Angry Dallas Mavericks fans disappointment over the controversial Luka Doncic trade to the Los Angeles Lakers hasn't ended, especially with some pointing out that they got an injured Anthony Davis in return.

The actual grind of the regular season will kick off now that the NBA All-Star Game is over. Still, many fans believe that the Mavs organization needs to explain why it resorted to a deal that "made no sense."

A Trade That Made No Sense

Although injuries are unforeseen, the Mavericks' decision was suspect to begin with. Swapping a generational star like Doncic for a short-term roll of the dice on an injury-ridden Davis has left fans stunned, according to Sports Illustrated.

Dallas was already on the cusp of contention even with Doncic. Now, they've not only risked their current but perhaps their future. They need to do the heavy grinding now.

Several people have attempted to explain the trade, but there does not appear to be a rational reason. Rather than negotiate a five-year, $345 million supermax extension for Doncic, according to a report from The Athletic, the Mavericks never had any intention of making that offer at all.

Mavs Fans Outraged Over Doncic Departure

Mavericks fans were already seething about the front office's move, but the news that the team deliberately refused to pay Doncic what he was worth has only fueled the fire.

It's bizarre to let go of the 25-year-old phenom who is not only the franchise player, but also the main key to carrying Dallas to two Western Conference Finals and an NBA Finals.

This is the type of player that franchises hope to surround with. A one-in-a-generation talent who might have established Mavericks basketball for years to come. Instead, the Lakers now get to complement him on their roster while Dallas gets to clean up the mess.

A Franchise-Altering Mistake

The Mavericks had the perfect blueprint for success: a young superstar who could carry them for the next decade. Instead, they chose uncertainty.

Davis, while a dominant force when healthy, has been plagued by injuries throughout his career. Betting the team's future on him is a risk that could backfire devastatingly. Still, fans are wondering why GM Nico Harrison made such a hasty and bad move for the org.

Only time will tell whether Dallas made the correct choice, but at this point, it's a decision that appears to be one that will haunt them for years to come. Lakers fans, on the other hand, are partying, knowing they just orchestrated one of the greatest steals in NBA history.

As for New Dallas CEO Rick Welts, he might have probably underestimated the reaction from the crowd.

"It's incredibly emotional, an incredibly difficult time for so many people. But I still believe we're going to come out on the other side, with a future that's incredibly bright. That's kind of my glass-half-full approach there," he told The Dallas Morning News.

Even Metta World Peace, who is previously known as Ron Artest, believed that the Mavs were not a loser since "everybody won." in the trade.
