Before the trade became official, a few fans wondered whether NBA commissioner Adam Silver could step in and keep the move from going through. Although Silver didn’t immediately acknowledge if he was talking about the Doncic trade, he did address the hypothetical of a veto Wednesday on Barstool’s “Pardon My Take.”

After the Mavericks traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers at last week's NBA trade deadline, there was an overwhelming thought from fans that commissioner Adam Silver should have stepped in and vetoed the deal.

The Dallas Mavericks host the Golden State Warriors tonight in what was supposed to be a highly-anticipated matchup between teams that made major moves at the trade deadline. Instead, it’ll likely be a dud involving teams trending in opposite directions.
