The Dallas Mavericks had to clear the air regarding rumors of them relocating to another state.

Following the ground-breaking trade that sent star Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis, people involved with the Mavericks organization have been concerned with the long-term future of the franchise in Dallas.

This prompted a statement from the Adelson and Dumont families, per Tim Cato of DLLS Sports.

“The Adelson and Dumont Families have already started and are committed to investing and building in Dallas/Ft. Worth. The families have absolutely no plans to move the team out of North Texas,” Cato reported.

Some Mavericks fans believe in a conspiracy theory that the owners are interested in moving the franchise to Las Vegas. Basketball analyst Bill Simmons even gave his thoughts on the theory.

“I love this one that the owners always wanted the Vegas team and their eventual goal is to basically flip franchises, move Dallas to Vegas so they can have their whole casino thing,” Simmons said. “The expansion team that was going to go to Vegas will be the Dallas team, they’d pay whatever. The first way to do this was to basically to torpedo the Mavericks franchise relationship with their fans by trading Luka Doncic. I have no notes, that’s one of the best conspiracy theories I’ve ever heard.”
