fukked up Nico taking the heat for this when the Mavs owners and Adam Silver was behind this
Facts.
Mavs white fans and media want to pin it 100% on Nico because they have certain "beliefs" about a Black man's ability to run a front office.
Listening to local radio, and white hosts/callers etc., single out Nico and never mention Nike, Silver/NBA, Adelson or Dumont. These whites are trying to convince everyone that Nico acted solo and just used his hate of Euros to trick Adelson into dumping Luka.
This is why the Mavs could never get top shelf FA before Luka. Dallas whites try to act like they're not racist, but the dog whistling here has been no joke. Every time you bring up Adelson, they try to focus it back on Nico. Honestly I'm almost happy these front-running azz Gen Z fans are mad. I was a fan when the team was trash and owned by Perot. These fools only became fans when Dirk was entering his prime and because he's white.
If Nico was a white boy, they'd all be focused on Adelson.
They ain't slicc.
