Reminder that the Mavericks will never have a player as good as Luka ever again. And it's gonna blow over. Amazing.


Mavs fans who are letting this go are weak.

:o LeBron is 0-7 in game winning/tying FGs in the finals. And is 20/116 or 17% in game winning/tying FGs in the 4th/OT for his career. That's historically bad :o

So, the owner opened his mouth again with a new article slandering Luka nonstop calling him as expected lazy while Luka continued to take the high road.

I'm just reading the comments from the Mavs owner. I honestly thought you were joking at first. It's like the trade, i thought it was AI generated.

This was Luka during the playoffs and Finals. How detached from reality can a person be? And he even put Shaq as an example of a dedicated person to stay in shape? Wtf....

The more the I read the more I realize the Mavs organization didn't deserve Luka.

I am a die hard Mavs fan but how they behave now makes me sick. You can think of Mark Cuban what ever you want and we screamed about him a lot but his would never had happened under him

Arch- come on bro - bloody knees lol

Basketball injuries rarely result in blood -

Either way - Luka was hurt like hell against OKC and healthy as hell for the rest of the playoffs apparently

Btw - Mavs owner proved it WAS NOT Nico’s choice by opening his mouth and saying he wants hard workers…

Then the owner used Kobe and MJ to speak of hard workers that win… but then he messed up and proved he never watched or cared about basketball by saying hard workers like SHAQ - which essentially invalidates his whole argument about hard workers when championships-

Fact of the matter is championship Shaq was more like Luka than he was like MJ or Kobe- Shaq was talent that did what it took on the court to win games- just like Luka- while mj and Kobe took the more googins route and won the battle off the court and then played the game…

Unfortunately for the owner of the Mavs - Luka has Shaq like otherworldly talent that allows him to level up past mere mortals while not actually needing to look like a body builder - Man when will leaders learn that just because someone does something differently than you would like doesn’t mean their process isn’t valid - unfortunately Luka gonna come back and make the Mavs pay because this dude wanted Luka to have 8% body fat -

Yeah but you think mark didn’t know this would happen?

Mark sold high and got his money and left the Mavs fans without Luka-

For fans to trust Basketball teams, the owners should look at thier role as a “public trust”…. If they look at as a business, they sell out like mark did. It’s not like mark NEEDed the money . If so, why?

It's how NBA works.

Luckily we live in the internet era and everybody can see the reality if they want.

They can control what happens inside the AAC but not what happens outside... The riots are real, the billboards are real, the Nico hate is **** real.

Don't give up guys, our voice is important.


Don't give up? You mean getting Nico ousted?
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

What pissed me off most this asshat’s comments was how he said he can understand how upset we were about the Finals loss cuz it hurt him so bad as well. And that it hurts him as much as us trading Luka. He’s been around for a year and some of us have been fans for over 40 years. Zero self-awareness. When Jerry came in and fired Tom Landry, yeah, it was a big deal. But everyone knew Landry was WAY past his prime so we knew it had to happen.
When someone says, "to make a long story short", it's usually too late.

Where did you read that? He injured his knee vs LAC already and it bothered him through the rest of the playoffs. He was literally limping up and down the floor in the finals. Had to take pain injections to fight knee, back and hip problems. You can look it up if you don't believe me.

The comments from the husband of the billionaire's daughter have just made me even more pissed off. I'm a Luka Doncic supporter this season. Screw that team they don't deserve a single fan to walk into the building. Sell the F'n team for God's sake.

Luka authentic Mavs jerseys on sale. That'll be a throwback classic in 20 years.

What's funny is, after the trade, I thought: "Were the Mavs bought by the owner from the Major League Movie?"

Turns out, they were.

I’m just laughing at how bad those pics look- it was like the bloody sock…

Honestly no matter what - you don’t trade Luka lol

I just hope the Lakers are gonna let Luka be Luka.
If there's talk about him playing more off the ball, having to change his game etc then that's just sad.
I don't want to see a lesser version of Luka.
LeBron has to give him the keys to the team like Wade did for him in Miami.

If Luka does something different and wins that’s more important than racking up stats -
