The Mavericks recently made a three-way trade with the Lakers and Jazz, the Mavericks sent Doncic, interior Kleber and Morris, and the Lakers in exchange for A. Davis, Christie and 2029 first-round picks, and the Jazz got Lakers Schifino, 2025 Clippers and Mavericks second-round picks. He then traded 24-year-old guard Grimes and a second-round pick to the 76ers in exchange for shooter Martin.

"I can understand the reaction of the fans," A. Davis said of the anger of the Dallas fans, and it was clear that this was a business deal, and he knew very well how important Doncic was to the Mavericks and Dallas, which was the same as what he meant to Los Angeles and the Lakers, and I wasn't surprised that Dallas fans would be upset, but my job was to play basketball, do what I had to do, give hope and confidence to the fans, and make them understand why General Manager Harrison traded him here.

The Mavericks will play against the Rockets on the 9th, ushering in the first home game after trading Doncic, there will be protests outside the court, and a large number of protesting fans will inevitably pour into the court.

It is worth mentioning that Harrison did not attend the press conference for A. Davis, Christie and Martin today, he recently received death threats from Mavericks fans, and he also hired security guards to protect his personal safety, and Harrison is unlikely to sit in his usual seat to watch the game tomorrow.
