Obviously Luka would want the spotlight. But wow, being held hostage to immaturity?
1 If Luka ever wants to play on the BIGGEST stage, there is no question the Mavs need an infusion of much better talent.
2 There are legit questions arising about Luka's priorities, and maturity, since with great regularity he seems more interested in negotiating for favorable whistles and playing hero ball than in playing the game in a winning manner.
3 The adults in the room (if there are any) should never cater to those whose only interest is instant gratification. Someone needs to make the hard decisions.
4 Luka seething over and having to deal with a lost season would be a good thing, if it made him grow up in how he approaches the game. And let's be honest, it's time to face the truth that this is a lost season, and huge changes are needed.
