Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[SleepingHero]

My 2 cents...

I have watched the Mavs since they were born in 1980...I was a Reunion Rowdie and damn proud of it...back then Brad Davis was one of my favorite players along with Larry Bird...then the 90s came and I watched as Perot Jr. and a used car salesman turned the franchise into the biggest joke in sports history...we had 3 young players but a controversy with a certain female lead to the demise of the 3 Js...that whole time I was in Dallas and got laughed at because I still wore my Mavs gear in public...then the Nelsons and Cuban came in and we had a big 3 of Dirk, Nash, and Finley...we ended the Malone and Stockton legacy in game 5...soon Nash was deemed too risky to keep around due to health concerns...then we got screwed by the refs gifting the Heat a title...next season we got embarrassed in the first round...soon Dirk finally got enough help and having the greatest playoff run in history...CBA expert Cuban decided to nuke that team and Benedict Kidd left for another team...Cuban decided to go big fishing annually while quality FAs got snagged up immediately each FA year...kept getting the We Love Our Boys in Blue speeches...Finally we got Dirk's heir in Luka...lived through the KP drama...now we have Luka being dealt to our enemy for a unacceptable return...45 years of ups and downs...

As a MFFL I still will be cheering on the only team I've ever loved...this is still not as bad as the 90s and I stuck through it...the day I quit cheering the Mavs is the day I stop breathing...

Now more than ever we should be using our energy to root for our team not attack each other...the Mods who I worked with  for a while only had the best interests of the community who have done this on the side with nothing in return to keep this place alive..they are humans and are not perfect and just like me have made mistakes doing their job...at least you don't have Fish being a final decision maker and instead multiple folks who make major decisions as a group instead of my way or the highway...this place is add free and not driven by filling someone's wallet...

Live long and prosper...and be a good human...

The honorable Clutch has graced us with an incredible post here. 

I appreciate these words man.  I agree that I'll be sticking through this nadir point in Mavs history and it rings so true that we should be using our energy to root for the guys actually donning the Mavs jersey. We've discussed ad nauseum the FO and their....puzzling.... choices to put it lightly. I don't think anyone disagrees on that. I think we are all at some levels of angry at the front office. I think this is a safe place to vent but there is a balance to be struck and we've swung the pendulum too far in one direction.

So thank you for coming back and contributing a nice thoughtful post my man.
