I don't know what moving forward looks like.  I'll root for the players, for the team.  But I'll never root for Nico or the Adelsons* again.  

*unless definitive evidence shows it was a lone wolf decision on Nico's part.

 

There is a theory which started on the Bucks boards that Jason Kidd had more of an influence on moving on from Luka than he and Nico are admitting to.  According to the MIL fans, Kidd's player personnel mgt back then mirrored what's happening now- he only wanted and only played players who weren't defensive liabilities.  Ran several players out of MIL who he deemed were defensive liabilities.  It's why Jaden Hardy got zero minutes last night and zero minutes in Philly, getting slotted behind KESSLER EDWARDS.  The 27 minutes he played against Cleveland were maybe a showcase for a potential trade that didn't materialize.  I don't believe this theory. But it's out there.

    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?

That is interesting. The development of Hardy or lack thereof has been pretty bizarre though. I don't want him moved but I would be very interested to see what he would look like with a full season under a staff that has shown they can develop young talent.

This dude is in way over his head. You cannot do this deal and not face the music.

He can’t even answer softball questions from our spineless local sports media. 

Holy shit…

Wife and FiL at the game tonight (tickets purchased months ago) so I hope things don’t get out of hand!

My kids at the game. He had fire Nico on his Luka jersey. Security made him take it off. He said out front was packed with folks chanting. But inside is deafening 

The most annoying part about AD playing well is Nico is going to think he was right to take the deal he did. 

the one upside to all the "Mavs got fleeced" is it should motivate Davis and the rest of the team.  we will see how long that lasts.

Davis already hurt it seems. 
This is going to be Lamar Odom 2.0. AD has zero interest in being here and I don't blame him. Luka has no real interest in being in LA.

Luka will thrive in LA. He might have been truthful about loving Dallas and spending his career with the Mavs but he does have an ego and his profile will be bigger in LA if he continues playing at a generational level.

AD’s game today does not suggest he has zero interest in being here. 

“Luka’s conditioning” >>>>>> an injury prone 32 year old 7 footers conditioning. 
 

fuck you nico. Your crown jewel of the dumbest trade in sports history couldn’t even play 3 quarters before getting hurt.

I see $$$. Print and dare.

his nickname isn't "street clothes" for nutin'...

That debut was electric. And then I fell asleep. Woke up and he's hurt. But then I got a massage. So, tbd.

Seems like they didn't let any signs in to the stadium.  A blanket X on any negative statements against the owners or Nico.

Soft.

pretty much. 

I guess I was glad they won yesterday. Max Christie is really good and has huge upside. Anthony Davis is a top 10 player. Once Lively and PJ are back, that's the best frontcourt in the league and I think the Mavs are a legit title contender who can go 10 deep if everyone is healthy for the playoffs. 


I don't really care though. I like these players but this doesn't feel like the organization that I loved for 45 years.

it’s not AD’s fault, and I don’t advocate self harm… but Nico should just disappear forever. 

Edited by Firemans4Horn

I’m just waiting for Nico and Dumont to release a statement blaming Mavs fans for rushing AD back when playing him 30+ minutes coming off an injury was always a wild decision. 

Street Clothes

so fucking funny.  Nico can leave now, please.

you can't make this shit up.

you can't, because its so obvious. reads like lazy screenwriting.

.. and call me a fatshamer, but there is something grotesque about someone out of shape getting on a soapbox to talk about others working or not working hard
