Luka always seems to be in the best shape......which at 25 does not seem to affect him.

Crazy deal to me, makes no sense.

Maybe being spiteful. He’s still fully in charge of basketball ops.

This is actually a wild one. Top 5 players just don’t get dealt unless something insane happened.

Per reports that I read he had no operational duties.



From the article:
“ Despite Cuban's past devotion to keeping Doncic in the Mavericks, he no longer holds majority ownership of the franchise. The team's new leadership, led by general manager Nico Harrison and governor Patrick Dumont, made the bold decision to move forward without the five-time All-Star, according to WFAA”


The stupid reason their GM said from what I saw is that defense wins championships. Really in the NBA today?!? That comment should get hit fired.


"I believe that defense wins championships," Mavs GM Nico Harrison told ESPN regarding his motivation to trade Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis. "I believe that getting an All-Defensive center and an All-NBA player with a defensive mindset gives us a better chance. We're built to win now and in the future."

The Doncic deal is so big it is the top story on prohockeyrumors, profootballrumors, and mlbtraderumors websites.

Yeah I read after the finals he was no longer involved in ops. Didn’t know that before.

Mavs gm says defense wins championships as justification for the trade - the Mavs are down 109-62 halfway through the 3rd quarter.
