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

But he’s hurt all the time too and about to turn 32.

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.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
