      That's why the US needs to have relegation, like the rest of the normal world has. you want to go to another city, you will start from the bottom, league 5, and they will need at least 10 years to reach the top, the league 1/NBA, and there is a good chance to never reach the top, because the the best players will never play in league 5 or 4 or 3. That's called fair play.

      Classic USA, everything is about money. The Lakers are much bigger compared to the Mavericks, so ofc they made this trade to make more money and so on. US sport in general is just garbage. Europe is 100x better. In European sports, there is no way that this can happen, because players are locked with contracts, so even is club wants to sell them, player must agree, if they do not agree, they stay in the club...

      it was said because they didnt want luka's agent strong arming them and potentially going to whatever team goes to trade for him "I wont resign so trade for me at your own will" essentially giving him all the leverage, its happened before. Itll happen again, but that's why it was kept hush.

Think about it, what business can profit millions sometimes billions with a losing product. Teams bank on the fact that you're "loyal" to take your money but they aren't loyal to the fans or the players. They will move cities if needed, they will trade players without caring what the fans think or want.

    The idea is that the Mavericks traded Luka Doncic on purpose, not just as a basketball move but as a strategic play by the new owners, the Adelson family, who are deeply rooted in the casino business. Since Texas does not allow sports betting, the theory suggests that by deliberately tanking the team they are trying to collapse the franchise entirely. The goal is to make fans lose interest, attend fewer games, and ultimately pressure Texas politicians into legalizing sports betting or even justify moving the team to Las Vegas, where gambling is huge. With protests and a massive drop in fan support already evident, it really shows how sports, politics, and big business can get tangled together.

    I was skeptical about this video until the 11:40 mark -- when the narrator says that the Luka trade was part of a plan to move the Mavs to Las Vegas. To do so, the ownership must show declining support for the team in Dallas, including reduced attendance at games. This explains a headline from today: Mavs to Refund Season Ticket Costs to Unhappy Fans. Yup, it looks very much like a strategy from the Adelson family. And it makes a mockery of Mavs basketball until they move to Vegas.

      If moving the Mavs new owner plan was to move the Mavs to Vegas, then why couldn't they just have moved the Mavs at a snap of a finger with Luka? At least they still have Luka and win championships in Vegas with Luka, right? This video's theory is kinda far fetch.

    The only conspiracy theory that remotely makes sense is that the NBA approached the Mavs and conspired to trade Luka to the Lakers to generate interest and TV ratings. In exchange for doing this, the Mavericks would still get Anthony Davis and remain potential contenders in the present, but the NBA also guaranteed the Mavericks that they would rig the draft lottery for them sometime in the next say 6-10 seasons and they would be gifted another generational prospect, much like they've gifted the Spurs and Knicks in the past. If it was a conspiracy to generate interest, it sure worked, as this trade stole the majority of the headlines for the entire week leading up to the Super Bowl!
    In the end, though... I really do think it was just Nico Harrison going rogue. The ownership gave him the full power to do what he wants, and so he's bringing in the guys with whom he already had a friendship. I totally see his vision, if he could've gotten AD for Kyrie... but I don't think they can run the gaunlet of the playoffs without Luka.

      No way he makes a huge move like this without ownership knowing. Mavs wanted to avoid paying a huge contract to Luka in order to clear up their balance sheet.

    • @imdbtruth

      @jesses5463 Ownership knew, but the Mavs ownership is not involved in the basketball decision making. They gave Nico Harrison total control over basketball decisions.
      The people who own the Mavericks are worth $30 Billion, they're not worried about the extra hundred Million to pay Luka. Paying a supermax is just the natural cost of owning an NBA team. At the rate that NBA teams increase in value, paying that contract is really just the upkeep on your investment.

      @jesses5463 12 часов назад

      @ You're thinking about it wrong. They're worth $30 billion and don't care anything about basketball. Luka is just an asset to them and his contract was just a liability. They were simply removing that liability to get favorable financing terms for their new resort. This is just business.

    if you guys don't agree with this trade, the best thing we can do is NOT watch any random NBA games that the team you support isn't on. If you're a heats fan, don't watch any game that doesn't have the heats playing. If you're a celtics fan, don't watch any game that doesn't have the celtics playing in. I'm not a conspiracy type of guy, but this HAS to be so much deeper than any GM. There is nothing in it for the Mavericks team they've built (around the star player they just traded), and it DEFINITELY doesn't do anything for the fan base. Who arguably, will suffer the most from this trade. If Silver does gain a positive from the popularity and ratings, then don't give that to him. If Silver thinks ratings will go up if Doncic moves to LA, I swear on my life; if the lakers are in the playoffs, I will not watch a single game with them, unless my team is playing against them. I will not give that bald headed freak any view from this idiotic, blindsided, conniving trade. And just so you know, I'm by no means a Mavericks fan. I just feel terrible for the players, and the fans, who had no clue this was going to happen.
