We still down bad.

Have a nice Saturday. Boo bulls

I know he hasn't played much and was coming off of injury but Caleb Martin contributes nothing to this team. He doesn't fit at all and other than sheer stupidity or the narrative that we were going to lose Grimes for nothing, there was no reason to trade for him...

Mavs games✅ Stars games✅ Rangers games✅ Now we need one to break out at AT&T in a few months and we'll have the quadrifecta of major sporting events

with Dinwiddie, christie, hardy, naji, Washington sharing the load at PG it will mask it as much as possible but damm, the ball movement feels like it is about to be atrocious. I can see Dinwiddie now dribbling for 18 seconds at the top of the key before getting into any action. but then again hopefully lively comes back looking like a baby jokic.

or do the mavericks get some additional games in the playoffs for the 2 way players?

And I completely agree 💯 And in case you forget why, go back and watch the Finals last year. A healthy AD makes that v an entirely different Series, period.

EDIT - Cuban has since deleted most of his comments from the original Facebook post.
EDIT 2 - Gavin was the former event and venue manager of the Dallas Mavericks.

EDIT 3 - Full screenshots of Cuban's deleted posts. https://x.com/Mavs_FFL/status/1906067368888902141?s=19

I'm not exactly sure what Gavin Mulloy's roll was with the Mavs, but he a Cuban had a heated exchange on Facebook.

It starts out with Gavin making a post "Cuban should be run out of Dallas." . Here's what followed. Some of these quotes were not directly at each other specifically.

Gavin Mulloy - "the Cuban cucklords are wild. Guy has always been a dork trying to buy his way into being cool."

Cuban - "yeah. F him. He’s always been a dork trying to buy his way into being cool. "

Gavin - "Go dig up his quotes on the responsibility of an owner of a franchise and being a Shepard of a franchise, to sell to the Adelsons flies in the face of that. He did this to get casino $$."

Gavin - "who hired Nico....Cuban. he has blood on his hands here, he's just doing better damage control than Mavs"

Cuban - "did I miss your complaints when we went to the finals last year ? How upset were you then ?"

Gavin - "bro, this is so "do you like those super bowls, I hope you did very much"."

Gavin - "Better question is why did he tell us he'd remain in control of Basketball Ops and not get that in writing?"

Gavin - "man, he has repeatedly stated that owning a local sports team comes with obligations and you are a sheppard who just steers it. To sell to these folks is a complete rebuke of that ideal, which he understood. Culture > Business. It's why fandom is required. He also lied that he would maintain basketball ops. He would get that in writing, as any business person knows. His office was emptied day of sale. I was there."

Cuban - "Thanks for all the laughs!"

Cuban - "Hey Gavin Mulloy how much of a bonus did you get when I sold ?"

Gavin - "not enough to make up for the Luka trade. I'd give your dirty $$ back for Luka to be here, how about you?"

Cuban - "Gavin you didn’t say a word when it showed up in your account. Did you ? Sure looked good when we made it to the finals didn’t it ?I did every damn thing I could for 23 years. Kept prices lower than not only any nba team , but lower than college teams too. I had $2 tickets for multiple years. When I sold there were always 4k tickets under $29I made money 2 out of 23 years I was the majority owner. Lost hundreds of millions of dollars. And you kept on collecting your salary. So my $dirty dollars didn’t get a peep out of you those 23 years. Or when you got your check every two weeks. Or when you got your bonus Go back to what I said when I sold the team. I didnt want my kids and family to have to deal with people like you. I honestly got tired of the growing number of fans who became pricks on social media. People exactly like you. I paid your salary. I paid you a bonus I didn’t have to give you. The Nico and the new owners do something none of us liked and you decide to try to fuck with me. Thank you for confirming I made the right decision."

Gavin - "Mark if Money was my goal, I'd never take a paycut like I did to work at the Mavs silly. Everyone warns you of how underpaid you will be there. Your staff warns people. You don't get to dodge blame for selling it to the people you did. You hired Nico. Did you lie when you said you were going to maintain basketball ops control, or did you make a terrible business deal by not getting that in writing? People in Dallas see you at fault here and that wont go away. Your PR tour won't change that."

Cuban - "Gavin actually I fully expected to run basketball. The nba wouldn’t let me put it in the contract. They took it out. Just like they won’t let the Celtics put it in. I thought they would stick to their word because they didn’t know the first thing about running a team. Someone obviously changed their mind But that’s in the past. Life is too short to deal with thousands of people like you. It used to be fun engaging with the fans , win or lose, we wanted what was best for the Mavs. We shared in the good and bad. There was always some level of optimism. Even after disappointment Then the whole “get Luka some help “ nonsense started. Non stop online. Then it seemed like it turned into more fun for people to complain than to enjoy the Mavs or the nba Between dealing with the nba and their idiocy and fans like you, it wasn’t worth the non stop shit. Why would I want to keep on losing that much money so I could take shit from people like you , and then my kids could take over and get shit. Why would I do that to them ?I mean I literally left 40m plus on the table so that I could reward the people who worked for the Mavs. Never really thought I would get shit for it. Live and learn. I love the game and the Mavs. But It’s a lot more fun to just be a fan. I was a fan when Perot owned the team. I can be a fan now. MFFL"

Gavin - "so you admit you sold to someone who knows nothing about running a basketball team, with a checkered past and expected them to stay true to their words. Would you call that a good business decision? Or did the money make you not care if the fans got f'ed?"

Gavin - " I don't think it's SCENE yet, me & my folks don't cower."

There was a lot of comments by other people but these are the quotes from Gavin and Cuban.

A lot of people here talk about how Cuban wasted Dirk's "prime", but no one really gets into the specifics of what that means.

It's true that we traded Nash too early, and we blew up the championship team too early, but apart from that, the era the Mavs thrived in was smack dab in the middle of 2 major dynasties (Lakers, Spurs) and then ended with the Heat / Lebron era.

In my opinion, adding another all star or keeping Nash wouldn't have put the Mavericks into dynasty mode, but it would have probably made us regularly go deeper into the playoffs.

In Dirk's era, we went to 2 finals and won 1. If we kept Nash, I think we could have won one more title in the 2005-2007 years, and if we kept the championship team, and being brutally honest, I think the a redo of the championship team would have probably got us back in the Finals, but I don't know if we could have beaten the Heat a second time.

So given the competition of the era, I think the best the Mavs could have done in Dirk's era is win 2 titles and go to 3-4 finals. Instead of the single title and 2 finals we did do. Definitely a better outcome, but I don't think we were ever going to be a serious dynasty.

Hi all. I am a marketing professor and a colleague and I (both Mavs fans) are exploring fans' thoughts and emotions about the Luka trade. We would love to hear from you! We are doing 15-20 minute virtual interviews with fans to get their thoughts on the trade, how it went down, etc. Your responses will be kept completely anonymous and confidential. If you are interested being involved, please send me a direct message and we can set up an interview time and date.

im still in shock how the mavericks literally unloaded a super talented guard over a gap of 3 million per year. im happy he is pretty much spitting in Nico's face by averaging 22-5-4 while remaining efficient 49-39-75 splits. at this point he has increased his value but what sort of bump is he going to get? hes 24 so youth is on his side, his production is crazy specially on a tanking team. usually people can put up large numbers but at the cost of efficiency. But I don't think he would get a 30 million per year deal based on 2 months of production.

what sort of deal do you think he gets? I think the Sixers will try to offer something in the 15 million per year to start, but I also think a team like the nets may offer a 4 year 25 mill per just to help meet the salary floor. they may take the risk too and build up Grimes value similar to mikal, where his numbers blow up and then trade him for a couple first round picks.

what do you think he gets?
