“Luka’s been my favorite player in the NBA for a while now,” James said. “I think you guys know that. And I’ve always just tried to play the game the right way and inspire the next generation. And Luka happens to be one of them. And now we’re teammates. So it’ll be a very seamless transition.”

Know Grimes needs to get paid this summer, but there’s been a SUBSTANTIAL difference in the two this season. – 6:23 PM
The Quentin Grimes and a second rounder for Caleb Martin deal isn’t nearly as dumbfounding as the Luka deal, but it’s another choice that raises my eyebrows from Dallas.

Here is what I had in my primer on Caleb Martin and Quentin Grimes. Have had Grimes marked down as a possible target for a few weeks, and the Mavericks adding Max Christie made that far more realistic. Don’t think this happens without the Doncic trade.

Coby White is the Mavs target pre-deadline I think makes the most sense.
They badly need another scorer. They’re firmly in “fuck them picks” mode given the Luka trade. And Coby is cheap enough to get without giving up a core guy. Could do Christie, or Grimes+Powell, with picks. – 11:40 AM

More on this storyline
LeBron becomes the first player in NBA history to record 70,000 minutes played (playoffs included). -via reddit / February 5, 2025
“If I had concerns about it, I’d waive my no-trade clause and get up out of here,” James said. “I’m here right now. I’m here right now. I’m committed to the Lakers organization. “As the leader of the team, as one of the captains of the team, it’s my job to make it as seamless as possible [for the new acquisitions].” -via ESPN / February 5, 2025
“My emotions were all over the place, obviously,” James said. “We had just come off a big win. A huge win in the Garden. I was out. I mean, you guys have seen the report. I was out with my family at dinner and got the news and the first time I heard it, I thought it was for sure fake. I thought it was a hoax, people messing around or whatever. But then when AD called me, AD FaceTimed me and I talked to him for quite a while and even when I got off the phone with him it still didn’t seem real.” -via ESPN / February 5, 2025
It’s the Lakers causing problems for opponents right now, with wins in nine of their past 11 games to climb a game behind the No. 4 Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference standings. And that surge will soon feature the 25-year-old dynamo in Doncic, with sources telling ESPN that Doncic is “trending towards” making his L.A. debut Saturday against the Indiana Pacers. -via ESPN / February 5, 2025
“Just really shocked,” Irving said after scoring 34 points in 42 minutes in a 118-116 loss to the 76ers at Wells Fargo Center. “You just don’t imagine you’re going to get ready to go to sleep and then you find out news like that. “It’s still a grieving process right now. I miss my hermano.” -via ESPN / February 5, 2025
“You can say what you want about Luka being out of shape or whatever, but I vividly remember him giving people 70 last year and making it to the Finals,” Walker said in an interview with BasketNews. “So whatever negativity you want to say… man, a 24-year-old, 25-year-old made it to the damn Finals. He won EuroLeague MVP at 17. There’s no negativity in my point. That kid is great. He’s a future Hall of Famer, he’s going to be one of the greatest players of all time, and hey, man—make the apology just as loud as the disrespect at this point,” Walker emphasized. -via BasketNews / February 5, 2025
