00:00It feels like they just blew up the team.
00:01One of the dumbest, most ridiculous trades I can imagine.
00:05It's one of those things, it's just why.
00:10Just doesn't make sense why we would make a decision to trade away such a young,
00:16young player that really is a once-in-a-lifetime thing of folks like Jordan and Kobe.
00:22I mean, that's the kind of player that you just traded away.
00:25Really, we're going to trade a 25-year-old top five, top three player for a top 20 player
00:33who's older, who doesn't fill the same area, doesn't, you know, doesn't do the same things,
00:38goes to our already well-established front court for another first-round pick.
00:45We're trading the face of the franchise,
00:47somebody who Mark Cuban said he would divorce his wife over.
00:50It makes me nauseous.
00:52Luka should have been a masked player for life.
00:55He was another dirt, like, that we all, everyone, every fan wanted Luka to play his career at
01:01Dallas.
01:01It just feels like we were robbed.
01:03That's what it feels like.
01:04For this to just kind of happen in the middle of the night, I never ever expected this to
01:08happen.
01:09And to be traded to the Lakers of all teams, I think is a very frustrating point for me
01:13too.
01:13I lived those Lakers years.
01:15They've always been a good franchise.
01:16They've always won a ton of games.
01:17And for Luka to go to that franchise, that stings just a little bit more.
01:21We believe that it sets us up to win, not only now, but also in the future.
01:24And when we win, I believe the frustration will go away.
01:31When Luka Doncic comes to knocking, it doesn't matter what's on that plate.
01:36You want that Luka Doncic meal.
01:38You know, you're going to give up that other buffet meal and you want that filet mignon.
01:42Not to say that Anthony Davis wasn't a filet, but Luka Doncic is a special, special player.
