to not make the trade. You don't, it leaks and you are out.

    I don't have to like it, because I didn't have to make it.

    Just keep the succubus Kardashians away from him.

    After the clean skylines in Dallas he’s going to look up at those two unfinished towers across Figueroa from the Crypt with graffiti on every floor of both and the tent messes under the over passes and think WTF!!

    But first probably the training facility with the hugs from Jeanie and ogling the 17 trophies on her window sill and the same banners hanging above the practice floor. Not to mention that hallway where they will already have a 4 foot tall photo of him hanging in Laker gear (IIRC correctly other notable 1st day arrivals).

    The first time we see him take the foot in that Laker uniform and start playing on OUR team will be a surreal experience just like it was with LeBron.

    I am HYPED!!!

    You get a chance to get Luka - you don't turn it down.

    While I have watched all our games, and the New York win was sweet, I have had issues enjoying the squad and the games. I think LuKa solves this for me.

    AD deserved better, and while I felt he was an alpha beta rather than an alpha, he was dynamic in winning us a championship in the bubble.

    AD has been under injury clouds and lacked the confidence that few had, and often played small or defaulted to jumpers. Also he did not have that star power and is destined to be that elite second.

    While I am always an optimist, I think the playoff run of the present should not be used to gamble on our future.

    I hope some further trades can happen.

    Let's go Lakers, Cuban would have never done this for us, so we luka'd out in that respect.

    77 is a lucky number for me, so Luka here feels like a little smile of fate to start the new year. Fingers crossed.

    Listening to multiple pods today, just continue to get more thrilled with things that have been mentioned. LeBron now has to do less on offense, possibly preserving him more for playoff runs if he plays one season after this. The caliber of free agents we can attract goes up because we have a young superstar. The level of passing we’re going to see with Luka, Bron, and Austin is going to be wild. The draft picks we sent out previously now likely drop in value as long as we put a decent roster around Luka, as we’ll likely be at least competing for titles. Luka just raises our floor, he’s that guy a defense has to plan around, he’ll throw lobs, he’ll hit crazy shots, he’s one of those players where you have a chance to win in every game because he’s that good.

    Lastly, don’t know if I’d go as far as to see this happening yet, but Irwin did speculate on his show tonight that maybe LeBron would take a little less this offseason to add more help to the team to really have a shot at a championship. Never know, he offered this offseason, Luka might be that good to change some equations, and again draw free agents we might not have before, guys that chose to go elsewhere this offseason like Klay, Trent Jr, those sorts who went to other teams they felt were better positioned to win now.

    11 Larry O’Brien’s and the Walter A. Brown Trophy to honor the ‘49, ‘50, ‘52, ‘53, ‘54 and ‘72 titles. The NBA used to have a trophy like the Stanley Cup that switched hands depending on the title winner each year.
