00:00Saturday night, as we all know it, marked one of the biggest trades in NBA history.
00:04The Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison ignited a trade sending five-time All-Star Luka Doncic,
00:10Maxi Cleaver, and Markeith Morris to the Los Angeles Lakers in return for Anthony Davis,
00:15Max Christie, and the 2029 Lakers first-round draft pick.
00:19Doncic was eligible to sign a $345 million Supermax contract extension this summer with
00:25the Dallas Mavericks, but however, according to Harrison, based off of Luka's contract details,
00:31he felt like they got out in front of what could have been a tumultuous year.
00:34At the pregame presser this Sunday afternoon in Cleveland, Ohio,
00:38we heard from head coach Jason Kidd, who apparently had no idea about the trade until it
00:42occurred, as well as Nico Harrison, who was giving some insight on the deal.
00:46Harrison insisted that the players we're bringing in, we believe, exemplify that culture. He said
00:52there are people that fit into the culture and people that add to the culture. They both
00:56iterated that defense wins championships and they are looking at the window to win now.
01:01As expected, the Mavs fans are not taking this decision lightly as a protest and mock
01:06funeral was held outside of American Airlines Center Sunday afternoon, calling it the death
01:10of our culture. In a farewell letter to Dallas, Doncic expressed his gratitude
01:15and his appreciation for the city and the fans, saying,
01:18I thought I would spend my career here and I wanted so badly to bring you a championship.
01:23Extra information that we know now is that Anthony Davis is waiving his trade bonus to
01:28help the Mavericks make any additional moves if necessary. This brings us to the question of,
01:32are the Mavericks trying to bring in an additional piece for a trip back to the NBA Finals?
01:37For all things Mavs, tune into Spectrum Cable, Channel 15,
01:40Wednesdays and Thursday nights at 11 p.m. I'm Faith Knight and you've just been credentialed.
