one more reason why players should never be "loyal" to franchises. Luka played while injured for the Mavs, how many times we saw him limping during games but still giving his all?

My theory is that they want to relocate the Mavs to Vegas without much backlash from fans. So now they're trying to push fans away by trading away their franchise player and face of the city. I also feel like they're making Nico the scapegoat for all this. Because in the past, he's actually made good moves to build around Luka. Like trading for Gafford, PJ Washington, and signing guys like Klay and Kyrie. My theory is that the owners probably threatened to fire him if he didn't make the trade, then trade Luka themselves after they fired Nico. I think Nicos options were to either trade Luka and keep his job. Or not trade Luka, and get fired, then the owners trade Luka themselves. It actually makes sense if you look into the owners and what they're all about. If what i just said isn't convincing enough, these owners were also involved in the Raiders moving to Vegas as well...

They gave up possibly the best player they've ever had, for a 31 year old Anthony Davis. He has been healthy, but he's old. Luka is 25! They gave up a guaranteed future, and for what? They're now handcuffed, if they don't win a chip within the next 3 years, they can't live this down. Nico Harrison better have been on some damn good drugs, because there's no real reason for trading the best thing to happen to you since Dirk Nowitzki. The fans don't come to see Nico Harrison, they come to see Luka Doncic. To the fans of Dallas, I'm sorry. This is heartbreaking, I would be calling for Harrison's ouster as well.

The Adelson family needs to be investigated, and here's why. The Adelson Family build their wealth and fortune in the casino and resort business in Las Vegas, Nevada, and with them purchasing the Mavericks, they wanted to bulid a connection and expend their casino gambling business to Texas, even though gambling is banned from Texas. Bruh, they even tried to build a stadium/casino in the Fort Worth Dallas area. Hell, they even came out publicly saying that they don't care about basketball at all. Mark Cuban, the former owner of the Mavericks, came out saying they are not basketball people. The Adelson family whose main motivation is money and expanding their casino business played in the Luka Doncic trade 100%. Think about it, Luka Doncic getting traded to LA will have higher ticket prices, more merchandise sales, more people traveling to LA, more jobs, and will bring so much money into the city of LA, and what does alot of rich people do in LA, they go on a trip to Las Vegas to party and gamble. Besides, LA and Las Vegas are just 4 hours apart from each other, which means more money will flow to both LA and Las Vegas casinos and resorts, which definitely means more money for the Adelson family, and the compound the fact that the Mavs only talked to the Lakers makes it even more obvious. By the way, you wanna know why the Raiders are in Las Vegas now, yeah the Adelson family are the same family and the reason why the Raiders moved to Las Vegas in the first place. So not only all that I just broke down about the situation, plus you also have to add the fact that the NBA is talking about Las Vegas could be the NBA's next expansion team. The Luka Doncic only benefits the Lakers and the Adelson family. It doesn't benefit the Mavericks at all. The NBA has to do an investigation on this because this doesn't make sense

The more I think about this trade, the more I DON'T dislike it for Dallas. There's obviously more to the story that we won't find out about for a minute, so we can only speculate. But based upon what we do know - I could see Dallas asking themselves the question of whether it is worth it or not to give someone $345 million when they've shown that they don't take their conditioning and overall physical fitness super seriously? I mean, if he wasn't doing it before, he's probably not going to start now. Yes, we can all agree he carried Dallas to the Finals and had very timely contributions from his teammates (Kyrie and the bigs). But we also all saw him get absolutely exposed and abused on defense when it mattered most. And it's not like nobody talked about it either. The talking heads were all over it. I haven't followed Dallas too hard, and I know he's been dealing with injuries, but didn't he come into the season not in the greatest shape? I swear there have been some "rumors/reports" aka potential hit pieces saying he had gone up to 270lbs. If making the Finals and losing on the biggest stage partially because of your poor defense wasn't a big enough motivator to be in tip-top shape this season...why would a bag of money change that? Lot of mileage on dude's legs and body at such a young age. I also get the vibe that playing for Slovenia > playing for the Mavs. He loves his country and goes all out to try and get them onto the international stage. I know they missed out on Paris 2024, but any opportunity he gets, he goes to play. And that's the other thing, there was a summer he played for Slovenia and still came into camp out of shape. If I'm the Mavs owner, I'd weigh it up. I don't think a bidding war would have worked in Dallas favour. Would opposing teams gut their teams to get him? Who do you replace on a top team for him? I may not 100% agree with the trade, and I think AD was the best they could get from a contention standpoint. He doesn't need to play the 5. He's a top 3 defender in the league. He can get a bucket. He's already been to the mountaintop and knows what it takes to win. I ain't mad at it. But that's just me. 🤷🏾‍♂️

What about the “story behind” Steve Nash and his “conditioning issue”? Stop repeating the media’s lies about the max contract. The contract scale is structured to increase with the broadcasting revenue. Just like the “huge” contracts before that, the supermax will become a normality of superstars of this era.

[@TheHislopp]

​@Obfluss.S what stories about Nash's conditioning? Lol wut, Mark Cuban cited that as one of his biggest regrets and mistakes. What lies from the media am I reporting? Read what I wrote, not what you want to see. Owners don't want to end up like the Suns with their massive tax bills. It's a new NBA. The supermax hasn't exactly shown that it "works" when looking at it from the standpoint of winning titles. It also doesn't exactly do much to keep players in certain cities, like De'Aaron Fox for example. He could have gotten it from Sac and he still bounced. I honestly have no clue what you're talking about by bringing up the contract sale. Billionaires don't like to depart with their the money. The Adelsons are great proof of that. That is the point I'm making.

[@TheHislopp]

@Obfluss.S ​what stories about Nash's conditioning? Lol wut, Mark Cuban cited that as one of his biggest regrets and mistakes. I don't need the media to show me that Luka comes into seasons out of shape and then plays himself into shape. We've seen it constantly throughout his career, just like we've seen his weight balloon up and down. How is it a running joke that he looks like THAT and is still giving everyone work? I also have no idea why you're bringing up contract scale and the broadcast deals. Billionaires love money, nothing more nothing less. The Adelsons aren't some benevolent billionaires. They didn't get to where they are by giving away money. Also nobody wants to be the Suns. It's a new day in the NBA, and it's not like the supermax has shown to work when it comes to a championship winning perspective or retaining talent perspective (De'Aaron Fox for example). Read what I wrote my dude, not what you think I wrote. If all you cared about was money and making more of it, giving someone $345 million dollars might not be something you're keen on.

[@MikeKachitvich]

You definitely got this one right with that video on the man quietly destroying the Mavs

[@jasonbohannon8256]

Thank you for the video. Great job! I had no idea about most every important point you made throughout the entire video.

[@garrettclardy943]

Damn I’ve never seen anyone break it down like this. That’s nuts. They legit could miss or be one and done in the playoffs again after a deep playoff run the year before. Cook Swish. 💯💯💯🔥🔥

[@Capitale_E]

Man I was waiting on when you’d upload 😂

[@FinalQueue007]

Sports history, i will never get over this

[@killiemucken]

Thank you swish for seeing it how it is the league never forced this trade the mavs have been dumb for 25 years

[@cb_glogod8118]

The fact the Mavericks still got Dwight Powell is crazy work 💀💀💀💀

[@Sleepvertical]

It’s clear Mark Cuban has had trouble evaluating talent. I remember them letting Tyson Chandler walk, but wasn’t mad cause he went to my Knicks lol. But Cuban went on Brunson & Hart’s podcast and talked about their decision to let him walk, glad you included the clip. Dirk really willed that team to a chip.

[@atraina6921]

Mark Cuban doesn’t have any control over basketball operations anymore. He’s as shocked as everyone else.

[@ididntaskverified3663]

Dirk went through the trial of fire in that conference to come out on top

[@jessefritsch4323]

Delete this. Cuban isn't running it anymore. Get up to date.

[@Sleepvertical]

@ No that’s been known dumbass, but Cuban talking about letting Brunson walk on his podcast RECENTLY was what I was talking about. As well as historically letting other talents walk. Read before you write. 😂

[@Sleepvertical]

@@atraina6921 brother I’m talking about past events before he left read or watch the video? Tyson Chandler walked under him, Brunson walked under him, what I said is true. He went on JB’s podcast and talked about their decision to let him go.

[@MusicLover-my6fo]

Trading a 25-year-old superstar in his prime before he can sign a supermax contract is the final nail in the coffin for showing that "loyalty" is completely dead in the NBA.

[@stephenhill5767]

There's more to this story and we will eventually find out more (years later). Mark Cuban was a majority owner and fan and owned up to the teams decisions like Steve Nash and Jalen Brunson leaving. Him being majority owner, he was solely responsible and never shied from the critics. Donny Nelson didn't have to hear the ridicule. The new ownership is not built like that but it was their final decision and possibly their idea to begin with despite what Nico Harrison said. If they don't win a championship it is easier for Nico Harrison to take the fall and the Dallas Mavericks continue.

[@christopherthompson1011]

Kareem Abdul Jabbar getting traded to the Lakers was way more insane than this deal. 😂

[@ClutchDre__]

You GOTTA make a video on all the big trades that happened. The NBA’s poppin’ again. You gotta capitalize off that 👀🤷‍♂️

[@michaelwest7457]

I've lived in Dallas my entire life and have been a Mavs fan since I started watching basketball. I remember when Mark Cuban bought the team. This is the best breakdown I've seen so far with how frustrating this organization has been. I can't think of another place that has fumbled so many contending teams and star players who WANT to play here. It's really amazing that Dirk stayed here as long as he did, and it's pretty ironic how one of the most loyal players of all time is the face for one of the most disloyal organizations ever. This trade is worse than losing the 06 finals and losing to the we believe Warriors in 07, and really the last nail in the coffin for me. Hope Kyrie is able to get out of here before they do him dirty too.

[@tobznoobs]

you forgot their coach, they let him go twice as well! ROTY jason kidd was traded to phoenix in a deal that included nash. after they won the title, they let kidd go to NY with chandler. literally almost all of them played the point and all of them are all stars

[@kzrmxmln]

Didn't even realize Luka broke up four teams and they traded him away? That's insane.

[@eugeneberotte739]

The worst decision in NBA history was by the golden state warriors. Trading the #1 overall pick right after winning rookie of the year winning 54 games and making the playoffs for Tom Gugliotta was the worst decision in league history

[@j.megatron]

So an anchor franchise is able to maintain a superstar from 1967 to present and you don't believe there's a constructed narrative and focus on keeping the rich franchise generating cash for revenue sharing??? Arrrrghh

[@filipmartinovic4594]

This. It's straight up collusion. Idk how you can be a fan of such blatant bullshit

[@tnk4me4]

Lol, imagine if after 2020, the Nuggets told Jokic that he's too fat and just traded him for Kawhi? This trades sounds even stupider than that scenario

[@jmfd966]

From a basketball perspective, we can all agree that this literally makes zero sense. Mavs owners deliberately imploding the team and fanbase. On a human level, the way it was handled is even worse. How you not even talk to the guy getting traded after all he has done for you? Corporate America never fails to disgust me.

[@joshstacey339]

Man I ain’t even watching the NBA anymore. Luka literally is Dallas we were so awful before he got here and Dirk was old

[@josh-qj2zu]

A mavs fan said AD could average 30 and 20 and the mavs could win the title and they would still hate the move and I think about it a lot

[@golfrelax9795]

30 and 20 you meant 30 games a year 20 minutes game time right?

[@user-pm4ko9uk8g]

What baffles me is that mavs didn’t even put Luka out there for a bid war. 😅

[@emmanuelgyamfi4144]

😮 1- broke up the Jazz 2 - destroyed Phenoix 3 - murdered the Clippers 4 - AND wiped out the Timberwolves...😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@mihacebin4341]

You know the video's gonna be fire when you hear that Nina Simone sample

[@howardfreeman3382]

This guy never misses with his videos banger after banger

[@uberneanderthal]

in retrospect, Dirk showed way more respect and loyalty to the Mavs than they deserved. they've never shown that same loyalty and respect to their players

[@shaketin]

Back then the Mavs did. Different ownership changes things

[@zani_1]

This seems like a weird power trip from Nico. There’s some insider stuff going on because no way does any other team in the league make this bone headed decision

[@barclaypierre740]

WE NEED A MAVS VS LAKERS SERIES 😭🙏🏿

[@kaiseramadeus233]

I've been debating with some goons in BR who unironically believe this was a fair trade for Dallas.

[@GoogleUserOne]

You think you can fit in another ‘literally?’ 9:05

[@Dalocklear73]

You think you could cry a bit more?

[@08mayleen]

This trade has broken the fabric of what is an untouchable player.

[@llx10kxll]

Luka looks so pissed 😂😂😂

[@gno-cashout175]

Swish always spitting facts 💯

[@Slapshot544]

That first game back in Dallas gonna be crazy Luka might go for 70 again

[@tez1seven]

Will never understand why the MAVS traded half their team after they won the Chip instead of running it back

[@wiltondexplorer]

I agree that after their 2011 championship, it doesn't make sense breaking that team up. They still have a chance to run it back but broke up the team that gave them their only championship. Tsktsk.

[@Zenith8896]

Also keep in mind that the Mavericks traded away Kristaps Porzingis, and then later Kristaps won a championship with the Celtics.

[@Croutonking65]

As always, history will determine if this trade was good or bad, but this is the most stacked I’ve ever seen one side over another

[@gscollect]

As basketball fans, I think this is going to stick with us forever.

[@alensaric1082]

Regular season turned into a hate watch on the Mavs, I'll be watching every game

[@Jerome7-v5u]

The Mavericks have to win a CHAMPIONSHIP, Luka got them to the finals, and I know its a harsh expectation but thats what they gotta do and if not, then history will not be on their side in the next 5 years or so

[@kl2389]

Not only Chandler but JJ Barea too. They didn't re-sign him after winning the title.

[@Th4448]

Bro really said he broke up the jazz 😭 gobert was the super spreader in 2020 and donavan clearly stated he didn’t want to play with him anymore

[@The4No]

I mean if you're the Lakers, this is the opposite of the worst decision ever.

[@bonk668]

The Mavs saw Kyrie play without him for like 12 weeks and said Luka can go for AD
