Those were not leveled at the organization generally, it was anti-trade and anti-Nico. Just like everybody not in the ownership group, he expected Nico to be gone before the season started. This was something that everybody knew had to happen and it can only be a relief for the entire organization that it's done.
That doesn't change the fact that this team isn't very good when their best two players are injured.
Agree, and if you think deeper about it, Nico was the main part of the organization. he traded Luka, he assembled this squad. he got AD. Etc. Etvc. So basically most about this roster is Nico. And just by firing him, doesnt mean that his vision is gone, as he has done quiet many moves and disrupted the organization. Like trading away your generational player that comes once in a century. So that Nowitzki is so critical and negative about it, tells everything I need to know, and I fully agree with him. If he is negative, so should I be.
