Hey.. I don’t post here much, but I have been a fan for almost 20 years, and I created an account here almost 11 years ago.
We had two incredible milestones along the way - saving the team from relocation and a new ownership led by vivek. But I can’t mention one milestone that has to do with basketball itself.
There’s a song from where I come from “everything that could go wrong will go wrong”.
I think of how we traded isaiah thomas after a fantastic rookie year for nothing. I think of jimmer, thomas robinson, nik stauskas and more players we drafted who just busted out. I think of how we traded an allstar, healthy boogie cousins for buddy hield. I think of how we fired malone who is now doing a tremendous job for the nuggets.
But this is what really broke me..
I saw how Sergio Llull, the Real Madrid superstar tear his ACL, and then a 19 y/o kid came off the bench to replace him. The kid was destroying europe like it’s World War One. was the youngest ever to win euroleauge mvp. Then we got the #2 pick. I changed my forum signature to “Luka Doncic is COMING”. Luka proved himself by outplaying adults, not other 19 year olds. He was literally the safest pick in the draft. I really, really, really have no idea how valde sleeps at night.
I will stay a fan,100%. But I will be distancing myself emotionally, at least for a season or two.
Hats off to you guys for managing to stick around… See you soon.
