MAVS NEWS:

[HoosierDaddyKid]

"Fake optimism" is your opinion, and you're using it like a blunt pipe, beating all of our heads in, and you're doing it on purpose. 

The organization does deserve blame and criticism, but ruining this place doesn't punish them, it punishes US, and it will not make them "will go away." They're probably not going anywhere, and if they do get fired it will certainly have nothing to do with anything written here (I wish we had that type of power, but they're likely not even aware we're here following the team). 

Up to you whether you're a fan anymore - no hate if you decide you're not. But, we're not going to allow you to make this place a den of misery. It's probably hard to understand, but some of us enjoy debating this stuff, and some of us like reading each other's words, regardless of how the Mavs are going. 

Final warning before the bans start. I hope you can find a way not to be a blight on the community, because the more the merrier (if there's at least a little "merry" mixed in).

EDIT: and apologies to those with him on ignore, but I'm leaving his words in so that our actions, if/when they become necessary, are done with a modicum of transparency.

Very well put, KL. I'm thinking that this all will die down at some point. But some are so upset that they will never let it go. To be truthful, I'm tired of talking about it. What's done is done. I will try my best to avoid future conversations about Luka and the trade. That's why I frequently post in the Around the NBA thread or the Trade & FA thread.  I'm a fan of the Mavs and Pistons (I was born and raised in Detroit). I like to see what else is going on with other teams instead of constantly seeing people bitching and talking about Luka who didn't have a say in the matter at all.
