If we trade for fox, we would have a very very fun team. But still hate the trade.

Is this the worst trade in NBA history?
Struggling to come up with another.
May go down as worst trade is sports history.
This is the equivalent of Babe Ruth being traded to the Yankees.
Who's going to be our big scorer on this team? You don't win in this league without a bigtime scorer.
3 dominant bigs, Kyrie and a slew of role players. Gotta think fox or butler are in play now too.
I honestly didn't have time to watch the Mavs anyway.
We could be headed for another decade at the bottom like the 90's. We're done.

Eff that. Those a-holes don't deserve our team.91AggieLawyer said:gigem1223 said:
New ****stick owners want to move the team to LV. That's obvious. This just expedites it
As far as I'm concerned, they can go. Especially after this *****
I honestly think this is the Adelsons saboting the Mavs….move them to LV.. What a joke
If you're going to do that you buy the Bucks or Grizzlies or Kings. Not the Mavericks.
The moving the team stuff seems really silly to me. People who know have been saying that Vegas is getting an expansion team. You don't move a top 5 market team.
And you certainly don't trade a cornerstone player. If you have the clout to get a team moved then you get the team moved and you keep the best players.

At this point let them move the Mavs to LV. And give Dallas the expansion team with an ownership group that gives a darn.
**** this ownership
This team is dead to me. Go ahead and move to Vegas and award Dallas an expansion team. **** this ownership.
Did Jerry Jones buy the Mavs last night and become the GM?

I don't really care about gambling in the state of Texas, but now I'll vote for any politicians that will prevent gambling from coming to Texas just to spite this family.
Now this is the kind of spite I can get behind!
Well guess the Mavs aren't getting my eyeballs or money anytime this decade. I'm out. Will not watch. FA complete FO incoming.
Do they not give a s*** about selling tickets? Or their new TV deal for that matter?
Luka has conditioning and injury issues. Let’s trade him for this guy pic.twitter.com/AP6YCbUEiZ

Am I dreaming???
On muscle relaxers or kinda out of it.

I wanna see our defense pissed off, not confused, maybe a little murder in their hearts

I know this has already been said many times, but the Mavs have to know something (or think they know something) regarding Luka's long-term health and conditioning. Nico has done a good job upgrading this roster since he got here, and now he pulls this move out of nowhere, seemingly getting the minimum trade assets for Luka??? Something else that hasn't been said yet has to be at play here.
I certainly don't buy the "Mavs to Vegas" idea, Dallas is too big of a market to move the team. Of course I believe the Adelsons main goal is to get gambling approved in Texas so they can build a casino/arena, and that goal supersedes winning a championship. But I don't think the league would allow them to move the team out of a big market like Dallas to Vegas when they simply could have awarded them an expansion team in Vegas.
Assuming the league doesn't veto this trade, I guess the roster will be as follows:
Starters - Kyrie, Klay, PJ, AD, Gafford
Bench - Dinwiddie, Hardy, Exum, Christie, Grimes, Marshall, O-Max, Lively, Powell
Short Term Injury Replacements/2-way - Gortman, Williams, Edwards, Kelley
As much as I hate that we traded Luka, the roster in the short term seems solid (to be clear, I would rather have Luka in the long term). I still feel like more information is needed as to what happened in the background, because on it's face, this is just a very odd move to make, even if it creates a solid roster in the short term.

I'm going to need a serious dose of Soup or MC Sawg explaining this in order to get through this.
Maybe:
Luka has hidden and long term health concerns.
Luka hasn't made any effort rehabbing injury.
Luka wanted to be traded.
Black players won't sign free agent deals with a white superstar.
Adelsons want to sever ties with Dallas.
Luka wasn't going to extend with Dallas.
Luka is a secret sexual deviant that cornered the market on the Dallas massage industry.
All of the above are ludicrous reasons. But none are more ludicrous than this trade.

Welcome to California Luka Doncic. In-N-Out is better than Whataburger.

This is worse than when we hired Mark Stoops. Like it's even beyond that level of shocking.
Mavs could've got 5 first-round picks, and instead got AD and 1 pick. Was our +/- that bad with Luka on the court? He was the only one who could make shots in the Finals last year.

So they're buddies.. Just like our last AD and Mark Stoops…Sports-Ag said:Word is new Mavs forward Anthony Davis is good with going to Dallas and has a solid relationship with team president Nico Harrison’s dating back to the latter’s Nike days. Now Davis also has centers to play next to him in Dallas.

As a fan of the Mavericks for as long as I've been into sports (almost 20 years), I hope Luka drops a 50-point triple double each time he plays us. Cuban would not have been on board with this.
Jesus saves
Worst trade in Dallas history?
Giving up Luka is a horrible move imo, but it's made even worse by what you got back here. AD is all you could get?
You couldn't have called OKC and said, we'd like a dozen 1st round draft picks?
Or waited until the draft and called and offered Luka for Cooper Flagg? Who would say no to that?
Lakers fans, and the NBA have to be loving this! Showtime Lakers are back!
This is just a punch to the gut/nuts/nose…whatever you choose, as a Mavs fan. Guess there's now a second pro sports franchise in Dallas I've lost interest in.

P Terry's better than both. Wataburger was the Goat until the sold to corporate *****s.
Wataburger hack, P Terry's kill the special sauce add pickles and mustard.
This is a trade your fantasy league rejects. Unbelievable.
Any chance Luka fails his physical and this deal gets nixed? Please?

NBA ratings plummeting, and LeBron about to retire.
I have no doubt there was some sort of conspiracy to get the most exciting and beloved international player moved to LA.
And, I'm a Rockets fan. Sorry ya'll got absolutely ****ed.
