In a recent media roundtable, Mavericks CEO Rick Welts and GM Nico Harrison justified the controversial trade of Luka Doncic to the Lakers for Anthony Davis. Welts drew a comparison to the 2012 Golden State Warriors trade of Monta Ellis for Andrew Bogut, claiming that such decisions can lead to long-term success. However, critics deemed this comparison misguided as Doncic's achievements vastly exceed those of Ellis. The backlash among fans has been vociferous, with many questioning the Dallas front office's strategy and expressing frustration over the team's direction.
"The Golden State Warriors once traded Monta Ellis for Andrew Bogut. Monta Ellis was beloved... Bogut wasn't going to play that year, Bogut's not really a marketable player... It got better because they had a guard named Steph Curry, and Steph Curry came in and made the entire fanbase love him."
"Clowns everywhere you look in Dallas front office... This has turned into a sick joke, I am telling you they are doing this on purpose just to piss us all off and move to Vegas!!!!"
