The question is will the Hollyweird phony celebrity presence overwhelm Luka Doncic and chew him up and spit him out?

FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST - The trade enables Anthony Davis to play his preferred position at forward. Davis does not like playing center

OH PLEASeeeee….

After I got over saying WHAT!, I went into review mode. After gathering all of the evidence available at that time it raised the question why would the Dallas Mavericks trade Luka Doncic who has the makings of being one of the greatest players of all time for the Lakers big man Anthony Davis.

After doing the math the result was this trade was senseless, it reeks of being personal not business. For starters neither former owner Mark Cuban who sold the majority share of the team to Israeli Zionist Jew Miriam Adelson knew nothing about the proposed trade. Cuban has stayed on as a minority owner and retains 27% share of the team but has nothing to do with the day to day operations of the club.

The second stinker was Mavericks coach Jason Kidd knew nothing about the trade. The deal was an inside job or sneak attack between Lakers GM and VP of Operations Rob Pelinka aka HIM, according to Magic Johnson, and Mavericks GM Nico Harrison. Now the bra-the man was in touch with Pelinka for about a month. His plan was to keep their negotiating dealings under the wraps so the Mavericks dirty laundry would not be exposed to the public.

Harrison feels that the team can win without Doncic. Why would you want to win without the face of the franchise being a part of their success? Harrison said they can win with Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson. That raises the question again…. WHY? Why break up a team that lost to the Boston Celtics in the 2024 NBA Finals?

Harrison reportedly had nearly a month of dialogue with Los Angeles Lakers general manager Pelinka about the move. He didn't shop the Slovenian for a trade with other teams around the league. He dealt only with Pelinka and the Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont, Adelson's son-in-law, who gave his support for the move in the weeks leading up to it.

The question is who is Nico Harrison?

In 2002, Harrison 52 began a 19-year career at Nike, Inc., rising to Nike's Vice President of North American basketball operations. In 2021, Harrison was appointed as the general manager and president of basketball operations for the Dallas Mavericks, succeeding Donnie Nelson.

This trade is not to demean the value and quality of player that Davis is. He's a solid almost great player. He, like Doncic, has a history of injuries during his career. Doncic is currently on the injured list with a calf strain that has sidelined him since Dec. 25.

Davis is active and a major contributor to the Lakers success. He is the Robin to LeBron James' Batman persona and presence. Davis is enjoying possibly the best season of his career (averaging 25.7 PPG and 11.9 RPG and shooting 52.8% from the field).

Shelf life is a major value factor. Davis is to be 32 March 11th and Doncic is 25 and will be 26 February 28th. If they both play five years Davis will be 37 and Doncic only 30. Davis would be in the older than dirt category and Doncic would be in the prime of his career. Doncic has a good 10 years ahead of him while Davis doesn't. It's doubtful that Davis will be a LeBron James and play until he's 40.

Doncic is arriving as the LeBron era nears its end. And while Dallas is banking on Davis the Lakers are betting they'll see the best years of Doncic's career in the seasons to come.

A probable reason for the trade is Doncic would have been eligible for a supermax extension. The Mavs apparently prefer to duck the monetary experience.

Another excuse to trade the superstar is complaints regarding his heath. Apparently he's caught the Shaquille O'Neal disease of wanting to come into training camp out of shape and play into shape during the season. This attitude is the main reason for the blow-up between O'Neal and Kobe Bryant.

If there was a major move by the Mavericks we thought it would be from Kyrie Irving who was ostracized for doing research on the Jewish religion when he was with the Brooklyn Nets. He was raked over the coals, fined by the league and suspended for several games without pay.

When Adelson bought the franchise we believed that would make a difference with players who are sympathetic with the Palestinian cause.

We assumed the given his religious research experience coupled by the team being purchased by a Zionist Israeli Jew that he would have problems with that. Given her involvement with recruiting Jewish youths to move to Israel was paramount in this belief.

Basically she's recruiting American Jewish youths to move to Israel and murder Arab Sand Niggers given a required two year Israeli military obligation.

Speculation questions are did Doncic say anything negative about the Jews, Israel or Adelson's recruitment of Jewish youths to murder Arab Sand Niggers.

The jury and wash remain out. As time goes on the dirt will surface and the Mavericks and Harrison will remain under the microscope.

GAME CHANGE SUGGESTIONS:

Make a rule where a team can only take 30 three-point shots a game. This will create more strategy. A shot clock can be doubled in two sections where one side is about 3-point shots taken and the other being the 24 second clock.
