Now there is a great possibility that Cuban would mess up and ruin Luka's Prime anyway...
I agree...that's about as stupid as the day is long. This nonsense that if we lose enough, one day we'll win if nonsense.
The only way you tank with Luka is to trade him or have him out for the season and NO ONE wants that.
I'm going to tell you another thing, and you had better get this...winners like Luka don't come around often. Honestly, the more I read about him, his competitiveness is more in the mold of a Michael Jordan than just about anyone, especially after that interview with Mike Shedd the other day, I'm even more convinced.
WINNERS LIKE THAT DON'T TOLERATE LOSING...even if they think it might in the future lead to winning.
You want Luka gone faster than anything...tank and tell him to lose. Go for it, genius, because this isn't 2K and you are just throwing ratings together on a spreadsheet, and you are just playing anyway.
Winners are a blessing and a curse. Losers often aren't untalented, they are just mediocre people, and this quote I heard from Nick Saban is true.
"Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people."
We all know what Luka is....you see how long he stays if you purport to be the person in that quote. Honestly, that's the ONLY way I see him leaving.
