Although it is unclear whether Ross had similar discussions with the Mavericks, it ultimately did not matter.

Ross had a great opportunity to choose between two teams that made major moves before the trade deadline.

The Mavericks brought in Kyrie Irving to pair with Luka Doncic, while the Suns acquired Kevin Durant, making them one of the top contenders for the championship.

Photo: Adam Sandler / Instagram   Adam Sandler, who many know from his funny movies in the 90s and early 2000s, is the world’s highest-paid actor of 2023. Despite not having a big box-office hit in five years, he earned an impressive $73 million last year, according to Forbes. This put him above stars like Tom Cruise, Shah Rukh Khan, and Margot Robbie.
