What does it all mean?

[LukTheShadow]

Regarding Luka staying in DAL I would say only this: Even he is young kid, he was always chasing WINS. Give him a chance to follow this and he'll stay here for ever.

I don't know. He was winning in Read Madrid, and he left that club.

He left U9 team when he was 7, U12 when he was 9, U16 at 14-15, U18 at 16 years and Senior team with 19 years. He always left his team before his time to go. And he always learned how to be the best guy around, not in first year, but in second and further. Sounds familiar?

In the long run, all kinds of things can happen, and we can't know the future. 

In the short term, I think it is a matter of Luka buying into the idea that a longer-term outlook is more in his interest than immediately going into a win-now mode. His progress may well step up their timeline, but they aren't in a position to make much in the way of changes that will dramatically impact this season. Agree that Luka is a smart kid, and he should see the benefits of staying in position to get another star in the next year or two.

Luka's draft presentation video about his goals in NBA should be taken serious. There is link somewhere on this board. He knew very precisely how things working in nba when entering the league and he set his ring goal in year 4 or 5, not sure. But that does not mean that he will not push himself and all around to and beyond their limits to get a W on every and each game. 

There is plenty of time, even for generic team growth and there is no need to force mavs into some asap buyitnow or hurraytrade option. Looking at the scoreboard atm even less necessary.
