A hurt Luka Doncic says goodbye to Dallas without mentioning the Mavs: "I thought I would spend my whole career here"

A saddened Luka Doncic has poured out all his emotions in a couple of Instagram posts. First, with an emotional letter, which we show below, bidding goodbye to the city of Dallas and then remembering his coaches and teammates. There is not a single mention of the Dallas Mavericks as an organization.

From the statement, the part where Luka makes it clear that he has been blindsided is when he explains that he thought he would retire with the Mavs and had set his sights on winning a ring with the Texan franchise:

"Dear Dallas. Seven years ago, I arrived here as a teenager chasing my dream of playing basketball at the highest level. I thought I would spend my whole career here and was eager to win a championship. The love and support you have given me is more than I could have ever dreamed of. For a young kid from Slovenia coming to the United States for the first time, you made me feel at home in North Texas. Through thick and thin, from injuries to the NBA Finals, your support never wavered. Thank you not only for sharing my joy in our best moments, but also for lifting me up when I needed it the most.

To all the organizations I have worked with in the Dallas community, thank you for allowing me to contribute to your important work and let me join you in shining light for those in need. As I start the next part of my career, I leave the city that will always make me feel at home away from home. Dallas is a special place and Mavs fans are special.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart,

Luka".
