A JOKE of a franchise.
And it started when Mark Cuban thought he was the smartest guy in the room.
Cuban thought he was smarter than his basketball lifer GM and brought in Vegas Bob![]()

Pushed out basketball lifer GM who if it wasn't for Donnie Nelson the entire history of this franchise would be garbage and disappointment.
Donnie, who actually knew what he was doing, got Dirk here. Got Luka here. Donnie + Dirk made the Mavs great. Cuban rode Dirk's coattails and cheered until hubris, until in his hubris Mark thought he was smarter than everyone else.
After pushing out the son of an NBA player AND HC, basketball lifer, basketball junkie legit GM who with Dirk MADE the franchise he.... wait for it....

And after thinking about this some more it only gets worse...
Think about all that was built here under Donnie with the draft night acquisition to get Luka here (pure genius Donnie and LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL![]()

at the DUMB Atlanta Hawks
And then all that was built here, for years with the previous ownership. Think about this.... Mark Cuban is still part owner of the team. It's inconceivable that this move would be made when MARK IS STILL PART OWNER OF THE TEAM. Talk about your scheming, conniving, back stabbing, doing things in the dark behind people's back.
Mercenary teams almost always fail in the NBA. Heat with Lebron still had the home grown Wade. Celtics still had the home grown Pierce. Some of you cheering for a Nico mercenary team![]()

that's a franchise without a heart. That's a franchise without a soul. That is a FAILED franchise, who can't draft and develop a superstar.
In the meantime...
Once every 5 games Luka does something NO ONE IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA HAS DONE. Mavs, even if the team was decimated by injury still had this must see TV legendary superstar who, on any given night, does something NOONE or very few have EVER done in the HISTORY of the league.
I repeat... IN THE MEANTIME...
Once every 5 games or so Luka does something NO ONE IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA HAS DONE (or a select few)
The Dallas Mavericks. PUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CLOWN CAR. JOKE of a franchise.
Unfortunately Nico Harrison is not dumb, he built a Finals roster last year.
Luka trade is something else.
You and I are on the same side.
Saying Nico Harrison built a finals roster doesn't explain how the Mavs got there. It's not even true.
NIco was not part of the organization when the Mavs acquired Luka. Nico never would have made the draft night trade to acquire Luka. Nico wants people around him that make Nico comfortable. Luka doesn't fit Nico's vision for NIco's culture. Luka doesn't fit his vision for how he wants a team constructed.
Derrick LIvely was not part of NIco's plan. Mavs were so bad after breaking up a WCF team they ended up in the lottery. It was a disaster the first season after the Kyrie trade.
NIco Harrison/Patrick Dumont had a combined total of 3 and a half years experience in the NBA at the time of the trade. They are both full of hubris. They are both tone deaf. They both lack experience.
For those who want to claim tin foil hat, the burden of proof is on you.
I've listened to the entire video explaining the idea of the Adelson's wanting to destroy the franchise with the end result being more business in Texas (gambling). That theory is dumber even than the Luka trade.
The only tin foil hat theory with any plausibility is the idea the league ordered this. There are plenty of problems with that theory too though.
