They are all working toward a mega casino in Dallas.
They have a limited window to get this done — Texas congress inly meets and votes every few years.
The goal is for the mavs stadium to have a ceasars palace type venue and a team evaluation of 20 billion.
Thats why this trade happened. We’re seeing big business at work here

I've heard this theory but it seems odd to be that they'd be better positioned to do this without Luka than with him.
Seems more likely they just got cheap and decided they didn't want to pay him, or Harrison is as confused as he seems in his statements on the trade.
I think what he's saying is, without Luka, there's no hope for this team, or at least, no clear future you can see. People are probably refunding their season tickets, boycotting the Mavs, hence making moving the team in the future more palatable for NBA head office when the threat becomes real. With Luka however, this team will be successful regardless in the next 10 years barring any catastrophic injury to Luka, Mavs will flourish as a franchise, making moving the team at that time much more questionable. Hence why they moved Luka, to preserve the threat of moving the team to Las Vegas, and use it to push for a Casino in Dallas.
Mark Cuban is really the villain in all of this, IF this is what's happening, then he sold the team pretty much unexpectedly knowing this is what's going to happen. The new owners does not care about the team, Luka or even the fans, they're just using the team as leverage. They're looking at the bigger picture and that's why they're filthy rich and the fans are not, we just look up to someone like Luka who makes millions, while they're looking for billions behind the scene.
