This is self serving and not really important for anyone else, but I have made the decision to step away. I am sure I will continue to lurk here. Maybe I will post eventually, maybe I won't. Maybe I will watch some games, maybe I won't. Waking up to this bombshell on Sunday morning rocked me to the core. So, right now the Mavs don't deserve my attention.
The only way this works for Nico is if they win a championship. I don't think they are close now. I think at least 10 teams have a better chance. In the next few years, more teams will pass them. Nico said flat out his view of the future is 3-4 years. When reality sets in that they don't have a championship team, I shake thinking what type of panic trades they make to just have a chance.
At the end of the day though, right now I feel even if Nico found the right mix and they are a top 5 contender, I don't think I will care. I have nothing built up with them. I felt no pain. Didn't watch the growth. Didn't see them climb mountains. They are hired guns. I know that doesn't often work in the NBA, and it is not something I want to invest in regardless.
Maybe I will come back, maybe not. If not, I wanted to thank everyone for your common fandom and your time. I believed in my opinions, even if I was wrong quite a bit. I liked reading the banter of different thinking, even if I may not have engaged in it. It was a fun place to throw crazy thoughts out and spend hours talking about things my "real life" friends/family had no idea what I was talking about. It was fun. I am bummed. I am rocked. Best of luck everyone. Maybe I will be back!
