You know, the Mavs (Cuban) nearly scuttled the Doncic trade because they (he) absolutely refused to include Wesley Matthews in the deal. You have a team on the hook to give you a potential all time great and you walk away over Wesley Matthews? The Mavs agreed to give up a future lottery pick instead to save the deal. They gave up a lottery pick instead of Wesley Freaking Matthews??? Sheer idiots. It’s not surprising they refused to extend Brunson just a few years later putting the franchise into a pretty desperate situation. With such a track record, what are the odds the Mavs get the trade right this time?
Future first was a must include in any deal for Atlanta, they weren't trading 3 for 5 just for Wesley. It was just a fun fan theory. Atlanta wasn't that stupid.
