Introduction and Overview
00:00:00
Speaker
What's going on YouTube? It is DJ Tresse Tresse and I'm back with a brand new live stream to run my mouth about sports.
Impact of Luca Doncic and Anthony Davis Trade
00:00:09
Speaker
Thank you so much for joining me. This has been probably one of the craziest sports weekends of all time. And I don't mean to say that just because I'm being dramatic, but literally this Luca for AD trade is huge for so many reasons.
00:00:28
Speaker
Before I start my rant about all the things that I believe about it and all the things that I feel like contributed to it, I just want to give you my general thought about it. I still don't love it, but I'm getting to like it, okay? I understand that Luca Donchez will make our team better in the long run, Laker fans.
00:00:51
Speaker
Um, but in the short term, the Dallas Mavericks have gotten a whole lot better. Anthony Davis was doing a whole lot of work on defense
LeBron's Legacy and Future of the Lakers
00:00:59
Speaker
for the Lakers. And unfortunately AD won't be there to do that for us anymore. So my question is, who's going to play defense? Who's going to play defense? But I think that Rob Polinka has some more tricks up his sleeve. I think a couple more trades are gonna go um are going to happen, but I just wanna talk about some things that I've been seeing online. So I'm gonna grab my phone and talk about some things. First of all, this is the end of a LeBron and A.D. era.
00:01:29
Speaker
They won a championship together. LeBron has brought a championship to every franchise he's been to. He is La King, La Goa, all the things. Now, a lot of people are talking about the fact that Luca Doncic is 25 years old. So he's basically getting the keys to the kingdom right now on um controlling the face of the Lakers franchise moving forward. I'm not opposed to that. We knew LeBron was going to, um,
00:01:59
Speaker
retire at some point. We knew Brony wasn't going to be a good enough play. He's not a top round pick to to take over the Lakers franchise. And I knew that LeBron wanted to retire
Luca Doncic's Integration with the Lakers
00:02:10
Speaker
a Laker. He's got about a year, year and a half left in him, to be honest, just based off the one.
00:02:15
Speaker
in the need to play. um I'm really rooting for a LeBron to be a franchise owner in Vegas, but I digress. So I'm excited to see Luca and LeBron play together. Luca Doncic has ah talked about how he looked up to LeBron James as one of the players that He, um, when he was a kid, he looked up to, he said, LeBron James is a player that I wanted to be like. Also you've heard LeBron speak very passionately about Luca skills causing baby magic talks about his, um, assist skills on the game, all of these different things that are
Mavericks' Decision and Luca's Conditioning Concerns
00:02:51
Speaker
happening. Right. So big shots out to Rob Polinka for just putting together two people who at least got enough respect for each other's game. Right.
00:03:01
Speaker
Another thing is an end of an era in Dallas. I never imagined that the Dallas Mavericks would give up Luca Doncic, especially this soon. What I do see is owners kind of standing up for themselves a little bit in the, in the world where Jimmy Butler is having this temper tantrum and Zion can't stay in shape and and be conditioned. And um I'm hearing now all of this information has came in too. So that's another reason why I've been waiting to do a live stream video because
00:03:36
Speaker
We've heard so many things. We're hearing that the Dallas Mavericks had told Luca to stop treating the officials terribly because it was affecting their games, which we can see. That's the number one reason why I'm not feeling this Luca trade is because I just get so tired of seeing the complaining. A lot of people say that LeBron James do the same thing. I don't agree with you. So I don't care about, listen, I don't agree with you, but Luca does complain a lot, especially to the ref. He gets a lot of texts. He's cursing. He's doing all these things. The maps has said they talked to him about
Fan Reactions and Financial Implications of the Trade
00:04:10
Speaker
it. They also said they talked to him about his conditioning and how he continues to gain weight and all these things. I'm not sure how true all of these things are, but but you can physically see that he isn't in his greatest shape.
00:04:24
Speaker
Um, now Luca could have just been taking advantage of the situation. He could have known that Dallas wasn't going to do anything. He could have known that he could have, he could sit out the whole season, essentially, like essentially what he's doing now and pop up in the playoffs and make it to at least the finals because he's Luca. But it looks like the Dallas Mavericks are standing 10 toes down and saying that they want a a cultural shift in which Luca Doncher just not a part of that. A lot of the Mavs fan base is unhappy with it. They're saying the new ownership is cheap. Luca was ah eligible for a super max contract and I think he lost $116 million. dollars Um, it would have been the largest
00:05:10
Speaker
NBA contract in history. He was eligible for a Supermax extension this summer with the Mavericks five year, $345 million dollars contract. It would have surpassed Jason Tatum $315 million dollars contract. Instead, Luca is now on the Lakers and no longer eligible for the Supermax. The biggest extension he can get in l LA is five years, $229 million. dollars And for those of y'all who don't know, if you live in California,
00:05:40
Speaker
It's crazy to taxes, the taxes from Texas to California. So he's also losing the money on his taxes as well. Luca getting robbed. I can't, not that I don't feel sorry for him, but it would be different if it wasn't circumstances that he could have affected. A lot of people are saying the Mavericks play him. I don't know if they play them. It sounds like they talk to him a couple of times.
Luca's Potential and Lakers' Future Moves
00:06:03
Speaker
Y'all remember that a viral video of them after they won the Western conference finals and Uh, Luca had that beer in his hand and the assistant GM, I think that was the assistant GM or the operation manager, somebody from the math staff came up and just took his beer and he was like, wow. While I do think that's incredibly disrespectful, it shows that there was problems brewing at that time. So it looks like the Mavericks just got ahead of it. They said, listen, we can show you better than we could tell you. We want to move forward with what we want to move forward with. And this is what we get.
00:06:38
Speaker
I'm not feeling it y'all. I'm not feeling it. It's taking a minute for me to get used to it. It sounds like Luca is going to be available to play on Saturday. And it also looks like, I think the next game where the Mavericks play the Lakers at the crypto.com arena is February 25th. So later this month,
00:06:58
Speaker
We will see the two teams match up. A lot of people online have been making jokes and saying that Luca is gonna go for 77 points, his jersey number. That would be hilarious insane at the same time. I think the Lakers are gonna win by at least 30 points.
00:07:14
Speaker
The two man play with Luca and LeBron is, I don't think we've ever seen it. And I don't know if we will ever see it again. It's going to be real special to watch them play basketball together as well as y'all them ticket sales are about to be through the roof. If you have not gotten your tickets for a Lakers game and you want to try to get tickets now, the Lakers are already selling Lucas Jersey.
00:07:40
Speaker
The Lakers are already selling Lucas Jersey. It's already up on fanatics. I seen the ads today, y'all. The Lakers are wasting no time. I'm hoping that LeBron just retires next year. He does a nice farewell year and transitions and passes the keys to the kingdom over to Luca.
00:07:58
Speaker
We don't have a big man. I'm hearing that Chicago is going to send, uh, is it Voutrovik?
Lakers' Playoff Potential Without AD
00:08:04
Speaker
Voutrovik. I'm not sure how to say his name. Um, but hopefully we get somebody. I don't know who is still in the running to even make it by the tradede trade deadline, but the Lakers got to do something. I don't know if we should leave with Jackson Hayes.
00:08:20
Speaker
No shade to Jackson, you got some game, but paired with Luca and LeBron. I mean, honestly, if he just stood there and caught lobs, that could work. If he stood there and just caught lobs that could work. He would have to play some defense and get back on some of them rebounds and get big and get tough. I don't know if he has the capability to do that, but we're going to see here shortly. Um, what everything is popping with. I do want to cover before I get out of here. Y'all just wanted to hop on the live for about 10 minutes to just rant and give you my live reaction to the Mavs trade for Luca Doncic. And again, it took me some time because I wanted to get the stats. I wanted to get the facts.
00:09:02
Speaker
I was going crazy. I ain't gonna lie. I was crashing out a day and a half ago, but right now I got a little cup, some couple facts for us. So the updated chances to make the playoffs, the Lakers with Anthony Davis had a 58.6% chance of making the playoffs with Luca Doncic and without Anthony Davis, the Lakers have a 32% chance on making the playoffs. I think Rob Polinka knew this. I think,
00:09:30
Speaker
We were risking a first or second round exit anyway, and that was fighting tooth and nail in a Western conference where we would have to meet OKC. So we don't know about it right now, but the Dallas Mavericks got our best, basically our defensive player of the year because Anthony Davis was playing that tough.
00:09:50
Speaker
That's why I don't know why all these people are grading the trade and saying that the
Luca's Personal Life Changes and Conclusion
00:09:54
Speaker
Mavericks were F absolutely an effort a franchise in general before they team this year and maybe next year with the ah chance to make the playoffs and actually make a playoff run.
00:10:05
Speaker
AD ain't no bum. He a past champion. Like what are y'all even saying? So anyway, the Mavericks with Luca Doncic had a 50% chance of making a playoff. So both teams were about at 50% to make the playoffs without this trade with Anthony Davis, the Dallas Mavericks have a 72% chance to make the playoffs this year. They are going to make a playoff run.
00:10:31
Speaker
we might have to face the Mavs in the playoffs. I don't know what that's going to look like in a play in tournament. I'm not sure what that's going to look like, but it's looking like they're going to do a lot better than the Lakers this season. Unless Luca comes back and drops 50 every game because he's so heartbroken, which could happen, which could happen. I I'm seeing online that he had just bought a $15 million dollars house. Oh my goodness.
00:11:00
Speaker
to not know you about to get traded as well as he just had a daughter. So now you got to move your family to a whole nother state. I think Luca is going to be playing with some different kind of vengeance. Just me just reacting to the things that I see y'all. I'm DJ tree see trees and I have been running my mouth about sports.
