MUCH more from Dirk Nowitzki's nearly two-minute answer on the firing of Nico Ha
rrison:
"Well, I think there's just too many distractions, too much going on to keep goi
ng this way. This move should have probably happened this summer honestly. I did
n't want this negative energy and this black cloud over the Cooper Flagg era, bu
t here we are now.
我認為這中間有太多的紛紛擾擾，有太多事情需要被解決，這件事早該在夏天時就發生，我
不希望在Cooper Flagg的時代開始就有這麼多負能量，但我們終究走到這步。
"I just knew ... I figured this fan base is a passionate and loyal fan base. I w
as lucky enough to experience it for 21 years. And I knew they weren't (going to
) just get over it, as people say, or forget about it. They're extremely passion
ate.
我認為我們擁有一群非常有熱情和忠誠度的球迷，我非常幸運能體驗了21年，我也知道他們
不會像其他人說的那樣覺得這樣就算了，或是輕易的遺忘這件事，他們是真的很熱情。
"And this trade just made no sense. It made no sense to (the fans). And, really,
there was no explanation for it, either. You go to the (NBA) Finals the year be
fore. You gave up all these assets to build, really, the team around Luka with s
ome 6-9 wings that all can switch and guard. You had two lob threats with (Danie
l) Gafford and (Dereck) Lively and the team was built around him. You added Klay
(when) the shooting was a little bit of an issue in the Finals against Boston.
So you did all this. ... Going into (the) Christmas Day game, they were 14-3 out
of the last 17 games, so they're just starting to hit their stride and then Luk
a gets hurt. And unfortunately that's the last game he's ever played in a Mavs u
niform.
那筆交易是毫無邏輯的，尤其是對於球迷來說，球隊前一年才剛打進總決賽，花了這麼多資
產圍繞Luka建隊，有一群可以換防的6呎9側翼，還有兩個可以接空拋的中鋒，為了解決總決
賽的投射問題，外圍射手也補進了Klay，你做了這一切，在聖誕大戰之前17場比賽打出14勝
3敗的戰績，球隊狀態正好，然後Luka就受傷了，很不幸的那是他最後一次穿著獨行俠的球衣
打球。
"It was very sad. It was very sad how that ended and it felt like ... the fans f
eel like they got robbed of actually seeing the end, seeing this through, seeing
Luka develop into a hopefully a champion one day and it feels like they never g
ot to see the end to this. So this was very heartbreaking."
這結局很讓人難過，尤其是球迷被剝奪了看到Luka成長，並且希望有一天成為冠軍的機會，
沒有機會看到這個結局，對球迷來說實在是非常心碎的事。
