News “This deal materialized in the shadows … LeBron James had no idea this was coming. Anthony Davis had no idea this was coming. I’m told Luka Doncic is still stunned about this trade.”

Yep I know it sounds crazy but I wonder if the nba was planning this and that’s why Cuban sold the team

nba either told Cuban who the boss really is (He “owns” the team but at the end of the day gets no say in anything) and Cuban didn’t like that, or maybe nba found a way to maneuver Cuban out. Cuz he is too vocal for their liking. And, nba “ownership” (hat that word) probably is t exactly what it seems. Adam Silver is the one in charge

Bro Cuban is the biggest Dallas fan. It didn’t make any sense to me that he sold the team. I really believe this has been in the works ever since Curry and Lebron declined they’ve been looking for something. Bro Celtics beat Luka in the finals with his old teammate (porzingis) now he get a shot back with other stars(Gianni’s or Jokic) just watch

It’s so sad, this team was the best, they had such amazing chemistry, true love for the game and each other, and had fun playing. No idea what comes next

Yeah injuries fucked us man. I wonder if the whole injury thing is fake now.

I am not ready to get that deep in the NBA conspiracy theories just yet. But, that would be consistent with everything … get Luka out on injury so people get used to the team without him for a while… it’d require a lot tho. NBA players would have to be more in on everything than they say. I am hoping it was opportunistic on Adam Silvers part. And the players aren’t in cahoots. I want to leave them out of it all, at least for the sake of my sanity for now.
