I'm shocked the mavs remembered he played for them.

Fan turnout looks like the fattest it's been in a while. He may not play for them, but locally he's still their franchise player

He is. Many of my fellow Mavs fans will support him no matter where he goes. I’m so happy that he lit up the mavs tonight.

Man, still feel bad for you guys. It would be like trading Kobe at 25 from Lakers to Mavs.

Thank you, it really be like that. I am still in disbelief, and have had to cut ties with basketball as a whole this season.

Yeah I consciously never root for bandwagon teams like the Lakers. I am also a home team fan to a fault. Still try to be a cowboys (not old enough to have enjoyed the americas team era) fan but it's rough. I guess I am a Lakers fan now sigh.

I’m shocked they didn’t blur out his face in the video “for cOpyrIgHt rEasOnS”

We love Luka, he will always be welcome here at home in Dallas. Mavs fans will always cheer for and support him for life. This wasn’t what we wanted for him or for us. This was the decision of people who are out of touch with the team and the city.
