So the Dallas Mavericks have completely lost their minds

If you were entertaining trading him why not put him on the auction block? You would've definitely got way better offers than that. I mean, if you're going to trade with the Lakers at least demand a decent young building block back from them like Dalton Knecht or SOMETHING. This is just baffling unless the league brass knows something about Doncic that drastically reduces his value. Something off the court or some underlying injury issue that is going to cut his prime short or something. Because this just flat out doesn't make sense.

Supposedly this trade caught Lebron by surprise too.

I could see it. I mean, if it's true that the Lakers initiated the conversation let's just play this out. News broke well into Friday evening. This honest to god feels like something where the Lakers' GM is throwing down beers with buddies and they hype him up to make the wildest trade offer he can think up just because fug it, why not? HOLY FUG THEY ACTUALLY SAID YES!!!! LOLOLOLOL

At first glance it's a baffling trade to say the least. Even if the Mavs were concerned about his conditioning and injuries he's still only 25 years old. The Mavs haven't been known to be a poorly run org. That is not to say they are right or wrong here. But there's got to be more than they are letting on about. This will be interesting to revisit in a few years.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
