The financial repercussions of Luka Doncic’s trade should be quite disastrous for the Mavericks.
Dallas is expected to lose tens of millions of dollars in revenues this season accordingly, the shocking trade that took place earlier this year, sources said in ESPN.
The revolt against the front-office and the ownership of the organization has been so strong since the decision to send the Lakers so that the Mavericks saw the presence of the attendance of the American Airlines Arena, the drop in sales of goods and sponsors have ended their relations with the team due to the trade.
The team had tried to save a face in the days that followed the trade by offering reimbursements limited to fans who wanted to cancel their subscriptions following the trade.
The anger at Doncic’s trade has returned to the forefront this week while the ex-loved MAVS-like-star returned to Dallas for the first time since trade.
The welcome Wednesday of a hero with a video tribute to tears before the match, and the fans applauded him each time he touched the ball in the effort of 45 points against his former team.
Doncic received a standing ovation when he left the field after checking the 112-97 victory for the last time, and the fans chanted “Fire Nico” throughout the night, referring to the managing director of Mavericks, Nico Harrison.
Before the match, Doncic castigated the “disrespectful” post-exchanges that had released after trade.
And the Mavericks coach Jason Kidd bizarrely called him “a little cool” that someone compared the profession to Babe Ruth, probably referring to the sale in 1919 of the baseball legend by the Red Sox to the Yankees.
Sale has become one of the largest blunders in the history of sport for the Red Sox.
