This dude just bought a 15 million dollar house, just closed it last week in Dallas. Apparently he cried when he found out. - Chandler Parsons
And they cost him over 100m from loosing the supermax. Now the Mavs are spreading rumors how Luka is fat and difficult to deal with in the media.
Luka got traded out of sheer pettiness, Mavs are just a trash organization now SMH
The Mavs as an org may never recover from this. What star wants to play for a team that does this to the player that took them to the finals.
No idea why the Mavs do this, was Luka unhappy?
This had to have been fixed by the league. There’s absolutely NOTHING in this for the Mavs. Horrible, horrible trade!
I mean, there is no other possible explanation right? I’m a life long Lakers fan and this makes no sense.
many Mavs fans at reddit are saying that new ownership wanted to sabotage the team, making it easier then to relocate the team to Vegas.
they are going to make a new team in Vegas, the league isn’t abandoning the 9th biggest city in the country. That’s just silly.
Maybe ownership had financial concerns, but it has nothing to do with relocation.
