It's absolutely certifiably insane. The Mavericks gave away a 25-year-old who is already one of the best players in the entire league and got back so little.

I'm trying to think of another example of a team losing a superstar like this, in a trade the team wanted, as opposed to free agency or a trade the star demanded.

Luka is a global star not yet in his prime who may end up one of the best NBA players of all time. The Mavericks said goodbye to all that for a 31-year-old star with injury concerns and one first round pick. They didn't even talk to multiple teams to get full value or tell their own coach or players this was being considered.

I can see a lot of fans giving up over this. It's too much to abide.
