How is trading to get older and not getting a boat load of picks in any way about the future? Unless that future involves moving the team?

theprodigiousape.bsky.social•96 days ago

They can start a rebuild earlier instead of getting locked into a long term contract with a PG that weighs as much as a center

& doesn't play d & averages like 5 TO a game

dersonhendorion.bsky.social•96 days ago

Trading Doncic for the future is sorta like taking Sampson over Jordan cause you needed a center. Except worse. Because we already know doncic is an all timer. I have pity for Mavs fans.

Get older, to get younger. Makes perfect sense🤦🏽‍♂️

This is why owners should just cut checks and trust their personnel guys

You made the wrong decision. The only way it makes sense is they kidnapped your family and demanded this trade or else. It’s literally the dumbest trade in nba history.

See folks, this is proof that people who have money aren’t any smarter than you. Often they are dumber.

blase24.bsky.social•95 days ago

lol

chefnewgaard.bsky.social•96 days ago

Right. Traded the younger guy for the older guy and terrible draft picks that we all know won’t amount to anything

350 million reasons.

Yea, their future in Vegas after they tank the team and all attendance and support, then move them there. We've seen this movie before, Patrick. It's called Major League.

lukejgibson.bsky.social•96 days ago

Every justification in defense of this trade worse than the last

This guy is a rich idiot.

bartorchard.bsky.social•96 days ago

Was his vision of the future being an irrelevant franchise?

osott.bsky.social•96 days ago

Yet another example proving that you don’t necessarily have to be smart to be a billionaire.

maxwellfaulk.bsky.social•96 days ago

Loool

emita23.bsky.social•96 days ago

If it was about the future why didn’t they shop him for 6 first round picks and a player or two?? This is complete nonsense!

spenceman58.bsky.social•96 days ago

By "the future" he meant tanking and moving to Vegas

mxmllnr.bsky.social•96 days ago

They deserve to be clowned

cab-ree-yo.bsky.social•96 days ago

About the future?

ryanbposting.bsky.social•95 days ago

"The future" he says trading for someone six years older

gregy14.bsky.social•96 days ago

Yes, making the team OLDER is a decision about the future lol. This guys a bafoon. Not giving a team that made the finals a chance to take the next step is sacrilegious. The kyrie injury is also related to doing this bc they had to overload his minutes. What a disaster.

d3nv3rnugg3t.bsky.social•95 days ago

Did I just today listen to the DLLS Dallas Mavs podcast about that. 🤣

Make this make sense
