Right after that stupid trade Kyrie got injured. You could argue if Luka stays , Kyrie doesnāt try to carry as much as the load , and the mavs repeat a finals appearance. This is actually the worst trade in modern history

Ima school you lil kids child minded people. The NBA IS RIGGED. If you never noticed the nba pays teams back for things they take in the past. Chris Paul to the lakers didnāt happen. NBA finally paid their debt back to the lakers. Happens to every team. Tell me Iām lying?

He got used. Ownership wanted Luka in LA because they get way more $ from shared revenue. If Chicago is good this year Nba gonna bank. If Iām Charlotte or Atlanta, a team that needs serious help, Iām bringing him in. He did just build a finals team

SAS is a racist. Says Luka canāt be the face of the NBA because heās foreign. Victor is also foreign but he can be the face because heās black.

As a Lakers fan, I still canāt believe or understand how this trade ever occurred. Itās a blessing for Lakers fans but an absolute CRIME that the idiots in power pushed Luca, a top 5 generational talent out the door for a broken down AD (no shade, just facts).

its crazy that only 1 incompetent employee can bring your billion dollar organization down šš dont they have a rule that at least trading your best player upto 3rd best players should at least needs an approval from a coaching staff?

Thatās an insult to AD who has been traded directly with Luka + Cooper Flagg as the trade give Dallas a pick for the lottery that draft Cooper.

Thanks to harrison. Lebron can have load management and take unlimited vacations to cancun with his family and not worry about losing. š

Whether they intended for Nico to act as a scapegoat or not, this was a move that had to be done.
Dallas fans are rightfully pissed and short of getting Luka back somehow (or AD + Kyrie + Flagg somehow winning a ring this year), thereās literally nothing they can do to fix the situation. They actually ran their whole business to the ground. Firing Nico was basically a necessary first step if they ever wanted to regain some sort of positive sentiment.

Load of BS. The NBA is absolutely RIGGED!
The NBA wanted the Lakers to have a star to replace Bron, so they made sure the Lakers got Luka, and in return, they gave the Mavs the No.1 pick.
RIGGED!!!!!!

I would have only traded Doncic for Victor Wemby, Nobody else. Not Giannis, Not Jokic, Not Shai, Only the 21 year old Phenom.

Dallas needs to blow up their roster and trade everyone except Cooper Flagg & Derick Lively. Get younger for the rest of this season and next season. Trade Anthony Davis , Kyrie Irving , Klay Thompson for younger All-Stars and draft picks. Mavs need to start over fresh , have a new roster that had nothing to do with what Nico Harrison built. Thatās the only way Mavās fans will start to forgive Team Ownership for trading away Luka Doncic last season.
