Dirk Talks about the Luka Trade and his feelings on the Mavs organization
Dirk Nowitzki had a German podcast with his sister Silke for his foundation. He - numerous times - calls the trade "insanity". Says he was about going to lunch when he heard about it and skipped lunch to sit in his hotel room for 1 hour.
Silke specifically asks Dirk, if by now he has heard of any reasons:
Dirk emphazises that he hasn´t beeninvolved with the Mavs for the last 2 years.
Dirk says it only can be about Luka´s preparation, not about his play.
Dirk talks about watching Luka playing in a yellow jersey in Crypto.
He calls it "strange" and "bizarre"
He calls the current situation with all the injuries "the new reality as a Mavs fan"
"It will take time" to live with this.
Says Cuban has little to no influence on anything.
Interestingly he implies criticism on Cuban:
Says Cuban had to expect what would happen, when he sold the majority share.
Says "last year things developed into that direction" and VERY BITTERLY he says:
"now we see, how everything panned out...."
