Poll: How long before fans' emotions return to normal?

[loki]

Things will return to normal once Nico is run out of Dallas and the Mavs have a future again. Not expecting it any time soon.

Halfway there a decade ahead of schedule. Not bad.

I think the challenge this year is that Mavs fans will have to watch Luka cruise to an MVP award with inferior numbers due to the revenge narrative and uniform he's wearing.

Vulnerability still exists they have to get younger.

We cannot trust any injured guy

Old vets 30 +
AD if he goes down we have Cooper and PJ so might become a position were we have more need
Irving if he goes down Dlo is there but he needs to prove himself while he can to demonstrate he can hit 40% from 3
Exum When he goes down we have Nembhard and B Will
Powell TRADE HIM FOR A 2nd round pick
Klay Old man still produces he is one guy I worry a lot less about since he has been hurt and shown he could become less injury prone so he takes less risk and can stay healthier now.

Under 30 we can count on the most if our older vets go down are playing from strong to weak PF SF C PG SG in order left to right from strongest to weakest position.
Cooper,
Lively,
PJ,
NAJI,
Gafford,
DLo, (29)
B Will,
Max,
Kelly,
Nembhard,
Hardy,
Martin, (29)
OMax,

Hopefully we dump Powell, OMax, Martin and maybe Hardy too.

That solves the Exum situation and would free up two more roster spots one of which I would use to add Kai Jones and maybe Kessler Edwards. I think you can develop the value of Hardy a bit more before trading him so I might give him a half a season to develop and trades at the TDL

Who would have thought that we were less than a year from both of these things happening?

I remembered this thread when reading that article about the Mavs fans contribution to the firing of Nico.  I felt like the original post in this thread so soon after that catastrophic trade was as tone deaf as the folks that pulled the trigger.  There is a point as fans where you don't just sit back and take whatever your team is doing.  You either bail or you get angry and stay angry and communicate it.  I'm kind of proud to be part of a fan base that expressed enough outrage to actually drive real change.

The fans are not the only ones who get credit. Nico does as well - the GM-ing choices he made, when held up to the light of day, made it clear he was in WAYYYYYYY over his head and had no real expertise for the job. And he didn't have the character to hire and utilize people smarter than him, to make him able to ever rise beyond his own level of expertise. The feedback from the whole NBA world on one thing after another made it clear that the emperor in Dallas was grossly butt-naked.

There may be no loyalty in business but Dallas Mavericks fans have proven they are the most loyal fans imo. It's comforting knowing the public still has influence.

Much more influence than I'd have guessed, tbh. I agree, this has been a pretty powerful display by DFW sports fans.

Agree.

A great fanbase. Fantastic.

It won’t take a championship, but they’ll at least need to win 50+ games. Many of the lifetime fans who’ve been with the team since they were founded will have passed on by then.
