With the recent dealing of two Dallas fan-favorites: scrappy point guard Steve Nash and hard-nosed hustler Eduardo Najera, Dallas may need to start worrying about their regular-season sellout streak (112).

"The hardest part of this thing all along was Eddie," Nelson said. "He was the heart and soul in a lot of ways for this team. We tried everything we could to keep him out of the deal, but it was a deal-breaker from Golden State's viewpoint."

Will the Mavericks maintain their immense fan support? Fans are resilient, and only time will tell.
