I wanted to learn about a concept that had to do with feminist philosophy that I had not necessarily known about before. This seemed the most interesting from the options on wikipedia.

Last night, I thought there was an emergency after everyone around me read a notification on their phone which caused immense distress. It was not an emergency, however. Instead, it was the news that Mavericks basketball player Luka Dončić had been traded to the lakers as well as Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris. Since I have little knowledge about why this trade was such a big deal I decided to look into it.

This article explains a branch of feminism that came from the argument that traditional feminism lacked clear direction and logic. It specifically emerged in the 90s with the goal of focusing on truth, and reason. This branch was mostly created as a devils advocate of sorts, as it argues against the traditional feminist norms and counters how they can be improved.

Previously owned by Mark Cuban, now owned by the Adelson and Dumont families, the Dallas Mavericks have continuously proved themselves to be a powerhouse in the MBA. One player that has greatly contributed to their success is 25 year old Luka Dončić. On February 2, 2025, the teams made a decision that would shock the nation. Luka Dončić, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris were given to the Los Angeles Lakers in return for the players Anthony Davis and Max Christie.

All of the sources in this article seem correct and reliable. I looked into the authors of the different sources cited, and most have significant experience in this field. When it comes to bias, the tone of this article seems free of it. Every statement is more matter of fact than emotional, which can be plausible with a subject like this.

Many are shocked by this decision due to the fact that Davis and Christie are what many could call “past their prime” as they have been in the league a considerable more amount of time than the young MVPs they were traded for. Because of the backlash online Nico Harrison, the Mavericks’ manager, explained that the team has more benefit with a defensive structure than an offensive one because “defense wins championships.” According to Harrison, Davis has the defensive capabilities that the team was looking for.

As for the writing style, everything is written concisely with good prose. I don’t know if that’s a big issue, but with anything academic I think good formatting is important.

Only time will tell if this gamble was worth it, but one thing is for certain: this decision will make a significant change in the NBA landscape.

I am happy to have learned more about this branch of feminism, as I would not have otherwise. As far as I can tell from my own experience and the wikipedia trainings, this source is reliable to learn from.

Everything above was appropriately explained in the article, and it was up tp date as it was published the day after the news took place. Everything was cited correctly. The only criticism I have is that the article is a little biased to thinking the move was a bad decision, but that seems to be the general consensus overall.
