The incredible explanation from the owner of the Mavs about the trade of Luka Doncic!: "We are thinking long-term, about the future"

It has been a little over a month since the transfer of Luka Doncic from Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers. Since then, Nico Harrison, the General Manager, gave his explanations, but the owner Patrick Dumont, besides leaking nonsense to friendly media, had not clearly spoken about the reasons for the transfer. Now he has, and we understand why he hadn't done so before: there's no way to make sense of it.

Basically, he wants to make Mavericks fans believe that everything has been for a long-term sporting issue! Yes, he wanted to build a better long-term team, hence the exchange of a 26-year-old star who just took you to the NBA Finals for another one who is 32 and has been injured for 3 years. Here is exactly what the man who claims he wants to win rings with the Mavs (he doesn't care about the casino issue) said:

"Tough decisions are never easy. Part of leadership is taking risks, considering all factors, and we wanted to act for the long term. We were not competitive last year before the trade deadline, and when we made some moves, we had the best record in the league, played in the Finals but didn't win. We had to decide how to be better. We watched the trajectory during the season and we weren't better. And other teams were better. Looking at the other Conference, we had to beat very good teams that we lost to and have improved. It was a forward-looking situation. If you look at our roster today, we have positioned ourselves to be one of the best teams in the NBA. If you're a basketball fan, you see that with Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, PJ Washington, Anthony Davis, and Daniel Gafford or Derek Lively as the starting five, it's intimidating to any team in the league if we continue. So, the goal was to think about how to create a roster looking to the future to be a more competitive team. I've said it, I said it when I bought the team from Mark (Cuban), we want to win championships. We want to be a winning franchise for the city of Dallas."
