On a simple level? It makes Dallas way easier to scheme for and beat in the playoffs.
While giving a big old fuck you to their fanbase and setting up their most hated rival for decades.

I will say this: The mavs are better this season.

And I know the rest of the league owners are furious!

I don’t know, @justinverrier.bsky.social sounded super stoked about this move for the Mavs on his late night pod with Logan. You guys aren’t disagreeing are you?

Lol he didn't sound stoked but his reticence to clown it raised my eyebrows too. Made me refresh my podcast feed a couple times in hopes there's be a groupchat ep this AM.

Maybe they know more about Luka’s injuries than they say, maybe they really overrated AD, but I’m going with the Donald Sterling explanation: they’re just cheap and unsmart.

The worst part for Dallas is they have pissed off their fans so badly they won’t even enjoy AD. He’s going into such a weird environment despite being the guy Nico wanted.

Need that group chat to drop expeditiously!

It’s a good thing the rest of the world is already in the dumbest of realities or we probably couldn’t even comprehend it

And yet, like most things in this world that spawn conspiracies, it simply comes down to hubris and incompetence.

The thing haters are missing is that Luka is overrated and it’s a team sport. It might work in LA precisely because Bron is the leader that—after 7 years—Luka has proven he can’t be.
