How Micah Parsons Trade Resembles Luka Doncic’s
Dallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons will leave Dallas just months after the Dallas Mavericks’ shocking Luka Doncic trade. Here’s how the Cowboys’ trade of Parsons, 26, resembles and differs from the Mavericks’ trade of Doncic, now 26, in early February.
Micah Parsons Trade Resembles Luka Doncic Trade
The Micah Parsons trade bears resemblance to the Luka Doncic trade. Both trades took place in 2025 and were also sights that Dallas sports fans likely didn’t want to see, but were inevitable given the states of the teams. Both are nothing short of controversial.
Parsons Trade Differs from Doncic Trade
Micah’s trade differed from the Luka Doncic trade. Micah’s trade occurred just a week before the Dallas Cowboys’ regular season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, September 4. The Doncic trade happened with two months left in the 2024-25 NBA regular season.
Doncic was traded to Hollywood, where the lights shine bright and stars walk on red carpets, living in luxury homes. Micah was shipped to Green Bay, the smallest market in the NFL, but Green Bay’s rich history and inland waterways make up for the lack of star power.
Final Thoughts
The Dallas Cowboys’ trade of Micah shares similarities to the Dallas Mavericks’ trade of Luka Doncic, but also has differences. Both he and Doncic are generational superstars who were traded to conference rivals. However, Parsons issued a public trade request on August 1, so the Cowboys’ trade wasn’t entirely unexpected, unlike Doncic’s decision not to publicly request a trade.
Doncic has been shining in Los Angeles with his stellar play and stunning body transformation. Micah Parsons’ stint in Green Bay remains to be seen, but he’s one of the highest-paid non-quarterback players in the NFL, and no one ever questioned whether or not he deserved the money.
