[Charania] Luka Dončić will arrive in Los Angeles on Monday to complete his physical with the Lakers.
[Sidery] Per Shams, "Butler will say no to every destination except Phoenix as they tirelessly work to acquire the Heat’s star wing in a four or five-team deal this week."
[Charania] Jimmy Butler has made it abundantly clear to all teams inquiring for his services that the only team he would stay with long term is with the Phoenix Suns.
Zach Lowe on his thoughts regarding the Luka trade: “Everybody but Scottie Barnes. Maybe, even Scottie Barnes, the whole franchise, the CN Tower, whatever you want.”
The super max is actually working against its original intention. Teams who drafted the star are trading them away because they don’t want to offer the super max
Lowe on the Mavs trading Luka to the Lakers without canvassing the league: "I've talked to all the teams you'd think they would've talked to— they didn't talk to 'em"

[Stein on DLLS] The Mavericks didn’t conduct a bidding war for Luka Dončić because they didn’t want it to get out and for it to possibly lead to Luka Dončić demanding a trade in response to that.
[Luka Doncic] Grateful for this amazing opportunity. Basketball means everything to me, and no matter where I play the game, I'Il do so with the same joy, passion and goal - to win championships.
Can we beg other GMs to pressure the league to veto this? They would’ve willingly paid 5x’s this for Luka but never had the chance due to collusion.
