“People Like That Deserve to Say Goodbye”: Donnie Nelson Breaks Silence on Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Dončić Trade

  1. Ok Donnie I get it but you said you valued the community and the players impact in it. Harrison Barnes was incredibly active in the community and helped out A LOT everywhere his entire time in Dallas. And Donnie over here traded him mid game lol. So please get off your high horse.

  2. Yes, we know. Convince him to come back to the Mavs, and you get your job back.

  3. Donnie and Cuban did worst than that. They look a top 4 player in the league coming off a Championship, willingly blew up the team, begged him to take less and less money and the proceed to waste the rest of his career to the point where we never even won another playoff series with him.

  4. well, no matter what happens or how the Mavericks got lucky in the lottery, the Luka trade is still the worst trade in the history of professional sports. What is the over under on how many games A.D. plays this year?

  5. Nothing he said is incorrect. Nico is talented but operates like an autistic fuck. It’s only about winning for him. It’s a style for sure but it’s not the Mavs identity historically. It’s more than just about winning for us. It’s about winning OUR guys. That shit flies in NY or LA but that’s not our identity. 

  6. “Of course, this is the NBA, and trades can happen; players come and go,” Nelson said. “But with all due respect, you have to understand that some players are different, special, and even more important to the environment and the community. It’s important to treat those players with respect.”

    This is it in a nutshell. they did the trade, bad mouthed a generational talent that we as a community watched and supported since he was 18 freaking years old and when we voiced our displeasure as the literal patronage of the team and the community that has been here long before they gave a shit about the NBA or Dallas, they told us basically to shut the fuck up and that it was THEIR team to do with whatever they please and we’ll keep coming back anyway because they know better than we do.

    I’m intrigued by Flagg, I want to see all of the guys on the team achieve success but for the first time in over 20yrs, the Mavs organization will not receive a cent from me for a very long time.
