Mavericks Lose Dante Exum To Broken Bone In Left Hand

[RealGM Wiretap]

Dante Exum will be out indefinitely with a broken bone in his left hand. Exum had become the starting point guard for the Dallas Mavericks following the season-ending injury to Kyrie Irving.

The Mavericks also recently lost Olivier-Maxence Prosper to a season-ending injury.

Furthermore, the return timelines for Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford are unclear.

Because the Mavericks are hard capped at the first apron after acquiring Klay Thompson via a sign-and-trade last offseason, they are cannot sign another player because even a 10-day contract would put them over.

This is comical at this point

the basketball Gods know what an abomination that trade was

Mavs fans did not deserve this.

The move to Vegas is not long away

[BKlutch]

So the Adelsons screwed Anthony Davis, upended Luka Doncic, screwed Marc Cuban, screwed Mavs fans, screwed the NBA, but yay sports betting and moving to Las Vegas.

In what world is this right? Unless all the other billionaire owners thought this was perfectly fine. At what point does the NBA lose its appeal and their tickets become too pricey for 99% of fans?
