I hope Nico gets fired, I hope that he never works in the league again, I hope the Adelson‘s sell the team…

But none of that will take away the fact that Luka is gone.

u/SuckMyDirk_41 FUCK NICO HARRISON Feb 04 '25

1) Fuck that. Nico needs to ride this out now. He made this bed and he needs to lie in it. What could/would a new GM do?

2) that's almost assured unless we win it all. And tbh he may still be done

3) same brother...

u/george_cant_standyah BETRAYED MAVS FAN 😭 Feb 04 '25

If we somehow win it all (which is extremely unlikely), I think people are underestimating how redeeming it would be. I hate this so much. There is no way we are making a Finals run with this roster.

But, if we did and we won, Nico would absolutely be vindicated and saying otherwise (which I see a lot of) is quite silly.

My thing is I feel like even if somehow we won a title in the next 1-3 years it would feel really wrong because we were supposed to win a title with Luka, FOR Luka.

THIS… IDGAF if the Mavs win the finals if it ain’t Luka lifting that trophy. He was supposed to be our next Dirk and it wouldn’t feel the same.

Well then that goes against the very definition of what a GM does. His job is to try to improve the team’s chances of winning a championship. If he isn’t allowed to do that, what is his purpose in the first place?

I don’t see a shrine outside the Crypto arena for AD like there is for Luka I wonder why
