The Dallas Mavericks' signing of Grant Williams in the off-season turned out to be a disappointment, leading to his recent trade to the Charlotte Hornets for PJ Washington. Reports suggest that Williams, known for his talkative nature, may have "rubbed people the wrong way." The surprising tidbit is that his sneaker choice, switching from Luka Doncic's shoe to Jayson Tatum's, allegedly played a role in the decision to trade him.

The report raises questions about sensitivity within the team, particularly Luka Doncic's reaction to the sneaker change, which some find amusing and others consider embarrassing if true. It's noted that Tim Hardaway Jr. also wears Tatum's shoes, adding to the confusion around this peculiar aspect of the trade decision. The credibility of the shoe-related claim is questioned, considering the source's history of issues with the Mavericks, particularly Luka Doncic.
