The shock of a deal is instantaneous, but it takes a long time to heal the emotional twists and turns of the deal. Less than 24 hours is still too short a time, and many people have not yet recovered, including Luka Doncic.

With the deal officially announced, Doncic's move to the Lakers is a foregone conclusion. Doncic also posted a non-short article on social media to express his gratitude to Dallas.

Doncic said to the effect: "Dear Dallas, seven years ago, I came here as a young man to pursue my dream of playing basketball at the highest level, imagining that I would spend my entire career here, and I was so eager to bring you a championship trophy."

The love and support you have given me is something I could never have dreamed of, and for a young man from Slovenia who came to the United States for the first time, you made North Texas my home.

Your support has never changed, in good times and bad, from injuries to the NBA Finals, and thank you for not only sharing joy with me in our best moments, but also supporting me when I needed it most. Dallas is a special place, and Mavericks fans are special fans. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and thank you for your support. ”

Doncic's former club has also spoken out, but this former club is Real Madrid and not the Mavericks. Real Madrid officials said to Doncic: "Dear Luka, I wish you good luck and greater success in the new phase of your athletic career with the Lakers. All Real Madrid fans are proud of you and we will be with you in this new challenge. ”

From Real Madrid to the Lakers, Doncic's giant genes have been continued, and his career with the Mavericks for nearly seven years is more like a transit point in life, but for the city of Dallas, Doncic has given all his emotions.

I'm not a Mavericks fan, I'm not a Doncic fan, but I can still read between the lines of Doncic's love for the city. But the more this is the case, the more it shows that behind this deal of the Mavericks, it is full of backstabs.

No matter how outrageous the news released by the Mavericks is now, such as Doncic's injury is serious, such as Doncic's extreme indiscipline and soaring weight. Doncic's contribution to the city is indelible to the Mavericks.

When I think back to Doncic's Dallas career, the first thing that comes to mind is last year's Finals, where Doncic gritted his teeth under the influence of the injury but still tried to defend himself. There is too much evidence of Doncic's indiscipline, but there are also too many examples of his competitiveness.

Doncic can giggle off the court, and there is not a moment when Doncic on the court is not thinking about winning. Throughout the playoffs last year, Doncic actually had a small injury and kept persevering, leading the Mavericks all the way back to the Finals.

Throughout the playoffs, Doncic was the Mavericks' most points, rebounds, assists, and steals, and he did enough, but he didn't feel like it was enough. After losing the finals, he left only one sentence: "Injuries don't matter, I can't do enough." ”

Constantly fighting in the face of adversity is the cultural label of this lone ranger. Before Doncic, Nowitzki's Mavericks experienced more setbacks, as they went on a regular season run but met the god-damned Wade in the Finals.

Nowitzki won the MVP, but was swept away by the Warriors. Even they suffered the Black Seven, and the opponent was still the sworn rival Spurs in the same district, and Nowitzki was labeled as a soft egg at the peak of his career.

But then I remembered that these setbacks in adversity were an important part of the Mavericks' team culture. Because they never lacked the courage to do it again, they were black seven after the black eight, and they reached the finals the next year when everyone was not optimistic, overturning the Heat Big Three in the first year of the team.

What really touches people's hearts is not the golden trophy, but all the hardships that have been experienced before getting this trophy. It is the perseverance under the suffering, and the regrouping after falling to the bottom, that makes the taste after reaching the top so happy.

The culture of the Lone Ranger, or Maverick, is tenacity and unyieldingness, great individual heroism, and a team spirit that never abandons. When Nowitzki retired, everyone was telling the story of his man and city, and lamenting his two-way journey with Cuban. At the same time, Mavericks fans are also rejoicing that Doncic and Nowitzki have passed on the torch and the team culture will not be broken.

Underneath Nowitzki's statue, there is an inscription: "Loyalty never dies". When Doncic was traded, the irony of this sentence skyrocketed, and the loyalty here is the loyalty of the player to the team? Or is it the team's loyalty to the players?

If Dallas values the championship so much, it shouldn't give up Doncic, the man who led them to the Finals a year ago. When management decided to drop Doncic, the team culture was torn apart in an instant.

It's not that the Mavericks can't trade Doncic, anyone can be traded, except for Beal, who has the veto power over the trade. But the Mavericks don't have to be in such a "betrayal" way, everything is done quietly, without telling Doncic a word, without giving Doncic a little respect.

I would have set my heart on Mingyue, but Mingyue didn't want me at all. We don't know what irreconcilable contradictions there are between Doncic and management, but either way, it's not the reason why the Mavericks treat Doncic the way they do.

Doncic must be sad, I really thought that Doncic would end up as a Maverick, and Doncic himself must have thought so. But being "left" in such a way is the first time that Doncic, a young man who is not yet 26 years old, has seen the cruel side of society for the first time.

In Doncic's thank-you letter, it's all thanks. Thanks to his teammates, coaches, and teams, and the Mavericks for making him grow, the so-called repaying grievances with virtue is probably like this.

May there be no years to look back on, and from now on the end of the world is a stranger. Goodbye, Dallas.
