Luka Doncic, a five-time first-team All-NBA player at just 25 years old, was shipped off to L.A., and in return, the Mavericks received perennial All-Star big Anthony Davis. The Utah Jazz were involved in there, too.

The Mavs are now run completely by general manager Nico Harrison, who looks and sounds like a man who does not appreciate the scale of the trade he just made. Mavericks fans are angry in a way that people around here reserve for Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys.
