Mavs Fans: What's the Strategy Going Forward? 

Post#1 » by Jax_23 » Tue Mar 11, 2025 4:33 pm

What are you gonna do now?

Are you gonna let the owner Patrick Dumc**t and Nico Harrisonuvab***h hijack and run your franchise into the ground?

Image

I'm loving the "Fire Nico" chants but I think you also should include owner. It starts at the top and this buffoon was the one to approve the trade.

If you fire Nico, the owner will just hire another idiot. And I doubt he'll fire him since he's Patrick's useful idiot. This guy does not want to win, does not want to build something, it's a pure money-making business play and nothing else to him. That's obvious af.

Instead of fans leaving the team, run Dumont out of town and never let up until he sells. He is the next Donald Sterling, it's obvious. But even Sterling wasn't this braindead.

Create PR hell for him and Nico. Start websites, more chants, louder chants, buy billboards, social media, youtube, boycott every part of the franchise, etc. This is a dynamic moment where you either fight for your team or you let it get hijacked by a categorical P.O.S. human who will f it up for 5, 10, 15 years. It's a predictable pattern when you have trash like Dumont owning the team.

One thing is for sure - as long as Patrick Dumont own the Mavericks, they will be a laughing stock franchise. Every employee, player, free agent, future draft pick, and fan already understands that after witnessing his moves, behavior, and his rhetoric. You may have glimmers of hope, but incompetence and corrupt leaders will eventually bring it back down. Don't expect anything at all to get better until he's ran out of town.

Sadly and in reality, fans cannot do poo poo.

Even more sadly, other than praying to god, there is 0 hope or chance this team will be back to normal or good state under the current management and ownership.

Leaving the team as a fan until the management and ownership are replaced by better and more competent people is really the only viable option. But be mindful that it will not happen in any time soon.

only thing a fan can do is stop watching and stop paying. i think the owners wouldnt mind that either. cuban knew who he was selling to. my advice is to just enjoy life and find other things to do.

The ownership has proven to me that they have no intentions on paying elite talent or winning. AD will be traded, Klay probably realizes he made a mistake, and this franchise is doomed. It was already difficult for this team to sign good players in free agency, stars ignored us, and now we're expected to sign talent? Not happening.

Financial boycot of the franchise....
I'm still subbed to all Mavs related media people and support them, but the franchise itself should NOT see a dime.

Both DLLS podcast and Mavs money ball are saying there is a drop on attendance and sharp drop in ticket prices for sale for the last games.
Nico didn't just trade Luka, je did much more
The coward gave a single interview in Cleveland and is hiding since then.
Threw the fans under the bus with the exaggerated death threat claims.
Provided a pipeline of vile stuff to ESPN, while not doing squat to help Luka last year when they were out for his blood.
Totally ignored Dirk in all of this, despite knowing his presence in the city.

We can't control what people will do, but people ahould hurt this ownership financially in all means available for them, vote against their casino plan, don't buy tickets and merchandise and ignore all of their ads.

Before he opens his mouth you think he is the link between the monkey and the man... after listening to him you are sure of it.

" A move for the future"??? Trade a 25yo in his prime for a 32yo called street clothes and day-to-Davis and a very little compensation (Christie is just a guy right now and the pick will be probably very low).. wow.

Yeah it's quite incredible how they're trying to justify the trade with all the wrong arguments lol. Just simply say "Hey, i didn't want to pay the guy"... and people would probably have much more respect for telling the truth.
Trying to erase past 6 years, constant articles trying to portray him as a bad person, some dumbass culture talk and building the future with a bunch of end of career guys, is quite insane to put it mildly.

It's from Feb 13th, around the time he gave that interview to Brad Tounsend from DMN, I hope that by now someone from his close reached out to him and explained him how moronic he sounds...

I like this interview. That's how a naturally dumb person should sound like a ret@rd in front of the camera.

I laugh at people/fans who still propose ideas about maybe some free agent will join us in the near future just because we have a foundation in AD and Kyrie.

1. The real foundation is the owner, who has been exposed as a bad apple.
2. Whoever is eating the bad apple will leave.
3. Whoever is outside won't want any of this.

Ask yourself this, if a xyz company is known to be toxic, will you apply for jobs there?

I mean you must be in 200% financial crisis before you be like "I want the money even if I know I will be in a toxic environment".

Most nba players, let alone the stars, do not have such financial crisis.

"We got to the Championship games"

Uh... you mean The Finals? Fn r*tard

"What can we do to improve our team"
"Create a roster for the future"

Trade a 25 year old mega star for an injured 32 year old. Yeah that's totally a future move that improves the team. Keeping or trading Doncic wasn't a "tough decision" (cool gaslighting), keeping him was the biggest no-brainer decision of the 21st century that any r*tard could make except apparently the guy who owns the team and his GM. You literally had one job, or minimum job - don't trade Luka. This is comparable to trading Steph Curry, Kobe, LeBron, Jokic, etc. in their prime. Luka's that good and will be top 10 all time when it's all said and done. This isn't trading an all-star, this is trading someone who'll likely get 2,3,4 MVP's, etc. You guys already know this so I'm not saying anything new.

This is how you know this owner will go nowhere, ever. He's doubling down on his lunacy like it has some kind of rational basis. People / owners like that will never get it because he's so far up his own azz that he can't see what he is. Literally every thing they've done and said since the trade is the complete opposite of competence (which of course makes total sense). Generational stupidity we're witnessing.

My advice is if you don't follow XYZ company, then XYZ company's woes is not our problem. Let others worry about it. If they dont come then they dont come. It becomes Nico's fault that way. Which oaves the way for his eventual resignation.

Sadly, they're just dead to me now. Do not exist. Pick a new team, or learn to like Hockey.

Crazy thing is - how fast all happened. We went from wining the West and being in the finals, with a behind a mega-star hitting his prime and some interesting young pieces.. I mean remember how fun watching everyone step up through that gauntlet to finals last year? To a broken down club on the wrong side of 30 and limited assets to build with. And it all happened in less than 1 year.

I don't think anyone else could have have completely destroyed a franchise in less than a season this badly. Oh, and then jacking ticket prices while doing it. Well done, Nico.

The franchise isn’t dead. The Luka fans are gone now. Eventually there will be new owners and new GM and the team will eventually find another star. Rinse, wash, repeat.

The franchise didn’t die when they traded Mark Aguirre, or when they traded a 23 year old Jason Kidd, or when they let Steve Nash walk, or when they let Brunson walk. The franchise will be ok eventually.

The fanbase from 16 to 30yo were at 70-80% Luka fans, he was the face of the franchise, it's how NBA works in these days... We lost at least 1 generation of fans. It's a completely disaster.
All Dallas Mavericks forums are dead.
The AAC is full of casuals.
We are a joke, you can hear "Fire Nico" chants in every sport buildings.
Internet is full of memes about our franchise.

I know that fans like you and me (who are 40+ yo) will pass over that stupid trade soon or later but it's just a limited vision of the situation.
Watch over your nose sometimes.

And compare Luka Doncic to those (very good) players is simply bad and if you can't understand the difference (basket and extra basket ) it's a big problem. Ouch.
This trade will be remembered forever in sport history, it's like Babe Ruth.

We played the Finals 7 months ago, now we are 10th in the west with something like 4-20 stretch of games and a roster leaded by 2 old injury prone proven Robins and a bunch of good players.

This franchise is dead right now.

Probably only fire Harrison (who has not all the guilty obviously) can help to fix this rift between fans and ownership.

Return to Dallas Mavericks
