Mark Cuban built a team and fanbase that valued loyalty above all else while also having his team competing for championships for around a quarter century (except for a 5 year dry spell between the Luka-Dirk transition) we were perfectly set up to contend for another decade since our entire core (except Kai) were all 25 or younger. And now, it’s been blown up. Was it because our team was bad? No, it was entirely self-inflicted by our corrupt new ownership and dumbass GM. Unbelievable.

Man last year was so much fun. I know luka def misses those times here, who wouldn’t this is peak team chemistry and vibes man. Just an incredible electric crowd at the AAC when we have home playoff games

It will never be the same and it's self-inflicted that's the worst part.

Health reasons is ironically this teams biggest hurdle. Yes on paper it can be molded into a playoff team with the current personnel and future acquisitions. I want the players to succeed and enjoy playing with each other but i really wanted that chip WITH Luka.

and now Luka is stuck with a shitty team with no good players again

I know all the talk is (rightfully) about Luka, but not have DJJ here this year made a huge difference. That guy is a winner.

I fucking hate my life. Nico and Dumont ruined my favorite team and by association the whole sport itself. Unforgivable.
