Thanks for reading The Dope.
Let’s see. The Dallas Mavericks:
—Traded their transcendent talent to the by-gawd Lakers.
—Saw their trade return immediately become injured.
—Faced massive blowback from an outraged fan base.
—Went 6-7 post-trade to put their playoff hopes on life support.
—Lost Kyrie Irving to a torn ACL.
What next? Man, that’s easy. That is so easy. I’m stunned that I even have to explain it to you.
Of course — you raise ticket prices.
