Only way the trade makes sense is if the new ownership wanted Luka and Cuban to be gone.

The shite makes no sense any way you spin it. 31 year old injury plagued AD and a single 2029 first round pick.

You’re telling me there wasn’t a team willing to offer more for Luka fricking Doncic?

You’ve gotta be brain dead to believe this wasn’t manufactured in some way

Absolutely there is.

They didn't even open bidding on a top 4 player in his prime.

Not to mention the mavs have had one of the best duos at the 5 this season

Makes zero sense all around

yeah it’s been a long time since anyone looked at AD and thought he was the guy to build a team around.

I would imagine about 10 teams could make a way better offer than that. One FRP and 31 yr old Street Clothes for a 25 year old 1st team All-NBA guy is absurd.

This trade makes no sense. At least ask around a little. AND it sounds like Dallas initiated the trade talks with LA and that is all they got

This was an AD only trade.

Lakers laughed, asked for Luka, and the Mavs said okay.

Sure but the whole fricking point of owning a sports team is to 1) make money and 2) be competitive. The Mavs ownership just threw both of those out the window with this trade.

Saw a theory on Reddit that Adelson wants to sink the Mavs and move the team to Vegas.

you are simply wrong. most owners have the teams for hobby. their goals are dont lose money and passively own team.

Cuban must be internally melting but desperately trying to cover for new ownership on bluesky

Alternate theory, Cuban was aware that the NBA was going to force this trade, so he sold the team, or the NBA gave him the time to sell the team, and then they commenced the trade
