What is YOUR consequence after Luka leaving?

I say to myself that I'm not sure what I'll do.  The reality is I'll probably still watch the Mavs.  It's hard to quit doing something I've bee doing since the early eighties...day one.  I don't think Luka had anything to do with this trade.  If I find later that he did I'll be even more upset.  Till then I'll probably watch Luka play.  Problem is...he's now a Laker.  Hard to stomach...

I'm still in shock.  I feel like I've lost my dog...

There is an emotional element to this for many of us that is difficult to quantify, and we should all try to be sensitive about this. 

For whatever reason, I can kind of already tell that I'll get over losing Luka faster than I got over losing Brunson (still not over that, tbh). 

What I can't get over is the sinking feeling that by the end of next year it will be clear that this team isn't going anywhere, and THEN WHAT? We all meet back here in 2032?
