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.
