Lebron somehow turning a heist FOR HIS OWN TEAM into something to complain about is peak LeBron.

Yeah… this is pretty ridiculous.

on the court AD carried Lebum.

Yeah… this is pretty ridiculous.

Oh just wait. This is going to blowup NOT IF but WHEN he becomes the center of the offense. My prediction is Lebron wants out by end of season.

A Hero Mavs Fan Mouthed "Fire Nico" While On The Jumbotron And Was Immediately Escorted Out Of The Arena

just talked to a hardcore parkour mavs fan for a few minutes - you'd think this trade happened yesterday because homie is still freshly pissed - and i quote - "i don't care if we win a championship this year i won't enjoy it - i will not celebrate it - we need a new gm and new ownership"

Same here. My bro lives in DFW and he said they can’t get thru the natural stages of grief because the dumb*** owner keeps yapping his trap. It’s like stop insulting your fansbase’s intelligence already.

The Mavs will soon be in just as bad a spot as we are. Kyrie has so much leverage now he can probably get a max plus NTC into his mid-30’s.

Did you mean her trap?

This is the owner of the Mavs:

I don’t get it.. is he not a fan of the team or is he just a fan of the player? Sounds more like he is a fan of the player.

If the Cardinals traded Fitz away in his prime for nothing I would be piss but that all goes away if we won a championship.. the goal was accomplished..

I can understand it a little bit if you firmly believed that Doncic could have led you to multiple championships. But yeah, as a Suns fan, it's hard to not be grateful for a single championship in your lifetime.

I didn't use to care so much about championships. I loved watching the team play and I cared about every single game. I wanted us to win a title but building a team that appeared capable of winning a title was the main thing I was concerned about. Somewhere along the line I joined the "we're losers if we don't win it all" group and my fandom has taken a nosedive as a result.

I think at a certain age or certain numbers of years of fandom if you never win one your fandom has to eventually evolve to that. Ultimately sports is about winning and losing. The ultimate winning is a championship. If you’ve been cheering for a team for decades and never experience that as you see others get to do so eventually it just has to be somewhat consuming. Made all the worse by being an Arizona fan where all you have to hang your hat on is:

One World Series
One Arizona basketball ncaa championship
Mercury and rattlers championahips

I mean, that’s freaking bleak for a major metropolitan area that had all four professional sports teams and two power conference colleges.

You nailed it Ouchie. I have been a fan of Arizona sports teams since the 50's. But we have only 2 (what I considered major sports) championships in all that time. The Diamondbacks team in 2001 was magical. Yeah, we mortgaged the future (like no one else has ever bought a championship) but that team was special and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Then there is the Wildcats' National Championship in 97. I was on a business trip to SF and watched the game with a co-worker in a bar. We were the only two cheering on Arizona. Man, the highly ranked seeds they had to beat to win it all was the best I have ever witnessed. It made this Arizona guy so proud (and I am an ASU grad). We have had multiple chances for major championships, but this is all we have to show for it. I don't see another major championship in the near future, but that is all I can hope for. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

I’d give anything for those 1988-1992 KJ/Horny 50 wins and at least one playoff series win clubs again.

At least those teams were fun to watch. Out of the last 15 years with the Suns we’ve basically had 2 seasons of fun basketball. That is a SERIOUS dry spell of bad basketball.

Well, unfortunately, we haven't even had that the last two seasons. At this point, I'd be happy to get back to there for starters.

It's been 2 years and I am still pissed about the KD trade... so I get it.

A team has to be prepared to take advantage when opportunity comes their way. The Suns 2020-21 Finals team is an example.
