    Buoyed by the anticipation of playing with their new all-star big man, the Dallas Mavericks immediately lose their next game by 43.

    You honestly think Anthony Davis is the shittiest possible deal? Seriously?

    Not the best

    Trading a star in his prime for a star two years or so from retiring is stupid.

    Fox, McLaughlin to the Spurs

    Huerter, Jones, and Collins to Chicago

    LaVine to Sac

    Guess they don't need Grant no more.

    Its a complete fail from the Mavs - they could have got one of the biggest hauls in NBA history. There is a reason tons of independent media grade the trade as an F for the Mavs.

    If they were set on getting Davis at least get more than one FRP??? They could have got the 2031 pick, 4 swaps, Reaves, Knecht - its just insane.

    Look at an older Durant that wasn't close the level of player as Luka nor as young. Phoenix got Bridges, Cam, 4 FRP, multiple swaps.

    Then Bridges gets dealt for 5 FRP.

    This is the worst trade in NBA history. There is no excuse from the Mavs end.

    You mean the Anthony Davis that is 32 years old, selected to ONE allstar game in the prior three seasons, and has been injured so often he played a whole 36,40,56 games prior to last season?

    Were talking about him being traded for a perennial MVP candidate (of which Davis has NEVER been) that was not even at his prime yet at 25 years old and just got his team to the finals. This is clearly the most lopsided trade in NBA history.

    Realgm is rife with speculators theories in a thread. Foil hat needed for that one.

    What is Mark Cuban saying about this? He's the best owner in the NBA, way better than Jody and the Vulcans, according to some.

    And how about that "Big big market" Dallas has?
