MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[omahen]

I like the article commentary. Shows that the Mavs recognize that 1) they have to improve short-term, AND 2) keep their major assets (future firsts) for the future. I get that everyone's concerned that they'll overdo the first, but the balance in their mind is good news.

Every trade partner knows Mavs are desperate and will be more desperate after each passing deadline. In a market where sellers are rare and a range of potential contenders is very broad, prices will certainly be high. I think way out for Mavs is:
(at TDL) another Wood like gamble for a player with question marks with everyone praying it will work out
(in the summer) all in on a legit 2-way wing

Another comment - McMahon is writing a book about Luka focused on the pressure a young star brings on an organization. A lot of sentences from that article seem as sentences that should be in such book
