How long did it take us to get over them trading Kidd? Losing Nash? Breaking up the championship team? Losing Brunson? (and for those with longer fandom than me, losing Perkins and trading Aguirre for Done-tley?)
Add whatever that would be all together and at least double it. That should answer the question of how long it will take Mavs fans to really get over it. And it would require Nico being replaced during that time-span, and perhaps also the team getting sold again. That's long enough of a time that it will be irrespective of Luka's achievements or whether the AD Mavs win a championship. And the time frame will also be extended if Kyrie walks on them this summer, or if they dump any of PJ, Christie, or Lively to get KD.
