Inside the Mavericks’ Bold Playbook: 8 Shocking Anthony Davis Trades and a Secret 2026 Draft Gambit That Could Change Everything

“If you look at the greats in the league, the people you and I grew up with — Jordan, Bird, Kobe, Shaq — they worked really hard, everyday with a singular focus to win,” Dumont said earlier this year, rationalizing the trade. “And if you don’t have that, you shouldn’t be a part of the Dallas Mavericks.”
Righhhht. New owners typically barge in like they own the place (because they do) and over-meddle everything into chaos. That’s what we just witnessed in Phoenix as soon as Mat Ishbia bought the Suns. But in this case, Dumont under-meddled big-time. Unless the tinfoil-hat conspiracy about the Adelsons deliberately cratering the franchise’s value to drag it to Las Vegas has legs (which, full disclosure, I think is total crap), they simply just sleepwalked into trusting the GM they inherited from the Mark Cuban era and let him drain all the life from the franchise.
