Feel bad for dem Mavs tbh, I can laugh at CP3 and Doc getting screwed over but ruining the last few Dirk years like this is a pretty ing big deal. Spurs would've been in this situation had LMA left after the Splitter deal. Plus the Mavs with DJ were going to be an easy out in the playoffs anyways.
Also, this sets kinda a bad precedent. I know it won't happen, but what if the Hawks decide that the deal for Splitter needs a sweetener? We're basically at their mercy because we absolutely need to move Splitter and they probably know it.
