Late last night the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks made one of the most shocking trades in NBA history sending Luka Doncic to the Lakers for Anthony Davis with other pieces involved on both sides.
Since the trade was announced fans from all across the sports world have been trying to figure out why and how a deal like this is even possible particularly from the Dallas Mavericks point of view.
Doncic is only 25 years old and was the main star on a team that went to the NBA Finals last season and to be traded for 31 year old Anthony Davis and a first round pick things are not adding up.
As a result of the strange circumstances surrounding this earth shattering trade a new source has a theory that a conspiracy is the only logical reason for a trade like this to happen.
In a new post on X one notable commentator, Matt Wallace is making the claim that the NBA has forced the Dallas Mavericks to trade Luka Doncic to improve their ratings.
The conspiracy theorist claims that the NBA is pulling the strings against the Mavericks and threatened the team with lower draft picks and less prime time games if they did not facilitate the trade that ended with Doncic in Los Angeles.
Of course this is just one person's theory at the moment and has not been confirmed by any sources from around the NBA but it just shows how impossible this trade feels.
While the Mavericks feel they got proper value for Doncic clearly most of the NBA and greater sports world disagrees.
As the season continues it will be fun to see how this trade ends up and who ends up coming out as the winner in the deal.
