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

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

The only difference between your take and mine is that he won me over. Love him as a Mav. I still hope there isn't an explosion at some point, but I think it's very unlikely to be during the rest of this year if one's on the way. The greater concern is that he needs to not get hurt - which, unless he's been a professional malingerer for the past ten years or so, is out of both his hands and ours.

I think he's in the best situation possible.  He's Robin and no longer wants to be Batman.  He's in a small market-like homer sports media environment.  Luka seems to be an ingratiating superstar, making him an easy teammate.  The whole roster seems to be filled with good guys, allowing Kyrie to coach and motivate.  He feels wanted in Dallas because he is.
