2024 - 2025 Dallas Mavericks Season Thread - This time we're not happy to just be here.

Featured Replies

Season ticket refunds and a 61% increase in prices for season tickets. That sure sounds like an ownership group trying to compile evidence of a lack of fan support so they can get approval for a move to Vegas, from an NBA league office who just hit a home run by having the single biggest upcoming star traded to the premier NBA franchise, after a supposedly talented GM who had made three previous tremendous trades suddenly made the worst trade in the history of organized sports.  

Or it’s just all a big coincidence.

    Dirk going to LA for Luka’s debut. Probably the biggest FU yet to this front office.

    Isn’t trading your star player and having all your good players injured and then raising ticket prices the plot of major league II?

Sometimes you have to interrupt the end of the world with a nice game of ball in the peach basket.

Caleb Martin? Y’all are mad about the Caleb trade? Good. Next I hope they trade all future picks to LA for the rights to Kwame Brown. I hope Kyrie demands a trade. I hope Nico gets Noro and shits himself at the presser where he shows off the colorful beads and pieces of hempen string he got for Kyrie. I hope that Jörmungandr and Hel break their chains, Fenrir swallows Odin, and that Surtr covers the earth in fire. Fuck Nico and fuck everything else.  

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

He gonna go home and fire up 2k?

lol somehow the Mavs got mentioned in the KD trade bonanza.

Either the league knows Nico is stupid and is using him to get leverage for the Suns/GSW.

Or he's really dumb enough to think they can get him and even should go get a player over 35.

I’m sure PHX would gladly take that 2029 pick, it’s like a bitcoin bonanza in value.

How does a KD to Dallas deal look logistically? The salary matching would mean we have a bench of 2 guys

Probably the worst GM decision in history.  Congrats Nico

It doesn't. It would be Klay, PJ, Naji, Gafford or they'd probably ask for Lively too...plus Nico would stupidly send ALL the picks for a 36 YO.

I mean sure, Kyrie/Christie/KD/AD and either Gafford or Lively at the 5 is salty for a year or two.  But they couldn't pull it off or have a bench.

No probably about it. This is the worst.

Now we are fat shaming the assistant coaches! Let’s make Ozempic the jersey sponsor.

Do it. There is no future. Nothing matters. Who cares.

NBA commissioner should void the trade.  It stinks of fix.

I’m still in absolute shock… my love for the NBA runs deep and I could give two fucks about any upcoming game. Maybe I’ll tune in to watch Luka deep dick us on national TV, but I already cancelled my League Pass.

I was not even this depressed after '06. At least we had finally toppled the Spurs and made it farther than we ever had before. It was a tough pill to swallow losing the finals, but as time went on, you could look back and remember how great the journey was. 

There is just nothing redeemable about this. And it gets worse every day.

I don't. Fuck them.

 

I hope Luka wins 5 MVPs and scoring titles, and that soul sucking franchise loses in the first round every year.  I love luka but not enough to cheer for the Lakers.

 

 

As for the Mavs if they don't add a ball handler.  A guy who can initiate offenses so Kai doesn't have to every single play, they're cooked.  "win now" or not.

When Lebron is gone I can think of no good reason not to root for them. At least until the piles or excrement running the Mavs right now are gone.

Holy shit, rooting for the Lakers?

I was just doing a wellness check drive by, and this place is getting dark.

Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance. The 5 stages of Grief.

I went from 1 to 4 and back to 2.  I'm firmly in stage 3 now.  "Maybe Dirk can take over as GM when Nico leaves and persuade Luka to come back".  "Maybe Cuban jr will buy back the team in 20 years and hire Luka back as GM." "It wouldn't be so bad to root for a team that also has Doe and Maxi..."

We need to update the Thread title to

2024 - 2025 Dallas Mavericks Season Thread - Stage 3: Depression”

It’s not rooting for the Lakers as much as it’s wanting Luka to rub it in how big of a fuck up this is.

And now we get Boston with no AD or PJ and Tony Brothers in the house. Just a perpetual nut stomp.

Beating the fuck out of the Celtics right now.  It doesn't make up for anything that's been done, but it is nice for a bit.

Is it? I had this game circled for months and forgot it was on until I got a score alert. I feel nothing.

Ditto. 

Watching Luka cheer on his Lakers teammates but look as dead inside as 7,000,000 DFW residents breaks my sports heart in about 15 ways. 
 

fuck. you. nico. 

All I could think of when looking at the box score is how deadly this team would be at full strength with Luka if Klay is shooting like that. Can’t believe we barely even got a taste of that death lineup.

Thinking of going to the 25 February game when the Mavericks come to town versus LA just so I could hurt myself even more

Man I was hype for that game. This fucking sucks 

10 of the next 13 at home.  If they're going to make a move, this is a good time to do it.

Sorry it hurts you guys.  It is devastating.

 

But I'm sorry that was a GREAT win and i'm happy for it.  I'll never get over losing luka like that...it would have been better if he forced his way out.  But i gotta keep moving now.

Nah, I get what those guys are saying and have said the same shit and meant it. But I still love the players and it was Boston so I was all in. 

Saying fuck it and moving forward with a team owned and managed by these vile motherfuckers is battered wife shit.
