Winners of the Trade Deadline in a blowout, Lakers fully in Win-Now mode

Los Angeles – I’m so glad Lakers was trading for Mark Williams.

Not even because they filled a need in the center, but because it should mean we stop being flooded with all these insanity taking on lakers that puzzles away the season.

If trading in pairs of Luka Doncic with LeBron James – Again Luka Doncic and LeBron James – Wasn’t a sure sign that Lakers is going for it, yes, hopefully you know now: They are going for it now.

So much of the discourse in the immediate demand for Lakers’ bomb shell Anthony Davis-for-Doncic Deal was about how lakers by trading with a 31-year-old center for a 25-year-old point guard in the short term in the short term (read: 40 -year -old James’ remaining tenure of the team).

It all brought me back to beginner Algebra because I was lost there too. Except this time, I don’t think it’s me who is misunderstanding; I think who’s getting it wrong is the boys on the back of the room that I used to spend all my class time talking brace with.

In guys have always been silly: “For the next two years, I think Dallas won this trade,” said Shaquille O’Neal. “Yes,” Jay Williams said, Mavericks is now the one team that could overtake Oklahoma City to the top seed. Stephen A. Smith? “I got Dallas as No. 1 seed in the Western Conference right now.”

So tell me if I have it right?

Anthony Davis + LeBron Davis on the fifth seed lakers = also-ran, team that needs help, gab, meh.

Anthony Davis + Kyrie Irving on the eighth seed Mavs = dangerous! A challenger! Look out now!

I’m glad Davis is finally getting his fault as a difference-maker at both ends, but I’m confused: Why did he only start getting it after he landed in Dallas? Where was that energy while he was in LA, where he had constantly kept his durability and reliability?

Meanwhile, while we all picked up our jaws from the hardwood, either laughing at or damn Maverick’s General Manager Nico Harrison to make the move to deal with Doncic without an appropriate Gargantuian trait in return, why were so many people’s calculations: LeBron + Luka on lakers = no chance in 2025. But in the future …

This is me who lifts my hand. Because I need help with this: A basketball team deals with a great deal. The return it becomes is far and away the best player in the trade, why kicks the basketball team the saying can down the road?

Why – what? I mean that claim doesn’t make sense …

Ohhh … Maybe some of you thought to have LeBron and Luka – who was still sideline on Thursday and worked his way back from a veal strain but who went to Midcourt to Wavy hi to a roaring audience before tip-off Against the Golden State at Crypto.com Arena, where they tried to win for the eighth time in nine games – on the field at the same time could possibly present redundancies? That they might come in each other’s way?

You could worry about it if LeBron hadn’t been successful in sharing the ball with everyone from Dwyane Wade to Matthew Dellavedova and Luka hadn’t just gone to the NBA final who shared the rock with ball handling Savant Kyrie? Or if lebron is not going to take advantage of less use.

Ohhh … It was the void in the middle that was left at the AD’s departure? I could see that if you really thought that Lakers just wouldn’t solve for xThat they would turn their job at the trade deadline on Thursday without ending the equation and just taking the incomplete.

But it wouldn’t just have wasted lebron’s precious time, it would have wasted Luke as well, and Lakers wouldn’t do it, I didn’t think.

Yes, I was there, I know what GM Rob Pelinka said at Doncic’s initial news conference on Tuesday morning: “We know our list has continued to work to be complete. We know that we have a need for a large (men) market too big right now leading into the last two or three days of the trade deadline is very dry. There just isn’t much available. … If there is no championship big on the market, I cannot wave a rod and create this opportunity. “
