Luka didn’t get traded, he’s just not playing on the SEGABABA:
So in addition to the 3 starters Mavs traded for Porzingis once NBA signs off - Matthews, Smith, Jordan - a 4th starter out, as well. https://t.co/v2MD3X46Lb

That kinda throws this morning’s DBB preview of tonight’s game out of the window, but there’s some trade fallout chatter in the comments, so check it out anyway.
The Pistons BETTER win tonight against the Mavs’ skeleton crew. Let’s have a good one, y’all.
