MAVS NEWS: Luka Wins Community Cares Award! | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

The comment Josh makes has been one of my concerns for years.  It is tough to play basketball when you don't touch the ball for a few minutes  and then get it when you are wide open.  On the other hand, having Luka and Kyrie with the ball typically leads to good success.   While I would like more ball movement, I think you can also let Josh and our other guards at least dribble down the court and then get the ball to Kyrie or Luka.  At least they touch the ball then.

Yeah, that paragraph was the main takeaway of the whole article for me. It’s harder to build a basketball team around a guy like Luka than we might realize. As much as I admire him and worship his game, I really kind of miss the days when the Mavericks moved the ball.

This is not a suggestion that the Mavericks would be better off without Doncic, obviously. I just wish they could find a happy medium between heliocentric and the ball movement styles. Seems like the only thing they’ve tried to do to balance out the heliocentric is to run more in transition. To me, that is a good start, but not enough.
