00:00Let me give you the entire
00:02Rundown here. So the Mavs get Luca Maxi Kleber Marquise Morris. They all go to the Lakers
00:09Anthony Davis Max Christie a
00:122029 first round pick go to Dallas now, Utah was involved as well here with this trade
00:18They get hood Shafino and two second round picks as well
00:22Of course as they're trying to obviously make all the salary stuff work out as well
00:27But the bottom line is forget all the spare parts Scotty. This is Luca
00:3225 years old going to the Lakers
00:35ad
00:36Going to Dallas where he'll be with Kyrie and that crew and clay down there
00:41Really one of the biggest deals I can remember in NBA history
00:47Well, obviously it is and I think that
00:52You know a couple things here as I said before
00:56Previously, I think there were
00:59maybe particulars that
01:01Felt like he was
01:03becoming a pain in the ass
01:06Not only
01:08with the weight
01:10You know his his body and the injuries
01:13but with his you know, he
01:16Obviously they were concerned about that with the fact that they potentially had to give him a deal
01:22Worth well over 300 million dollars that was eventually coming down the pike right and they didn't feel that he was
01:30gonna stay
01:31healthy and in shape because he's frankly never been in shape right and
01:37Then I guess there were probably some like Mark Cuban who when he owned the team fully
01:42He would have he said he'd rather get divorced than give up Luca Donchik. So
01:48He doesn't have that kind of juice anymore, he sold that majority of that franchise, right?
01:54He still has a piece but not like he did before so Nico Harrison did this deal
01:59I think there were people that were sick of him and
02:04They know how great he is everyone knows how great he is
02:07right like so you can say whatever you want about is his weight his shape his what kind of
02:15Shape that he's in for playing the grind the whole season, right? But I think that
02:21You know, I always said to you on this show over and over 100 million times that I've never seen anyone with that kind of talent
02:30Cry as much as he does and complain as much as he does. I mean I have seen this guy
02:36get and ones and
02:39Get the call and still
02:42He's still complaining at the line he's still
02:45Crying and complaining when he gets the call
02:48Like I've never seen that before in my life like people scream and yell when they don't get the call
02:52I've never seen someone scream and yell and keep screaming and yelling after they get the call and he this is every night
02:59It's every single night every game everywhere the whole season now
03:03I don't dispute and I never will his his brilliance. I've never once said he wasn't great
03:10He's just in a just a phenomenal player
03:13He's unguardable. He is truly unguardable. He's I think he uses his weight to his advantage
03:19I have a guard that I play with that has the same kind of you know body that that
03:26You know must
03:28driving muscular
03:30Physical he's got meat on his bones type of player that bangs and wants that contact and that drives
03:35He's got that and the step backs and the jukes and the fakes he's got the whole bag
03:41I think he's got you know, one of the deepest bags in the league that I've ever seen
03:45The other thing is is that he's already been to
03:50The finals right so he lost but this guy
03:54has been
03:56You know, he carried him in my opinion with Kyrie to the finals and then he averaged 30 points
04:03Only Michael Jordan has ever
04:06Averaged over 30 points in the NBA playoffs in the league's history
04:10Two guys have done it and I think you know, he's one of them. Luka dodged. It's just one of them
04:15So you can say whatever you want about him. He's badass and obviously the Lakers won him and
04:22I think the Lakers believe in their minds that they can Polenka Genie LeBron
04:28I guarantee LeBron's in on this that he's gonna they're gonna get him in shape
04:32And they're gonna you know transform him into a better body. I
04:38Think you know, my guess would be not this season. I think next season you're gonna see a different body
04:44I think he's gonna look entirely different next year like you've seen
04:49Zion actually at times
04:51Lose the weight lose the cut and go down a little bit and look pretty decent
04:55But he's never playing back-to-back and he's always injured whatever right?
04:58But my point is is that I think they're they think that they're gonna get him in shape and they think that he's the face
05:05of the franchise
05:07for the next I'd say
05:09You know seven to ten years. He's 25 going on 26. He's gonna be what?
05:15maximum 35 36 10 years from now and
05:18If they could get this guy to play Mike like he plays which he already does
05:24he's absolutely a
05:26Game-changing
05:28generational bucket making
05:31basket making dime dropping
05:34three point step-back shooting
05:36Dagger game winners last second guy money time guy crunch time guy. He's an absolute
05:44showman
05:45he's clearly top five player in the NBA and
