You forgot run a cancerous second banana to the ground, get him injured and overpay him
Phase 1: Get rid to star player
Phase 2: Raise ticket price
Phase 3: Demand new Arena
Phase 4: Bemoan lack of fan support
Phase 5: Las Vegas Mavericks

It actually sounds super cool
Not as cool as Seattle Supersonics though
Irving Mavericks tbh.
I could see it tbh.
wish silver could just force them out of the mavericks. or at the very least, hurry and agree to have an expansion team in vegas, and tell them they can have that team if they sell the mavericks, otherwise he will force them out of ownership. ridiculous how they can just get away with destroying a team and alienating a fanbase because they are crooked brats who are trying to get their way. at least when the sonics moved to OKC, they were still actively building a good team, unlike this garbage. its horrible for the NBA to allow this.
Adam Silver isn't going to force the hand of one of the most powerful families in this nation sadly. It's so ing terrible for the league to have such a cheap ass owner though, another piece of like Sterling. The richest owners can be some of the worst. When billionaire Red McCombs owned the Spurs he almost pulled similar crap trying to dump in his prime David Robinson to the Knicks for busted knees Ewing because he didn't want to pay Robinson, also knowing Ewing would walk as soon as his contract was up. He also didn't want to pay Rod Strickland and didn't even trade him to get something useful in exchange, instead letting him walk for nothing to be replaced with cheap ass scrub Vinny Del Negro. Meanwhile Peter Holt whose net worth was about on par with the team's yearly payroll was still willing to pay to build le teams. As was the Spurs previous owner before McCombs (Angelo Drossos), who was willing to pay to let Bob Bass go and get Mike Mitc from Cleveland and Artis Gilmore from Chicago to put next to Ice and try to get past the Lakers in the early 80s.
Saw a scenario explained where the NBA expands back to Seattle and to Mexico City while the Mavs move to Vegas and Dallas eventually gets the Pels.
the buzzards are already circling rofl

If that was a WNBA game that would be a record attendance there behind them.
Mavs aren't going to look to leave unless Sands' effort to get casino gambling in Texas is thoroughly dead, and even then probably not. They don't have any properties in Las Vegas anymore so their plans aren't for there.
There’s gotta be a plan to give DFW a team right away if this happens. Idk how you just move a team away from the fifth biggest market with nothing in return
Would it be any more surprising than moving a 25YO top 3 player just entering his prime for some gimp on the wrong side of 30?
You don't. You move a team away from the fifth biggest market to another place in the fifth biggest market where you own the land and hopefully (from their POV) a casino resort.
Davis has rung.
The other guy ain't.
Jesus H., Dumper of a Monday with an NBA take worth a tinker's dam.
Dumper
Doncic just carried his team to the Finals. Davis carried his to damn near a first round skunker.
I ain't near sold on Luka. And he will not be able to ring with James. It's gonna be a while before we can legitimately test him in Los Angeles.
Donic gives you another ten year window to ring again when the was chained shut as soon as you gave up good players for Westbrook four years ago and then on top of that couldn't pay Alex Caruso nor Malik Monk because of Russ. Luka didn't win his last game but he wrecked the out of some very good teams in Minnesota and OKC last playoffs, plus he eviscerated that 64 win Suns team in their own building and put that team in its current tailspin. Luka's legit man, you guys ain't had anyone like him since prime Shaq.
luka has sent 5 different franchises into tailspins now
utah after beating them in 2022 (blew their team up)
pho after beating them in 2022 (blew their team up outside of book)
clips after beating them in 2024 (PG left them, stuck with corpses of harden/kawhi)
twolves after beating them in 2024 (traded KAT, backfired / ant changed his game to imitate luka only not as good)
mavs after being traded by them in 2025 ()

Thanks for confirming the uselessness of using rings to evaluate players.
I was brought up that-a-way thru the pains & anguish meted out by the Celtics and attendant MSM.
But, I took it, hunkered down and suffered. When I finally found my salvation in June 9, 1985 I went on a 40 year grailed quest to mete out vengeance that only the ring means not only anything, amb, but everything. And 2nd place is last place...nary a dime's worth of difference.
And wherever I perch Board wise that's the way it is.
Let us proceed...
