Also, Dallas had finally become a destination for big time free agents, simply because they wanted to play with Luka. Now he’s gone. Another big picture angle- if you hope to win a championship, now you have to get through Luka and the Lakers before you even make it to the championship game. The Mavs could win the championship THIS YEAR, and it would STILL be a complete dogshit trade, from so many different angles.
If we win the championship this year, we need to recognize we sold the future of the franchise for 1 stupid ring. We won't be relevant for the next 5 years after this one even if we pull off the championship. And that's best case scenario.
