Patrick Dumont, the Mavericks owner, has been getting absolutely torched by the fans. Fans are not happy with the decision to trade away the face of the franchise for pennies on the dollar. Dumont continues to make excuses for why they decided to move on from Doncic and send him to the Lakers.

The trade was orchestrated by Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison, but fans were quick to point out that the team ownership, led by majority owner Patrick Dumont, would also likely have had to sign off on the deal. Recently, Dumont spoke on what went into the puzzling decision.

Skip Bayless was one of those who watched as the Los Angeles Lakers succumbed to a 126-106 defeat against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. Luka Doncic kept the Lakers in the first half with 29 points and finished the game with an astonishing 45 points.
