Call me crazy, but I’m still taking Luka Doncic over Victor Wembanyama as my franchise player.
Wemby has the edge defensively, but Luka’s clutch factor and ability to be the engine of an elite offense are simply too valuable to pass up.
This will go down as the worst trade in sports history.
The Dallas Mavericks gave up on Luka Doncic. The player who took them to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2011 last season, made five All-NBA First Teams in a row, and looked to be a lock to go down as an all-time great.
Rather than pushing for the Finals again this season and continuing to build around him for the next 10 years or more, they traded him before he hit his prime.
Mavericks fans are never going to get over this.
Working on a video now. Check on the Mavs fans in your life. They’re going to wake up to the news they traded a perennial MVP candidate in the middle of the night for a 31 year old AD and a pick.
