Game 1 of the Pacers–Thunder NBA Finals averaged a 4.7 rating and 8.91 million viewers on ABC, making it the lowest-rated and least-watched Finals opener since Nielsen tracking began in 1988—excluding the COVID-impacted 2020 and 2021 series, per @paulsen_smw pic.twitter.com/PzHwJOGy9F

my wife used to criticize how I lost all our money on a a series of really bad financial decisions, but after we won the lottery last month, she started seeing the vision and started sleeping in our bedroom again (maybe first base is back on the table by Christmas)

“Fire Nico!” chants are going strong with Mavs down double digits at home in the final minute against the Wizards.

There are 29 other teams that would have offered more than the Lakers, if they had it to offer. One thing you can teach is if you have a rare asset and decide to sell it you auction it off and sell it to the highest bidder. You don't negotiate a private sale.
The Mavericks have never, ever been a great defensive team.
These are only two seasons that they've ever finished the year as a top 10 team in defensive Net rating.
#5 in 2006-07 they went 67-15
#7 in 2010-11 they went 57-25 and won the NBA title.
The Mavericks have never in their franchise history ever had an Hakeem Olajuwon, Dwight Howard, Tim Duncan type of two big man that can also anchor an elite defense.
The Mavs were regularly top 3 (and many seasons #1) in the NBA in offensive Net rating under Dirk, Nash and Luka.
The Spurs (under Tim Duncan) were almost always top 5 in defense.
Which franchise has more titles and NBA Finals appearances?
The Mavs traded their worst defensive player for the best defensive big in the NBA.
The Mavs would have only done this trade for AD or Giannis. Milwaukee probably doesn't do it because the chances of Luka staying in Wisconsin past this initial 1.5 years is low.
The Lakers feel like they have the best chance of keeping Luka long term...but there is also no guarantee he stays in LA.
Do you think the Mavericks got a fair trade?
This has never happened. Two 1st team All-NBA players have never been traded for each other.
All the Luka stans keep acting like the Mavs got nothing back in return....what they got was a Defensive player of the year nominee that can do 3 things.....two of which Luka can't do at all:
1. Anchor an elite defense
2. block about 2-3 shots per game
3. score about 22-25 PPG
Max Christie will be the replacement for Dorian Finney Smith. Excellent defensive player and very smart.
The Mavs are trying to make themselves much more athletic and stronger defensively.
20 years ago the Mavs let Steve Nash walk. People always make it out to be a mistake for the Mavs because of the success that Nash would go onto have in Phoenix.
The Mavs had their best 3 year stretch in franchise history in the three years after Nash's departure going 58-24, 60-22 and 67-15.
Jason Terry was almost as good offensively as Nash and about 85% as clutch. Devin Harris was 10x the perimeter defender that Nash was. The Mavs replaced Nash's output with more athleticism and defense.
I think the same scenario will play out with Luka and the Mavs.

We bet everything on getting that NBA championship by last year. And we didn't... and now we are going to pay for it.
This is easily the most critical I’ve ever heard Dirk be on the Mavs. Even when the Mavs missed the playoffs it didn’t sound like this https://t.co/Z4GPFdeymr

-Potential to win back alienated fans

I know I won't. I haven't watched a Mavericks game since, and I have no desire whatsoever to support that franchise at the moment.
It sucks because I've been a fan since I was a kid, but I don't see myself ever returning as long as this ownership group is in control.
