Dallas Mavericks fans were wondering whether the team would facilitate a deal before Thursday’s trade deadline. Little did anyone know the Mavericks would not only facilitate a deal, but also send shockwaves through the league by parting ways with superstar Luka Doncic to acquire Anthony Davis and Max Christie from the Los Angeles Lakers.

But Dallas's stunning about-face with its franchise player may have hit those closest to home harder than anyone. Mavericks fans, shocked and hurt by the trade, came out in droves to protest the deal outside of American Airlines Arena before Sunday's hockey game between the Dallas Stars and Columbus Blue Jackets.

Luka Doncic's father recently blasted the Dallas Mavericks over the "secrecy" surrounding his son's shocking NBA trade.
