You all need to come down and think about if you are a mavericks fan or just a luka fan boy.
Im from germany so i know some things about going with your team from bottom to top. Im a life long Gladbach fan on the soccer part so google if you dont know ithe team on the german soccer league.
There are ups and down throughout fandom.
I was a lifelong fan of dirk sice i grew up with him conquering NA sports.
I was privileged as many of you to see the greatness of dirk for years and i have seen the whole championchip run from half around the world live just to be witness of the greatness.
I cried a lot when he achieved the ultimate goal.
BUT i was a mavs fan also and will stick with them till the end of time wheter there is a german player or not.
All those years of Dirk it was about the team and not about Dirk. So i will stick with his legacy. Its about Dallas and the team and not Luka or about Kyrie or anything.
Now is the time to button up! Dallas fan or Luka fan.
We all question whether Nico made the right decicion or not but only time will tell. Maybe Luka will be hurt half as the time as a Laker, maybe not. I believe in guys like Dereck Lively
a young man who has faced adversitiy early on in his life over Luka, who had had the advantage of beeing more talented than all of his peers for all his live all of the time.
Better be a hard working looser ,than the privileged winner. And´i guess Lively will win out after all since he builds a culture for years, just like Dirk did.
Welcome to the board Nico. While I appreciate your thoughtful insight, I'm going to have to strongly disagree. This wasn't a normal trade. This is equivalent to the Bulls trading MJ after losing to the Pistons over and over. He was our MJ. Had it been any other player on the team, I would absolutely agree with everything you said so nothing personal. Welcome to board.
