San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama admitted that the Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis deal is the “craziest” trade he has ever seen. However, there’s another thing that stood out to him about the transaction: how Dallas Mavericks fans reacted to it. After the Los Angeles Lakers acquired Doncic by sending Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick to the Mavericks, several Dallas fans protested the move and questioned the team’s reasoning behind it. Many others even asked NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to veto the deal and investigate it, with critics pointing out how lopsided the trade was in the Lakers’ favor. Speaking to reporters during the All-Star Media Day on Saturday, Wembanyama talked about the Doncic-Davis blockbuster and the pain the Mavs faithful showed after losing the face of the franchise.

Otherwise, Mavs are still a contenders, Lakers are still contenders… In the two weeks after, it’s still the craziest trade I’ve ever seen.” There have been plenty of rumors and reports about the Mavs’ reason behind trading Luka Doncic, with the most prominent one being that Dallas is concerned about his conditioning issues and how they do not want to commit the supermax contract worth $346 million due to that. Whatever the case may be, a lot of Mavericks fans did not like the move at all, and Victor Wembanyama felt their pain.
