Others say that the reason the Dallas Mavericks' GM in the game is better than the real Mavs GM is because the in-game GM is not Nico Harrison (and the in-game GM is better than Nico). (via X/@itsTottiYT)
"2K gm better than Mavs gm!" - one user remarked (via X/@KENXCARTI)

"That's a pretty lopsided trade, even for a video game!" - one NBA 2K player added (via X/@AmakaMma_)

Why can't Luka Doncic be traded in NBA 2K?
Well, even if this is a problem to some NBA 2K users, the answer is simple: Luka Doncic is an "untouchable" while Anthony Davis is a "valuable." So when NBA 2K players try to do the deal in the MyNBA, the Dallas Mavericks (in-game) will refuse the offer. Confusing as it may sound but trust us, this whole "untouchable" "valuable" thing is easy-peasy, especially if you're used to playing NBA 2K!
Now that the shocking trade has happened, it is still fun to know that in NBA 2K, Luka Doncic will forever and always be a Maverick, and that's what the NBA 2K players are holding on to, even if it's not real life!
