There was a mention on how a generational talent usually means multiple titles.
Now I know both Dirk and Luka had/have their flaws but Dirk showed in 2011 and in 2006 that he was not even looking for all world players next to him. Give him any of TP/Manu or Shaq or Bynum/Pau/Not drugged out Odom and he wins most likely 3 or 4 titles given what he did with the 2006 and 2011 cast.
Luka for all his whining is a true transcendent scorer. This guy can come in with a pot belly and there is no defender who can slow him down let alone stop him.
However he is stuck on a franchise that has the easiest job possible but cannot figure out how to go about it. Avery, Donnie who had mailed it in for many years, Nico, Kidd, The Gambler, … the hits keep coming. Not to mention all the non basketball garbage that happened with the Mavs corporate staff. What a clown show. Give Luka a halfway decent owner and front office and you will see him winning a handful of titles. Plus a lot of his bad behavior is probably frustration at being stuck with this owner and franchise.
Dirk’s biggest strength was his loyalty. His biggest weakness was also his loyalty. He should have called out Cuban a long time ago. Maybe things would be different. It is too late now and we honestly have one of the worst owners in the game. He might not be a bad guy like Sarver but when it comes to sheer incompetence, Cuban is probably the worst.
