Dallas Mavericks fans have expressed significant discontent following the team's trade of star player Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers. In response to concerns, the Mavericks stated that ticket representatives are available to assist season ticket holders contemplating cancelling their memberships. The organization emphasized its commitment to valuing the relationships with its season ticket members.

Multiple reports indicate that at least one season ticket holder has formally requested a cancellation of their tickets and will receive a refund. This information was confirmed through correspondence between the ticket holder and a Mavericks representative. The reaction among fans has been overwhelmingly negative, with many taking to the streets in front of the American Airlines Center to voice their frustrations. Chants of 'sell the team' could be heard as protesters gathered, signaling the depth of disappointment among the Mavericks' loyal supporters.

In addition to protests, fans have initiated a GoFundMe campaign aimed at raising funds for billboards expressing their dissatisfaction. Furthermore, local businesses have joined in on the sentiment; a nearby brewery has introduced a 'sell the team' beer in a nod to the ongoing unrest among the Mavericks' fanbase. Amidst this turmoil, the Mavericks addressed ticket pricing for the upcoming season, indicating that no decisions have yet been made regarding season ticket costs, and that ticket holders can expect communication from their representatives in the coming weeks. While the acquisition of Anthony Davis, alongside Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson, may bolster the Mavericks’ chances for a playoff run, it remains to be seen whether this will ease the disappointment over Dončić's departure.
