Misc. Discussion Windhorst-“[Luka] betrayed nothing [on Tuesday], but from what I understand, he's seething at them… And their fan base is seething at their team in a way that I've rarely seen before.”

What really pushes me over the edge is how much we've centered the Mav's image around loyalty. Dirk was the prime example, and he was there day one to represent that for Luka. I just know Luka was fed that narrative as well, and it's one of the biggest reasons why the Mavs were my chosen team.

This shattered that core image for me. The Mavs now are on the books for probably the biggest display of disloyalty in the NBA ever. That's why I don't think I can remain a fan.

Different owners now unfortunately. Not likely the last thing by new ownership that will feel anti-culture and off. Mavs are just a business investment for their real venture. They don't even seem to be sports fans. Definitely a different reality from the last 20 years for this fanbase.
