*like this?
Its completely unprecedented and dumbfounding.
Doncic was the heart and soul of the new Mavericks.
This was his city.
They were actually successful...
its just completely bizarre.
Its one of the most out of touch trades ever.
Whoever was responsible needs to be forced out asap. This is completely unacceptable.
Its comedic. Its Hollywood.
If this is possible, basketball and the NBA has no anchor anymore and we can flip anything upside down at any moment.

Agreed.
Doncic was beloved by the fans AND the organization. He was not a malcontent. He was not a guy who had personality clashes.
The idea they would trade him purely over "conditioning" after he just made his first finals run at 25 is simply not plausible as a business decision. Even if you like AD's fit on the team, and certainly there is reason to, this is not a trade GM's just make. Plenty of superstars have had their flaws. Trades like this dont just happen.
The narrative theyre pushing doesnt add up IMO.

Super weird. I don’t get it at all. I’m still waiting for the release of more information behind the scenes.
There has to be something we are missing here.
Let me create a separate thread so people can read my thoughts. I feel like it gets overlooked if I post in the ongoing discussion. I want to be noticed.

Mavs PR team is already doing work. Saying Luka was "fat", even saw one report saying Luka wasn't coming back after his contract was up, which doesn't seem accurate at all.

Agreed and on top of that they had just finished constructing a perfectly complementary roster around him.

Funny part is that when the made the WCF in '22 they immediately blew up that team too.

Destructive thinking to get their way, by the Zionist ADELSON’s (who badly want to move the team to Vegas) & their literal f@g CEO Rick Welts:
- Trade Luka
- Lose 35-45% of their fanbase
- ticket sales drop at home AND especially on the road
-“see, no one is coming to the games anymore !”
- “let us move our team to Vegas!”
It certainly doesn’t make sense basketball wise, but it makes sense if you think about it like a cold blooded international Jewish mafia family, that doesn’t care much about basketball itself, or the cultures around it.. The ADELSON’s own SANDS, which owns many many casinos worldwide, including the largest grossing casino in the world, Sands Macau, just off the coast of China.

Let me introduce you to the history of Philadelphia 76ers....
Wilt Chamberlain for Darrall Imhoff, Archie Clark, and Jerry Chambers.
Moses Malone for Terry Catledge, and two first-round draft picks
Charles Barkley for Jeff Hornacek, Tim Perry and Andrew Lang
Allen Iverson for Andre Miller, Joe Smith, and two first-round picks in the 2007 NBA draft
Andre Iguodala was traded to the Denver Nuggets for Andrew Bynum
Jrue Holiday for Nerlens Noel

There has to be something we are missing here.There is. I will have a very detailed thread later today. It’s much worse than anyone assumes, and has fu@k all to do with basketball, on the court.

So they move the franchise and have no drawing power there aswell. Doesn't add up.
What if AD works out and they win? The trade was crazy, but you guys act like prime Lebron was traded for Kwame.
Also you already posted the same shit.

Why is it so hard to understand that they were tired of his laziness and his whining and bitching to the refs on the court? He's terrible and lazy on defense and if he got the bag from the Mavs, he was never going to change. This is a player that has let his fame get to his head and get the better of him. He doesn't have smart people around him. He would only play when he felt like it due to his massive ego and the fact that he knows he's being paid anyway. Shit is a terrible look for the NBA.
