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

Every time they do one of these deals, the future gets a little less bright. I like the two players they got a lot, I just don’t think they can afford to operate like this anymore. They really are starting to feel like Cleveland did the first time LeBron played there.

Yes, I agree completely. They are mortgaging/risking a lot of their future to build a team around Luka that is capable of winning. But do you blame them? Don't you have to show Luka that you're making every effort possible to put the right guys around him? 

Luka is involved in these discussions and wants these to happen. LeBron and Luka are two of the few players in the league, that demand winning at all costs. As fans, we certainly discuss/debate how that's a bad idea for a franchise to operate, rightfully so. I just don't think it's realistic to expect the front office to "do nothing" or "try to add draft capital by selling off some of their depth".
