The initial reaction of many, especially Mavericks fans, to Dallas's blockbuster trade of superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in a three-team deal was shock. Many of those same people were also perplexed at the fact that the Mavericks seemingly eschewed any long-term visions of the future with the 25-year-old Doncic for a more short-term vision with the 31-year-old Davis.

Shaquille O’Neal says if Doncic’s weight played into the decision to send him to LA, ‘I definitely gotta blame management.’

The most shocking NBA trade in recent memory had some Mavericks fans protesting and holding a mock funeral outside American Airlines Center this weekend. One Dallas area brewery even teased the release of a “Sell the Team” adult beverage line in the wake of the departure of Luka Doncic.
