What a sad day, I feel stupid for badmouthing Cuban, he wohld never do this.



There is a bigger clown here who hates Cuban with passion.

What about now?

The days with Cuban would give us hope. Now we have nothing.

Are you not happy? Luka is gone. Cheers. You won.

Go Dallas Mavericks! We will be better without Luka. He is fat. He smokes. He drinks.

Sorry to Mavericks fans that you might have the worst owners and possible GM and possible corruption going around the team and possibly the league as a whole. You guys do not deserve this.

trading Luka this way to an in-conference rival (and especially Lakers) is malpractice, investigations are warranted, makes zero sense

Regardless, Luka wanted out, and all of this blindsided us.

Please post any quotes from Dirk if he speaks about the trade.

Any insight would be appreciated as to why this happened. I assume the Lakers had been the only team on Luka's preferred list.

No one around the league had any idea Luka is getting traded

This is as bad as the Jason Kidd trade to the Suns.

This's far worse. You basically aren't having nobody except Lively in few years time and no control over picks. I haven't seen never something like that. Trading 25 years old franchise player for 31 years old injury prone C.

Genuinely don’t even know what to say. It feels like they betrayed their entire fan base and made a joke of the NBA. I really don’t think it should even be allowed.

Shouldn't the commissioner's role be to control the league? Am i wrong?

Obviously, this makes the commissioner very happy to have Luka in LA.

No GM, NONE can trade away a player like Luka without it coming from ownership.

This has to have come from Luka requesting it.... One team?

Return to Dallas Mavericks
