Target someone in the draft that can challenge Luka defensively during and after practice and can make each other better. Trade up in the draft if you have to, which is going to be painful. I know I am in fantasy land but this is my 2 cents. And I realize not everything has to be about the Bulls. I think Klay was drafted in the 11th spot, which isn't out of the Mavs reach.
Great thoughts here.
I guess the glaring difference between the two situations is the frequency of guys like Luka changing teams these days.
It's an important philosophical tipping point, however. I'm not sure it's possible for the Mavs to keep Luka AND add a lottery pick, but I also kind of hope they're at least thinking about ways to keep that door open.
