Doncic trading farce: How fans and media are being led by rhythm
9:01pm, 19 May 2025Basketball
As we all know, the biggest NBA deal this season is that the Mavericks traded the 25-year-old team-building core Doncic to the Lakers. You should know that Doncic was selected for the first team five times in the first six seasons. Last season, he averaged 33.9 points per game, winning the scoring champion and leading the team to the finals. The Mavericks traded it for no reason, which is really puzzling. And just recently, the Mavericks boss finally revealed the reason.
When I saw the Mavericks trade Doncic for Thick Brow and Christie, many people might think it was fake news. To be honest, this is really outrageous. You should know that Doncic is only 25 years old this year. He just led the team to the finals last season. Without suffering major injuries, the team will not have to consider building a core team in the next 5-10 years. Thick Brow is already 30 years old and is often injured. His glass attribute can be seen from the first game, and he was injured in the first game of the Mavericks. He is likely to have to be on standby for more than a month. It is really hard to understand that the Mavericks conduct such trading operations.
After Doncic was traded, there were a lot of rumors online, and fans had different speculations, but the Mavericks boss may be the one who understands the most. Recently, the current Mavericks boss Patrick Dumont commented on the trade of Doncic. He said: If you look at the great players in the league, look at the people who grew up with me - Jordan, Bird, Magic, Kobe, O'Neal - they work very hard every day and are determined to win. If you don't have these, that won't work...If you don't have these, you shouldn't be a part of the Dallas Mavericks.
In addition, Dumont also said: He firmly believes in the people who want to work hard. He is such a person himself. This is the only way to maintain competitiveness and the only way to win. If the player wants to take a vacation, don’t stay here. From the words of the Mavericks boss, we can see that he is very dissatisfied with Doncic. Although he did not name the name, his meaning was clearly expressed, that is, Doncic is talented but not hard enough, and he does not have a very strong competitive spirit. The boss is very disappointed with him.
To be honest, Doncic has paid a lot for the Mavericks in recent years, and he was even more injured in the finals last year. But he has indeed been a little depressed this season. It is said that his weight has soared and he is already ranked among the top few in the league, second only to some big centers. For a professional basketball player, lack of good self-discipline is actually a performance of not working hard. Doncic has been injured frequently this season, and the data has declined. Various complaints about the referee also reflect some of his own problems.
Whether it is the Mavericks who don't want to give Doncic a super maximum salary, or he has really problems himself, which makes the Mavericks boss unhappy, the transaction has been completed in the end, and what the two teams and players need is nothing more than to constantly prove themselves. After all, winning the game is the king and having the right to speak.
