On Saturday, the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers shocked the world as they swapped point guard Luka Doncic and forward Anthony Davis with complimentary pieces in a seismic trade that almost everyone refused to believe when it was first reported.

The deal became the talk of the town as fans, analysts, and current and former players expressed astonishment about the move that altered the league's landscape.

While most neutrals were stunned, Mavericks fans like Patrick Mahomes were united in showcasing their disapproval of the move. Doncic, the third overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft, was the face of the franchise and led the team to the 2024 NBA Finals, their first 2011 championship victory.

The perennial All-Star was earmarked as franchise icon Dirk Nowitzki's successor and was living up to that billing. Dallas is only months removed from being crowned Western Conference champions, and many believed it was only a matter of time before the guard led the team to a championship.

The 25-year-old's exit caught every Mavericks fan off guard. Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman gave an insight into Mahomes' mindset about the trade on X, writing:

"I know Pat sick right now."

Like an endless list of athletes, the three-time Super Bowl champion rushed to X after NBA insider Shams Charania broke the news that the Lakers and Mavericks had agreed to swap Doncic and Davis. He was as befuddled as everyone else at first before confirming what Mecole Hardman claimed. He tweeted:

"I’m sick [right now]."

After the initial shock dissipated, Mahomes looked at the bright side. He warmed to the idea of Davis, a Defensive Player of the Year candidate and a 10-time All-Star with four First-Team All-NBA nods, playing alongside superstar point guard Kyrie Irving, as he wrote:

"Kyrie and AD going to be nice tho!"

Mahomes, like the entire Mavericks fanbase, is still coming to grips with the loss of the face of their franchise. Dallas' front office has been relentlessly attacked on social media for trading Doncic since Charania announced the move. It remains to be seen if their decision to trade for Davis works out as they intended or blows up in their face.
