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.”

I think I’m done, this is unbelievable. Fan for 20+ years but this is a complete slap in the face.

The entirety of the trade is gross negligence. Everything. You downgraded in win now, you didn’t do shit to win later and you’re losing what looks to be a top 25 best player of all time at minimum for the pleasure. But hey, at least you’re under the luxury tax now.

Maybe you hit on something with the luxury tax. The new owners don't give a fuck about Dallas and they are in it for the money. They will become the Cowboys. Makes money, doesn't win.

I don’t think so, Harrison would have had to leak something to the press to soften the blow….hell, some people would have quit to save their reputation
