It's pretty crazy how ineffective everyone is when Luka sits.
I figured it was a scheduled loss though. This team does desperately need another ball creator that can take control and lead the offense. Brunson (who while I still maintain isn't worth that contract) could lead an offense for half a quarter relatively well, even if only it was him creating efficient shots for himself.
It does make me wonder how much better this team would function if we had a guy like FVV. Of course he's nowhere near Brunson in terms of efficiency and he's declining due to age/injury, but he's still a 20ppg guy who's delivered on the biggest stage. He can defend too.
But then I think about the 130+ mil contract the Mavs would be forced to throw at him this summer and my stomach turns queasy. Maybe if he comes along with Siakam I'd be okay.
