The Dallas sporting scene has now seen two absolutely brutal trades that sent away major fan favorites. Last NBA season, Luka Doncic’s trade to the LA Lakers went down as one of the most controversial and confusing trades for the fans and the NBA world as a whole.

This time, it is the Dallas Cowboys who culminated the lengthy negotiations with star defensive lineman Micah Parsons by trading him away to the Green Bay Packers.

Draymond Green, who has been critical of Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones in the past, also talked about the blockbuster trade between the two legacy franchises.

“Wow!!! Jerry didn’t want to pay the money! Good Bag Micah,” Green posted on his X account.

This is not the first time Green has been involved with this drama, though. The Parsons-Cowboys negotiation saga has been going on ever since the NFL offseason started. 

Finally, in the first week of August, Parsons publicly requested a trade from the Cowboys, citing contract extension issues. He announced it in a lengthy social media post in which he explained his entire thought process to his fans.

“Micah had time today,” Green wrote on his threads account right after Parsons’ announcement. Even though he has no official or formal connection with the Cowboys team, Green has been vocal about his criticism of their management.

He alleged that the Cowboys’ billionaire owner is one of those owners who do not actually want to win, even if that’s all they admit to publicly.

This trade was a massive move in the NFL world as Parsons has developed quite a following and media business while being in the spotlight with the Dallas Cowboys. Many different personalities from the basketball world responded to this trade.

“Go Pack Go @AntDavis23,” Mavericks point guard D’Angelo Russell ruffled some feathers with his X post. Fans could not believe he was supporting the Packers despite playing for a Dallas-based team. But many others could not help but put Luka Doncic and Micah Parsons in the same boat.


NBA World Compares Luka Doncic And Micah Parsons’ Blockbuster Trades

The Luka Doncic trade shocked the NBA world, but the Parsons trade people saw coming. But just because people saw it coming does not mean that it makes sense for the Cowboys to move off one of the best defensive players in the league.

NBA fans quickly started drawing comparisons between the two blockbuster trades coming out of Dallas.

“They went band for band on who can make the worst trade,” said the caption on Overtime’s social media account that posted a picture of Jerry Jones and Mavericks GM Nico Harrison.

“Jerry has been doing it for decades, Nico can’t top that,” a fan commented.

“Nah, that Luka trade is still significantly worse.”

“Dark days for Dallas are coming.”

“Epic showdown of questionable trades!”

“I honestly don’t feel like the Mavericks trade was bad. In due time, it’ll make sense, but Jerry? He’s a terrible owner.”

Both trades have been highly scrutinized and ended up dividing the fans over their sensibilities. Some believe that Parsons was causing more trouble off the court than it was worth, and Doncic was not taking his health seriously. 

While others believe that trading away a generational player like Doncic makes little to no sense, Parsons was only demanding what he felt the defensive players’ market would reach in the upcoming years. Only time will tell which side turns out to be right.
