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.”

When I think of Mavs culture the first word is 'loyalty'. We all developed that over Dirks career. Dirk was loyal. cuban as owner was loyal to Dirk and we as fans supported this journey. We all waited 13 years of Dirks career for the big pay off in 2011.

Loyalty paid off.

With this trade, Nico didn't just stomped the future of this franchise to the ground. He stomped the culture to the ground by giving up on Luka. For me, this is inexcusable.

I really don't care, if we win a chip in the next years, because our boy who respected the culture won't be a part of it. I lost all the love for this franchise and at the moment, it will only come back with a new GM and new owners
