Tony Brothers reffing Mavs games is as undefeated as the finest piece of ass. Fucking sack of shit. Flagg raped on two no-calls in clutch time. 

Yeah my kid made me watch. 

This was a great night. Flagg had a great game and we lost. One loss closer to Nico being canned and a lottery pick next year.

Awesome. They fired the guy they should've never let trade a generational player and set the franchise on fire by doing so. Maybe fire yourselves while you're at it for being utterly clueless about how the NBA works.

Good.  But it doesn't fix anything.  

On any plan to right the ship step 1 is fire Nico.  After that there are a lot of great decisions that have to be made, but no I don't trust this group to make them.

There's a permanent Luka shaped void that, short of us trading AD and Coop plus all our draft picks to get him back, won't be filled.  I might care for the team again down the road but right now that road looks like I-10 out in West Texas.

Another nice next step would be settling the petty bullshit with the only fucking successful franchise in town as the Mavs look like an absolute shit partner in the Stars ordeal as well the more I've read about it.  So do that, publicly apologize and admit you made a massive fucking mistake with the trade, then hire someone that is going to just blow it all up and start a rebuild around Flagg.  That might be something I can start supporting again.   Obviously the best case would be Adelson/Dumont is over all of this shit and just sells the team but doubt we're that lucky.

letting him off easy.

No longer has to attend games and take the abuse.

I seriously don't understand this line of thinking. This franchise needs to heal and it was never going to happen with Nico around. Dude is a cancer and needs to be removed. He'll never work in the NBA again yet we're supposed to keep him around so the fans can keep yelling at him every game?

There isn’t a line of thinking.

It’s making Nico lie in his own bed and be miserable every game

Now he gets to escape town, probably with a severance package and live comfortably

Fuck this organization

Just move them to Vegas already. Fuck them indeed. Dirk has even distanced himself from this shit show. He was in LA to watch Luka opening night, not in Dallas. Speaks volumes. Was on some talking heads show/podcast saying he feels sorry for the Dallas fans. Dirk lived and breathed the Mavs, the most iconic player Dallas has ever had. And in a very short time, they drove him to this point. All the dominoes started to fall when Cuban sold the team to the Vegas scum.

I get what you are saying but that's how it works in that world. CEO's get golden parachutes all the time after going scorched earth and making bad decision after bad decision. Absolutely had to fire him, no way around it. The whole franchise became a mockery based on one move, which he's responsible for.

I still believe some funny business was going on. Trading him to the biggest market in the NBA, for pretty much nothing, at like midnight on a random Saturday night. Nico has ties to LA. That was the only team that was contacted for this trade. Dallas then gets the #1 pick months later. Did the NBA put the call in to give the Lakers Luka and they'd reward Dallas with the #1 pick? With as crooked this league is, 100% plausible. If you want to trade Luka, wait until the summer and wait for the long line of suitors and make them bid against themselves. Dallas could have gotten a huge haul. Not a broken down AD and some throw in junk.

This was like trading Dirk the year after he lost to Miami in the Finals. Both right in the middle of their prime.

If Dumont hires an actual basketball person (Dennis Lindsey would be a good get) there's a scenario where we are back in contention in 2-3 years. Dumont fucked up--big time. But I personally don't have a problem with an owner that isn't a micromanager, he just fucked up by putting trust in a guy that is the worst GM in league history. 

A lot of the distance from Dirk was created by Nico. The next guy will fix that day 1. If they tank this year, get a decent return for AD, Klay, and possibly Gafford, there is something to work with there.

This is what Darryl Royal meant when he told Mack to get the BBs back in the box.

Yea, just me being a rube.


100% some handshake deal went down to keep the lakers relevant, who also had no future for 5 years post AD/Lebron. and oh here’s cooper Flagg…the next great white hope for Dallas falling into your laps @ .9%

I’d bet my mortgage Dallas doesn’t win the lottery if it wasn’t done behind close doors…which has still never made sense to me to this day. Id rather watch that process than jay bilas’ top 5 prospect breakdowns for 20 min

I feel like this his been covered 100 times, but this as a conspiracy doesn’t make any sense. The Mavs plan was to make the playoffs after the trade, and they would have if one or both of AD and Kyrie don’t get hurt. Playoffs equals no lottery equals no Flagg.

Even with all the injuries, the Mavs were still fighting to get in. Beat the Kings in the 9-10 play-in and they were clearly trying against the Grizz for the privilege to get swept by the Thunder. Nothing about the way they handled the last month of the season indicated they had a wink wink deal for a rigged lottery. 

It wouldn’t shock me if it was rigged for us once we missed the playoffs and the NBA threw a bone to an entire fan base on the ledge. But it wasn’t part of the initial trade or thrown in as a sweetener because the NBA was trying to keep the Lakers relevant.

Fire Nico

Sell the team

 

halfway to having the Mavericks back. 

Will you accept moving the mavs to Vegas and then Dallas fighting for an expansion franchise?

if they get casinos in Texas, they’ll hold on to the team and build that shit out. If they dont, they’ll move the team.  I do not see selling as part of their plan.

I can finally start caring at least a little now.

I'll never get over it...I still can't watch Luka play at all.  I'm so disgusted.  Probably won't until he leaves the lakers, if ever.

My favorite player and I can't stomach to watch him for another team.

Stop. they are NOT moving the team.  They have a whole complex planned where old Texas stadium was.  It wouldn't benefit them at all to move.

And on the other end of that spectrum I’m enjoying watching him flourish at a team I’ve hated my entire life.

I typed a long post about what could be, but decided I don’t really give a fuck and deleted it. However, this was a very important first step. As was hiring Gina Miller as Chief Communications Office earlier. Solving the Stars debacle out of goodwill would go a long way too. 

Im still probably a few seasons away before wanting to buy tickets and search for games on TV, and that is only after they put a winner on the floor, which will necessitate the new GM do obvious things - move Klay and Day to Davis. But this was a massive step, and to Dumont’s credit (puke) he didn’t give Nico much rope this season.

you do you...I can't watch him on that POS franchise.  I'm a mavs fan through and through...not caring about this season has been difficult. But i'm not jumping ship.

Ok. Now see what you can get for AD and Klay. We need to restock our draft picks and find young players that are on Coops timeline. 

Unfortunately you need these guys to be healthy and somewhat prominent to extract max value for them.

This. Fans need to start “Sell the Team” chants.  Be as unrelenting as Fire Nico. She told Nico to do the trade, you’ll never convince me otherwise. Even if I’m wrong they still need to disappear for me to give a single fuck about this franchise ever again.

Who bitched about relenting pressure?  I think this is an instance where that pressure hastened his demise.

They bought the team thinking they had the clout to change Texas' decision to ban casinos. That hasn't happened, though and doubt it ever will. I would think that can change their mind on if they want to move to team to more than likely Vegas, 

Fuck Cuban for selling to them. It's been nothing but shit since they took over.

Fuck Mark Cuban. He doesn't get to say shit about fuck anymore. It's partially his fucking fault for selling the team to a group that didn't give a shit about Dallas, the Mavericks, the team, the fans, Dirk, etc. So yeah, fuck Cuban.
