Anybody heard what they have planned for Dirk's last home game next Tuesday (assuming he retires)? I noticed they are now calling it "Dirk Appreciation Day."
They have announced at the last couple of games that there will be a post-game celebration in the arena on Tuesday, and specifically site that it's for Dirk. It has not been announced that it's a retirement celebration, but we're all reading between the lines


Nice. Hadn't heard about the post game celebration. Wonder what they could possibly have planned? Hopefully it's cool.

I can 100% say there will be a video tribute with words spoken by Cuban and potentially other players/coaches BUT there is also a whispered rumor that a statue unveiling will take place

I don't see how they could unveil the statue then. Feel like that should be unveiled for the season opener next year, or sometime in the offseason.

So were you not impressed with Bruno Caboclo awkwardly turning the ball over on 90% of his touches?

Devastating win last night. Final nail in the coffin will likely be tomorrow night against the Suns.

Tough to say. In the end it will likely cost the Mavs about 10% on their odds to keep their pick (from ~35% to ~25%). It was a high leverage game and it would have been better to lose. However it isn't impossible that the lucky Zion lotto ticket is in the 7th spot, so maybe that win will save them. Who knows. It is improbable no matter what, either way the Mavs need to win tonight. Dirk can't walk off the court for the last time with a loss (I doubt he even travels to SA tomorrow).

I'd be shocked if he didn't travel... A great way to go out, against a historic rival. That being said, tonight will be tough. I'm already feeling the emotional toll.

We dont even want to keep our pick unless its the #1 though. I dont get all this talk of tanking

We want to have our pick for next draft

Misread my bad. If they can land a top 3 pick I think they'll keep. If not they can try to flip it and see if they can snag a couple more

That's what I've been saying all along. People are all about instant gratification these days I guess.

I've heard talk that Culver from Texas tech could be a top 5 pick. I wasn't too impressed with him when I watched the last few games of March madness. I've been trying to tell people that the 2020 draft class will be a lot stronger than this years.

Last year, tanking made sense because we had no direction and weren't building anything. That all changed when we got doncic. There's no point in tanking now.

I'm just glad the season has 2 days left so people will quit rooting against the team.

I would rather keep the pick this year, make the playoffs next year, and give Atlanta the 15-20th pick. It's a weak draft, but not weak enough for that difference. This is assuming the team is a playoff team next year, though, which is not a given.

Dirk gets 10 to start. I'm having so much fun watching this guy. I've had so much fun watching this guy. Going to miss him fiercely.
