All the dirty laundry is being aired now to quell the fans. I don’t think Nico nor the owners expected this backlash. And for that they are truly stupid.
I'm not saying Luka is MJ, but this would be equivalent to the Bulls trading MJ in his prime. Nico won't survive this no matter how much they bash Luka. If the return was massive and he handled it properly with the respect Luka deserved, it might be different, but that didn't happen.

Dallas Mavericks trade acquisitions Anthony Davis and Max Christie are questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers due to the deal pending.

Not sure how we could close Pandora’s box.
If the trade was unwound, would Luka even want to stay? Would firing Nico fix all of that? I don’t think so.

It can’t be fixed but if there were any justice in the world, this version of the trade would be 86’ed.

Can Silver say that the original trade must be done because the current isn't fair compensation? Make them add back Knecht and the other 1st round or void the trade? I've never seen push back on a trade like this one.

CP3 to the Lakers was voided but the Hornets ownership circumstance was very different at the time.

The only people I have seen say that the Mavs won this trade are Charles Barkley and Kendrick Perkins. That should veto any trade!

That list looks like 121 names...
It is really only 120:
IT will be very difficult for that package to net #208 to Dallas.

Cuban says he wasn't involved in the Doncic trade
The one time I wanted Cuban to meddle and he doesn’t.
Fitting.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (personal reasons) has been downgraded to out against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Awesome. He's getting traded too. Nico is ruthless.

And there it is…
PJ and Grimes make $20 million. Plus you could still attach Powell $4 million and guys like Hardy, Exum, Omax.

Probably.
But also his wife is pregnant and I believe is due soon. So there’s that.
I still wouldn’t put it past Nico to trade him though. He’ll he’d trade PJ’s newborn too because he disagreed with it most likely.
