Mavs have a leadership problem | Cuban and Harlabob argue on Twitter

I think Killer made an excellent post and I totally agree with it. Luka is 22 years old and Mavs front office has done basically nothing to help him. He should be accountable but FO is really the last in line able to do that, based on their total failure to do their job. One of the reasons I was calling to bring in a guy like Lowry, a respected vet leader. Interestingly enough same people who were so much against that move (Lowry is overpaid arguments) are pointing out the maturity problems. 

Luka is a guy who lives for challenges based on all reports. A game against league bottom feeder who they just beat by 30 two days ago is basically the further away from called a challenge. We have seen him like this several times last season against bottom feeders. You have two options. You can cry about it and wait for him to mature or you can help him. Mavs obviously chose the first option, intentionally or not. The sad part is that Mavs don't have enough depth to battle through this kind of games.

I pointed out in the preseason, how low ceiling this team has. They need superstar Luka to be able to win, even against the likes of NO. I can't understand how one could think this team is good enough to contend. The problem is not Luka, it is not coaching stuff (although they could be accountable for drastic offensive efficiency drop), it is not the rest of players. It is a simple fact that this team is not good enough, which was obvious in the summer already.
