Christie and nine-time All-Star Anthony Davis were sent to Dallas in a blockbuster trade on Sunday that featured the Lakers landing Luka Doncic. Shipping out the franchise’s cornerstone player led to the Mavericks (26-25) being criticized for the deal but Christie adjusted well on the fly while Davis didn’t play on Tuesday due to injury.

When asked about the trade, Legler, on the All-NBA Podcast, had the following to say, refusing to hold back on the situation: "Not only would Mark Cuban not have done the deal, Mark Cuban would have fired a person who suggested it on the spot... Because he'd be certain that person has to be doing something in terms of narcotics."

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic purchased a $15 million Texas home just days before he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, former NBA player Chandler Parsons has claimed—while alleging that the news of the surprise move left the 25-year-old sporting superstar in tears.
