Not mentioning Dirk is a masterclass in cluelessness
Mavs owner Patrick Dumont:
βIf you look at the greats in the league, the people you and I grew up with β Jordan, Bird, Kobe, Shaq β they worked really hard, everyday with a singular focus to win. And if you donβt have that, it doesnβt workβ¦ You shouldnβt be apart of the Dallas Mavericks.β

The Mavericks gave Dirk the runway to learn and make mistakes and grow. Why was Luka, a 25-year old, not afforded that same opportunity?

Maybe I am wrong and maybe Dirk's tweet is innocuous, but Dirk could easily show up and support Luka without making it known on social. He knows what he's doing and he's making it clear where he stands not only on the trade but the general direction of the Mavs org. #TeamDirk

Luka was a face of the NBA and he was a Maverick. We took pride in that. It made you feel good. He was our guy. He wasn't just some asset. So you can debate the Xs and Os of the trade but its irrelevant. He meant more than any of that and he was taken from the community.

The Rangers have won their first World Series in their 52nd year since moving to Texas.
The Astros won their first World Series in their 55th year.
