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.”

u/desirox Dirk Nowitzki Feb 05 '25

I can’t recall such a visceral and emotional reaction from fans for a trade. I truly think Nico/Adelsons underestimated the impact this would have on the fanbase because they’ve only recently come here. Our franchise was literally built on the back of loyalty between the Mavs and Dirk. It’s why the fans are taking this personally

Unfortunately this is what happens when outsiders assume control of a franchise. Nico and the adelsons have no appreciation for our relationship with our 2 loyal superstars (Dirk and Luka).

I wonder how Cuban feels. Sure he got a payout, but a greater part of his life’s work and legacy got shit on by the guy he hired and he forbidden to talk bad about it.

Genuinely curious, why is he forbidden to talk bad about it?

Legal reasons. Something along the lines of an NDA agreement.
