Mavericks owner and governor Patrick Dumont has spoken publicly for the first time since the ground-shaking trade of superstar Luka Donu010diu0107 to the rival Los Angeles Lakers in an interview with the Dallas Morning News.
In the interview that was published Sunday in which the publication described his words as "at times fiery, passionate and blunt," Dumont cited "character" and "culture" as reasons for the trade. And he insisted that the Mavericks are not moving to Las Vegas, where the fortune of the controlling owner's family was made.
