I’ve been trying to figure out the football equivalent, maybe the chargers trading Justin Herbert for Saquon Barkley because Harbaugh wanted to build a great run game (ie trading a younger guy at a much more important position for an older, injury prone option because you fundamentally don’t understand what positions are most important to achieving your stated goal)

I don't follow the NBA at all and about the only basketball I watch is in March. I do live in DFW though and I have lots of friends who were blown away by this move (along with everyone else). I've really enjoyed hearing some of the conspiracy theories. Applying Occam's Razor, it would seem that: 1) The Mavs weren't interested in the pending supermax deal, and 2) Luka has something going on physically that kept him from being shopped around. Equally probable is that there were personality conflicts in the front office and this was a childish power move.
