my guess is that Silver paid the owners of the Mavericks a good chunk of change to ruin their franchise to help the Lakers. Everything else is illogical. There is no world where a 25 year old top 3 player should be traded for an aging 32 year old who might be in the top 10... clear collusion
Losing AD hurts big time. Rather see Bron go with his son and dare I say AR and the 1st rounder to make it happen. But im absolutely elated at the fact that we are going to get Doncic. He got too comfortable in Dallas and I can see him resurge in LA to his top form. But to say that the league helped LA in any way is asinine. Neither Silver or Stern ever want(ed) the Lakers to be successful. Case in point CP3. Biggest BS trade block in the history of the sport. With that being said. Welcome to LA Doncic. Mamba mentality on!
