The room is full of reporters and news cameras. The doors have been locked as to not allow anyone else in the packed room. They sit there for roughly 15 minutes until the doors finally open. GM Darth Vegito walks out followed by a few assistants who are carrying two trophies which look like the Larry O'Brien trophies. Everyone is stunned, and the mumbling ensues. Most assumed they are fake replicas, but a few reporters know their trophies, they seem to be the real trophies. Confusion is upon everyone's faces. They set the trophies on each side of Darth as he starts to speak.
Darth: Hello everyone. How are all of you today? Don't answer that, I don't really care. I see some shock among your faces. Your saying to yourselves that these can't possibly be two real Larry O'Brien trophies. Well I am here to tell you they are indeed real. There was some chatter as to why the 2 trophies brought out during the Boston Celtics puts conference looked so cheap. It's because they were cheap knock off replicas, I had someone steal the Celtics two trophies.
The room gets extremely loud with chatter and mumbling.
Darth: ok ok, quiet down. We will be returning the trophies...at some point. Why did we do this? Well wanted to prove the ultimate point to our coaching staff and players. They walked in from the off season and immediately saw the trophies. They were confused, disgusted, distraught, surprised, and angry all the same time. We had them set up next to a video feed of game 7 against the Celtics last year. You may say this is a pretty bold thing to do just to make a statement, and you'd be right. But the truth is that in five seasons, we've made the NBA finals twice with two completely different teams and come up short both times. While that in itself is an impressive feat, we have no jewelry. It's not about making it to the finals, it's all about the jewelry. I wanted to show these players, existing and new, that these trophies have been in reach many times. Yet we didn't take advantage of the opportunity. I wanted to tease them with these glorious golden basketballs. And I do think they received the message loud and clear.
Darth: We expect to contend every year here in Dallas. We expect excellence. We realize it's not always attainable but I intend on always putting a contender on that court year in and year out. As you can see, we made lots of changes after that finals loss. If you count Scottie as our sixth man, which he was most of the year, that means we replaced 4 out of our 5 starters this season. We brought in lots of veteran leadership while at the same time improving our financial situation. We are very very excited get this season underway and defend our division crown AND our conference crown. We have every intention of avenging our finals loss to the Celtics this year. And I expect to see them there well. I won't get into the specifics of our moves since there were so many.
The floor is yours...ask away!
