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

My best friend that's the Mavs fan actually mentioned this yesterday afternoon when we were talking. I told him I hope they don't borrow the part from the first movie and wind up with a cutout of Miriam Adelson or Dumont.

The ironic part is if we hadn't traded Luka, we would probably be able to weather this storm while Kyrie is out. Gonna be funny when this all comes crumbling down after Kyrie declines his player option this summer and we're left with an aging, always hurt AD as the only piece to build around.

Did Luka curse the place as he left? wtf. I feel for Mavs fans. God damn 

Also feels there’s a culture problem in your S&C program for all the injuries

Nico/Adelson's cursed this team and every remaining player on it.  I hope the STH renewal rate is abysmal.

So do the Adelsons so they can move the team to Vegas 🤮

We had one of the most respected S&C programs in the league until Nico fired the head trainer because he couldn't get Luka to stop drinking beer.

Real Mavs fans don’t deserve this.  
 

Mother fucking Nico and Kidd will be gone in a year and we’re left with this dumpster fire. 
 

season from hell.

Nico Harrison turned a championship window extending out past the next decade into a fight to tank for Cooper Flagg.  

They literally can’t get him. There is no way they could tank Enough.  Heck as bad as the teams behind them are they might still make the fucking play in. 😩

That’s been debunked so many times.  They are NOT moving the team. It’s important for their hopes of legalized gambling here. 
 

Besides the league and owners would make way more by expanding to Vegas. Not moving  team there. 
 

This was not a play to move Dallas. They just have no fucking clue what they’re doing.

Not true. If we get into the lottery we have an 8% chance of our ping pong ball rolling out first.

You're right...

The Mavericks have NEVER moved up in the lottery.  Only stayed in their spot or went Down.

but sure...some astronomical chance it happens.

 

If David Stern were still here, he'd probably assure Dallas got the top pick as a make up.  Doubt we move up at all though.

They are 4 games back of getting into the top 10. If AD gets shut down the rest of the way they will be well inside the top 10. 

You see the teams behind us right? The Suns want to win but can't...everyone else is not winning at all.

Mavs still have a good chance of just staying pat at 10th. Which is even worse, ugh.

That makes all of this even worse.  I guess I can officially move the NBA to the list of sports I don't really follow.  This whole episode reminds me of how I felt when Beard got arrested...just a "no way that just happened" thing.

Agreed...there was just no reasoning behind this other than Nico saying "I don't like Luka or his work ethic, so let's get rid of him"

That's way too long for my patience @Bozo_Casanova. And yeah, I mean about moving too. If this is gonna be the ownership group long term then I'm fucking out anyway so who gives a shit. 

My son pointed out in the car this morning that Kyrie was crying when he was shooting those free throws, and I just told him "then you already know what the MRI is going to say." 😔

Fuck everything.

Hearing they also raised season ticket prices again by 13%. This is after they raised the prices 30% last offseason. Incredible effort to tank the value of a franchise in a matter of weeks. 

They “only” raised ours about 4%, but last year they also gave us a 10% loyalty discount. The ticket rep called the guy who buys our tickets every year and made it clear that they would not be offering any kind of loyalty discount today. 

He told her we were done because the team is shitty, Luka is gone, and prices keep going up.

I feel really bad for those ticket reps right now.

to a consortium lead by dirk who manages to convince luka to come home.

Sell? Yes.  once they realize that gambling won't be legalized here.

Move? ONly if you're talking to Irving or some other north texas city...the mavs are NOT going to Vegas. Or some other City/region

Remember when Nico decided we had too many guards, so we traded away Quentin Grimes to the 76ers for Caleb Martin? Grimes just dropped 44 points a few days ago. Martin has yet to play a single game. 

But hey, maybe we'll get KD. I'm sure stars are lining up to hear offers from the Mavs, what with all the money we've saved from the Luka trade. /s

Four year max for Ky?

 

His work ethic and absolute dedication to his craft, it’s cut from the cloth of greats. I know it, I lived it, and I see the same ferocity and passion in him that I saw in (Hall of Fame guard) Kobe (Bryant)," Harrison said, alluding to his past work with Bryant for Nike.
