We need some optimists around here, it can't be an all-grumpy pitchfork-crowd with too many negative nancies like myself and others (Mavs2012). There's a decent chance your outlook becomes reality BUT - as disappointing as it might be - we've been through shittier times with the Mavs over the last decade. Luka is still around and as long as he is the team will be in the playoff mix and fun to watch. Maybe he's even as loyal as Dirk and just takes the good with the bad when it comes to the organization. We'll see, nothing is fundamentally lost at this point, heck they might even be able to bring Cuban to light and just pay up to keep Brunson.
Well, it bums me out to think that I'm somehow diminishing your enjoyment of the forum. I'm very sorry, that's not my intention.
But, I'd hardly call myself one of the "good" guys. I take your meaning on that to be that I'm usually positive, which far from always being the case. When they do things I like, I say so, and when they don't, I say so. At least that's how it seems to me - I suppose I might not be totally self aware.
Anyway, a few days ago I thought they had added Christian Wood to a roster built around Luka and Brunson, and I'm sorry, but it's just going to take me a week or so to wrap my head around this. I suspect that another wave of people feeling negative about this will come once they realize all of the consequences that this mistake has coming to us.
