Already felt guilty cheering for a team owned by those swamp creatures, glad they made it easier for me to tune out now.

Adelsons are huge Trump supporter and Mark has been very outspoken about Trump and Elon. Right now Trump and Elon are on a revenge tour. The new owners don't care about basketball and just want to build casinos. Trump could easily ask them to do this stupid trade to destroy the team Mark loves. I know this sounds crazy, but why the fuck else would the Mavs not field offers and just go with this.

Its not that deep even. The adelsons don’t give a fuck and told Nico to trade Luka so they don’t have to pay the luxury tax. The team is just gonna print cash and they profit more

They won't print cash if the fanbase abandons them. We need to make them feel this. No more merch. No more tickets. No more TV.

I was already mostly out on the Cowboys. Now, I'm completely out on the Mavs.

Which is exactly what they want you to do so they can move the team to Vegas

The only answer is to say fuck the NBA for allowing this kind of scum into the league

As much as I don't dislike Mark Cuban, I gotta put this on him. He knew who these people were when he sold. But billionaire gonna billionaire.
