It's okay if you want some random guy you may never meet to die because he traded a basketball player in a really bad trade...

...but consider that this is a public message board... and that other people read and may not exactly browse it to read such things.

Our words on a message board have no real impact.

So... like... just try to understand that it's not cool to be wishing such things on some random human being just because of whatever he did in his job?

Need a whole new ownership to fix this mess. Dumont has insulted all of us. Not a chance I'm spending a damn penny more or wasting any time or energy on this sorry franchise until they're gone. Not that that matters at all to them. They don't need our money. That's the worst part I think. There's nothing we can do but watch this slow motion car crash continue until there's nothing left.

Dumont thinks he's a smart but has no clue how much money he lost from merchandise sales and other promotions. Lakers always get their money back no matter how much contract money they give out. And Luka being a way bigger global mark than Dirk was in this new age, Mavs will lose a lot over the years.

If I were to guess, the Lakers, Jeanie Buss in specific "paid" Dumont for Luka. So any loss he has was frontloaded to whatever he was paid for. I really think Luka was "sold" to the Lakers. That's why the 2 owners were aware of this whole thing and there wasn't an open bidding war for Luka. They just had to sell him to the owner who knew how to shut up after the sale.

Yeah the entire thing is so bizzare i won't even disagree.

Imagine this team, healthy Luka and Kyrie + Grimes and BWill signed to a normal deal already... Could easily ran it back all the way to the finals. Then Nico comes out with this BS trade and kills everything. So yeah, something we still don't know, must have happened under the table. No way a freaking pro GM would be this deluded to do something so incredibly dumb. And also if Dumont cares so much about money, he should have seen and calculated how much money franchise gets back GLOBALLY from marketing Luka.

So i agree with you in away that even the wildest fan conspiracy theories could very well be true at this point :D

Dumont strikes me as a dumb guy but rich. Loves money. So anytime someone offers him a large sum upfront, I'm pretty sure he's like duh okay where to I sign, without thinking 5 or 5 steps ahead. And for a guy who is clueless about basketball, fandom is a foreign concept. And this ignorance is what Nico took advantage of IMO.

Dude, this trade was so idiotic that even the wildest conspiracy theory could be true. That's all i'm saying. Didn't say it's true, but could be anything as complex that we don't know yet or simply something simplistic like what Dumont already said. (He simply didn't want to pay him). But then again, why would they want to pay AD almost similar sum? So you see? Any logical reason you can try to think about makes no sense lol.

This tells me Jeanie had to be desperate to do something to keep the Lakers running even after Lebron retires given that it is their only source of income. Luka will sell more tickets for them. Bronny James wouldn't attract the same star power as his dad no matter what the Bronsexuals say.

But just for conversation sake, let's say Jeanie offers Dumont $500M for Luka plus the money to cover for AD's salary. 110 out of 10 times, that idiot Dumont will say yes to this. And he'll take that financial report to his mother in law and say, look mommy, I made a lot of money today. In that Homer Simpson voice. Again, just hypotheticals, but not impossible. These are shady casino guys who are connected in every way. Rich people do not say no to free money. That's how you stay rich. Cuban ran a franchise that was on the red for most years. And that's why he's considered poor amongst this club. Casinos are a common avenue to launder money. Don't ask me how I know. So these guys are not squeaky clean. Lot of under the table stuff. Their casinos in Macau? Those establishments launder money for the Chinese elite.

You're reaching man, Jeanie turned down multiple contract extensions and bulked at high tax bills since she took over the Lakers from her brother, because they can't afford high payrolls, she's not the person to have money for under the table deals or the reach to pull them off, if any deal were to happen, and it won't in the NBA, it'll be in the other direction.
For example, after the Westbrook trade, the tax bill was high, Lakers could have matched the bargain contract Alex Caruso signed with the Bulls, Caruso even begged them to, she wouldn't allow it.

This trade is solely an ego trip of Nico Harrison, with the approval of an owner invested in his arena plans more than the team.

Conspiracy theories are not true by default. How people can't understand that big **** are something that are normal in business world daily? GMs are doing big mistakes daily by whatever reason. All what arrogant Mavs' GM needed was clueless owner. 2 arrogant idiots with all the power were enough. The reason was that they truly believed they are smarter than anyone else.

Just look at Suns, another **** by new, I'm the smartest person alive, owner.

Read again, that's why i said i don't think it's true, but whole situation is so stupid, that it also could be true and i explained further why. It's just "fun" thinking about what other options other than Nico and Dumont being total retards could be possible. But still doesn't mean i 100% believe it. Point is, people still talk to this day about all sorts of stuff that went down that day and every illogical reason why it happened, at some level, becomes believable. But obviously that's just the fun stuff people are theorizing about, doesn't mean we have to believe it.
