With tNBA\u2019s Trade Deadline come and gone and the Dallas Mavericks making a transaction, it was time to take a poll to see what Dallas fans thought of the crazy few days for the Mavericks. I went into the gym on Thursday and came out to a blown up phone with so many texts, tweets, emails, and missed calls.<\/p>\n

So, with that in mind before we transition to All Star weekend talk, here are the results where Mavs Moneyball readers were asked if they approved of the trade or not.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

89% is an overwhelming majority. I have to imagine the last 11% are mostly people who either expected more of a return or Anthony Davis\u2019 relatives.<\/p>\n

The next question had to do with the new players on the team. I asked which of three (sorry AJ Johnson) fans had been most impressed by in the short stint so far.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Former Dukie Marvin Bagley seems to have won over Dallas fans early. He plays hard and that\u2019s important given that the Mavericks franchise has no incentive to win, he helps mkaes the games more watchable.<\/p>\n

The final question on our survey pivoted to the All Star weekend. At the time, Cooper Flagg hadn\u2019t been injured. The question was asking if you were going to tune into the Rookie\/Sophomore game.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2 in 3 fans isn\u2019t bad but it\u2019s less than I would\u2019ve thought. But now that Coop\u2019s hurt, I think we all may have to go on a short vacation this week.<\/p>\n

In the national survey, which you can sign up with here<\/a>, focused on the All Star events coming up all weekend long. There\u2019s still plenty of time to bet on some of the fun goings on happening this weekend<\/a>, and you can do so easily on FanDuel. The first question asked if fans understood the format of this weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Most do not. I didn\u2019t even bother to learn.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s a question about the weekend\u2019s events. Most are looking forward to the three point contest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The final question asked which team did the best at the Trade deadline.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very funny and stupid that the league has three teams here who are trying to tank but they improved via the trade market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With tNBA\u2019s Trade Deadline come and gone and the Dallas Mavericks making a transaction, it was time to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":602090,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3793],"tags":[495,7,225,686,149,4057,166,6,490],"class_list":{"0":"post-602089","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas-mavericks","8":"tag-anthony-davis","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-cooper-flagg","11":"tag-dallas","12":"tag-dallas-mavericks","13":"tag-dallasmavericks","14":"tag-mavericks","15":"tag-nba","16":"tag-the-mavericks"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116066999317047423","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602089","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=602089"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602089\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/602090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=602089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=602089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=602089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
