So I think this is actually for all the criticism and flack that Luca has drawn in the last couple of days from the Dallas side. I think like he's going to have a vendetta right now, I think specifically toward Dallas, but I'm sure the league at large, but also you're setting him up with a player who can show him how to take care of his body.

And how to be a leader and how to kind of get over that hump, because LeBron had a similar start to his career where the stats were there. He got to the finals, conference finals, couldn't quite get over the hump till he got to Miami. And I wonder if this is kind of Luca's version of that, of teaming up with LeBron.

And even if it's only a year and a half, kind of learning from him and not really propelling him to the next level deeper into his career.

I don't think they should necessarily. Like, I think we'll get a better idea when we hear from Luca tomorrow at the intro press conference Tuesday morning, 9 a.m. Pacific time. So that would be the first. He had a public statement in Thank Dallas and said how excited he is to be joining Lakers. We saw the little clip of him arriving in L.A., throwing up the L.A. hand sign. But I.

I mean, to your point, like that's certainly a factor. I would still point to like this dude just led a team to the finals and was putting up. He's still a killer. He's still a killer. I feel like to me and, you know, I don't. I don't want to completely dismiss some of the criticism. I think it's fair. And some of the weight stuff in particular about him approaching 270 or whatever.

I totally think that is valid criticism. To me, this is all kind of felt like almost a smear campaign from Dallas. getting out ahead and trying to set the narrative of they knew they were going to get so much backlash for this trade that they proactively were like, okay, we're going to leak and kind of share all this stuff about all of our concerns to try to justify it. Even with that,

I mean, just look at the reaction online and look at the Mavericks fans reaction. And like, I would say at least nine out of 10 people think this was a complete fleece, a one-way deal that the Lakers won handedly.
