MAVS NEWS:

I just don't care anymore. I'm kind of glad Luka is gone. Barking at the refs, not running back on defense, hogging the ball, constantly entitled. It had worn more thin on me than I even realized prior to the trade. 

I'm also sick of litigating the trade, or the general performance of the front office. I do not care right now. I just want THIS team to be good, and I'm enjoying the hope of that. 

I look forward to the day when everything we talk about doesn't have to pass through a filter of "yeah, but I'm not sure the front office has been punished enough" or "yeah, but it's really important that we point out that all of these good things are happening despite the horrible GM. We can't allow anyone to think he has ever done anything right, because dammit, I'm still mad." I realize that's an exaggeration of the mindset you're applying, but it's intentional hyperbole for effect. There actually is an edge like that on every single comment written here these days, just not as overt as that characterization, and it's draining the life out of me. At this point, I'm almost rooting for Luka to fail, just so I can stop hearing about it. He's a Laker now, so I DON'T CARE. F the Lakers.

I don't care about Luka as a Laker.  I want this Mavericks team to succeed.  I want Nico fired.  All of this is true for me.
