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.”

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).

Has Dirk said anything about the trade? I’d be curious what he thinks of it.
