There is trouble in paradise, especially basketball paradise. The Dallas Mavericks lost nearly one million Instagram followers after trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, and many fans are angry.
They ask, ” Why give up your best player for an older player?” Luka’s renewal or extension contract comes in the summer. It is a whopping $345 million contract, which perhaps Dallas did not want to pay. Chihuahua!
It seems Luka was making more than a famous Hollywood actor. Another rumor is flying around in basketball paradise: The Adelson family, the Mavericks’ majority owners, wants to move the team to Vegas to expand their casino business. Perhaps they want casinos in Texas?
If we look at salaries, let’s analyze: Anthony Davis makes 43.22 Million Dollars, while Luka’s upcoming renewal was $345 Million. Let’s see if we should pay 43.22 million or $345 million.
I think it is plain mathematics. Yes, Luka is younger and a great player, but maybe the pocketbook won this time. You know what they say, “Money Talks!” If I had to buy a house worth $345 Million or a home priced at 43 Million, I would choose the most cost-effective no matter how rich I was.
Best wishes to both players!
