Dirk should sign a 1 day contract with the Lakers and go take Markieffs spot on the bench. Maybe get 1 minute in garbage time. He can say ‘sometimes i’m gonna make decisions the mavs aren’t going to like’
This shit just gets worse and worse and you know that is only going to continue
Sounds like they cut Dirk out of the building. Completely understand he doesn’t want those same people using him as a nostalgia prop to win fans back over. These people have driven the franchise off a cliff in an insanely short amount of time and deserve zero goodwill through nostalgia.
Never thought I’d see the day where I’m actually siding with Macmahon
👀
I keep thinking“no way it can get worse”, and it *always* does.
How far will we sink?
Next he’s going to try and have Dirks statue removed. Get this guy tf out of Dallas.
I sincerely hope those of you who have had season tickets walk with your feet next season. Embarrassing to think anyone would renew with this shitty franchise.
We need fan ownership of the mavs like the packers in Green Bay…
Bro, wtf happened to the team I loved
Absolutely heartbreaking. Nico can never take Dirk and what he did for The Mavs away at least. Growing up with Dirk and The Mavs I truly cannot believe this is where we are.
The only guy to bring us a championship and this is how they treat him.
Interesting. So that’s the famous Mavs culture then. Terrible human beings are leading this franchise, Harrison, Kidd, Adelson/Dumont. They give a shit on anything that happened before. Everyone Luka liked, they fired … this should have been already a big red flag. Cuban is to blame here too. You make sure, you trade to people who care.
Making the worst trade in sports history is one thing but bad talking Dirk?! That’s a new low. Get this bastard out of Dallas
“Probably Thursday morning.”
Love that dig
Tim legitimately seems pissed off. I miss the days of him and Luka beefing and Cuban running his mouth with the big German handing out high fives.
The Mavs died feb 1st 2025. This is the Dallas Nicos.
We had everything, we had a new fave of the franchise (Luka) and we competed at the top level of the NBA and were forecasted to for a while. Now, it seems like all of that positivity is gone, the team is awful, there is no hope for the future. It also feels like Dallas might not even have a team in a few years of the Adelsons have their way.
Cuban, for better or for worse, really was holding this franchise together.
The Mavs are tarnished for several generations, especially with the youth that loved Luka, and with the players who all felt that betrayal first hand. Dumont + Miriam ‘Great Value Rosann Barr’ Adelson denied Luka a full max deal and cost him >$100M. They probably see that as savings but it’ll cost them more than that in the long run.
So yall are acting like yall like Tim McMahon now?
Just getting ready for their move to Vegas, no need to preserve any of the history or legacy of the franchise. Easier to cut ties and leave asap.
If anyone still wants to support this franchise, I respect your decision but I cannot in good faith root for this team.
It’s always stupid getting rid of your legacy star and their input, they’ve been around longer than any of the management. Hell Modano is the only reason the stars kept green as their team color, they would have gone blue and red and completely lost their identity without his input
Can you imagine someone rolling into Golden State as a GM and talking trash about Steph?
Dirk is the most beloved sports figure in the history of the DFW metroplex. This is absurd that this person is real.
Honestly – trade Luka. Be idiots. Be assholes. Think it makes the team better. I hate it and think it’s terrible and it’s changed me, but I can’t argue that it’s a vision – of a severely flawed and terrible one.
But the handling of Dirk is just classless. And the relationship between dirk, this franchise and this city and its fans is above anything on the court. It’s about class. And this franchise has just shipped out any last ounce of class it still had.
Tim not pulling his punches lately. Tells us everything we need to know. Sell the team!
If trading Luka somehow wasn’t the death blow to this franchise’s identity and culture then this certainly is it.
Is Michael Finley gonna say anything? Or do we think he’s standing with Nico on this?
It just keeps getting worse
Can’t blame him , the franchise is a dumpster fire run by clowns
This is where I get upset at Cuban selling – or who he sold to. Because this was Dirk’s retire and the franchises right, to be around. Otherwise what we’re all those hometown discounts for. I’d be livid if I were Dirk.
A lot of me wants to believe that this is just a roundabout way of saying that the Luka trade and slander are what turned him off. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if they dragged Dirk for no reason, because these morons can’t go a day without causing controversy.
And this is why the “get over it” “fans” out there can suck my dick. I’ll be back when Dirk is back.
Fire Nico.
