The Mavericks in deficit after Luka's trade
If Anthony Davis is an excellent player and he will have a positive impact on the short term, it is undeniable that the Mavericks will lose the change in the future. On the sporting level therefore, since Luka arrives at his bonus when AD will decline with age, but also economically. It's Tim MacMahon d 'ESPN which reveals the mind -blowing sums in play:
According to internal sources to the franchise, this decision to exchange Luka Doncic could cost at least $ 100 million over the coming years. This season alone, Dallas should lose several dozen million due to an increasingly fluctuating crowd at the American Airlines Center and a collapse of derivative products.
Following the exchange, there are also many brands that have decided to put an end to their partnership with the Mavericks. There are so many fans who canceled their annual subscription that the franchise tried to remember some by offering a partial refund.
The Mavericks have not just lost a great player in this exchange, they also lost a man who can generate significant income. Since his departure, fans have refused to go to the American Airlines Center, they no longer buy jerseys and sponsors are fleeing one after the other. A serious financial situation which could have an impact on the medium term: a relocation to Las Vegas, which dreams of a franchise.
Dallas must have solid kidneys to endure this drop in income and above all hope that the Kyrie Irving / Anthony Davis duo will be successful quickly to rabibocate supporters with the franchise.
