The problem is that nobody expected, even the biggest AD haters, that he would get injured in his first game for Mavs. When Luka got traded for AD, Nico couldn't expected he would be out that long. So Nba couldn't promised him Flagg. Or are you saying that conspiracy theory is going even deeper and AD going down immediately was always the plan?
Higuain was sold because Juventus has paid his buyout clause and of course because he wanted to leave, not much Napoli could do about.
Man, did you even realize that AD was already injured when they acquired him..?
Then you don't know how De Laurentis, Napoli owner, operates on the market. He was more than happy to sell Higuain and make all of that money, and Napoli fans knew it already. Buyout clause or not, he would have soldi Higuain anyway for that kind of money.
Fun fact: Maradona could have joined Milan superteam in the late 1980's, Berlusconi was basically collecting all the best talents in Europe and Ferlaino (Napoli pres at the time) had zero problem in selling to Milan, actually Napoli was pretty broken, but Diego didn't want to leave.
So they forced him to play to insure he gets long term injury?
You're looking at wrong direction. You should find a case where one of the best players in the world, who's in his prime, who even brought big success to the club only few months before and is beloved by fans, doesn't want to leave and is sold without him even knowing anything about. Chances for something like that happens are a lot lower than 1.8%. I don't know if something like that ever happened in Nba before.
Cmon dont be silly, dude.
What happened to AD in his debut was just inevitable, sooner or later it would have happened anyway.
That's why I started to believe in conspiracy, that's something unprecedented in the NBA.
Also the biggest franchise in the league needed help cause they were heading towards the treadmill (no pick, no blue chip prospect, old core).
Sorry but I cant believe the narrative that clueless owner decided to trust the ego of a manager and sell for peanuts his golden goose.
