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

[41Dirk41]

This.

Hurt them on the wallet is nearly impossible (because the BRI) but let the AAC empty and embarass them in front of the entire world.

Karma will take care of them all. Trust me.

I so wish the local fans would abandon the team until the owners leave. When is enough enough!?

I wanted to quit as well but I can't. I think I have stockholm syndrome. Mavs are my team. They can do whatever they want to me and I just can't quit. This us unhealthy.

We don't have to quit.
We can follow Mavs, we have to follow Mavs.

But don't go to the AAC. Protest. Put some billboards.
Don't buy jersey or merchandising. Only this.

I expect Cuban and Dirk go out of the organization as well. we need support.

Out present and our future are screwed but i don't want those guys run the franchise. It's enough.

i wouldn't be surprised if dirk retires from his duties too. he's the most loyal player of all time and he's probably so infinitely annoyed. he and luka got along very well.
However, Dirk is loyal to the Mavs. Let's see what prevails.

I get it and I can't tell you what to do because it's your own relationship with the Mavericks. I also couldn't look away and couldn't help cheering for the guys these last few games. I still like everyone on that team. I just encourage everyone to not buy tickets or merch and maintain a hostile energy towards the people that have spat in all of our faces and destroyed the soul of this franchise.

I'm just going to point out a couple of things:

1. I do agree with him about Luka setting bad examples (conditioning, complaining, lack of defensive effort, lack of leadership)
2. Do I believe that's why he traded him? No. I think it had more to do with money.
3. According to AD he hasn't spoken with the owners as of the end of his first home game - not sure why that is or what that says about your culture? Not even a call?

I will add this final point - when your due 70 million dollars a year (probably the most any NBA player has ever made) you better not give management any reason not to want to pay you. I think Luka (whether his stans believe it or not) gave mgmt plently of reasons not to pay him. Say what you want about Shaq's worth ethic, he was the most dominant force the NBA has ever seen, and if im being honest, his conditioning looked better than Luka's in his prime.

Shaq&LeBron called out that clown... Hide your face, disappear from the world.

You tried to be the smartest but you ended up like the dumbest.

This is what happens when you have an owner who knows nothing about sports own a team. And I thought it couldnt have gotten worse. And it just did. The better person always takes the high road the owner didnt.

[dirkules_41]

What a moron, this is what happens when you sell the majority of your franchise to a fat casino executive who knows nothing about sports and let an apparel executive run the sporting decisions.

**** off back to Nevada, Dumont!

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 blamed at this point.

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

The Dallas FO is putrid, from Kidd, all the way up to the new owners. Birds of a feather flock together; they are conniving, dishonest swindlers that ruined a once great team.

The only thing I won't do is defend Luka like he's a victim. The guy is right here with EMbiid and Zion as the worst leaders in the league. People may say Kawhi, but that guy has rings, so he gets a little more slack. I have no desire to ever watch the Mavs or Lakers again; they both can flop if I have my wish. 31 years of fandom down the drain, the FO doesnt care about any of their fan base.

Embiid and Zion?

Embiid never came out of second round. And Zion didn't even play a single game in the playoffs. Sometimes I'm wondering, if Mavs FO didn't think fans will say anything about the trade, because they read staff on Realgm Mavs board.

That Luka is in the same league as Embiid and Zion as a leader thats far from the truth and thats a lie. Luka doesnt lead by yelling and screaming at his teammates he leads by his play on the court is he perfect? no by any means but he wins games plain and simple. 56.9 winning percentage in the NBA.

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

AD. He should be well conditioned and a leader, if we traded Mavs fat leader for him.
