Love the players. Will cheer for them now and for whatever team they go to in the future. But when it comes to blind fandom — loyalty runs both ways. The organization has spoken. They don't respect fans. They don't respect Dirk. They don't respect what you've built along with this community. The staff is miserable. The fans are making their voices heard. And the response from the org? More insults. More prioritizing an egomaniac's plan over what DALLAS wants. So what happens when every single thing you loved about your team gets stripped away to the point that all that is recognizable is a horse logo?
MFFL... I'm sorry but this version of the Mavs does not deserve fans for life.
What I hate most about the Luka trade is who made it. Nico Harrison hasn’t earned enough equity with Mavs fans to trade Luka.
Nico wasn’t around for Reunion Arena.
Nico wasn’t around during the 3 yr playoff drought.
Nico hasn’t earned the right to risk.

Losing the NBA Finals in 2006 and 2024 really sucked, but losing Luka Doncic is legitimate pain.
I really can’t get over this one. He gave Dallas Mavericks fans a reason to watch basketball after Dirk retired.
The fans loved him. The city loved him.
My heart is broken. If you’re ever lucky enough to land a true franchise-carrying sports unicorn and all time great — Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, Magic, Bird, Shaq, Steph, Dirk — you don’t trade them. You build an empire around them. You thank the Sports gods for being so generous to have miraculously blessed your life with an absolute miracle.
And God forbid if you were ever forced to trade such a HoF unicorn, the return better be so much that you reshape your future with so many 1st round draft picks, and young players that you can almost make sense of it.
This just doesn’t add up for me
Yall do not understand. Luka WANTED to be here, nobody besides Dirk, has ever WANTED to be here. Luka wanted to do what Dirk did & was on his way. Luka was OURS, he was Dallas & he was special. Just like Dirk. We wanted to retire him & build his statue too. I’m so heartbroken.
Never went back to sleep. Man this is absolutely brutal. Makes no sense from a talent, entertainment, longevity, draft capital, or health perspective.
We’re sorry 77. No one wanted this.
