Rachel Nichols on the Herd
“I think they’ve done irreparable harm in their relationship with the fan base, and I think they’re only starting to discover that. This is a Dallas fanbase that thrives on loyalty…. They feel very betrayed.”

I will always be a Mav for life, but had to come support my guy 77 @luka7doncic in the first game of his new chapter!

In case you don’t understand why people are mad, a second opportunity of this was traded which goes beyond basketball.
Hard to comprehend how incompetent @NicoHarrisonGM is. Embarrassing.
The Mavericks had the option to void the Caleb Martin trade, sources tell @TheSteinLine, but believe Martin can recover in a matter of weeks and went ahead with the deal with Philadelphia agreed to put in the future second-round pick.

I think the thing that’s eating me up is this is the first time I’ve truly felt the absence of Dirk.
It was such a seamless transition where people my age had hope for the younger fans that they too could experience something similar and we could bond over the new journey.

"There has been belief, which multiple team and league sources expressed to me over the past months long before this trade, that Harrison does not have a long-term desire to remain in his current role as general manager."
Seems like a pertinent thing for an owner to know!
Nico Harrison's desire to trade Luka Dončić had been suspected by those familiar with his thinking months before it happened.

“A person close to the situation described this trade as the ultimate Harrison power trip, calling him a power-hungry man. Another observer said Harrison removed anyone who held a different view.”
