The best conspiracy theory I've seen about this is that ownership is sabotaging the team to move them to Las Vegas.  After Cuban sold his stake, the primary owners are casino people.  Sports betting is not legal in Texas.

Moving the team is probably a lot cheaper than paying off Texas politicians to legalize gambling too.

I think Dallas did well here and they clearly didn’t want to pay Luka 300 m to get hurt all the time.  Plus AD is still one to the best bigs in the association

Mav’s GM is trying to win MULTIPLE championships in the next 1-4 years.  He’s not thinking 10 years out.

Their roster is pretty nice with:

1.) Kyrie Irving

2.) Klay Thompson

3.) PJ Washington

4.) Anthony Davis

5.) Dereck Lively / Daniel Gafford

And like you said, they were gonna have to make Luka the highest paid player in the league this off-season at $340mil+.  He ain’t all that.  AD is prime to win a chip NOW.

Klay is super washed and Kyrie is past his prime as well.  It's possible this team gets hot and wins it, but I don't see it.  In the video I linked, the guy says he thinks the trade is dumb if they don't win an NBA championship this year.  The reason being that the market for Luka would have been a lot more lucrative in the summer and with all the interested teams competing.  I think its tough to disagree with that.

They've been trying that route and it hasn't worked they want to build a new arena inside a casino in Dallas.  I believe that they're trying to tank the team to facilitate a move.  I wonder if Cuban has regrets. He loved the team and probably is pissed

Tanking interest in the team and moving it is a tired and true way of getting out of a city, so yeah, I can see them doing that.

      Bears at Panthers week 1

      I love  almost everything  we did in the offseason but we still have Bryce.  They have to be favored.     Sorry I just can’t see him as an asset yet.  His first chance to prove me wrong.    And WIliams was a LOT better last year than 2024.  He will probably still be getting better before he hits his plateau.

      Is Chris Brazzell just another DJ Chark?

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Outside of both having very good straight line speed, I don't see much in common. Chark was mostly a play action Chuck it deep type of receiver. Brazzell, while raw with route running, is fully capable of running most routes. He is way better at using his body to shield defenders from the ball than chark and does a better job attacking the ball and creating a wide catch radius. Agree Brazzell will need to prove he can beat the press and I imagine he will see a lot of it when he is on the field. I still think he has quite a bit of development to go through (particularly with his route running, press beat techniques, and reading zone coverage), so I don't expect to see him on the field much this year (barring injuries)
