The Dallas Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Donsic has influenced the franchise well beyond building their roster.
The Dallas Mavericks made waves last season when they traded Luka Donsic for the Los Angeles Lakers in February.
The Mavericks traded Donsic to land Anthony Davis, a widely panned trade. Things have been very dramatic in Dallas ever since.
On an incredible turn of events, the Mavericks won the NBA Draft Lottery and earned the right to draft Cooper Flag as the next franchise star.
They eventually stabilized the ship, but the early months after Don Sic was traded were very scary, which even left the team by one Mavericks assistant coach.
Former Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Godsham God appeared on the show alongside rap legends and Camron to discuss his NBA performance and coaching career.
When discussing Luka Doncic’s trade and why he left Mavericks, he admitted that Doncic’s treatment was a sign that he needed to leave, while thanking everyone in the organization.
“About Dallas, it was just a creepy time, man. I love Dallas and I was cool with everyone over there.
“When (Don Sic Trade) went down, it was one of them. If someone treats your guy like that, it’s a countdown.”
Shammgod left Mavericks this summer, joining Orlando Magic as an assistant coach and earning promotions from his previous role as a player development coach.
More than six months after the trade started, and yet there is still little to know what went down within the organization.
Mark Cuban hinted at Maverick’s termoil over Don Chic’s trade because there were people like him who didn’t want the superstar to be traded.
However, Mavericks GM Nico Harrison and his supporter conditioner saw the vision of Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving as their leaders and pushed the deal.
Ultimately, we only know the true details of the trade and what happened behind the scenes in the years when the parties are free to discuss it.
