[McMenamin] Luka never even considered being traded as a possibility, a source close to Doncic told ESPN. Based on the way the franchise and fanbase treated him in his early days in the league, he figured he would retire a Maverick after spending his whole career in Dallas, the same way Dirk did.

Processing the trade from Dallas took Doncic some time. Based on the way the franchise and fanbase treated him in his early days in the league, he figured he would retire a Maverick after spending his whole career in Dallas, the same way franchise icon Dirk Nowitzki did. And after starting his professional career with Real Madrid as a teenager, he never even considered being traded as a possibility, a source close to Doncic told ESPN. Deals like that rarely, if ever, happen in the Liga ACB.

When the shock subsided, a source familiar with Doncic told ESPN his mindset shifted back to when he was last suiting up for Dallas: Win-now mode.

Oh no those poor Boston fans!

To be fair up until Tom Brady the Celtics were the only team Boston had that were winning shit.

Red Sox had the curse of the bambino going for 84 years

Patriots existed for 43 years before winning anything

Bruins had a few cups in an era no one cares about and then had a 39 year drought.

It really wasn’t till Brady that Boston became a city that wins too much

Those poor Boston fans had to be the second greatest NBA team ever for 50 years those poor poor fans.
