Mavs Owner (Patrick Dumont) craps on Luka Doncic's work ethic

[Indomitable]

They are doing more damage to make sure Luka will never come back. Not even in 10 years when all are gone

I am sorry, I know I would never forgive the betrayal.
This trade is an insult to any NBA fan. Trading Luka at 25 should have meant 2 All-stars and draft picks.

How can the league survive?

Most young people I know do not take it seriously and this only makes the whole thing look more corrupt.

Anthony Davis Plans To Sign Extension With Mavericks

And now they're also discussing if he'll need surgery, which means end of the season. Interesting. Dumont sure looks like a pure genius right now.

He yells and complains at refs instead of getting back on D, thats not a leader. He got burned for the game-winning basket against Utah, and blamed teammates, not a leader. He's constantly out of shape, not a leader. So no, he's more those guys than other leaders/superstars

You know that's not true. He even apologized after the game. But you know who we never heard taking blame after games if they lost? Their main guy who should lead them all, coach Kidd. It's always something else, never him. Luka never threw his team mates under the bus, he ALWAYS took the punch. I wouldn't say that is such a bad leadership to me.
And i know you don't like Nuggets because you would go crazy watching Jokic doing the same with refs lol.... and i never heard anyone saying he's not a good leader because of that.

We have to be honest here, some of Nico's takes about Luka have we heard many times on this board. I'm sure some here would gladly trade Luka too, but it's true very unlikely for AD to Lakers. I believe that Nico didn't think how he's selling Luka, but how he's buying AD and that's the main reason for getting so little for Luka.

This ownership really keeps topping themselves. Mavs fans need to stop going to the games. Hit them the only place it hurts. Let them tank the value of the Mavericks so they can panic sell to somebody who will bring back the culture we all bought into. Hell, maybe Cuban will buy back his shares. If they move the team, fine. It's better than this crap.

I have no idea how this ownership group can mend things with the Mavs fanbase going forward. At this point, I wont be surprised if they move the team, so they fulfill their agenda. The culture has been ruined. Cuban can be balmed at this point.

They can't move the team for team for 7 years. So we are stuck with them.

Selling and moving on with the NBA for a plan so they can be future owners of a team in another city is best.

This group won't ever be able to draw any star talents. It was already difficult to do and now it's going to be next to impossible. We'll be used for mid level talent and bottomfeeders to use to cash in.

This off-season for us will be more sad times.

Yep. AD was his guy.

Nico & Dumont, corporate guys in over their head. The worst betrayal in NBA history.

Luka admitted to having maturity issues... that's better than a lot of superstars. Really, you rarely ever see that. He's YOUNG!!!

What kind of a leader was MJ at 25? Answer: He wasn't.

What kind of body did MJ have in the first portion of his career: Answer, not a body capable of winning an NBA championship (lacked physical strength exposed by the Pistons)

Luka is a MANIACAL competitor with the ability to do something about it. He LOVED the biggest moments. That's half the battle to winning a championship.

Corporate in over his head Nico and corporate in over his head Dumont threw it all away.

We SHOULD have had a Luka statue next to the Dirk statue. Nico/Dumont are NOT going to replace that. EVER

[Jax_23]

Mavs owner Limpd*** Dumbc*nt, I mean Patrick Dumont, and Nico Harrisonuvab*** have now positioned themselves as the most incompetent duo in all of sports. And apparently, they've now decided that doubling down on their generational stupidity and fragile ego is a good idea. Congrats on the accomplishment. Boycott these bastards.

[arkuo]

History will judge Nico's move whether he wins a championship with this bunch or not. I think if he's able to win a ring out of it, then it's the right gamble. Sucks to lose Luka in this manner, but a ring is a ring no matter how you spin it. Lebron and the super friends assemblee in Miami and those banners are still up there.

I think if it was up to Nico or Dumont there wouldn't be a Dirk statue and Dirk would have been traded most likely.

There's a small difference, LeBron was the best player in Nba in his prime in Miami. You honestly believe that 32+ years old Kyrie or AD could do that? Funny thing is that prime Luka might be able to win a ring with AD, whom Lakers didn't want give an extension, so he might have been available for a lot less next year.

It's ok, let him keep that standard. But of Dallas doesn't win at all and Luka wins any ring, no more excuses, narratives or whatever

We have seen how franchise has imploded in 10 days time and we're talking about rings?

@KeithSmithNBA
None of this is a good look from the Mavericks. You can't blame the fans for being frustrated and angry. You can't dodge the media forever. You made the trade, now deal with the consequences and how fans feel about it like grownups and professionals.

Embarassing organization.

The lion's share of blame for the failures absolutely belongs to Kidd, Nico, and the new owner(who probably never worked hard a day in his life; his parents handed him everything).

I was just saying it seems like so many people were saying poor Luka; he's so innocent and was stabbed in the back. Was he done wrong? Absolutely, the fan base more so because of the garbage return they got for him. But he has some accountability here too, he needs to mature and understand fitness si a huge part of hsi responsibility as an athlete

Yeah agree with what you said but in the other quote you worded it like Luka is the worst guy in the NBA to lead your team. Specially when you said he blamed his team mates. That was confusing His initial reaction in that game was shock because he probably thought someone is covering his back. But after the game it was different.
But to be honest, if they played that game as they should have, it wasn't even suppose to come to the last shot anyway. Lakers demolished Jazz last night lol.

He is not the worst leader; I just think he's closer to an Embiid/Zion-level leader than other stars. But he's a far betetr player than both those guys, no argument there.

That's a shame.
Welcome to China Mavericks.

[Sandy333]

Mavs Owner has been suckered by his sold out GM. He sold his best player for Davis with career/ season ending injury. AD did this for his friend Lebron, he was hiding this injury till the first game.

[arkuo]

In any protest, you need to support of rich people to make it happen. Those season ticket holders courtside have to band together and say we're out. Otherwise it's just not gonna work.

No offense, but the guys protesting outside the AAC look unemployed. The season ticket holders and big wigs still have their courtside seats inside with their kids. Someone has to involve those guys so this thing gets its wheels. Otherwise it just looks like some bums brought an empty coffin with a Luka jersey outside the arena. You need the support of the rich folks there to make it actionable for ownership to actually boot Nico out. There is no call to action there.
