Bey: Coach I got this. I´m ready.
Carlisle: You are too young.
Bey: I´m 23.
Carlisle: Exactly.
Bey: Luka is 22.
Carlisle: Yeah, but he´s European. It´s more like dog years with them. Melli.
Bey: But that means Melli is over 200 years old.
Carlisle: Now you get. He got experience.

This is absolutely hilarious

Took one good game, for you all to act like he was the 2nd coming of Francis of Assisi, because he is Italian and had six points in a game against the OKC G-Leaguers.  

I don´t know how to break this to you: THE MAVS DID NOT EVEN WANT HIM. (Though I guess that could count in his favour given their talent evaluation skills)

The Spurs forced him upon them with their late pullout, but now this UNWANTED 30 year old veteran journeyman on an expiring contract is immediately JUMPING the line over a 23 year Tyler Bey the Mavs actively selected, as in WANTED. I guess Melli changed the MBT´s mind and earned his minutes by the way he walked out of the airport. 

He will also 100% be gone in the summer, so he´s of absolutely no consequence to the Mavs/Luka´s future.

Saving this little tidbit for later.  Excited to see how this post ages

Wow we've gotten lucky the past 2 nights with what could have been disaster injuries for Luka...especially tonight. That fall was scary, the way he landed 

Yeah, the way his leg bent back did not look good.
