I mean based on their decisionmaking thus I think a move like that sounds pretty on brand for Mavs' front office...
My friend who is a Mavs fan is adamant this was a League/Mavs owners handshake deal.."send Luka to the Lakers and we'll green light your relocation to Vegas." Seriously, to decide you are trading a generational player in his prime and not open it up to a bidding war is the most suspicious part of this whole thing.
The delusional Laker fan trade ideas are just gonna get even crazier after this, smh. Luka also gonna average 10 FTAs/game for the next 10 years now.
[Goldsberry] The Luka Dončić deal originally included multiple first-round picks, Dalton Knecht, and more, but was chiseled down after Rob Pelinka was able to convince Nico Harrison that taking on Luka Dončić was a big risk due to his weight and injury history.
Reading this article and i realized this whole thing is a microcosm of how corporation and government ‘leadership’ is completely disconnected from people, just in another world in a bubble with no clue. ‘Ah, they’ll get over it.’
