Nearly six months after the Mavericks made the fateful decision to trade Luka Doncic to the Lakers, CEO Rick Welts has doubled down on the team's decision to part ways with the superstar. Not only this, but he oddly went about framing the response from fans as a positive in the wake of the trade.
“You can’t have fears or regrets in this business, it’s all about how you move forward," Welts said on Bloomberg TV. "... I learned about the depth of the connection between Mavericks fans and this team. And that to me was a glass half-full because I knew we could restore that over time. I didn't think it would quite as quickly as it's perhaps as it's happened."
