It has been a while since the Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis trade went down. But the buzz surrounding it still hasn’t died. Never told before tidbits keep dropping still. But this recent development is huge. Patrick Dumont, the Mavericks‘ owner and governor, has finally spoken out after the jaw-dropping trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers. In an interview with the Dallas Morning News, Dumont broke his silence on the blockbuster move that sent shockwaves through the NBA.
On Sunday, Dumont finally broke his silence, and let’s just say, he didn’t sugarcoat a thing. The publication described his tone as “fiery, passionate, and blunt,” and he made it clear that the trade was all about “character” and “culture.”
And LeBron James took it personally. Maybe Michael Jordan and LeBron are in the same tier after all. James has a knack for making his point without saying it outright. Instead of direct shots, he often uses subtle messages, especially when he’s pushing for changes—like tweaking the Lakers’ roster.
On Sunday, he had fans talking again after posting a cryptic message on Instagram. His story featured what’s said to be an old Turkish proverb: “When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king. The palace becomes a circus.”
Shade at the Mavs owners? Probably. Everyone thought that Shams had gotten hacked when he first broke the news of the big trade. Because you don’t let go a perennial MVP candidate who’s just 25 unless they ask you to. Even Mark Cuban tried to get this deal cancelled.
Marc Stein revealed that Cuban made a desperate, last-minute attempt to stop the Mavericks from trading Luka. But by the time he stepped in, it was already a done deal.
“Sources say Cuban urged Harrison not to go ahead with the swap … only to find out that the deal had already been sealed with the Lakers by verbal handshake.” reports Stein.
This is a developing story…
