Luka is absolutely a fierce competitor and not only wants, but expects to win wherever he is.
He clearly sat back and enjoyed the historic season he had and didn’t take his off season seriously the way the legends do.
I think once KP gets back they can right the ship and make the playoffs and compete. But this season is going to take the shine off Luka at a national level...and that’s honestly just fine with me.
Will be a wake up call for the youngin and a competitor like Luka will figure it out. After this season would be a great time for Dirk to jump back into the fray and take a hands on roll with helping coach Luka up on how to handle an NBA offseason.
No more Fat Luka after this year please. Fat Luka is hard to watch.
I agree with most of this but the Mavs have some glaring issues that go beyond just KP and Luka. They need to make a trade because one of the issues is THJ and Richardson are not a good fit. THJ is not a legit Small Forward and he and Richardson occupy the same floor space so things are very awkward with them starting together.
The Mavs need to shake things up
By the way I am not opposed to starting Josh Green for a while so that I have 3 defenders starting and put THJ on the bench.
