库班在 The Trade 一周年评价这笔交易：这是个错误，我多希望他们能先和我商量。我为卢卡现在的表现感到高兴，尽管我承认我们所有人仍然想念卢卡，我也为独行侠球迷得到了弗拉格感到开心。当初负责这笔交易的人员大多已离职，我认为这是必要的。

"It was a mistake and I wish they would have spoken to me first. I'm happy for Luka. And I'm happy for Mavs fans that we've got Coop, even though I recognize that we all still miss Luka. The people responsible for that [deal] are for the most part gone, which I think was necessary."

Marc Stein 尝试联系前任总经理，但被告知拒绝评论此事。

I reached out to him to this week to share that I was doing a One Year Later piece in hopes of getting a quote or two. We indeed connected but he declined comment.

据我所知，德克与独行侠大股东杜蒙特自去年春天起就保持着公开的对话——在前任总经理被解雇的几个月前。独行侠非常希望诺维茨基能回归球队，并已向他传达他可以以任何自己选择的角色回归。

现年47岁的诺维茨基本赛季专注于他作为 Amazon Prime NBA 演播室分析师的新工作，同时还要履行他作为国际篮联董事会成员，及这项运动国际管理机构全球大使的各项职责与差旅任务。

To my knowledge, he and Mavericks majority owner Patrick Dumont have had an open dialogue since the spring ... months before Harrison's firing. The Mavericks badly want Nowitzki to return to the organization and have conveyed to him that he can do so in any role he chooses, but the 47-year-old has focused this season on his new job as a studio analyst for Amazon as well as his various duties and travel obligations as a FIBA board member and global ambassador for the sport's international governing body.
