2020-2021 Dallas Mavericks Will Miss The Playoffs

With respect, this is just flatly ridiculous, imo. 

In some really important ways, I think Luka is only 25% now of what he will be in 5 years. He's still getting better daily. He is certainly not among the top 5 of players you'd want leading your team in a 7-game series THIS YEAR if your life depended on the outcome. And, while I agree that he's likely to eclipse Dirk during his time here (which feels sacrilegious to say) to claim that he has already done that is BONKERS. 

Luka is amazing, and we're so lucky he's a Maverick, but putting him on such an unrealistic pedestal doesn't help anyone get to any truth about the team, imo. His teammates are not worthless. His coach is not worthless. He does make mistakes from time to time, and he does have areas that need improvement.
