On another note, Stars are killing it, top team in the NHL since Christmas and we are even down 2 great players.

Some big rumors flying around right now. Lebron wants to own a team and apparently wants Vegas. Mavs trade Luca to give LA longterm success, Mavs start to go down and the owner of the Mavs made his money in Vegas, Mavs move to Vegas.

And they just picked up some more talent to give them a chance at the SC this year.

I’ve heard the same thing. New owners not concerned with wins and losses. Didn’t want Supermax contract expense. They plan to force a vote to legalize gambling in DFW to build a casino. If Texas doesn’t play ball they move team to Vegas. It’s a dollars and cents move since local sports network money has dried up.

On the flip side…. If Dallas losses the Mavericks the OKC Thunder would be idiots not to move two hours south to AAC.

Let’s see how well this post ages. Will make a note to revisit in a couple years.

There was an article about Jerry Jones looking to buy the Stars. Do you think JJ could make the Stars a championship team?

Initial impressions....very good...also good to have Marchment back. Hope Borque isn't hurt too bad.

The man hasn't played since Dec 22nd behind closed doors somebody pissed someone off to make this trade happen.
Maybe they will let the cat out of the bag soon.

Maybe at the NHL level. Their mismanagement of community-level hockey is damn near criminal and has really turned me away from supporting the pro club.

Probably can't post pic's here but folks are covering Dirk's statue base with profane graffiti aimed at Nico Harrison. And one fan paid for a full blown funeral procession at AAC with a Mavs casket and pall bearers. roflmao

Mavs got fleeced. Typical DFW sports disaster. Reports leaking out now the experienced Laker GM pulled a fast one on the new guy.

Luka is the most skilled player in the NBA. Not the most gifted athletically which makes the things he does on the court even more remarkable. He doesn’t do the things he does without an incredible work ethic because he has to get it done with skill. What the Maverick’s got in return does not approach Luka’s trade value. The lakers will very likely win a championship with Luka and Lebron.

I own 4 season tickets. My brothers own 8 season tickets. They are all going back. Nobody is answering the phones so we are sending emails. Nico has 4 armed guards in front of his house right now. A trade that eliminates all season ticket holders and requires armed guards, should not have been approved by the league. And I don't think destroying the fan base of the 5th largest media market will help the struggling ratings. This a nightmare I can't wake up from.

Man, he sure looked distressed during the Lakers presser. The look of a man that feels betrayed.

Luka is a 25 year old kid, unbelievable gifted player, he is not always hurt, he played 100 games last year, 40 minutes a game with 2 defenders guarding him most of the time. He almost averages a triple double. Stupid trade that will go down as the worst trade ever! Luka will win multiple MVP's with the lakers. As a Dallas fan, watch Luka stare down the best defender in the league, tell that defender he sucks and make a bucket, then look at Dak fold under pressure of a big game...The heart of a winner!

I came out early against Luka on the trade, but now more info has come out I agree with you both. Luka and the fans were betrayed by this stab in the back. Hopefully more will come out for the reason behind this.

I saw the LA presser with Luka, he did NOT look out of shape to me. I hope fans go to the Lakers game and give Luka an EXTENDED standing O. Then all walk out and never go back.

Move it all to Las Vegas

Dallas will start over.

no need to include Dak in this mess though. Jere's comeuppance is coming.
