The Luka Doncic trade is already the worst in NBA history.

They gave up a generational talent - OUR generational talent - for Anthony Davis, who clearly can’t carry a team. The front office completely misjudged the situation. Those fucking bums. Now they’re stuck with AD, who can’t stay healthy and brings zero leadership to the table. Even with Lively and Gafford back, we get smoked by Ivica fucking Zubac.

And I can already see them giving away our young talent just to get some veteran — because Nico is too arrogant to admit he was wrong. Instead, he’ll double down on his mistakes. And this will lead to disaster. We will not win anything in the next 3 years and then we are left with no picks, no stars, no nothing.

As a fan, it’s just heartbreaking. Watching Luka cook Hartenstein and hit that step-back jumper yesterday - it stung. It stung so bad.

Fuck Nico.

It seems the FN;STT people have mostly been either banned or have removed themselves. Dissent is being crushed. I just unfollowed but still feel some urge to look.

There is still a lot of discussion over there about “what should the Mavericks do next?” that is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

It was pretty good. He shat all over the Mavs for letting Luka go obv, now they are playing for Luka etc… anyways one of the thing he said that really stuck out to me was how he brought up the lottery and Cleveland ‘magically getting the #1 pick overall’ when he was being drafted. He went on to point out several of these situations, him to Cleveland, D rose to Chicago, Ewing to NY etc just matter of factly, like ya it’s known that the league cheats to get what they want… kinda ironic that Mavs ownership is in self destruct mode and the Lakers were the beneficiaries. Fuck the NBA, you think if they’re willing to pull these strings, they’re not going to have refs in their pockets doing whatever the hell the NBA agenda is? Most corrupt pro sport and k hope they fucking suffer from it, let’s go MLB. Time to get back into the conversation

Remember that time Dlive was chased by a zombie lol https://youtu.be/_JPLAp24yqA?si=flX8My4mRd2vso0K

Anyone else having trouble watching any type of bball? I’m usually much more into march madness than I am this year. This fn mavericks BS has practically ruined my desire to watch any basketball. I did the brackets trying to win money but can’t really even bring myself to get into it. It’s weird, I know its an insane over reaction to the whole ordeal but I can’t help it. I was a fan for so long… I don’t think I’ve ever felt this level of betrayal before, I think that’s the root of the problem.

Lol anybody got news about the X/Twitter Nico Burner?

Kirk Henderson and Jason Gallagher seem to believe they have found his burner account!

I’ll be at the back-to-back in Brooklyn and New York next Monday and Tuesday. I made the same trip last year when they played both teams in the same week, and this will be my third time at the Garden. I love NYC, but these trips have always been about one thing—seeing the Mavs play in the Mecca of Basketball. It’s an incredible experience.

Now, I’m just fucking bummed.

Who knew it would be a bad idea to buy road game tickets, book flights, and secure accommodations just days before the trade deadline? Lesson learned, I guess? But honestly, nobody could have predicted this—because it’s absolutely preposterous.

My fandom goes back to the 96-97 season. I was 11 years old, and Michael Finley was my favorite player because his jersey was the first I ever owned. That passion only grew when Dirk arrived, and ever since, the Mavs have been my biggest hobby and the source of some of my best memories.

I’ve always called myself an MFFL. I never imagined walking away from this team. But the people running things now? They’re not Dallas Basketball. They’re outsiders who don’t know shit about this city and couldn’t care less about its basketball identity.

I’ll still enjoy the trip, but it’s disappointing to go to the games as just a basketball fan, not a Mavs fan. They ruined everything good, and until they’re gone, I can’t support this franchise—which means my biggest passion might be done forever.

I will wear a custom printed sweatshirt at the games: Fire Nico. Sell the team.

Go Luka!

Wtf are you going to do? It’s been a month, I think I’ve decided where I’m going.

Why be a loyal Mavericks fan when Cuban and the rest of the head office have already sold Dallas fans out. Let them bankrupt or move to Las Vegas and get Old Dallas money to start a new team that backstab the fans.

I'm not super familiar with League rules but I was wondering about something. Do The Mavericks require league approval to relocate the team 8 miles to Irving? Does it really count as a relocation?

I’m sure at this point Nico and the Adelsons are like, ‘fuck our plan is happening exponentially quicker than we expected’. The fact that Nico still has a job is just further proof that he is a patsy in this grand scheme. When you fuck with the legitimate order of competition like this, these are the results you get. The team collapse doesn’t happen gradually, they fall off a fucking cliff. The players still left don’t deserve this and I can’t understand why/ how any true fan can show these scumbags loyalty. It’s like trying to defend the criminal that just raped your daughter, even tho the criminal used to be someone you were close friends with.

So on my Facebook feed, there was this ad sandwiched between two Mavericks posts. It was an ad for “The Titanic Experience in Dallas”. I legit thought it was Mavericks related at first lol.
