So, as a (now former) Mavs fan, there is no justification for this trade other than the Adelsons bought the team off Cuban last year and they don't want to pay Luka the supermax deal he's about to get.
There is also a lot of talk that they actually wanted to bring an expansion NBA team to Vegas, and when they weren't able to do that they bought into the Mavericks and are now hoping to get to a position where they can move the Mavs there.
That doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but I also don't care anymore. I'm getting rid of my Mavs gear, have unsubscribed from everything related to the team and will no longer watch their games. I had a great time during the Dirk era, and last year was fun, but I think I'm honestly done with basketball altogether. I'll probably support the Raptors when they're in the playoff picture but that's about it.
Fuuuuck the Adelsons, Fuuuuck Adam Silver, Fuuuuuuuuuck the Lakers, and good riddance to the league... As for Dwayne Wade I no longer have any reason to have any issue with the man.
