Dude is working overtime to clear his name. It's getting kinda ridiculous at this point. He sold the team to the absolute worst people with no real knowledge of basketball and hired the dumbest GM ever. When Lindsey left, Nico was left alone on the island and here we are.

Kevin Gray has been on a tear since the trade, listen to this piece, sucks these guys will see massive traffic drop, because they are some of the best in business

Yeah. The traffic was padded by the Luka stans that have moved to following LA since the trade.

This is prerty similar to when Bron left Cleveland and took the bronsexuals with him to Miami. Then eventually to LA.

LOL....So true.
I needed to laugh so thank you.

Nico and this ownership needed an expansion team and not a team with a player like Luka on it. Nico was handed a good position and he's failed merserbly.

The ownership is just the villains by not firing him and increasing the ticket prices.

It is funny until it isn't. You have many, many parents saying they had to explain to their kids how Luka was traded and they were crying because of it. Entire generations of young fans was screwed over, it's actually sad. A ton of teams in any sport has a star or multiple stars with massive followings. Imagine being young and being a huge fan of Dirk, then suddenly he's traded for the dumbest reason. How does your dad explain this to you and how do you cope with that? It is what it is and the organization will have to deal with it for MANY years.

And it's not just Luka fans, you have insane amount of die hard Mavs fans from 90's who just watch Lakers now. Mavs twitter lost 3M followers in like 24 hours and they still haven't even remotely recovered. Those were not just Luka fans.

Mavs lost at least 1 generation of fans (probably 2) and a lot of diehard MFFL.
That's not a trade, it was a complete suicide.

But ehy, the real Mavs are still here.
We are 5 or 6 but who cares

I can't believe it's possible to destroy a franchise so fast. Insane.

To be honest, it's just sports entertainment, it's not do or die. I found another way to spend my money for entertainment. They can too. Why force yourself and give money to the Mavs. They made their bed.

Losing 3M followers is a lot.

I've read somewhere that the Lakers got an increase of only 9,000 followers on post Luka trade. 500 are probably Slovenians looking for a new home. Other Real Madrid fans from Spain probably.

For the adults, for the most part, yeah sure... but there is also the other side of it.

Did anyone order MacMahon book? Amazon says expected release date in March 3rd 2026 for the e-book.
I'm planning a visit to the States this Autumn, I'll order the physical copy then, but wanted to get the e-book now...

It's probably going to leak online anyway or at least the most interesting bits will be posted by people. Sorry i'm not giving that guy a single cent. He's also the least trust worthy reporter, so i wonder how much of the details will actually be true. He said stuff in the past and Luka's dad in our media told a complete different version. So be careful if or when you read it.

MacMahon is such a weasel. I can't tell you what to spend your money on but that's a hell no from me.

Constantly thinking about this. I so wish there was a legitimate investigation into this trade. Almost 2 months later it still makes no sense as to why the Mavericks would do this. The potential conflict of interest re Nico's relationship with Rob Pelinka and Kobe Bryant is compelling enough considering how great the trade is for LA and how bad it is for DAL. And how it was done so quietly and so quickly. It all feels so dirty and that feeling is not going away.

Legitimate reason for the trade - No. Collusion - Yes.

But this is very hard to prove on the legal side.

I really want to believe there was a collusion, but it would be criminal, literally criminal, and ground for all sorts of fraud, racketeering and antitrust charges, Nico has built enough wealth and reputation not to risk legal adventure to help LAL/Nike.

It was said that Buss and Dumont knew about it the same time as Pelinka and Harrison. No proof here, but my guess is Buss gave financial favors (out of the NBA setting), let's say depositing $XXX,XXX,XXX to Dumont under the table (wouldn't put it past casino guys to do this) that would cover Mavs team payroll for X number of years. Having zero basketball knowledge and an eternal love for money, fat man had to say yes.

My tin foil hat theory suggests that Buss had to spend for a superstar to keep the team relevant. The Busses have no other businesses. This is their main source of income. The Lakers have to work for them to earn. The Mavs are a side gig for the Adelsons. And Dumont seems to love money. By doing that deal, Dumont gets to have free payroll for X number of years at the cost of 1 guy, and in his mind he could sell that idea to the fans and still have the team earn money simultaneously. Adelson and Dumont are financially motivated. They bought the team to earn more money, and not because of fandom.

On the Lakers side, Buss has to make back whatever she bought Doncic for. And they have X number of years to do so. Harrison and Pelinka are employees taking the bullet for the actual culprits pulling the strings - the owners. I've flipped this scenario a lot of times on my mind. And at the end of the day, it can be because of money. And simply put, Doncic was sold, not to the highest bidder, but to a client who knows how to keep her mouth shut and can pay the bill.
